FOREST AND STREAM 
[June 24, 1911. 
New York State Tournament. 
Ten squads of professional and amateur gunners con¬ 
stituted the advance guard of shooters that participated 
in the fiftv-third annual shoot of the New York State 
Sportsman's Association, held in Syracuse on the 13th, 
14th and 15th inst. They shot for two hours at the 
Lakeside range on the 12th in a practice event until 
compelled to give way by the drenching rain. Consid¬ 
ering the poor light and the interruptions of Jupiter 
Pluvius, many good scores were registered. Vanderhoof 
brought down 112, and was high gunner of the afternoon. 
Other high amateurs of the day were Kahler with 111, 
and Lamphere 110. 
The officers and a number of shooters met in the 
assembly hall at the Yates Hotel on the 12th, at 8 P. M., 
and threshed out a number of rules on the program. 
The $300 which were donated to the tournament by the 
Interstate Association, as a part of the Squier money- 
back system, was thrown open to all. 
First Day, June 13. 
M. E. Barker, of Gloversville, proved to be the star 
of the afternoon, shooting through all events, with a 
record of 203 breaks out of 210 targets. George Brown, 
of Seneca Falls, ranked second among the amateurs 
with a score of 201 shot out of 210, and was trailed 
closely by H. Schlicher, of Allentown, Pa., and F. S. 
Wright, of South Wales, who scored 200 each. 1. 
Martin, of Brooklyn, was next, with 197 to his credit, 
while G. N. Fish, of Lyndonville; G. H. Hendrickson, 
of Jamaica; F. G. Wilcox, of Rome, and J. D. Green, of 
Avon, followed with 196. J. H. Lamphere, of Seneca 
Falls; H. W. Walker, of Auburn, and F. B. Stephenson, 
of Brooklyn, made scores of 195. H. S. Welles, of New 
York city, a manufacturers’ agent, was high among the 
professionals with the splendid score of 205 targets. 
Wells’ shooting was a feature of the card. He broke 120 
targets without a miss. Sim Glover broke 145 out of 150, 
tying Welles. 
At the annual meeting of the Association, held last 
evening, Hurlbut W. Smith, of Syracuse, was elected 
President for the ensuing year; J. L. Talcott, of Buffalo, 
Vice-President, and L. H. Schortemeier, of New York 
city, Secretary and Treasurer. 
Most of the evening was devoted to the discussion of 
game laws and new gun clubs. Although the sweep- 
stakes were thrown open to shooters of the world for the 
first time in the history of the State shoot, the attendance 
at the opening day’s events was a dissappointment. Only 
eighty faced the traps. Many amateurs would not come 
to a shoot, it was freely said, if they thought they would 
have to shoot against cracks of the world.. Many ex¬ 
pressed regret that with the ideal conditions at the 
traps, the attendance should have been so low. Scores, 
ten events at 15 targets, and three extra 20-target events:

v.as a $350 piano, donated by the Onondaga Gun Club.

field, of Utica; J. H. Lamphere, and Chas. W. Marvin. 
Pumpelly won on the shoot-off, miss-and-out, with 15 
targets from the 19yd. mark. In the ten regular 15- 
target money events, H. Schlicher, who was third high 
in the opening day shoot, came out in front to-day and 
led the amateurs with 145 out of 150. He made six 
straight strings of 15. A. E. Conley, of Cohocton, and

Third 
Day, 
June 15. 
In the regular events to-day Harry Kahler led the 
entire field with 146 targets out of 150, until, in a later 
squad, F. S. Wright, the State champion, succeeded in 
tying him. George Brown, of Seneca Falls, was second 
with 145, and John Martin third with 144. 
High averages for the entire shoot were as follows, out 
of 450 targets: F. S. Wright 432, H. W. Kahler 431, 
H. H. Schlicher 428, George Brown 426, John Martin 426, 
J. H. Lamphere 421, T. D. Green 420, F. G. Wilcox 419, 
G. N. Fish 418, M. E. Barker 417, E. C. Hilliker 416, 
John Hendrickson 416, E. V. Covert 415, T. E. Clay 415, 
Jerome De Bee 413, F. D. Kelsey 412, O. E. Carpenter 
411, J. L. Talcott 411, A. E. Conley 410, C. G. Blandford 
410, F. B. Stephenson 410, Dr. Guenther 410, C. L. 
Franz 410—all of whom participated in the general 
division of average money. 
Sim Glover was high professional with 432, tying the 
high amateur. H. H. Stevens was second with 430, Neaf 
Apgar and II. S. Welles, of New York, tied for third 
average with 424. 
In the double events the first prize, which was an 
L. C. Smith single-trigger gun, Harry Kahler, using a 
strange gun, broke 43 out of 50 on his first trial, which 
record remains high. G. N. Fish, of Lyndonville, and 
B. V. Covert, of Lockport, tied for second and divided 
second and third prizes. 
The efficient manner in which the tournament was con¬ 
ducted, the speed with which the events were run off 
and the courtesy of the tournament officers call for noth¬ 
ing but praise from those who shot through. The 
grounds were the best on which the State shoot has ever 
been held. The targets were thrown over Onondaga 
Lake, against a sky background, which accounts for the 
high class of scores made, in spite of the strong wind 
that prevailed during the shoot. Third day’s scores at 
ten events of 15 targets each:

Soo Gun Club Tournament. 
Interest in trapshooting in Iowa is evidenced by the 
large attendance at the shoot of the Sob Gun Club, 
held at Soo City, Iowa on June 6, 7 and 8. Seventy-six 
guns faced the traps and the scores indicate a very 
high average of breaks. 
The Interstate cup was won by C. A. Thurston, of 
Onawa, la., with 38 straight.
