FOREST AND STREAM 
[May 2, 1908. 
Columbus Tournament. 
toLi'Mnus, O., April 25.—\V. R. Chamberlain cashiered 
the shoot and shot through himself, making a very 
creditable showing. The only thing that Chamberlain 
u j ar ?y trouble about was Luther Squier sticking his 
head in the door and inquiring whether “the little 
cashier thought it was going to rain about the time he 
was making a few divisions and subtractions. 
John R. laylor finished in a cloud of smoke. The way 
he made the smoke fly caused one of the spectators to 
say that it looked very much like Pittsburg, and we 
assured him that it was not always so, we being located 
quite a ways from the city. 1 he 98^ per cent, for two 
days was undoubtedly the cause of the remark. 
B A. Cooper, of 1 hornville, shot in John’s squad, and 
took particular notice how it was done, and while he" 
did not break them all this time, we look for good work 
at the Ohio State shoot. 
Luther Squier was the same as always, a very busy 
man getting the result of the sheets posted outside, so 
the boys could see how fast it was coming back. Luther 
is very popular with the shooters. He left for the East 
Friday evening, and we all send best wishes. 
Will Fishinger, of Milliard, O., had a great time with 
the long single barrel. He has made up his mind that 
he can t find the little spot quite so well as he did with 
fhe double barrel, and he now has his eve on a great 
old gun that has been known to slay them'right and left. 
* Ben Bolin shot one of the heavy loads, and there must 
have been a wrinkle under the point of contact, with his 
shoulder, as Ben felt a slight rubbing sensation, and 
on examination discovered his shoulder as raw aS a 
beefsteak. 1 his mere trifle, however, did not interfere 
with his shooting through the programme. lie has a 
good nerve. 
Mr- Ledgett, of New London, O., -was here for the 
first day s shooting, and was accompanied by Mr. G. F. 
Smith. Both gentlemen enjoyed the shoot, and left 
V\ ednesday evening. They are coming to the Ohio State 
in June. 
O. N. Ford came through from Shamokin, Pa., to at¬ 
tend the shoot, and left for Chicago as soon as it was 
over. Mr. Ford shot a nice clip all through the pro¬ 
gramme. 
Mr. Anderson, from Cincinati, O., was the only shooter 
here from that part of the country. He had a great time 
with the rocks the first day; the second dav he talked to 
them. Mr. Anderson is well known here, and has a great 
many friends in this section. 
Dr. Parker, from Cleveland, O., showed up in fine 
form, and was very entertaining. The fact of the matter 
is that the Doctor is in good with all the boys around 
here, and lie will be sure to know that he is wanted 
where there is anything going on in this section. 
Dr. Schlitz and Dr. Lothamer, of Canton O were 
completely carried away with the place, and ’it required 
a great deal of hard persuasion to induce them to go 
back home, as they wanted to stay the rest of the 
summer. 
Joe Wells, of Hilliard, is geting into training for the 
btate shoot, and will take a look in on the big mer¬ 
chandise event, the double, 19yds., both barrels, and all 
there is to it. 
The Hedges boys from Asheville, O., shot through the 
first day, but were not able to stay until the tournament 
finished on account of business at home. 
John Hornberger and Riordan, of Bellefontaine, came 
down and spent the first day with us. John managed to 
land two straight 20s, and no telling' what he would 
have done if he had not gone home. 
Air. Lamb, of Thornville, was over, and took a look 
at the targets on Wednesday. 
ot Newark, U., was after them hard with 
the new rrancotte. 
Shatford shot the programme through, and says he 
enjoyed every minute of it, whether he got enough'for a 
mess or not. 
Heniy E. Smith had a fine score on the preliminary 
<lay, but did not keep it up the last two davs. Elarry 
has not been well lately, and it was quite a lot of shoot¬ 
ing for him. 
George \ oik, of Toledo, came and had all the cracks 
faded on the start-off the first day, and if Georgie would 
have kept that gait, they would ha-e all gone to the 
woods. 
W m. \\ ebster, Columbus, was not shooting up to his 
regular gait. William is oiie of our standbys, and we 
hope to see hint have things going different at the State 
shoot A long pull of the grip does not help a man in 
his shooting. 
Capt. Alonzo Fisher, of peaceful Buckeye Lake has 
become quite chesty of late, and no wonder—nothing but 
first high average since the season started. The captain 
is shooting a clip that is hard to equal, and if he keeps 
it up the balance of the season, it will show that he is 
certainly wound up right. 
Frank Hall was with the procession every day, and 
shot through with the greatest assortment of guns that 
anybody ever used in one day. Joe Wells isn't in it with 
Prank for a minute. 
Thomas A. Marshall came through for the spring tour¬ 
nament, and his presence was very much enjoyed bv all 
the boys, and girls, too, as “Sir Thomas” is popular ' and 
thats no mistake. He did not break all the targets 
nor get all the cream pie, as Pop Heikes was looking 
aitei that part of the programme. 
Mr Tryon and Mr. Rodgers, of Cleveland, O., came 
1 uesday afternoon and stayed for the finish. They ap¬ 
peared to enjoy themselves, and are coming again soon 
to have a look over the grounds.

California Trapshooting. 
The second shoot of the California Wing Club at 
Jng.eside, April 5, was pronounced one of the best days 
of live-bird shooting seen on the coast in years. The 
members turned out in large force, and the interior towns 
were well represented. 1 he shooters were well handi- 
capped according to previous scores. C lean scores were 
made by M. O. Feudner, W. E. Green, A. M. Barker 
anil E. L. Schulz. Clarence Nauman, the crack shot at 
live birds, was the only man on the 32yd. mark, and he 
missed but one bird of the dozen. The following are

Walsh—Naumann. 
Two of the best pigeon shots on the coast, Pete Walsh 
and Uarencc Naumann, met in a 50-bird match race at 
Ingleside last Sunday for $100 a side to settle their dif- 
terence of opinion as to the merits of the 12 or 20 gauge 
gun. Neumann shot his 20-gauge gun from the 26vd. 
mark, and Walsh used a 12-gauge gun from 32yds. Both 
these shooters are equally clever at grassing pigeons, and 
the match was even until Walsh missed his last bird. 
«by Walsh off tb * ,lonors grassing 46 birds to 
The birds were not very good ones and Walsh seemed 
to draw more hard birds than his opponent. A great 
many of Naumann’s birds were incomers and favored the 
small gun. However, Naumann did some very clever 
shooting on some of the hard birds, and on several oc¬ 
casions was very effective with his second barrel. Walsh 
by a little poor judgment. lost his second bird, and gave 
his opponent a lead of one bird from the start. Walsh’s 
second bird was hit slightly with the first barrel and lit 
behind the pit with only his head visible. W alsh fool¬ 
ishly shot at the head and missed, thereby losing the 
bird which flew away when the boy went to retrieve it 
, . , shooters then killed straight until the 20th bird, 
which both missed. Walsh drew an incoming bird, and 
hit it hard with both barrels, but it died out of bounds 
Naumann s miss was on a very fast left-quartering bird

trap. He was hard hit with both barrels. This still left 
Naumann one bird ahead. He. however, lost his next

with the first bairel on his 22d bird, which was a 
straightaway, and again was one in the rear. Naumann 
K?^ ev ^> , soon , ev t en £d matters again by losing his 25th 
bird, dead out of bounds. Both shooters then ran 
straight until they came to their 46th bird, when they 
both missed again, leaving the score tied with but four 
more birds to he shot at. Naumann missed bird "clean
