by the Interstate Association, will be used in this tour¬ 
nament; all purses being divided Rose system, ratio 
points, 5, 3, 2, 1. 
In the challenge trophy event entrance will be $5, the 
net purse divided as provided in special rules elsewhere 
printed. 
In extra or other special events moneys will be divided 
as may be decided on the grounds by mutual agreement 
of the contestants. 
All targets will be trapped at 3 cents each, this amount 
being deducted from the gross purses. 
1 hus it will be noted that the total entrance for 
the regular program amounts to $48, of which $13.50 
represents targets, $3 the individual contribution to the 
money-back system, and $31.50 the net purses. Adding 
$8 for the regular special events, the total entrance for 
the week is $56. 
THE CONDITIONS. 
To be eligible for the Squier money-back system, a 
contestant must compete in all regular program events. 
. entrance for the regularly scheduled special events 
is optional with the shooter. 
The Pacific Indians add $500 in cash and sterling 
trophies besides guaranteeing to every contestant who 
comes and participates in all events his money back, 
less the price of targets. In other words, every par¬ 
ticipant who fails to win $31.50 in the thirty regular 
events will at the conclusion of the tourney be paid his 
total winnings, plus whatever amount may be necessary 
to make up that sum. 
Contest for the Indians’ class average honors on the 
last day will be for three sterling silver trophies of equal 
v e e ' r Tho , se who averaged 92 per cent, or better will

Beaver Crossing Gun Club. 
ntAVF.R uR'OsstNG, Neb., April 17.-FoIlowing are the 
scores made at Beaver Crossing, Neb., April 11 and 12 , 
the first shoot under the Squier money-back system in 
the State of Nebraska. We have tried all kinds of 
systems lor dividing money to please the shooters, but 
w-e can say more for the Squier money-back than any 
Mtt o!f m ' j ., 5 . . we on hand amounted to 
$-55.30, and $104.20 paid back the losses. This left for 
Hie high guns ranging from $27.50 to $4.50 per man. 
iliis looked good to some of the boys, as most of them 
did not expect to get any average money back. The 
weather was perfect the first day, and nothing short of 
a tornado the second, which accounts for some of the 
low scores on the second day.

J. C. 
Evans, 
Sec’y. 
Harrison (Ohio) Gun Club. 
The second annual merchandise shoot of the club was 
held on April 21, and was a success in every way, except 
that the attendance was below expectations. For this 
the weather clerk must be blamed, as he started the day 
in with a heavy rainstorm, which kept many of the out- 
of-town shooters from starting for Harrison, and by the 
time the rain^ had ceased, it was too late. J. G. Francis 
and A. M. Turrell had worked hard, and everything 
possible was provided for the comfort of the visitors, but 
the weather was beyond their control. However, it 
was not at all a bad day after 10 o’clock, barring the 
wind, which caused the targets to jump and duck un¬ 
expectedly, with the effect of cutting some of the shoot¬ 
ers’ scores below their average. The grounds are located 
on the banks of the Whitewater River, the targets being 
thrown toward the water. Some of the shooters were 
bothered by a row of willows on the river bank, but, on 
the whole, the background is very good. A couple of 
practice events were shot in order to give the strangers a 
chance to get a line on the targets, as well as in the 
hope that more shooters might arrive by later trains. 
The program was started at about 11, and was finished 
before 3. a recess being taken at noon for lunch. Over 
2(10 of the town people, including a number of ladies, 
were present, and showed much interest in the sport. 
The program consisted of four events at 15 and two at 
20 targets each, a total of 100 targets; entrance $1 in a 
single event, or $5 for the entire program. Ten prizes 
were offered in each of the 15-target events, and 16 in 
each of the 20-target events, ranging in value from 50 
cents to $8 each. The three high guns received $5, $3 
and $2, and the low man was given $1. Fred Gilbert and 
L. J. Squier shot a very close race all through, being 
tied at the close of the fifth event, with only 3 misses 
each. In the last event they both went up in the air, 
Gilbert not reaching quite the altitude attained by Squier, 
and finishing 1 target in the lead with 94 to 93. Both 
scores were extra good under the rather hard conditions. 
Ralph Trimble was third high man with 86 . O. J. 
Holaday, the remaining professional, could not seem to 
locate the clay birds with his usual skill, and only ac¬ 
counted for 79. High average money was won by C. B. 
Woodbury, of the Northern Kentucky Gun Club, on a 
score of 82. Charlie always seems to do better away 
from home, although he has made higher scores than 
he did to-day. He took home home a nice pack of the 
prizes. Second money went to R. H. Bruns, of Brook- 
ville, O., on a score of 81. E. H. Hahn was third high 
amateur. M. H. Johnson fell down badly, and is looking 
for the answer. Perhaps he may get back to the 90 class 
when he quits monkeying with his gun, for he surely can 
and. has many times put up good scores. H. R. Irwin 
did not go home prizeless, although he was not dofng 
his best work by a good many. M. J. Welsh was another 
visitor who could not seem to reach his mark; strange 
grounds and the wind were probably accountable for his 
fall. Turrell and Francis, of the club, refrained from 
breaking any more out of regard for their duty as hosts, 
and to be sure the visitors should have the best of the 
sport; at least, there is no other conceivable reason for 
their not breaking a good many more than they did. 
The two Donalds, of Felicity, O., are getting to be 
familiar figures at the shoots around here, and they are 
certainly welcome every time. T. E. Donald put it over 
his dad again to-day, and is getting to be some shooter, 
though neither of them broke so many as usual. The 
new club in the East End, Cincinnati, was represented 
by A. N. Dietrich. He is a new one at trapshooting, 
and this was his first shoot away from his home grounds, 
so that he need not feel at all ashamed of his showing. 
J. A. Payne, J. E. Schreck, H. S. Connelly and Dr. R. 
L. Bird, of the Cincinnati Gun Club, came over the road 
in the former’s car, and the hardships endured on their 
voyage over the muddy roads, must be held responsible 
for their low scores. Still they all had a chance to step 
up to the cashier’s office several times and select one of 
the prizes. Squier got the best of Fritz after all, beating 
him by one target, including the practice event, in which 
he broke 24 to the latter’s 22, making the totals read: 
Squier 117, Gilbert 116. On the day’s program Holaday 
and Gilbert agreed to do up Squier and Trimble. Their 
intentions were good, but they failed to carry out their 
plans, as the latter team finished with 6 targets to spare, 
179 to 173. Several of the contestants treated the crowd 
to an exhibition of double-target shooting, with the fol¬ 
lowing results: Gilbert 20, Holaday 14, Schreck and 
Payne 12 each out of 12 pairs; Woodbury, 17 out of 13 
pairs; T. E. Donald, 8 ; Kater, 4; Bruns, 8 out of 6 
pairs; Cleaver, 3 out of 3 pairs. The office was in charge 
of L. J. Squier, and it is needless to say that everything 
went smoothly, and that the prizes were all awarded 
promptly at the conclusion of each event. The prizes 
were divided high guns, those in a tie drawing for choice 
of the list in that event. The club has very good 
grounds, and a comfortable house, and the best of it is 
that the firing line is only a short distance from the 
steam and traction cars. Few clubs are so well located. 
Los Angeles Gun Club. 
A regular program tournament will be held May 20 
and 21 by the members of the Los Angeles Gun Club. 
At that time trapshooters from the entire State of Cali¬ 
fornia and Arizona are expected to be seen on the Venice 
grounds, breaking bluerocks. Handsome trophies, with 
additional cash prizes, it is believed, will form an in¬ 
ducement that will attract many outside gun men to con¬ 
test at the shoot. 
C. W. Clement, secretary of the club, believes that by 
the time the tournament will be held, the Los Angeles 
shooters’ eyes will be in the best of shape. 
“Then men will be classified on a basis of 250 birds,” 
said Mr. Clement. “By tHe time they have shot at 
250 targets, a fair estimate of their shooting abilities 
at 250 targets a fair estimate of their shooting abilities 
can be had. There is no doubt that the men will im¬ 
prove with each string of 250 birds they shoot at. They 
will be moved along on the list as fast as they show im¬ 
provement. 
“Six members were signed by us because of our in¬ 
formal shoot last Sunday. If we are able to maintain 
this proportion, our numbers will soon be large. We 
now have more than 175 members. 
“Trapshooting throughout the United States is boom¬ 
ing. It is one of the cleanest sports in the country, 
and it is backed and encouraged by the United States 
government. I he more men who become accustomed 
to guns in the United States the better off it will be 
in case of war. 
“A telephone is being installed on the grounds and 
any member desiring to shoot during the week can call 
up the keeper and inform him to have everything in 
readiness. 
“At our first shoot the out-of-town people did better 
work than the local men. This was because they had 
more practice. Now that the club has started, the men 
will improve quickly.” 
Hyde Park Gun Club. 
April 22 was a nice spring day, with just a trifle too. 
much chill in the air for the comfort of those yatchtng 
the shooting. A strong westerly wind blew in the faces 
of the shooters, causing the targets to climb or duck and 
do other puzzling stunts, and cutting off several per cent, 
from the total scores. Sundy, of Williamstown, shot a 
close race with Holaday for first place, and was only one 
behind at the finish. He used to be one of the best 
shooters around here, and although he has been prac¬ 
tically out of the game for a long time, has not yet for¬ 
gotten how to point. Linder normal conditions, he is 
good for better than 90 per cent. Kerry, a few years ago, 
was one of the regulars at St. Bernard, and is having a 
slight attack of the shooting fever again. We hope it 
will prove severe enough to bring him back into the 
game. His score of 60 per cent, in to-day’s wind was a 
very creditable performance. Frohliger had to leave 
early, and did not finish his 100 . Dr. Leighner was 
beaten by the wind, nothing else could put him in the 
70 per cent, class. De Mar shot his gait in his third 
event, in the others the targets climbed a little too fast 
for him. Some of the members will attend the trophy 
shoot across the river.
