FOREST AND STREAM 
[Sept. 3, 1910. 
Arkansas Stale Sportsmen’s Association. 
Fort Smith. Ark., Aug. 26.—The twentieth annual of 
the Arkansas State Sportsmen’s Association, which closed 
yesterday, Aug. 25, will go down in history as one of the 
most successful ones of this prosperous organization. The 
entry list shows sixty-six names of participants during 
the three days of the shoot.- 
On the first day, Aug. 23, fifty-nine, participated. On 
the second day, fifty-two, and on the last day, forty-seven. 
Thus it will be seen that the entries ran very uniform 
and interest was maintained throughout. 
The weather was clear and bright each day, but was 
excessively hot on the first two days. The last day 
there was a drop in the temperature, but it brought with 
it a high wind that played havoc^jvith the targets and 
was conducive to many horse collars on the score sheet. 
Quite a few of 'the shooters who had been going along 
nicely found this too hard a proposition to master, and 
their scores suffered correspondingly. 
The program on the first day consisted of five 20-target 
sweeps, the individual State championship, 50 targets; 
the two and three man team championships. 25 targets 
each, and the handicap at 50 targets. All of the above 
events were included in the day’s averages with the ex¬ 
ception of the handicap. Thus there were 200 targets on 
the program for those who wished to compete for the 
average prizes. 
The trophy contest was open only to bona fide mem¬ 
bers of the Association, but non-resident shooters shot 
in the events so as to shoot the required number of shots 
on which the average was based. 
The individual championship was won by E. C. Arnold, 
of Pine Bluff, on the excellent score of 49; Geo. W. 
Clements, of Little Rock, was the runner-up with 47. Of 
those not eligible to compete for the trophy, Delaware 
D. Gross duplicated Arnold’s score of 49; W. E. Grubb 
scored 48, and G. A. Schwake 47. 
The two-man team championship was won by Guy 
Chenault and Geo. Clements, of Little Rock, the former 
going straight and the latter dropping one. giving them 
the excellent team score of 49. Pine Bluff team No. 1, 
consisting of Arnold and Wells, with 25 and 23—48, came 
within one of tying this. 
The three-man team race showed Little Rock again to 
the front—G. W. Clement 25. Guy Chenault 24, and Dr. 
T. L. Dibrell 24: total 73. Pine Bluff teams, composed 
'of E. J. Loss, 24. J. E. Well 23, and E. C. Arnold 20, 
total 67, was second. 
The handicap showed some remarkable shooting, and 
for a time it appeared that Dr. J. L. Dibrell, shooting 
from 20yds., would finish straight, as he ran 40 before 
dropping one, and then bunched two, finishing with 48. 
As fine a score as this failed to land him a winner, as 
J. P. Wright, of Camden, also a 20yd. man, scored 49, 
thereby capturing the trophy. 
In the hired men’s class, Homer Clark was high for 
the day with 188; W. E. Grubb second, with 186; D. D. 
Gross, third, 184. 
E. J. Voss, of Pine Bluff, led the Simon-pure class 
with 186; Guy Chenault and J. E. Wells tied for second 
with 184; Dr. Dibrell was third with 183. 
Two lady shooters participated, Mrs. Saxon and “Net¬ 
tie King,” (Mrs. Burrows) the former scored 74, the lat¬ 
ter 67 out of 100. The excessive heat was very trying on 
the ladies. 
The two Hawks boys, aged twelve and fourteen, at¬ 
tracted considerable attention. E. T. Hawks scored 154, 
and J. M. Hawks, Jr., 150. In several of the events 
these boys outshot many of their older competitors. 
The second day’s program consisted of ten 20-target 
events. 200 shots. H. D. Freeman led his class with 
188; Clark, and D. D. Gross with 187 each, were second, 
and W. E. Grubb third with 185. 
G. A. Schwake, of the amateurs, led this class with 
192, which also landed him high over everybody for the 
day. Wells was second with 187. and T. E. Saxon third 
with 1S5. Dr. Dibrell fourth with 183. 
The last day saw Clark once more in the van with 
Freeman, second, 186, and Grubb third, with 185. 
Wells led the amateurs with 18S; Schwake second, 185, 
and Guy Chenault third, with 182. 
General Averages. 
Among the trade representatives, Homer Clark was 
first, 566; W. E. Grubb second, with 556. and H. D. 
Freeman third, with 555; Dell Gross fourth, 544. 
High amateur average was won bv J. E. Wells, of Pine 
Bluff, with 559, beating out G. A. Schwake. who finished 
one behind, with 558. Guy Chenault and Capt. Saxon 
with 546, were third, and Dr. Dibrell with 545. fourth. 
The race befween Wells and Schwake was close up to 
the finish, and the winner was not decided until the 
last event. Up to this Schwake led by one, but Wells 
got a straight and Schwake dropped two, which enabled 
Wells to win the $25 high average money. 
The special $50 prize for the highest squad record of 
squads composed entirely of representatives all from 
one city or county, was won by the Little Rock squad, 
composed of Guy Chenault. 546, Geo. Clements 533, John 
Pemberton 527. Gibson Thibault 512, and Lee Omohun- 
dro 499; total 2617. There was great rivalry between this 
and the Pine Bluff squad, composed of T.>E. Wells 559, 
E. T. Voss 542, E. A. Howell 523, E. C. Arnold 518, and 
P. M. Kilroy 446; total 2586. 
The consolation prize of $5 to the five low guns who 
shot through the entire program went to the following: 
P. M. Kilroy, Pine Bluff, 446; T. W. Rains, Fort Smith, 
468; Tom Younts, 477; J. K. Thibault, 493; Little Rock 
and A. M. Campbell. 495. 
The Little Rock Squad also won the $25 prize for the 
highest squad score in any one event, with 94, made on 
the first day. 
The $25 prize for the squad making a clean score of 
100 straight in.any event remains in the club treasury, 
as none of the squads were equal to the occasion. 
The success of this tournament will do much to revive 
trapshooting in Fort Smith. For several years interest 
in the sport has been dormant, but now that splendid 
grounds have been secured, will be very active here¬ 
after. 
These new grounds are at the baseball park, and it was 
there that the tournament was held. Here two new 
Ideal I.egget traps were installed, and these gave the 
very best of satisfaction. More than 30,000 targets wer* 
trapped during the tournament, including those of pre- 
liminan' day. Monday afternoon. There was some ap¬ 
prehension on the part of certain people as to the ability 
of the Fort Smith sportsmen to rise to the occasion, but 
that this was unwarranted is shown by the above. 
_ All credit is due E. R. Taylor. J. Walter Gillette and 
T. T. Omohundro, who did practically all the work prior 
to and during the shoot. Of these. T. T. Omohundro 
shot through the entire program, and led all in his class 
who reside in the State. 
The annual meeting of the organization was held in the 
banquet hall of the new Goldman hotel, Wednesday 
night, Aug. 24. Little Rock was chosen as the place for 
holding the next annual meeting in 1911, and the follow¬ 
ing officers were elected: President. Geo. W. Clements,

Dominion Tournament. 
Montreal, Can.—The tournament of the Dominion of 
Canada Trapshooting Association was held on Aug. 22-24, 
on the grounds of the Montreal Gun Club, St. Lambert. 
The tournament was most satisfactorily managed by 
Luther J. Squier. The program consisted of ten 20-target 
events, all handicaps. The Squier money-back system 
was used, and won the approval of the contestants. 
Scores did not average high, as a strong wind prevailed 
and made added difficulties to the shooting. 
Six of the seven members of the famous Canadian 
Olympic Shooting' team, which distinguished themselves 
so successfully at the world’s meet in London two years 
ago, were present. 
J. Jennings, of Toronto, made high average on the 
first day, 187 out of 200. and won the Fox gun; second, 
Qeorge Beattie, Hamilton. 186; third, W. H. Ewing, 
Montreal, 184; fourth, A. Westover, of Sutton Junction’ 
183. 
There were sixty-five contestants, of whom eleven were 
professionals. H. H. Stevens was high amateur with 184
