their handicap of 5 targets giving them a perfect score. 
They were tied by the Cincinnati Gun Club team, which 
also had a handicap of 5, giving them a perfect score. 
In the shoot-off the former team again scored 50 with 
their handicap to the latter’s 49. At Circleville, June 5, 
1901, Alkire and Rhoades won the fourteenth contest with 
a score of 49. The fifteenth contest was held at Cleveland 
on June 4, 1902, and was won by Heikes and Rike, each 
breaking 24, a total of 48. The sixteenth contest was 
held at Cincinnati, June 10, 1903, and was won by 
Rhoades and Young with a score of 47. At Akron, June 
15, 1904, the seventeenth contest was won by Galt’ and 
Kreider; score 49. _The eighteenth contest was held at 
Canton, June 14, 1905, and was won by the Newark team 
with a score of 49. At Dayton, June 14, 1900, the Dayton 
team tied the Newark team on 4S. The former team 
won the shoot-off, with 46 to 39. The twentieth contest 
took place at the I.eague tournament held at Columbus, 
June 4 to 6, 1907, thirty-seven teams being entered, and 
was won by Geo. \ oik and F. Foltz on a score of 47. 
The winners received a silver loving cup as a memento 
of their win. In this contest C. A. Young (25) and 
L. H. Reid (24) with 49 were high team, but it was de¬ 
cided that they were not eligible for the trophy. The 
twenty-first contest was held at Columbus during the 
League tournament, June 2 to 5, 1908, twenty-two teams 
being entered. The Toledo team was again the winner 
with a score of 48. The Portsmouth team came second 
with a score of 47. The League tournament was again 
held at Columbus, in 1909, and twenty-four teams entered 
the twenty-second contest for the trophy. The result 
was a tie on 50 straight between the Toledo team (win¬ 
ner of the two previous contests) and a team composed 
of R. O. and H. Heikes. In the shoot-off the latter 
team won, with a score of 49 to the former’s 48. The 
twenty-fourth annual tournament was held at Cleveland, 
June 1 to 3, under the auspices of the Cleveland Gun 
Club. The interest was not so great as in previous 
years, only eighteen teams entering on June 2. The 
Toledo team tied with the Pomeroy team on 48, each of 
the four men scoring 24. The latter team was given the 
trophy, as the Toledo team failed to shoot off the tie.

The annual meeting of the League was held at the 
Northern Hotel, at 8 P. M. It was the best attended 
and most enthusiastic meeting that has been held for 
years, and things were done. The roll call showed the 
following clubs represented: Dublin, Pomery, Washing- 
CONTESTARTS AT THE OHIO STATE SHOOTl 
ton, Ideal, Utica, Lorain, Mechanicsburg, London, 
Portsmouth, Greene County, N. C. R., Dayton; Wilmot, 
Cincinnati, Yellow Oak Meadow, Salem, Cleveland, 
Celina, W. Toledo, Gabon, Springfield—twenty-seven 
in all. 
President Smith presided at the meeting, and Secre¬ 
tary Kingsbury was also present. After the opening 
business of the meeting, the secretary read a new con¬ 
stitution, prepared by a committee, and a motion to 
accept the same was carried. 
A motion by F. M. Edwards to make the champion¬ 
ship event 100 targets, was carried. 
Requests for the 1912 tournament were made by the 
Columbus Gun Club, Cincinnati Gun Club, N. C. R. 
Gun Club, Dayton, and the Cleveland Gun Club. One 
objection to the Cincinnati Gun Club was that the 
grounds were in Kentucky. A ballot was taken and 
Dayton was selected for the tournament next year. 
The election of officers resulted as follows: R. R. 
Dickey, Dayton, President; E. Cain, Vice-President, 
Dayton; J. M. Markham, Dayton, Secretary-Treasurer; 
Executive Committee, J. H. Smith, Columbus; E. S. 
Rogers, Cleveland; J. J. Anderson, Lima; Geo. Volk, 
Toledo; F. M. Edwards, Portsmouth. 
Third Day, June 9. 
Friday was another pleasant day, but warmer, and 
with not a particle of wind to temper the heat. There 
was a slight haze in the air which made rather a trying 
light at times. The scores compare favorably with those 
ot the day before. Rolla O. Heikes was the star per¬ 
former to-day. He broke his first 137 without a miss, 
giving him the long run record for any day of the shoot, 
and, with his last 43 of Thursday, a continuous run of 
ISO, entitling him to a Du Pont professional long run 
trophy, and the longest continuous run made during 
the week. 
The program was started at 9:30 promptly, the ten 
regular events being finished soon after noon. No stop 
was made for dinner, but the championship event was 
started at once, and the last squad sheet was brought 
into the office before 4 o’clock. L. J. Squier was in 
charge of the cashier’s sheet to-day, which accounts for 
the promptness with which the moneys were figured, 
and the winners paid. Long before 5 o’clock the grounds 
were practically deserted, and the 25th annual was a 
part of history. 
In the championship event five shooters tied on 48 
and a shoot-off was necessary. This was at 25 targets. 
Yalk was the first to miss, Iris 6th target getting away. 
Edwards was the next to miss, failing to hit his 10th and 
22d targets. Burns lost his 12 and 13th, leaving Doo¬ 
little and Kistler still in the fight. They kept together 
until the 21st target, which Doolittle missed. Kistler 
went out with a straight score and won. Yalk and 
Doolittle 24 each. The winner, G. Kistler, of Celina, 
was warmly congratulated on his display of skill. 
The money-back purse amounted to $772.25. This sum 
consisted of the $300 added by the Interstate Association; 
$301.45 for the targets trapped; $170.80 from the extra 
entrances and 10 cents per event from those who did 
not shoot in all events on the three days. The total 
losses were $303.20 in sums ranging from 15 cents to 
$25.15. The surplus, $469.05, was divided among the thirty 
high guns. Once more the money-back has proved a 
good system for expert as well as poor amateur shots. 
It has come to stay, without question. 
E. M. Stout, of Circleville, O., won a Du Pont ama¬ 
teur long run trophy with a continuous run of 106. He 
got the first 98 this morning, and had the last 8 of 
Thursday. He felt pretty good over his record, as it 
was the first time he ever broke 100 straight; 89 was his 
best previous work. 
Squad No. 2, Heikes, Coburn, Edwards, Cain and \V. 
Shattuck, carried off squad honors with a score of 148 
out of 150, made in events 5 and 6. 
The number of shooters fell off a little to-day, sixty- 
five men facing the traps during the day. Of these sev¬ 
eral came late for the purpose of shooting in the cham¬ 
pionship event. 
High amateur honors went to E. M. Stout with 147. 
He was in the class with Heikes and Taylor, who tied 
for high professional score. C. G. Wescott was second 
with 145, and J. A. Flick came third with 144. 
For the three days, Henderson was high professional, 
Taylor and Heikes following in order. C. G. Wescott 
was high amateur with 432. W. Webster got in second 
on 427. F. M. Edwards next with 419, and J. A. Flick 
following with 413. After the tie was shot off, the 
trophy winners were called in front of the club house 
and President J. H. Smith presented them with the 
trophies. His remarks were short, and to the point, 
congratulating the winners on their display of skill, and 
wishing them continued success. 
Manager Fisher and the club officers are entitled to 
credit for the excellent manner in which the shoot was 
conducted in every detail. Mr. Fisher has worked hard 
and may feel assured that his efforts to make things 
pleasant for the visitors were appreciated.
