Missouri's State Shoot. 
Sixth Day, May 22. 
It is only natural that after six days of shooting the entries wpuld 
fall oif somewhat, still twenty men shot through the programme to« 
day. Jim Elliott heads the list, and the pace that he set was one of 
the kind that kills. Only six misses out of 160 shot at is slightly the 
best average made through the whole tournament for any one day. 
~im though it was about time for him to have an inning, and he got 
p»-day. But that little brother of his. Date, figured somewhat in 
.e shoot, too; his straight in the ihird event occurred when every- 
body else fell down, so he scooped first alone. Gilbert had similar 
luck in the first event. 
There were other features of interest in the shoot to-day, but they 
were at the live bird traps Four events remained to be shot: a 5, 
two 7s and a 10-bird event, and the ownership of two cups was in- 
volved. Ttus brought about all the dispute. Two of these events 
were merged together, and a 15-bird race was shot instead. The first 
7-bird events had $15 added by Herman, and in the others the choice 
of the cups went to the first, and the remaining one to the second— 
"npt high guns though. Gilbert, Withworth, Glover, Running, Beikes 
md McMurcby tied on 15 straight, and for a little while there was a 
shooting match. Glover quit right away, as he missed his first tie 
bird, which was also his first loss in the shoot. Gilbert lasted just 6 
rounds, when he lost one dead out of bounds. Running went out on 
tUs 9th tie bird, after killing 23 with one barrel; this bird was also 
lead out of bounds. This left Withworth, Heikes and McMurchy. 
The sympathies were all with the boy, but be was forced to quit, as 
bis 14i h, a hard one, died out of bounds. The suspense was soon over, 
Cor Roll lost the next bird, also dead out of boimds. McMurchy had 
but to kill to win. The bird he drew was a wicked one, and never 
faltered from the first, but a good second brought it down at long 
range. Thirty straights is what it required to win this cup. 
In the 14 hole there were ten. and it was equally as hot a class. 
Herman went out on the second round; Mcllnany, Campbell and 
Jackson on the fourth; Sergeant on the seventh; Curtice on the 
sighth; Elliott on the ninth, and Gottlieb on eleventh. Of these 
Mollhany's, Curtice's, Elliott's and Gottlieb's were all dead out of 
bounds. This left only Parmelee and Rogers to fight it out, and 
Nebraska was to have the cup. Parmelee missed his twelfth; then 
Elogers drew a sitter and as it flipped up he tried to catch it, but the 
fsferee dec'ded no bird. The substitute that he got was as hot as 
Obasco or Jack Parker's shirt. Though hit with both barrels, it fell 
ead out of bounds. This gave Parmelee another chance, and he 
won out after killing 7 more straight, Rogers going out on another 
good one. 
Thirty-four shot in the target events to-day. There was tlso a con- 
solation race for those who had not won first or second during the 
two previous days. Kune won first in this event. The weather 
tb^day was threatening and one or two showers fell, but not enough 
:o interrupt the shooting. There was $25 added to each event.

GENERAL AVBRAGES. 
The struggle for the premier position was interesting. Gilbert as- 
sumed the lead on the second day and maintained it, though Budd 
managed to aU but close the gap between them on the fourth day when 
he gained 6 targets on Gilbert, leaving him but a single .break in the 
lead, and one more day of shooting. By the time the third event of 
the last day had been shot, this, too, had been wiped out; and at the 
end of tne sixth event Budd was one in the lead. But as Gilbert 
scored 39 out of his last 40, and Budd only ao, Gilbert won out by 8 
breaks. In the live-bird events Gilbert also shot well, losing 2- birds 
out of 10 shot at, including shoot ofEs. 
Budd is scored in the target events 6 breaks ahead of Heikes, who 
is in turn followed by Glover and McMurchy. The figures are:

THE LIVE BIBD EVENTS. 
The live-bird sweeps shot during the week, exclusive of the Star 
cup race are given briefly in tabulated form, Nos. I,3and3 were 
bhot on Tuesday, May 18; Nos. 4, 5 and 6 on Wednesday, May 19, and 
Nos. 7 and 8 on Saturday (today). 
In all these eight events, shot on three separate days, Gilbert scored 
every bird he shot at; but he was unlucky enough to lose two birds in 
the championship just when he wanted them. His record for the 
week on live birds stands 89 scored out of 91 shot at. Two special 
Krizes were contested for in these events, the conditions being that 
hey should go to the local shooter making the highest average. 
These prizes were a season ticket to the basebaU games, donated b.y 
Manager Manning, of the local team, and a gold medal, donated by 
the O. K, Gun Club. Both prizes went ttie way of many others, Otiris 
Gottlieb winning them. In the table given below it wUl be seen that 
bis totals are tied by Jim Elliott, but his 85 straight in the cup race is 
what landed him in front.

GOTTLIEB V/mS THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN. 
The Individual Championship of the State at live birds is as much 
one of the features of tbe annual shoot as the team race. There were 
forty entries for State championship honors this year, but only one, 
Chris Gottlieb, managed to score his 25 straight, thus once more win- 
ning the championship, as well as the handsome gold medal donated 
b,y the Stockyards Gun Club to the winner of this event; this medal 
carries no challenges with it. but is the absolute property of Mr Gott- 
lieb. It will be remembered that he also won the championship at 
the meeting in 1836. His win again this year was a very popular one, 
as Chris has many friends in this city; in fact he may be termed 
"Kansas City's pride." 
The second priza in this event was a silver water service. For this 
prize Wilmot, Means, C. Herman, Jim Porter and McCurdy tied with 
24 each. They shot the tie off miss-and out, Wilmot winning in the 
14th round. Means dropped his 14th bird; Herman his 6th; Porter 
and McCurdy both went out in the second round of the ties. Scores 
in this event were as below:

A RETROSPECT. 
The twentieth annual tournament of the Missouri State Game and 
Fish Protective Association will pass into history as the most success- 
ful shoot ever held by this Association. Never during the entire six 
days did the interest flag, and on Saturday afternoon entries in the 
live-bird events had to be declined in order that the programme 
events could be finished before dark. Even then it was after 6 
o'clock before the last tie was decided. This was not due to any 
lack of facilities, for from 1,200 to 1,400 pigeons are trapped in a day 
It was right here in Kansas City that the underground system of 
trapping originated. 
There was much interest in this tournament, and it was virtually 
like conducting two tournaments in one. Both target and live-bird 
traps were kept constantly in use. In the former there was good 
added money and several medals; while both medals and some ele- 
gant trophies were the attractions in the live-bird events. The nro- 
gramme was the most attractive given to the shooters since the Mid- 
winter. Add to this a week of the finest weather, and the success of 
this shoot is easily accounted for. 
WASHINGTON PARK. 
For a number of years this has been the established shooting 
ground of nearly all the gun clubs in Kansas City, and being well 
equipped and amply large it followed that the tournament would be 
held there. For so large a ciiy as Kansas City the park is an access- 
able one indeed. It requires only about thirty-five minutes ride on 
the cable and electric cars, and tnough one change is necessary one 
can reach it from any part of the ciiy, and after you have changed 
from the cable to the electric line, the latter lands one right at the 
gate of the park. Here one set of live bird traps with the under- 
ground system of trapping was run. while two magautrap^ with 
Paul North to look after them, furnished ample shooting for those 
who wanted that kind of game. These traps did their work as near 
perfect as possible, and ground out targets with a rapidity that must 
have been very gratifying to Paul North. On several occasions when 
one of the expert squad were shooting whole targets or those broken 
by the shot were constantly in the air. Fe iv targets were broken in 
the trap and there was scarcely an interruption during the entire 
week. 
Owing to the peculiar formation of the grounds, which rise rather 
abruptly just back of the live-bird score, shooting can be kept up 
con inuously without interference to either sport. The club house 
stands on the ridge, and below, perhaps 3Jft., are the live-bird traps 
To the right of the club house on the ridge are the target traps" 
which throw the targets out over the ridge into the space below but 
without endangering any one there, the live-bird traps being consi- 
derably to the left of this. The executive committee, if I remember 
righ',;were: Messrs. Lee Porter, W.S. HalHwell and G. M. Walden 
Mr. W. V. Roger filled the thankless, though responsible, position of 
referee at the live-bird trap. Mr. Ruger is always firm and decisive 
and above all impartial. So thoroughly competent a man in this 
position adds much to the success of the shoot. 
MANnrACTUBERS WELL REPRESENTED. 
The trade was well represented, some very warm members being on 
hand. Among them were: R. O. Heikes, Dayton, O., and J. A R 
Elliott, both Winchester and E. 0. representatives; Paul North, rer>'- 
resenting the Cleveland Target Co. and looking after the magautraps- 
Jack Parker, of Detroit, and Mrs. Mdt Lindsley, of Cincinnati O ' 
taking care of the interests of King's Smokeless and Peters' Cartridge 
Co. ; Harvey McMurchy, of Syracuse, N. Y., talking Smith guns; Her- 
bert Taylor, of St. Louis, Mo., representing Du Pont and Hazard's 
Blue Ribbon; Sim Glover, of Rochester, N. Y., who won the Star cup 
with SchultZB powder and a Parker gun ; Fred Gilbert, of Spirit Lake 
la . shooting Du Pont's to the front; Cbas. Budd, of Des Moines la ' 
right after Gilbert with Hazard's Bine Ribbon; Frank S. Parmelee of 
Omaha, Neb., with his Remington ejector, also well to the fore '

THE ANNUAL MEETING. 
The annual meeting of the State Association was held at the Wis- 
consin CluD, President Lee Porter pre-iding. The meeting was well 
attended, ana the business was transacted with r-.pidity. 
Kansas City was again selecteO as the place for holding the next 
annual convention and tournament. It was generally understood 
that an effort would be made to have St. Louis chosen for holding 
the next convention, but the protnised delegation from that city 
failed to materialize, and Mr. Herbert Taylor, the projector of this 
movement, reluctantly abandoned the idea. 
The officers elected for the ensuing year are: President, Granville 
M. Walden, of Kansas City; Vice President, Herbert Taylor of SC 
Louis, Mo.; Treasurer, George Knerr, Kansas^City ; "Recording Secre- 
tar,y, Ed Hickman ; Corresponding Secretary, Frank N. Casey, both 
of Kansas City. The appointment of the executive committee was 
deferred until some future time by President Walden. The date for 
the next annual tournament will be the same as this year, the third 
week in May. 
j;udge J. B. Gulnott'-, in behalf of the committee that has charge of 
revising the constitution and by-laws, of which committee he is chair- 
man, reported progress, and said that theii- work would soon be 
ready for the printer. He further moved that the frontispiece of the 
book be a pictm-e of the famous Kansas City four-men team that 
scored 53 out of 60 in a match with a St. Louis team in 1679. The four 
men on the team were charter members of the Association; they 
were: Fredericir Fred ricks, Durry Under wood, Jim McGee and Emil 
Work. The only survivor of this record-breaking team being Emil 
Work. 
The meetuig then adjourned. 
SMALL ITEMS OF INTEREST 
What are yo a going lo do about it? Plumber Read made a straight, 
and blames his new Smith gun and King's Smokeless for causing all 
the trouble. 
For once Glover was guessing. Here was the problem he was up 
against: 147 breaks out of 160 shot at, and £0 cents loser on the day I 
Such was his record on the first day. 
Grandfather Den and the two lady shooters, Mrs. Day and Wanda 
(Mrs. M. F. Lindsley), were the center of attraction during the shoot. 
Mrs. Day handles her gun in a graceful and effective manner, and 
made several good scores on targets. Mrs. Lindsley also did well on 
live birds. 
Mcllhany 's numerous friends will be pleased to know that he is 
back from the West to stay. This means that Mac will be seen at 
some of the Western tournaments this summer. 
Milt Lindsley was unable to get away from King's Mills, but he very 
wisely sent Mrs, Lindsley to assist Jack Parker in looking after the 
mterests of King's Smokeless and Peters' cartridges. 
Bert Taylor, the representative of the Du Pont and Hazard Powder 
companies, says that he is well satisfied with the result of this shoot 
First and second averages in a five days' shoot is quite enough glorv 
for his companies in one week. a a j 
Rolla Heikes made a new record for the Winchester repeating shot- 
gun : He broke 100 targets in 2 minutes 58^ seconds with the aid of 
his pumps and the magautrap. 
Linderman is an unpretentious fellow, but no squarer man ever 
walked down the firing line. Dick always shoots tne best he knows 
how, never kicks, and is a stayer. 
There are few, if any, more imparlial and capable live-bird referees 
in the country than Billy Reiger. He is to the West what John S 
Hoey wte to the East. 
It is quite a feather in Glover's cap to have come so far from home 
and carry off the championship cup, and that, too, right on the late 
champion s own dunghill. Sim's victory is quite a card for Parker 
guns and Schultze powder. 
Paul North is authority for the statement that 33,275 targets were 
thrown at this shoot, and that it rpquired only 41,000 targets trapped 
to bring about that result. It only took from 10 A. M. to between 4 
and 5 P. M. to shoot the programme out each day. 
And say! Chris Gottlieb "didn't do a thing to 'em, did hef" He 
won the Star trophy in the Interstate target shoot and the medal 
given by the Stock Yards Gun Club to the winner of that race He 
also won the O. K. Gun Club's medal given for the best average bv 
any loc»l shooter in all the live-bird events, and also took the season's 
basebaU ticket donated by Manager Manning for the same thing He 
only shot in two more trophy events without success: The' Star 
championship cup on live birds, and the silver cup given by Jaccard 
to the winner of second place in the 15-bird event on Saturday May 
22. H^ was in the tie for this last cup and scored 10 straight in the 
ties before being shot out, Parmelee finally won the cup with a total 
of 32 oiit of 31.
