FOREST AND STREAM 
[Oct. 8, 1910. 
Cincinnati (0.) Gun Club. 
The annual handicap target tournament was held on 
Sept. 27 and 28 at the club grounds in Latonia, just 
across the river from Cincinnati. 
The affair was a success, in that it afforded a couple 
of days’ sport to those who were present, but the tourna¬ 
ment committee, Messrs. John A. Payne, Dan Pohlar, 
A. B. Heyl, R. IT. West. Jr., and C. W. Riley, Jr., had 
the right to expect a much better local support than 
they received. 
The tournament was- given under the Jack Rabbit 
system, which does not appeal to the expert amateur, 
and’ it was adopted by the committee for this very 
reason, as an inducement to attract the average shot, who 
would get paid for all he broke. The guaranteed average 
money was enough to be worth the while of our local 
experts, but they were conspicuous by their absence. 
The weather was good on both days, barring the wind 
of Tuesday. All details of the shoot were carefully 
arranged, two sets of traps being in perfect working 
order, to be used if necessary. L. S. Landers acted as 
referee, and C. W. McFee, Jr., as scorer, both giving 
good satisfaction. In the office George Lambert was in 
charge; in fact, he did all the work, and did it promptly 
and accurately. An excellent buffet lunch was served 
each day by Mrs. McFee, and the boys appreciated the 
good things placed before them. 
First Day. 
Tuesday, Sept. 27, looked pretty threatening in the 
morning, and a heavy rain just at daylight was probably 
the cause of many staying away. In the afternoon it 
cleared up, and was very warm. A strong wind, blow¬ 
ing across the traps, affected the flight of the targets, 
and the smoke bothered the shooters very much, as it 
drifted into their eyes. Only twenty-three shooters en- 
tred for the day, most of them going through. This was 
a big disappointment to the management, who had good 
cause to expect at least fifty, and had made preparations 
accordingly. The programme consisted of ten 20-target 
events, entrance $2.40 in each. Jack Rabbit system, and 
surplus divided 30, 25, 25 and 20 per cent. A special 
event at 50 targets; two at 15 and one at 20 targets, was 
also scheduled. $2 entrance, prize a Stevens repeating 
shotgun, trade grade, handicaps 16 to 21yds. In the 
first 100 targets. Dr. Shattuck led the amateurs with 94, 
E. Cain and L. Ahlers second with 93 each. W. Hen¬ 
derson was high professional with 95, \V. M. Shaul get¬ 
ting 94'. In the last 100 J. M. Barr broke 98. Long Run 
of 71 was made by Henderson; J. M. Barr 54. and 
J. G. Francis 46. W. M. Shaul ended the day with a 
run of 73. made in the regular events. 
Squad No. 2, Cain, Shaul. Henderson, Barr and Lon 
Fisher, in event No. 10, made the squad record of the 
dav. 99 out of 100, all going straight but Fisher. 
Squad No. 4', were all of the “old guard”: Medico 20, 
Sampson 19. Ahlers 19, Randall 20, Schreck 20, total 98, 
in the seventh event. 
It was late when the handicapping committee, Arthur 
Gambel, Medico, C. W. McFee and Dr. Bird, finished 
their labors, and the special event started so late that it 
was unfinished at dark, and was postponed. When 
shooting stopped J. G. Francis was high amateur with 
45, with Dr. Shattuck, Randall and McFee still to finish 
and all having a chance to win. Henderson was high 
professiona 1 for the day with 192, R. Trimble 188, J. M. 
Barr 187. High amateur, E. Cain, 188, Dr. Shattuck 187, 
L. A'hlers 186. The scores:

Second Day. 
The weather was perfect but owing to the handicap 
used in the afternoon the total scores were smaller than 
on Tuesday. The program called for four events at 15 
and two at 20 targets in the morning, entrance $1.80 and 
$2.40 in each respectively. Same division of money as 
on the first day. 
The Grand Cincinnati Handicap at 100 targets, was 
shot in the afternoon, entrance $12, two moneys for 
every ten entries, high guns and Jack Rabbit system. 
Two sets of traps were used to-day, and the program 
was finished in good season. The special event, unfin¬ 
ished on Tuesday, was shot over, with a decreased num¬ 
ber of entries, twenty men starting. Tire result was a 
tie between Dr. Win. Shattuck, of Coal Grove, Ohio, and 
H. Anderson, of Cincinnati, on 47. In the shoot-off An¬ 
derson dropped 2 targets in his first 5, while Shattuck 
missed his 23d target and won, 24 to 23. Ed. Cain made 
a run of 96, including the last 41 targets of Tuesday. 
J. M. Barr made the long run of the day’s program, 58. 
The handicap event was won by Dr. Shattuck, on a 
score of 92. H. Anderson second with 89; E. J. Samp¬ 
son 87. Payne and F. A. Pope 82 each. The high scores 
in this event were made by professionals J. M. Barr, 97, 
and H. M. Shaul and W. Henderson, 94 each. W. Hen¬ 
derson was high professional on 189. H. M. Shaul 187, 
J. M. Barr 184. High amateurs: Wm. Shattuck 188, E. J. 
Sampson 176, E. Cain 171, J. Payne 169, F. C. Kingsbury, 
D. Pohlar and H. Anderson 168 each. First high average 
money was won by Dr. Shattuck on 375, E. Cain 359, 
E. J. Sampson 352. High professional average went to 
W. Henderson on 381, H. M. Shaul 380, J. M. Barr 371. 
The handicap shoot was figured in the average. The high 
average purse was made up of 1 cent for each target 
thrown in the regular events, and was divided among 
the five high averages, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points, and $5 for 
each of the five low guns. The club guaranteed not less 
than $100 for this purse. The scores:

Columbus (O.) Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Oct. 1.—John Penn broke the most 
targets at the club to-day, missing only 1 out of 65 shot 
at. He broke 49 out of 50 on the Ballistite trophy, but 
couldn’t win. Kingsbury, having extra targets to shoot 
at, won. He broke 48, which with his 5 extra targets to 
shoot at, made 50, thereby winning a point. Webster 
won a point on the secretary’s trophv by breaking 46 out 
of 50 from the 22yd. mark. H. E. Smith, shooting from 
the same mark, broke 42 — a very fine performance from 
such a big handicap. 
Seemed like old times when you see L T rlin, Wilcox, 
Le Noir and others shooting again. All shooters are 
welcome to shoot, whether a member or not. Then we 
have a couple of nice trophies to shoot for. When these 
are shot off we still have more to put up. 
Fall shoot will be held Oct. 27-28, with a distance han¬ 
dicap 16 to 20vds. on the money-back plan. All you can 
lose is the price of targets, with the same chance to win.
