THE PATRIOTIC SPORT 
OF AMERICA 
(continued from page 465) 
The result is history, but at this par¬ 
ticular time some of the details are worth 
reading. 
Those who defended America against 
the best of Britons without lowering the 
colors were: Tom Marshall, of Chicago, 
Ill.; Fred Gilbert, Spirit Lake, la.; 
Charles Budd, Des Moines, la.; William 
R. Crosby, O’Fallon, Ill.; Rollo Heikes, 
Dayton, O.; John Fanning, New York; 
J. A. R. Elliott, Kansas City, Mo.; Dick 
Merrill, Milwaukee, Wis.; Frank Parme- 
lee, Omaha, Neb.; Ernest Tripp, Indian¬ 
apolis, Ind., and Edward Banks, of Wil¬ 
mington, Del. 
Ten men comprised each team, each 
man to shoot at ioo targets, 18 yards 
rise, unknown angles. The matches took 
place over the Middlesex Gun Club traps, 
near London. The series was the best 
three in five matches for $10,000 a side. 
The British were allowed the use of both 
barrrels, the Americans being restricted 
to one. 
Marshall, leading off for America, drew 
a screaming left angle and snuffed the 
clay, giving a hint of what was coming 
from that gang of fast pointing, hard 
shooting invaders. And come it did, so 
speedy and true that the Yankees won 
the first match by a margin of 63 kills. 
The same race was such an easiness— 
Uncle Sam’s men 81 to the good. 
But the third and last foray of this 
fruit gathering expedition was “petty” 
larceny, pure and simple. Honestly, it 
was a crime. The J. Bulls never had a 
look-in—they couldn’t even get started 
to peek, so fast was the pace—and the 
final try, the mix that meant “Come to 
me, mazuma,” showed the childers of 
Sammy IT by 93 majority. Of course, 
there was heap much happy gladhand 
stuff at the finish, for the Brits were 
game losers. In fact, they figured the 
match had been lost to their own people, 
after all, so why grouch or feel sad? 
By this time the tight little isles were 
hep that your Uncle’s chosen band was 
a tough outfit, but the canny Scots were 
from Mizzou, so the team trekked to 
Glasgow and performed the pleasing 
operation of separating the Highlanders 
from a wad. It was easy, for the burr-r-r 
boys refused any handicap, but the foxy 
Scotch put up only 500 washers. 
Then came an individual race between 
a Kilty named Faulds and “T. Bill” 
Crosby, who hails from the State that 
owns Auroaria, Peoaria and Chicawga. 
This affair was a little surprise party to 
“T. Willie.” The match was at 200 birds 
each, 100 being thrown from a tower, and 
“T. Bill” was hep to that elevated game 
about as much as a jay-bird is to Del- 
sarte. But the Illinois trapshark made 
good and gathered the coin. 
Paul North was so tickled over the 
way the British donated that he piloted 
the boys to London and gave them a big 
blowout at Hotel Cecil. This eats was 
full brother to another at the Royal Cafe, 
given by the Englishmen. Then one day 
the Americans hired a couple of vans to 
haul their money in, rambled down to the 
ocean, bought a ship and came home.
