THE HIGH TOURNAMENT AVERAGES. 
The following supplementary table of averages will be interesting as 
showing the men who went above 90, above 80, above 70, above 60 and 
above 50. It will be observed that Rolla Heikes has offered additional 
proof of the fact that he is nothing short of a phenomenon. In the 
three days of the tournament shooting, he lost only 16 birds out of the 
495. In the practice day before the tournament opened, he shot at 100, 
scoring 98. This brings his total average for four days up to 96.98, or 
for the three tournament days 96.76. There is but one target shooter 
in this country and the boys all know it, Mr. McMurchy did well to 
pace him so closely with 94. 14. The shooting conditions were not of 
the best, the weather being hot and depressing for more than half the 
time. The table shows concisely what the crackerjacks did at Mem- 
phis, so that he who runs may read the classified averages.

THE HIGHEST WINNINGS OF THE TOURNAMENT, 
As was stated elsewhere, this was not a tournament of great indi- 
vidual winnings, but one of a great many smaller winnings, the suc- 
cess of the tournament being due to that very fact. A glance at the 
ties will show the frequency of straights and high scores, every man 
there struggling his best to "go straight," and meeting often in the 
Straight hole a number of swift competitors. "Dropping" was a thing 
unknown. It would take too much valuable space to tabulate all the 
small winnings. Among the great ones were Mr. Sumpter's 25 
straight alone, which paid him $93. On the last day Heikes opened 
the ball with two 20 straights, and pulled off a good thing alone, the 
two purses netting him $140.50. In the next event he scored 19, which 
only paid him $3.25. Heikes was no doubt the largest winner, but an 
exceptionally large number of men went home with money in their 
pockets. This was by no mean» a "wolf shoot," unless 1he amateurs 
wolfed the experts. About half of the men who shot above a 90 gait 
were amateurs, or so-called amateurs. In fact, the amateur was on 
band everywhere at Memphis shoot. 
THE "AMATEUR" CLASSIFICATION. 
The following are the names of the men who divided the $500 pro 
rata, each having shot through the programme. The committee no 
doubt exercised their best descretion in making out this list, and it 
should be accepted without argument, although of course much argu- 
ment would be possible on so difficult and nice a question. The list 
was once cut down to 41 names, and was then much more nearly cor- 
rect than it is with its increase to 50 names. Friends and interested 
parties gave the committee much trouble aDd got in a few names 
which probably do not belong there. The known manufacturer's 
agent does not belong on the same footing with the actual amateur at 
aDy shoot, for he is asking odds for himself all the time. Much worse 
is the secret manufaturer's agent, who gets equipment or expenses se- 
cretly, for he is getting odds all the while when his competitors 
are ignorant of it. These men are one of the customs of the 
modern, highly artificial tournament system, but they are a pest to 
the trade and a detriment to the sport, and when the manufacturers 
have taken a little more thought over it they will abolish them and 
put an end to a pernicious custom. Memphis management could have 
done nothing more desirable than to speed that way, and no doubt 
this was the intention, tempered only by the wish to be just and tem- 
perate rather than just and harsh. Be that as it may, the Memphis 
Gun Club has done so much to put trap shooting on a high and gen- 
tlemanly plane of absolute honorableness and fairness that it would be 
in poor taste to offer much advice on this matter. The names are as 
follows: Anthony, Mitchell, Miller, Holn, Moore, Tway, Trimble, 
Gambell, Hill, Meadprs, Duley, Pemberton, Hughes, Sumpter, Lloyd, 
Alexander, Lindsey, Rike, Connor, Leroy. Alkire, Buker, Foote, Leg- 
ler, Redwing, Upson. Merrill, Cornett, Gulick, Robinson, Wagner, 
Baker, (lalhoun, Greime, Best, -Mcllhany, Kenmouth. Woodworth. 
Shorty, W. D. Thompson, Morgan, Guessaz, Smith, Little, Rix, Porter- 
fleld, Kaufman, Hoffman, Jefferson, Drake. 
SQUAD RECORDS. 
The "E. C. and Empire" red-shirt squad made the highest squad 
record of the shoot, which is as follows: Red Wing (Worthing- 
ton) 19. Upson 20, Young 19, Merrill 19, Van Dyke 20, Cornett 18; 
total 115 out of 120. 
The second high squad record was made bv the "Arkansas Squad" 
as follows: Duley 16, Pemberton 18, Hughes 20, Sumpter 20, Lloyd 20, 
Alexander 18; total 114 out of 120. 
There was a "Pump Squad," 4 out of the 6 shooting Winchester 
"pumps." A "Texas Squad." a "Memphis Squad." a "Mystic Shrine 
gang," etc., etc., added spirit to a sport ordinarily monotonous. It 
has never been the fortune of the writer to attend a tournament so 
pleasant and interesting in so many ways. 
HAZARD AVERAGE. 
The Hazard Powder Co., or rather their Memphis agents, Messrs. 
Shanks, Phillips & Co., gave an additional purse on Thursday, $65, to 
be divided pro rata among the five highest guns using the new Hazard 
smokeless powder (the "Blue Ribbon" brand) throughout the day's 
programme. This was divided among Holz 151, Woodworth 147, 
Buker 145, Shorty Bacon, Legler and Miller 144, Hughes 143, Ruble 142, 
Trimble 141. [Ties and a mispayment of the purse made it number 9 
guns instead of 7. The purse was divided, 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10.] 
THE AVERAGE DAILY ENTRY. 
The first day's entry averaged 85 guns, the second day 81, the third 
day 70.50, a total tournament average of 80.£3 shooters for each day. 
This record, considering the lateness of the date in the year and the 
great distance from which most of the shooters came, is surely a 
record breaker and fairly to be called the highest tournament average 
of the season. 
FRIDAY SHOOTING. 
After the close of the tournament on Thursday a few of the enthu- 
siasts lingered on the scene and kept up sweepstake shooting for half 
a day on Friday. A wind storm prevented some team and individual 
races which would elsewise have been snot. A very interesting team 
race was shot, Messrs. Noel Money and Irby Bennett against Messrs. 
T. H. Keller and T. A. Divine, 50 targets, for $25 a corner. Betting 
ran brisk on this, and each man added a new hat to his wager, besides 
laying several bets of hats and cash on the side. Probably $100 or so 
changed hands, Noel Money alcne winning $85 on side wagers. 
Messrs. Keller and Divine were chosen to win, but Mr. Divine's score 
fell lower than was to be expected, he being nearly down sick with his 
old enemy, the fever, though he stood to his guns all through the try- 
ing week. Mr. Money shot a splendid race, running the itst 31 
straight. The score:

DISCOVERIES. 
The nigger and Ihemuledo most of the hard labor in the South 
except the trap reporting. Neither of them can be induced to do 
that. 
The yellow-legged chicken is a great civilizer, inducing as it does a 
centralization of Methodist preachers, trap-shooters and other good 
people. The yellow-legged chicken madeMemphis and Memphis shoot 
what they are. 
There were several ways of getting out to the grounds, but the best 
way was to go in an ice wagon. 
Irby Bennett was called away Tuesday and Wednesday to a hard- 
ware convention at Louisville. [P. S.— He said so. It may have been 
a pink tea.] 
If anything, Tom Divine was a little thinner, a little more energetic 
and a little sassier than ever. 
It did the writer good to see "Old Hoss" AMen miss about half his 
birds in one shoot, because it reminds one of a day when Mr, Alien 
killed all the quail Variety is the spice of luck. 
Mr. William Tell Mitchell made public the startling discovery that 
the left barrel of his Parker guD, and of all Parker guns, shot to the 
left. They do, they do. It maybe because they are on the left side 
of the gun. But will William Tell about the cast-off in his brain which 
made him ventilate such absurdities in the presence of so courtecus a 
man as Oapt. DuBray and of his friends?
