FOREST AND STREAM 
[Sept. 17, 1910. 
Long runs were made at the Westy Hogan tournament 
last week as follows: J. R. Graham, 168. J. ?>x. 
Hawkins, 115. C, H. Newcomb 73. F. Coleman, 107. 
C. E. Mink, 105, 67. Linn Worthington, 109. J. D. 
Curtis, 103. V. Williams, 54. T. D. Hackett, 63 
* 
Much regret was felt that Elmer E. Shaner could not 
be present at the Westy Hogan tournament last week, 
owing to the illness of his son, E. Reed Shaner. The 
latter is recovering from an attack of hay fever, though 
still far from well. Mr. Shaner took great interest in 
the Westy Hogan shoot, the beautiful trophy which he 
presented for competition thereat being not the least 
evidence of it.

The Red Hook. X. V., Gun Club has issued the pro¬ 
gram of its annual tournament, to be held on Sept. 14 
and 15. On the first day eight 25-target events, 50c. 
entrance, are provided. Events 5-S constitute a five-man 
team race, $10 to the winning team. The program of 
the second day, four 25-target events, are known as the 
merchandise Handicap event, 15 prizes. Shooting each 
day will commence .at 10 o’clock.

Secretary-Manager Elmer E. Shaner writes us that, 
“The Interstate Association’s tournament committee has 
ruled that those amateurs who, up to Oct. 1 have shot at 
1.200 or more single targets in registered tournaments 
held in 1910, shall be eligible to take part in the Post 
Series tournament at Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. IS to 21, 
inclusive. Under the original conditions amateurs were 
required to shoot at 2,000 or more single targets to qualify 
for the Post Series tournament. The new ruling will 
greatly increase the number of eligible contestants.”

The Westy Hogan tournament, held at Atlantic City, 
X. J., Sept. 8, 9 and 10, was a most gratifying success. 
There was a total of 202 shooters who participated on 
the third day, quite enough to justify its standing as 
being of the greatest tournaments of the year. High 
amateur averages for the three days were: J. Graham, 
Long Lake. Ill.. 4'89 out of 500. F. S. Wright, East Aurora, 
X. 1'., 483; C. II. Newcomb, Philadelphia, 480. Profes¬ 
sionals: L. S. German, 487. J. Mowell Hawkins 486. 
H. H. Stevens, 479. The winners of the long list of val¬ 
uable trophies are given elsewhere in our columns in 
the report of the tournament. 
H 
H. A. Biggs, of Frank Seaman, Incorporated, New 
York, took Edward Banks and A. J. Branch, of Wil¬ 
mington, Del., and the writer, in his high power auto¬ 
mobile from New York to Atlantic City, Friday last, to 
attend the Westy Hogan tournament. The weather was 
delightfully pleasant, and the roads were in prime con¬ 
dition. The party left New York after 9 o’clock A. M., 
and arrived in Atlantic City before 6 P. M. Dinner 
was taken in the beautiful town of Lakewood. Mr. 
Biggs’ guests rode at a speed betimes that they never 
experienced before. Some of the time it was estimated 
that the automobile was going from 70 to 75 miles an 
hour. Sixty miles was common. The squeak of the 
horn would notify a pedestrain, an eighth of a mile or 
thereabouts ahead, that we were coming, and when he 
looked around, he was looking the wrong way. 
Bernard Waters. 
Hyde Park Gun Club. 
Cincinnati, O.—The third annual tri-State tournament 
of the club was held on Sept. 5 and 6 and proved a suc¬ 
cess. The attendance was not up to the expectations of 
the committee in charge. Many local shooters who had 
been depended upon failed to put in an appearance, and 
some of the out-of-town entries also were absent. 
The tournament was registered and given under the 
money-back system, but this last inducement did not 
seem to draw. It is possible the club could have had a 
larger number of shooters if the losses had been re 
funded each day instead of requiring that the entire two 
day’s program should be shot in order to get money 
back. 
A buffet lunch was served each day by the ladies of the 
local M. E. Church, and this feature was appreciated 
by the shooters, the home-cooked food being a decided 
improvement on the stuff usually furnished at a shoot. 
The office was in charge of Mr. B. Call, who is as 
expert in handling the financial end of a tournament as 
he is on the firing line with his gun. All moneys were 
promptly figured, and the winners paid with a few min¬ 
utes of the close of the last event. E. W. Rugg, chair¬ 
man of the tournament committee and his able assistant. 
Dr. r. K. Phillips, are to be congratulated on the 
smooth running of the tournament, and deserved the 
success that they attained. 
First Day. 
The sky was covered with heavy clouds most of the 
day and a strong wind, blowing toward the trap, caused 
the targets to make very erratic flights. The twenty-six 
shooters entered in the various events, and despite the 
wind, some fine scores were made. There was a good 
gallery to applaud the fine work, and they did so liber¬ 
ally. The program consisted of ten 20-target events, 
entrance $2.00 in each, money divided Rose system, 
8, 5, 3. 2. C. A. Young, who has certainly been going 
some since his trip to the Northwest, was high gun with 
195, his score including two runs of 59 and 62. Counting 
a practice event, he had a run of 84. Fred Le Noir 
couldn't quite go the pace set by Young, and finished 
second high professional on 184. E. J. Sampson was 
high amateur and second high for the day with 187; T. 
Parry 181, W. L. Straughan 180. The scores:

Second Day. 
Tuesday was cloudy and not nearly so hot as the first 
day. The wind had shifted a little and blew strong 
across the traps most of the day, having a bad effect on 
the scores generally. While some of the shooters did a 
trifle better than on Monday, others fell down badly. 
Several shooters went home Monday night, but their 
places were more than filled by new-comers, over thirty 
taking part in the sport. The drawing card was the 
contest for the tri-State championship trophy, an elegant 
diamond studded gold watch charm, valued at $75. and 
worth the money. The program was a repetition of the 
first day, the last 100 targets making the trophy event. 
\V. L. Straughan. Waveland, Ind.. the winner, put up a 
good race. In the first 100 he dropped 9, but in the 
trophy race only 3 got away, and he won with 97. E. 
Cain was second in this race with 92; Geo. Kistler 89. 
E. J. Sampson and G. W. Dameron 88 each. 
On the day’s program C. A. Young and Straughan tied 
on 188 for high. Rolla O. Heikes was second high pro¬ 
fessional with 186, F. Le Noir 184, R. Trimble 181. J. A. 
Penn and E. Cain were second high amateurs on 179 
each. G. W. Dameron 178. E. J. Sampson and E. \V. 
Rugg 176 each. 
High average for the tournament was won by Straughan 
with 368; E. J. Sampson second, 363; E. Cain 355; E. W. 
Rugg and T. A. Penn. 350 each. High professional hon¬ 
ors were taken by Young, with 383, F. Le Noir 370, R. 
Trimble 361. 
Shooting began about 10 o'clock, and ran smoothly 
until late in the afternoon, when the breaking of a 
spring caused a short delay. After a new spring had 
been put on the targets were thrown rather more than 
the regulation distance, but as No. 1 squad started 
under these conditions, it was a fair break all around. 
The money-back worked out all right. The purse amount¬ 
ed to $97.60, and the losses on the two days to $71.80 in 
sums ranging from $3.15 to $21.75. Nearly 8,800 targets 
were trapped during the shoot. The scores:

Columbus (O.) Gun Club. 
Sept. 5.—Lon Fisher was high gun at the annual 
corn roast and team shoot held Labor Day, breaking 97' 
out of 100 and 50 straight in the team; also 25 straight 
in the shoot-off. 
The teams were a tie with 525 out of 600, so the five 
best scores on each team shot 25 each to decide the 
winner. Capt. G. Smith’s team won by 3 birds. H. 
E. Smith broke 49 out of 50. Some very nice shooting 
was done. Hulshizer broke 96, Coffman 96, H. E. Smith 
94. Several others were in the 90s. Lieut. K. A. Joyce, 
shooting a new Stevens pump gun, got 91. J. E. Wal¬ 
ters also shot the same kind of a gun and got 87—fine 
work for a new gun the first time. 
There was plenty corn and fish and everybody had 
sufficient. 
Visiting shooters were Hulshizer and Jackson. L T tica; 
Walsmith. Bremen: C. Hedges, J. Hedges, Ward and 
Stevenson, Asheville; Walters and Moeller, Circleville; 
W. Coffman, Dublin. 
We were mighty glad to see you all, and hope to have 
you with us many times again. 
Everybody wondered where Frank Hall was. Frank 
Ford was official scorer. Entire satisfaction was given. 
Dr. Van Fossen was chief corn roaster. 
Capt. Smith broke his first 50 straight, but missed a 
few in the team race. Capt. Shilling was pretty strong 
with 46 in the team race—not his fault his team lost. 
Several from Columbus will attend the Westy Hogan 
shoot at Atlantic City this week.
