FOREST AND STREAM 
[May 27, 1911. 
Pennsylvania State Tournament. 
Dubois, Pa., May 20. —The Pennsylvania State tourna¬ 
ment was shot here on the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th on the 
Beaver Meadow grounds, under the auspices of the 
Du llois Gun Club. 
May 16, Practice Day. 
Over sixty shooters—a remarkably large number for 
the practice day—participated in the ten events run off. 
Those in charge of the meet fully expect between 125 
and 150 to be here for the real activities. Another favor¬ 
able indication was the unusualily high scores made to¬ 
day, much of which can be credited to the Beaver 
Meadow grounds and its environs, chiefly its skyline. 
Visiting gunners, many of whom were here for the first 
time, were pleasingly surprised when they got a glimpse 
of the shooting grounds, to see the ideal skyline and 
other conditions that prevail, and they predicted unusual 
scores. The prophesy was fulfilled on the opening day. 
Among those present were eleven professionals, in¬ 
cluding some of the best shooters of the country, and 
all were in good shooting form. But the work of some 
of the amateurs was the real sensation of the day, and 
no less a personage than Frank Guinzburg, of the 
Du Bois Gun Club, led the amateurs, being only two 
birds behind World’s Champion Heer, and second in 
the entire list. Mr. Guinzburg broke 146 out of 150 
shot at, and made a straight run of 115, one that is a 
record for the traps. Mr. Guinzburg will receive a 
medal valued at $100 from the Du Pont Powder Co. for 
making a run of over 100. 
Dr. Quinn, of the Du Bois Gun Club, was fourth 
high in the amateurs with 142. 
True to his title, Champion Heer was the peer of the 
shooters, and broke 140 out of his 150, getting a straight 
run of 123. Jim Elliott and Lester German, popular 
professionals, were among the leaders with 146 each. 
The scores were as follows:

The shooters of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen’s 
Association—eighty-five of ’em—got down to real busi¬ 
ness at their annual State tournament to-day and went 
through a big’ day of regular events and two special 
events with State championships at stake thrown in. 
^High amateurs in the regular events go to Schlicher, 
Kahler, Calhoun and Painter. They were tied at 148. 
Second on the list were Frank Guinzburg and Hugh 
Millen, of Du Bois, tied at 145. L. S. German and 
Wm. H. Heer were high professionals with 147 each. 
The two-man team race was won by Highland, Phila¬ 
delphia, while Du Bois No. 1 was second, and the in¬ 
dividual championship at 25 doubles went to A. Heil, 
of Allentown, after a tie with Painter, of Pittsburg. 
The number of gunners, while not quite as large as 
was expected, is a little larger than usual at the State 
tournaments. And appropriately enough, the scores 
to-day were a little better than the average of the State 
shoots. 
The real big event of the day, and the last to be de¬ 
cided, was the two-man team championship at 25 singles 
and 5 doubles, for which the Milt Lindsey trophy, a fine 
silver cup, was the prize. It was won by Highland No. 1 
(Wolstencroft and Kahler) with 66. 
T» the general events, the running was very exciting, 
and it was only by the most magnificent finishes that 
the four amateurs were able to keep ahead of the pro¬ 
fessionals. Calhoun and Painter each shot nine events 
without a miss, and fell down twice in the tenth. Ger¬ 
man and Heer had chances to tie the leaders, but fell 
down in the ninth event and fell one short of the first 
place. The shooting of Guinzburg and Millen was con¬ 
sistently good, and but for a little badness at the end 
they would have come close to passing the leaders. 
Guinzburg missed three birds in the last three events, 
and Millen dropped two in the last two events. 
High run for the day was made by J. Mowell Hawkins, 
who reeled off 106 without a miss. Jim Elliott finished 
out a run from Tuesday that totaled 111 without a miss.

M»y 18, Second Day. 
Contests for three special valuable trophies were run 
off to-day, in addition to the ten regular 15-target events 
apd interest and enthusiasm ran high during it all. 
The first of these was the three-man team race at 25 
targets each for the Harrisburg trophy. The event 
brought out eight teams, of which the Highland team 
of Philadelphia, winners of the Milt Lindsey trophy on 
the first day, won out after a very close contest. The 
Philadelphia team, composed of Wolstencroft, Kahler 
and Cantrell, scored 71 out of 75. The second was a 25- 
target event for four-man teams for the Reading trophy. 
It was won by the Pittsburg squad, after tying with the 
crack Highland team at 91 out of a possible 100. The 
third of the big events was an individual event, the 50 
targets of the first two contests being combined with a 
handicap. Seventy-five shooters took part in this con¬ 
test and the first round found ten tied with perfect 
scores, their handicaps included. The handicaps were 
split for the shoot-off, and Bennett, Stout, Speer, Ver¬ 
non and Keenan made good again. In the final shoot- 
off, Speer with a handicap of 2, broke 21; Keenan with 
5, got 19, and Vernon with 4, broke 22, giving him a 
perfect score and the trophy, a fine double-barreled shot¬ 
gun. 
In the run of regular targets Lester German was the 
big star with 149 out of 150, the best totals for the tour¬ 
nament to date. In 200 targets he got 198. Heer and 
Hawkins were second high professionals, tied at 146. 
S. B. Worden, J. F. Calhoun led the amateurs with 146 
each. The summaries are appended:
