[Nov. 2, 1907. 

Sistersville Tournament. 
SISTERSVILLE, W. Va.—The annual fall target tourna- 
ment of the West Virginia Shooting Club, which took 
place on their old grounds, below town, Oct. 22 and 23, 
passed into history as one of the most enjoyable affairs 
of the kind the club has ever held. The attendance was 
hardly up to expectations, possibly on account of the 
hunting season being so near; but those who were here 
enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. 
We were fortunate in having a goodly number of the 
manufacturers’ representatives with us, just one full 
squad of them—and a jolly bunch they were. 
The weather—well, it was simply perfect both days. 
We are certainly under many obligations to the weather 
man this time. 
Among the experts were Luther J. Squier, Dupont 
Powder Co.; H. . Stevens, U. M. C. Co. and Kem- 
ington Arms Co.; H. S. Welles, Dead Shot; Guy Ward, 
Ballistite; Ralph L. ‘Yrimble, 'W inchester, and H. E. 
Young, U. M. C. 
The three prizes for averages in the expert class were 
awarded as tollows: Guy Ward, first, silk umbrella; 
Rk. L. Trimble, second, Knox hat; H. H. Stevens car- 
ried off the safety razor for third. 
Among the amateurs were P. 
Schlicher, John M. 
Speary, and F. M. Jones, } 
Marietta, O.; L.-E. Lantz, 
Dr. B. Keifer and A. G. Higginbothem, Jacksonburg; 
Dr. H. S. West and G. W. Bayles, McMechen: S. R. 
Wells and T. M. McIntire, New Martinsville; W_ F, 
Hendrickson, Dillonvale, O.; John F. and S. T. Mal- 
lory, Parkersburg; Fred Shattuck, Columbus, O. 
in the merchandise event, John F. Mallory and John 
M. Speary, tied for first place, taking the itahaca gun 
and Savage rifle. S. 7. Mallory took the Stevens rifle; 
Fred Shattuck and Ed. O. Bower, each an umbrella; 
W. F. Hendrickson, set brier pipes: Dr. B. Keifer, two 
quarts whiskey, and A. G. Higginbothem, box cigars. 
John F. Mallory, of Parkersburg, and P. Schlicher, 
of Marietta, O., tied for high amateur average on first 
day with 178 out of 200, and John M. Speary, of Mari. 
W 
etta, O., was high amateur on the second day with 187 


















out of 205. Each will receive the St. Louis Sportsman for 
one year. Ward, Stevens, Trimble, Hendrickson, J. F. 
and S. T. Mallory, Shattuck, Speary, Bower, Jones, 
Sayles and McIntyre, each received a Lefever gun 
cleaner. For the two days, Ward (professional) and 
Speary (amateur) were tied for high average with 364 
out of 405; Trimble second with 36 F. Mallory and 
Stevens tied fcr third place with : while Fred Shat- 
tuck was fourth with 358. Scores fo

It was a hot squad of experts. 
Guy Ward didn’t talk much, but 
John F. Mallory and H. H. 
general. average. 
. M. Jones, of Marietta, was breaking in a new gun, 
“nuff sed.” 
P. Schlicher went some if anybody should 
ask, tying for high amateur first day. 
Sam Wells had to leave on account of 
were sorry. 
John Speary can’t shoot here any more. Going to give 
some one else a show at a first general average. 
Fred Shattuck came over from Columbus to see how 
we did things in West Virginia, and incidentally to show 
us how they operate over in the Buckeye State. Fourth 
general average, just one behind for third place. Come 
again, Fred. 
We were glad to see Ralph Trimble on the firing line 
again. While a little out of practice, he shot a consistent 
race both days, landing second general average, only 
three targets behind for first, i 
shot 
a. “heep.” 
Stevens 
tied for second 
happen to 
We 
sickness. 
Dr. B. Keifer, of Jacksonburg, who will help man- 
age the next State shoot, came over and won our two 
quarts. Here’s to you, Doc. 
Sqr. Higginbothem was compelled to shoot with a 
different gun nearly every time, which doubtless .ac- 
counted for some of his low scores. He is capable of 
doing better. He, however, 
t won a box of cigars in the 
merchandise event. 

Bayles says there will be something doing when they 
get their new club started at McMechen. 
L. E. Lantz, president of the Jacksonburg Gun Club, 
came in for second day, but was away below his usual 
form. 
Will Hendrickson, the real life of the whole “‘caboodle,” 
reminded us of the little German who had drilled for oil, 
but got a dry hole. ‘The vell, oh, it vas empty, but we 
had one of a time.” 
Sid Mallory, the champion golf player of Parkersburg, 
reported to the management upon his arrival that he had 
brought $5 in quarters with him. We were glad he did, 
for he just had enough. He didn’t take any away. To 
keep him_in good humor, however, we allowed him to 
win the Stevens rifle. 
T. M. McIntyre had a gun that bumped his face, which 
caused his average to be away below where it usually is. 
He won a prize, though, and didn’t have to walk home, 
either. 
H. S. Welles, the genial Dead Shot representative, was 
very much in evidence both days. It was a source of 
regret to us when he felt it necessary to withdraw from 
the last event on the second day. He had a chance to 
land near the top for general average. 
Luther Squier, while shooting Dupont near the front, 
rendered valuable service to our cashier, for which we 
feel grateful. The feeling here is unanimous to allow him 
to come again, 
E. Young, the U. M. C. hustler, while not shoot- 
ing, also rendered valuable service and assisted very 
materially in making the shoot the success that it was. 
He was here, there and everywhere, and entitled to a 
unanimous vote of thanks. 
Bill Woodruff, the pencil pusher, usually has every- 
body paid off in about five minutes after the last shot is 

fired. This time it was fully six minutes before every- 
thing was closed up, so guess we will have to look 
around for a new man for this job. Ep. O. Bower. 

Clarksburg Gun Club. 
CLarkKsBurG, W. Va., Oct. 25.—The first tournament of 
the Clarksburg Gun Club, given this date, was a decided 
success from every point of view. The weather man was 
good to us for this time of year, and outside of plenty of 
wind, it was fine. The attendance was good, considering 
that every shooter who can get away a day at this time 
of the year is in the field. The division of money was 
on the Jack Rabbit system, with added money to each 
event, and an equal division of the surplus, and when 
14 will pay $3.85 in a 20-bird event, it is letting the low 
men in. The high average money went to Ed. 
Bower, and the low average to G. T. Watson. 
The trade was represented by H. H. Stevens, of U. M. 
C. G., and H. Young, of the U. M. C. and Remington 
Arms Co. Luther Squier and Ed. H. Taylor, of the 
Dupont Powder Co., were also there. Luther was high 
gun with 181, and Taylor coming along with 180. H. H. 
Stevens had 176.

Club, of Paterson, and the Cedar Grove Gun Club.
