When the Fallon Greenhead club
was organized eight years ago 1t had
a humble beginning. Conceived in
the minds of a few of the enthusas-
tic sportsmen of the community the
club has grown from year to year
until 1t now counts membership of
about $50 scattered largely over the
western part of the state and many
of the leading men of Nevada are
numbered among the embership
of the Greenhead club 1t is the
present plan of the clubs active
members to continue to create in
terest in the purposes of the organi-
zation until its roster shall count
thousand western Nevadans who
shall thus be attracted to this point
each fall to enjoy the unequaled
duck and goose shooting afforded
here. And not only is excellent
fowl shooting offered by the Fallon
Greenhead club, but good fellowship
as well, and the two happy condi-
tions promise to combine to create
an annual event here that will be-
come far famed as wholesome
sporting enterprise.
Annual shoots have been held for
six years with others thrown In for
good measure. yet last Sundays con-
test eclipsed all previous affairs.
Not only were there more hunters in
the tules under the leaderships of
Captains VIM. Powell and Charles
Cress. but larger number of ducks
were bagged and the quarry was fat
ter and more toothsome, say those
who ate at last evenings banquet.
Following established precedent
this banquet was put forward by the
losing side and although baked duck
and dressing were given the central
position on the tables the culinary
list was long and delectable and so
altogether inviting that the consery-
ative appetite turned gourmand for
the time and no apologies were
needed.
But we are ahead of our story.
The shoot was the prelude TO the
feast. Down In the tules the vic
torious captain, VIM. Powell. lead
his men in the onslaught In contest
with those under Captain Charles
Cress. The fate of battle hung
throughout the day by slender
thread, and like all great events.
may have been changed by small ef-
fort. The bombardment went on
hour after hour and when evening
came and tabulations were made it
was found that Captain Powell's fol-
lowers had eclipsed their rivals by
the narrow margin of rs points, the
totals for the two sides being 6s91
as compared to 6913.
These points are arrived at by
figuring each greenhead duck so,
canvasbacks and mallards. 40,
sprague and widgeons, 80, spoonbills,
