J.J. "UMC" Hollowell of Tucson, AZ at Watson's Park, Chicago Dec. 1897. Definitely a straight grip



1897 & 1899 GAH Winner Hon. Thomas Marshall with his Cashmore from Leslie's Weekly Illustrated, N.Y., May 4, 1899. Clearly a straight grip by his right hand position.
Marshall, C.M. Grimm, J.G. Knowlton, J.A. Jackson, S. Hoffman and Geo. Roll (possibly standing behind Marshall) all killed 25 birds. Marshall won with 33 birds in the shoot-off after Grimm missed his 32 bird.
