WESTERN TRAP. 
At San Jose. 
San Jose, Ill., May 1.—May was opened at this town 
with a shooting tournament. The town is small, but the 
club members are energetic, and there was a fair turnout 
and all went well. The grounds and club house are very 
good. There was a strong wind that made high and low 
targets, as the angles were changed. 
John Boa was the only professional shooter present, 
and besides high score, he kept all interested with his 
rifle shooting. W. Tramp Irwin was present, and handled 
the office work, while Ward Barton assisted in the out- 
side work. 
Scott, Craig and Todd came from Jacksonville, while 
J. C. Ramsey brought from Manitou the Harbaugh 
brothers and Messrs. Vogel, Groffis, Gleason and Singley. 
Farmers are behind in the spring season’s work, and 
this was the excuse for many of the shooters being 
absent. 
Dad Gilbert was present and had plenty of good, jovial 
fun, same as he always does when out with the boys. 
‘the manufacturers were kind to the club, and the pro- 
gramme was well patronized. 
Twenty-five dollars was given to the high men, which 
was won by Ed. Scott, 185; Craig broke 184, Bockwitz 
176, and Ramsey 176. The Harbaugh brothers tied on

Fox Lake Shooting Tournament. 
Fox Lake, Ill.—Fox Lake has been familiar to the read- 
ers of the sporting press, mainly because the Dunnell 
brothers, famous as crack shotgun artists, run a hotel 
and fishing and hunting resort at this point. 
All the Chicago boys, who were not elsewhere engaged 
came up for a little fresh air and recreation. There were 
George Roll, Lem Willard, John Boa, W. H. Vietmeyer, 
L. W. Barkley, Jesse Young, W. Stannard, A. Gohl, 
Mr. Kinney, Mr. Hanagan, Joe Barto, Chas. W. Budd. 
There were three Dunnells and three Grahams shooting, 
and that same J. R. won the two days’ average in his 
old-time form, as he has recovered from that sunstroke. 
The wonder is that Barkley shot so well, as his score 
of 385 out of 400 is very excellent, considering the short 
time he has been shooting. 
The Dunnells were assisted by the veteran Tramp 
Irwin in the management, and the programme was fin- 
ished in time for the enthusiasts to go fishing, although 
a heavy thunder shower sent them to cover. The scores:

Cincinnati, O., Gun Club. 
. May 5 was a fair shooting day, cloudy, with perhaps a 
fittle too much wind, but not too hot for comfort, an im- 
provement over the previous day, Very few shooters were 
present, and the sport was all over by 4:30. E. Cain, a 
welcome visitor from Dayton, was high in the Clements 
trophy event with 49, Bleh was close up with 47, and 
Pohlar got 45. 
Shooting at doubles, Bleh broke 21 out of 20 pairs, 
and Bullerdick 15 out of 15 pairs. The DuPont Powder 
Co. has donated a handsome silver loving cup, to be- 
come the property of the winner of the club champion- 
ship shoot on May 30. Twelve men shot in the practice 
events, but did not do very much. A crowd is expected on 
May 6, when plans for the trip to Columbus will be 
made. The team’s total as figured in advance is 945 out 
of 1,000 targets, and it is up to the boys not to fall much 
below that. Ralph Trimble has just returned from a 
ten days’ trip in West Virginia and Virginia, and during 
that time shot an average of 94 to 95 per cent. 
Springfield Tournament. 
The annual tournament of the Springfield, O., Gun’ 
Club was held on May 8 and 4. The weather was good, 
but the attendance was not what had been expected. 
The programme consisted of ten 20-target events on 
each day, with $2 entrance, money divided 40, 30, 20 and 
10 per cent. Four high guns, $15, $10, $5 and $5. Two 
low guns, $5 each. Sliding handicap, all starting at 
l6yds. Open to all amateurs. Quite a number of the 
Dayton shooters arrived in time to enter in the sixth 
event. Young was high gun for the day with 187. Hunt 
secured 18). McConnell and Tryon 177 each. Hunt was 
in the money often enough to get $19.16, McConnell 
$17.31, Ike $16.38, Smith $16.20, Tryon $16.12, Poole $15.56, 
Henderson $12.64, Carr $12.44, Moore $12.18, Jack $10.53, 
Anderson $6.11, Snyder $4.92. 
The attendance on the second day was about the same, 
new shooters taking the places of those leaving the day 
before. Rolla Heikes, R. Trimble, Le Compte 
and J. R. Taylor joined the shooters to-day, Heikes was 
high with 188, Young second with 187, Taylor third with 
185. High average was won by Young with 374, Tryon 
second with 354, McConnell 344. 
Mrs. Geo. W. Morgan attended to the office work. 
She is an expert at this, and it is worth a pie Ssh to 
see how easily, quickly and accurately she manipulates 
figures. Her sister stood at the scoring board and _ did 
equally good work in this important position. Both 
ladies are daughters of the popular shooter Wm. Poole, 
and have apparently inherited their father’s love for the 


sport. The scores: ;

Ohio Trap Notes. 
The Dayton, O., Gun Club has not yet begun its 
regular weekly shoots, but on April 27 a few of the mem- 
bers visited the grounds and shot eight 25-target events. 
Ike was high with 112 out of 150. Lindermuth and Mc- 
Connell shot at 125 each, scoring 102 and 94 respectively. 
Carr broke 83 and Curphey 63 out of 100. McKnight 18 
out of 25. 
A number of the trapshooters of Dayton, friends of 
Phil Wentz, Sr., are arranging an entertainment for his 
benefit. He met with an accident recently which will 
lay him up for the summer, and the boys want to help 
him out. 
Very few members assembled on’ May 2 for the weekly 
shoot of the Rohrer’s Island Gun Club, of Dayton. There 
were no entries in Classes B and C. McConnell won the 
Class A certificate, and also the May medal contest. A 
stiff breeze interfered with the sport and kept down the 
scores. 
At the weekly shoot of the Cleveland Gun Club, April 
28, the handsome sterling silver watch fob given by the 
club to the one making high score out of 100 targets, was 
won by J. Blakeslee with 95. The Hunter Arms 
Company’s trophy event was won by W. H. Tamblyn 
aL, a straight score of 50. In this event the use of 
both barrels is permitted, but Mr. Tamblyn needed his 
second but once, and that was on the 47th target. Other 
good scores were made by Green, 49 out of 50; Stanley 
47, Ong, Burns and Guessit, 46 each. 
The members of the Pleasant Valley Gun Club, of De 
Graff, had a very enjoyable shoot on April 30. The 
weather was just about perfect, and some very good work 
was done. The club had as a guest Mr. John R. Taylor, 
and he headed the list with 93 out of 100. Martin, a new 
member, surprised every one by breaking 53 out of the 
first 60, but the pace was too fast for him, and he fin- 
ished with 77 out of 100, in fourth place. Runyon shot 
at 115 and broke 84 Lory (100) 79, Hough (100) 72, Rair- 
don (100) 68, Arbogast (80) 50, Lockhart (100) 46, Adam 
(90) 438. Several others shot at 50 targets or less. The 
next shoot of the club is on May 14. 
The Blue Grass championship shoot, held at Maysville, 
Ky., on May 3, under the auspices of the Maysville Gun 
Club, had an attendance of twenty shooters. The cham- 
pionship event at 50 targets, was won by T. H. Clay 

with 49. The handsome silver cup donated by the club 
will be added to his other trophies. He also won high 
amateur average. High professional average was won by 
C. O. Le Compte; Ralph Trimble second. The club

of Hazelton, Pa., will spend a few days’ fishing, where a 
jolly time is sure to be the result of the outing. 
At the initial shoot of the Wayne, Ind., Gun Club, held 
Sunday last, Max Witzigreuter was high man; yet he had 
little edge on P. M. Keller. Scores: Max Witzigreuter 
73 out of 80, P. M. Keller 71. 
J. L. Head, the Peru, Ind., crack shot, was one of the 
visitors at the Salt Lake, Utah, tournament, May 2 and 3.

Heights, where everything necessary for the pleasure of 
shotgun enthusiasts will be found in place. 
A gun club was organized last week at Ada, Minn., 
with about a dozen members, which will be increased to 
at least twenty-five in the near future. New traps. have 
been ordered, and the members hope to get in practice, 
so that they can participate in some of the tournaments 
to_be held in that part of the State during the summer. 
Pat Adams, while at the Wichita, Kan., shoot, ex- 
pressed his opinion that Gilbert would not be able to 
shoot again this season. Adams and Gilbert were boys

aim.

pores 20, McGaney 25, Parker 37, Mitchell 34, Kufee 
Fred Stone (“Scarecrow”) was a visitor to the 
Youngstown, O., tournament, despite the fact that he 
was up all the night previous. ; 
Chicago Height Gun Club is very busy now with its 
regular Sunday shoots. The high wind was a setback 
on the last meeting day, and the score made by Mr. P. 
Castor, of 82 out of 100, was considered good; anyway he 
was 12 ahead of the next high man. The club shoots 
every two weeks, and there is a standing invitation to 
all shooters to be present and bring guns. At 100 targets
