May 19, Third Day. 
\\ ith a mighty cheer for Field Captain Woody Kelly, 
of the Du Bois Gun Club, in which shooters and spec¬ 
tators alike joined, the twenty-first annual tournament 
of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen’s Association was 
brought to a close this afternoon. Kelly had just won 
the McNichol trophy, symbol of victory in the feature 
handicap event of the entire tournament, and there is 
not the slightest doubt that it was the most popular win 
of the entire tournament. Shooting from the 18yd. "mark, 
he broke the first 25, tying with Martin, who shot from 
the 17yd. line, and Harry Kahler, shooting from the 22yd. 
line. Tn the shoot-off, Kelly shot another perfect score, 
while Martin missed one and Kahler two. Kelly shot 
last, and it was the last event. 
Just previous to this, the amateur championship of 
Pennsylvania for the Du Pont Powder Co.’s magnificent 
trophy was shot off and was won by George E. Painter, 
of Pittsburg, after a hot battle with H. Schlicher, who 
held the championship at the time. Kelsey and Schlicher 
had each broken 437 out of 450 during the entire tour¬ 
nament and were tied for the championship. In the 
shoot-off Schlicher missed his seventh. Painter won 
the event with a straight 25. 
In the third special event of the day, the miss-and-out 
at 5 double targets, Millen, Coleman, Kahler, Howell and 
Heil tied. In the shoot-off, Coleman won. 
The shooting during the day was better than any 
previous time. Hester German again won highest 
laurels by breaking every bird he shot at during the 
day. In the regular targets he broke 150. and in the 
McNichol event he broke them all from the 22yd. line, 
making a total of 175 for the day. These, with an un¬ 
finished run of 35 from Thursday, gave him high run of 
the tournament, 210, which is still unfinished. W. H. 
Heer was second with 148 out of 150, while Hawkins was 
third with 147 and Stevens fourth with 146. Hawkins 
also completed second high run of the tournament by 
breaking enough at the opening to give him 160 straight. 
The work of the amateurs was remarkable. H. W. 
Kahler, with Hugh Millen, of D 11 Bois, and Fred Cole¬ 
man, were tied for the lead with 147 each, while Hickey 
and Worden were second with 146 each. To-day’s 
regular scores and those of the McNichol trophy are 
as follows:

Almost before the last event was finished yesterday 
the visiting shooters had started for their homes, all 
trains in the afternoon and evening carrying large dele¬ 
gations of gunners away from Du Bois. But it will be 
a long time before the gunners forget Du Bois. 
Just before leaving the grounds yesterday, the gun¬ 
ners held a special meeting for the purpose of passing 
the following vote of thanks: 
(< “Du Bois, Pa., May 19. 
“To the people of Du Bois, the members of the Du Bois 
Gun Club, the Du Bois Automobile Club, also the 
Du Bois newspapers, especially the Courier: 
“The Pennsylvania State Sportsmen wish to extend 
their kind appreciation and thanks for the loyal manner 
in which they were entertained. Beyond doubt the 
C9nditions and general welfare for the shooters as pro¬ 
vided by the Du Bois boys were among the best in the 
history of the Sportsmen’s Association.

New York Athletic Club. 
Travers Island, May 21. —Twenty gunners took part 
in the doubles shoot at the Travers Island traps of the 
New York Athletic Club, yesterday. The principal 
event was a race at 100 targets, for a gun offered by a 
sporting goods house. The marksmen allowed to shoot 
were the ones that did the best work at their respective 
traps in double events throughout the season The 
Crescent Athletic Club, the Westchester Country Club, 
the Larchmont Yacht Club, Yale University and the 
New York Athletic Club were the organizations that had 
representatives on the firing line. 
To the surprise of all, the winner was N. L. Herrick, 
of the Westchester Country Club. He had 82 out of a 
possible 100 targets. His individual scores in strings of 
10 pairs each were 18, 17, 18, 14 and 15. Second prize 
ended in a tie between G. D. Dimock, Yale University 
and D. I. Bradley, Westchester Country Club. The Ell 
student won the shoot-off by a single target. In the 
morning there were two other shoots at doubles. One 
was won bv H. M. Brigham, of the Crescent Athletic 
Club, and the other was taken by C. W. Billings of the 
New York Athletic Club. The scores of the principal 
event follow:

Cincinnati Gun Club Tournament. 
Thanks to the hustling of Emil Hammersmith, the 
first of the club’s series of money-back tournaments was 
a success. In the program he drops into poetry and 
says: 
“Welcome you’ll be and welcome to stay, 
Welcome, dear shooters, here any old day.” 
And he backs up his words by being on hand with 3 
cordial handshake and pleasant word to greet the com¬ 
ing guest, and an equally cordial invitation “to come 
again” to the departing shooter. The program con¬ 
sisted of ten 15-target events, entrance $14; first five 
events divided Rose system, 5, 3, 2, 1, and the last five, 
percentage system, 35, 30, 20 and 15 per cent. There 
was also an optional $2 sweep on the entire program, 
divided 60 and 30 per cent., high guns. The club gave 
a handsome trophy to the winner of high average. The 
day was fine, not a breath of wind to interfere with the 
flight of the targets, and the only drawback was a hard 
shower the latter part of the afternoon, and this stopped 
the sport but a few moments, as the shooters were 
anxious to finish, and shot in the wet. The club was 
lucky in getting the old ground manager, John Braun- 
agel, to act as referee and scorer, and he gave perfect 
satisfaction, of course. Most of the shooters knew 
John at the St. Bernard grounds, and were glad to see 
him in his old place again. The office was in charge 
of G. C. Lambert, and he had the work right up to 
date, so that no shooter had to wait for what was 
coming to him. Shooting began at 11 o’clock, and the 
program was finished at about 4:30, a recess being taken 
at noon, so that the shooters might do full justice to the 
excellent dinner served in the club house. Twenty 
shooters took part in all the events, and several others, 
who arrived too late to get in the regular events, kept 
the traps busy until dark. C. G. Westcott and J. A. 
Payne, tied for high amateur average on 137, and shot 
off for the trophy at 15 targets, the former winning by 
one target. Second place honors were divided by 
Sampson and Bruns on 132. Then came G. C. William¬ 
son and C. B. Woodbury with 131 each. C. A. Young 
(Chief Sparrow) was high man for the day with 142, 
R. W. Chamberlain (Roundy) second with 139. J. A. 
Payne carried off long run honors by breaking 56 with¬ 
out a miss, beating Holaday by one target. The money- 
back purse amounted to $44. and the losses, which were 
guaranteed by the club, footed up $35.70, leaving a 
small surplus to be divided as high average money. Ten 
of the amateurs called for relief in sums ranging from 
90 cents to $7.15. After the program was concluded a 
few of the shooters went into an event at 12 pairs of 
doubles. Young was high with 23 breaks, Payne and 
Hammersmith 19 each, Holaday and Chamberlain 18 
each, Schreck 13, Voige l 1 , Irwin 10. 
At the annual meeting of the club on May 12, the fol¬ 
lowing were elected on the board of directors: Dr. R. 
L. Bird, H. S. Connelly, E. Hammersmith, Dr. A. B. 
Heyle, C. Heilman, M. Johnson, J. A. Payne, D. 
Pohlar and E. J. Sampson. The board will meet on 
May 26 and elect officers for the ensuing year. 
The club will hold money-back tournaments on the 
third Sunday of each month during the season, the 
next one to be on June 18.
