Eighteen shooters were on hand April 21, and took 
part in the Clements trophy contest. The weather was 
delightful, and the boys had no trouble in locating the 
targets, until about 5 o’clock, when a high wind sud- 
denly sprang up, and after that the scores suffered. In 
the trophy event Ahlers made high score, 49, Faran 
second with 47, Trimble and Horace 46. Considerable 
practice shooting was done. Faran was high with 172 
out of 200, 86 per cent.; French also broke 172 out or 
220, a little over 78 per cent.; Horace got 149 out of 175, 
85 per cent. Shooting at 12 pairs, Horace broke 20 and 
Gambell 16.

Cincinnati—Dayton—Columbus. 
[he second contest in the series of tri-city team 
matches was shot April 18 on the Cincinnati Gun Club 
grounds, and was won by the home team by 25 targets 
over Dayton, and 48 over Columbus. 
[he day was an ideal one for shooting—not a breath 
of wind to disturb the flight of the targets. In almost 
€very case the men shot up to their usual mark. Forty- 
six shooters took part in the various events, the pro- 
gramme calling for ten 20-target events, $2 entrance 
four moneys; divided 35, 30, 20 and 15 per cent. ‘ 
Nearly two hundred spectators, among them a number 
of ladies, watched the sport with interest. 
The visiting teams arrived about 10:30 and shooting 
began at once, the first five events bei is 
gi SF s s being finished at 
1 o clock, Watkins and Ike, of Dayton, were high with 
96 each. Sunderbruch second with 95, which included a 
straight run of over 80. Ahlers accounted for SB): 
Dinner was served at 11:30, and a hot lunch was on 
the table all the afternoon, with abundance of cigars and 
other refreshments on the side free to every one. 
There was some delay in getting the teams arranged, 
and the first squad did not get to the firing line until 
about 2:25. After once starting, everything went along 
smoothly, and a little before 5 o’clock it was all over 
but the shouting, and each team had faced Gambell’s 
camera and had a picture ‘‘took.” j 
The teams were about the same as lined up at Dayton, 
few changes being made. Columbus put in Chamberlin 
in place of Jennings and J. H. Smith instead of Ward, 
the latter being unable to shoot on account of illness. 
Dayton replaced Schwind with Miller and Oldt with Ike. 
The home team made but one change, Sunderbruch tak- 
ing Faran’s place. 
lhe boys did much better work than in Dayton in 
almost every case. Trimble added 3 to his Dayton 
score, Bonser 10, Edwards (Barker) 10, Bleh 7, Pohlar 
6, Randall 13, Dick 6, Ahlers 19. Maynard fell behind 
2 targets. The race was a close one until the last round. 
In the first round the home team got a lead of 5 targets, 
182 to 177 Dayton cut this down to 4 with a score of 
178 to 177 in the second round. In the third round they 
reduced the Cincy’s’ lead to 3, with 169 to 168. The 
fourth round left the score the same, as both teams 
broke 180. In the last round Dayton went all to pieces, 
breaking only 158 to 180, losing the round by 22 targets, 
and the match by 26 targets. Bonser, of the home team, 
tied with R. Heikes, of Dayton, for high individual 
score on 97; Watkins, of Dayton, second, with 96; Ralph 
Trimble third, 94. 
Messrs. Weinman and G. Hodapp gave good satis- 
faction as referees. Ed. Trimble and Bob Ward scorers. 
In the ten events of the day Watkins was high with 192, 
R. Heikes second, 189. R. Trimble third with 186. 
Arthur Gambell had charge of the shoot, and of course 
things went along smoothly. Shooting was over both 
sets of traps, and even the “hoodoo” No. 2 set could 
not seem to rattle the boys. 
Cincinnati is now only 24 behind Dayton in the total 
for the two shoots, and has a fair chance of winning 
the last match, to be shot at Columbus on May 8. 
Following are the winnings of those who got in the 
money in the frst five events. The office work was done

Some extra events were shot at the conclusion of the 
team race, the sport being kept up until too dark to see 
a target. 
Every one went home well pleased with the day’s sport 
and entertainment, and voted the shoot one of the best 
ever held on the grounds. The scores:

The Greenville Gun Club has put in a new Leggett 
trap, and with the set of experts is prepared to handle a 
big crowd at their tournament in May. They also have

all have plenty of shelter. The grounds are easy of 
access, being only a few minutes’ walk from the hotels.

match. Baker was high with 49, including his handicap 
of 2 added targets, Kirby (5) 48, Huddle (12) 47, McKeon
