It is Said 
Less German wins a victory with greater ease and 
stands defeat better than any of the shooters. But he is 
so seldom defeated, why shouldn’t he? 
Hood Waters is doing splendid work with his Smith 
gun, and the other boys better look to their laurels when 
this year’s average is counted. 
Emory Storr has had his heart insured against Cupid’s 
darts,- since going to Charlotte to live. He knows the 
een of the soft-voiced, bright-eyed, dimpled Southern 
girls. 
Hawkins had more than fifty invitations to Christmas 
Day shoots, but ‘‘turned them down,” believing all men 
should dine at home once a year. 
If J. H. Moxley continues to improve in his shooting 
as he has during the past three months, the B. S. A. wilt 
have only one Class A man this season. What will you 
do with all the prizes, Moxley? 
J. W. Chew, secretary of the Baltimore Shooting As- 
sociation, will be a millionaire if he wins his suit against 
the United States Express Company for a broken gun 
stock. It was Chew’s pet and pride, a high-priced 
beauty, and can’t be replaced. 
Harry Ducker is called “the emergency man.”’ - When- 
ever a train is in a “tight place’’ he is the ‘‘man behind 
the gun” to be relied on. 
Captain Malone’s white fliers this year have been thor- 
oughbreds, and their speed can only be equaled by shoot- 
ing stars. 
Dr. Lupus is one of the best amateur photographers 
in Baltimore. Perhaps he stays home to develop while 
the midwinter shoots are in progress. 
Ed. Bowen, whose business is to contribute the sweets 
of life, didn’t find much sugar-coating to the days he 
was laid up with a broken rib. 
Charles France is always willing to help make a good 
score, and doesn’t mind a railroad journey if a shoot is 
at the other end of the line. 
T. Haze Keller thought it would be less expensive 
doing the “‘society act” in Baltimore than in New York. 
Just wait, young man, you haven’t been _here_ long 
ensugh to buy more than one 5lb. box of Huyler’s and 
two bunches of violets a day. 
Ed. Banks has a wonderful charm for the fair sex, 
and with his bright smile and keen wit makes friends 
wherever he goes. 
Jim Skelly is one of the most popular managers in the 
powder business. His earnestness of purpose and loyalty 
to his friends make him “‘yours to count on.” 
Luther Squier has wonderful executive ability, and 
when it comes to arranging tri-State team shoots, he 1s 
the “best ever.” 
Billy Foord is never too busy with his gun to-be posted 
on current topics, and reads all the up-to-date fiction. 
Jim Elliott’s hospitality is frequently enjoyed by sad 
hearts away from home, and there’s no kinder or better 
host in all the world than Jim. 
Tom Marshall will be obliged to have a parlor shot- 
gun made, to keep some Chicago youth from stealing his 
pretty and accomplished daughter. 
Walter Huff is giving the maids and matrons in the 
wilds of Texas a few disquieting moments. ‘It is ex- 
cellent to have a lion’s strength,” etc. 
Jack Fanning’s keen observation has given him the 
reputation of being the best posted man on travels in 
the profession. He has been to all remote corners of 
the globe. 
George Medinger, one of Baltimore’s best shots, has 
decided to leave his very profitable business and help 
our boys to win the State team race in Wilmington, 
Del., Feb. 1. This shows Medinger’s heart is in the 
right place. 
Louis Mordecai’s mail has been so voluminous since 
his fine shooting in Perryman, it is necessary to employ 
a stenographer to decline the many invitations he re- 
ceives to shoot on teams. 
Walters Harvey made a fine score at the Baltimore 
Shooting Association Jan. 20. He beat all the profes- 
sionals but one, and that is something to be proud or. 
Gilbert can attend more banquets (in Penn.) and kill 
more birds of great speed and tenacity of life than any 
shooter in America. 
Mr. and Mrs. J. Mowell Hawkins spent Thursday and 
Friday in Wilmington, the guests of Mr, and Mrs. Wm. 
M. Foord, $09 Tatnall street. 
A Socrat TRAMP. 
B. S. A. Shoot. 
“Rain, rain, go away, 
Come again another day.’ 
Just once I would like 
To write up a shoot and say, 
The weather was beautiful, 
And not dark and gray. 
’ 
BaLtimorE, Md.—If there are clear skies all week, 
when Saturday, the day of the B. S. A. shoot, arrives, 
the weather invariably does stunts. Jan. 27 was not an 
excepticn. A fine drizzle lasted all the afternoon, and 
prevented the usual number of shooters from going to 
the club. The white fliers seemed to understand the 
elements were against them, so putting on a bold front, 
with a flip and shake, they darted from the traps, skim- 
ming low to the ground, and off like a breeze in all 
directions, and with their speed and tenacity of life, some 
were lucky enough to escape, while many fell by the 
roadside, just beyond the boundary, to the disgust of a 
few ambitious shooters, whdé were anxious to make a good 
score, and put a few dollars in their “inside pockets.” 
Much interest -~was taken in the first event, a 5-bird 
team race, Capt. Malone and his son against Hood 
Waters and O. R. M. Captain Malone killed 5 birds, 
Clarence 4. Hood Waters 5, but A. R. M. was off in 
his shooting and let his last 3 white fliers escape. Con- 
sequently Malone’s team won. After A, R. M.’s first 
defeat, he braced up and did excellent work the rest of 
the afternoon, 
The next events were $1 miss-and-outs. In the first 
C. Malone and A. R. M. divided the money. In the 
second C, Malone and Moxley. The scores:

The 10-bird club race was the most interesting event of 
the afternoon. Sixteen shooters participated. Hood 
Waters was high gun in Class A with a straight of 10. 
J. Mowell Hawkins was next with 8. In Class B Howard 
and Gent tied with 9. 
The chief topic of conversation among the shooters at 
present is the State team race at Wilmington, Del., 
Feb. 1. Our men realize they have some crackerjack 
shooters to beat, and I fear it will take professionals to 

do it. The scores: .
