The fine weather of April 23 brought out quite a bunch 
of shooters for the weekly trophy event, * ourt ^?e the 
facing the traps during the afternoon. To be sure, the 
wind made the targets a little more difficult to locate, 
but even with this handicap, some of the boys did nice 
work The trophy event resulted in five men getting into 
I tie on perfect scores, including their handicaps, and 
after two shoot-offs, with the winner still unknown, it 
was agreed to decide the matter by a toss-up. as it was 
getting dusk, and there seemed no likelihood of a de¬ 
cision being reached in any other way. In the first 
shoot-off, McArdle and Luverne failed to make food 
tbe other three tying on perfect scores. J. B. G- lal ! ela 
to smash enough'in the second trial, and this left Voige 
and Ertel still tied. The latter won the toss, and carried 
off the trophy. McArdle had the honor of making hig l 
score of actual breaks in the match, accounting for , 
Voige was a close second with 43, and Luverne followed 
with 42 Voige did nice work in the J 
fng 47, which® gave him a total score of 90 in the 100. 
Four clubs in this neighborhood, the Hyde Park. Cin¬ 
cinnati Miami, and Northern Kentucky, with a total 
active' shooting membership of at least sixty shooters 
could' inaugurate a series of club team matches that 
would attract attention, and would unquestionably in¬ 
crease the “merest in the sport. If there is not materia) 
enough in these clubs, call on the Harrison, Lebanon, 
Felicity Hillsboro and Williamstown shooters to com 
into the game. The next club trophy shoot will be 
held on April 30, and every one is invited to come ovei 
and have a try. The club’s first mcmey-back tournamen 
of the season will take place on May 7. These shoot, 
were very popular last season, and from the .nqu.r.ei 
which have been received by the secretary concerninj 
them, they promise to be more so this year.
