Efhardt's Annual. 
Atchison,. Kan., April 15. — Lou Erbardt sustained his rcpulis- 
t'mn for conducting successful tournaments by demonstrating: to tlie 
doubting: ones that it is possible to have a large attendance at 
a strictly amateur shoot. This is a new departure from the old 
and established custom of open-to-all shoots. Many predicted all 
sorts of unsuccessful things for this ventvu'e, which, however, 
they will now haVe to retract, or lose their reputation as prophets. 
Be this as it may, the tournatrient was a decided success, and 
Exceeded anything in the way of attendance at a target shoot 
in the West or South since the last San Antonio Midwinter, 
The gathering was truly a representative one of the amateur 
shooters of this great and growing West. Erhardt has conducted 
several tournaraetits, at which" the entries have exceeded this one, 
but these were of the kind that are designated as "plunder 
shoots." This shoot was devoid of these "bones of contention," 
as there was nothing but coin to shoot for here, and this can 
always be satisfactorily divided. Consequently everything passed 
off satisfactory, and while tliere were no big winners there were 
also none that are apt to become permanently "gun shy" from the 
fact that the game was entirely too expensive, and it is safe to 
predict that there are none among those who were present who 
will not be found here again next year, when Airy will as usual 
be doing business at the old stand. Those who came here with 
the expectation of wiiuiing big money were naturally disap- 
pointed, as it is a simple matter to figure out that this would be 
impossible where the programme consists of 15-target events and 
five moneys; but it must also be kept in mind that this very 
feature kept many shooting, where otherwise they would have 
dropped out. The sooner the idea of shooting for profit only is 
eradicated from the sport, the more popular will it become. 
EXECUTIVE FORCE. 
Under this head T will briefly refer to the grounds and the man- 
ner in which the shoot was run and also those who contributed 
by their labor to make it a success. The shooting was done on 
the ball grounds at Forest Park, a place mo.st accessible for this 
purpose, being reached by electric line. The location is on a high 
ridge that overlooks the city, and which at once assures a sky 
background. There were three sets of traps in position, all ar- 
ranged on the Sergeant system. On two of these the regular 
events were shot, while the other was used for extras, in which 
all were allowed to enter. The trade representatives were debarred 
from contesting for the money in tlic regular events. The extra 
set of traps was always well patronized, and there were plenty who 
were willing to pit their skill against the crackcrjacks, and none 
need to imagine that this class had nice and easy pickings. Jack 
Parker was manager, as is always the case a( Erhardt's shoots, 
but unfortunately he was a very sick individual during the entire 
shoot, and should have really been in bed in place of trying to 
conduct it. A bad case of (he grip was what was ailing Jack, and 
he brought this with him from Detroit. Nevertheless the shoot 
passed ofE nicely, as there were others who came to the assistance 
of the management, as is usually the case under such circum- 
stances. The cashier position was ablv and acceptable tilled by 
C. H. Wallingford, of DeKalb, Mo., who, without any assistance 
whatever, handled the numerous entries with a neatness and dis- 
patch that was commendable.

GENERAL AVERAGES. 
This is perhaps one of the most interesting features of a tourna- 
ment, and more attention is paid to this when summarizing on 
the results than anything else. There was $.50 set aside for general 
averages at this shoot, which was to go to the seven high guns di- 
vided as follows: $12, $10, $8, .$5, $5, $5, $5. Altogether twenty-six 
shot through the whole programme for the three days, and of all 
these only one finished with a percentage of 90. Duer by his 
great shooting on the first day was easily first with a good margin 
to spare, as he leads his nearest competitor 18 birds. For this dis- 
play of nerve and skill he receives $12, and no more popular 
win could have occurred, so it goes without saying that none envy 
him his success. The next six high guns are all bunched, only 8 
birds separating the second from the seventh, which shows how 
evenly the contestants were matched. Of those who got a part of 
this money none finished so strong as Lawton, who finished in 
fifth place, passing a number when he thought he was hopelessly 
out of it. This average money kept up the interest in the shoot 
until the very last, and also encouraged some to continue when 
otherwise they would have dropped out. This is a thing that should 
be embodied in every programme.

13, FIRST DAY. 
will doubtless be a matter of much 
comment when read by the shooters who were not present, as 
one would naturally surmise that in a field of shooters such as 
are assembled here, comprising nearly all the crack amateurs of 
the West, many would have.,a percentage of 90 for the day's 
shooting. To thoroughly understand the conditions one would 
have had to be present. Such a gale of wind as prevailed here 
to-day I have never seen equaled while a tournament was in pro- 
gress. The nearest approach to this was the weather encountered 
at Joplin two years ago. Puzzling and deceptive flights will 
scarcely properly describe the antics of the targets. 
One shooter nevertheless came through it all in triumph. He 
is one of the most gentlemanly and popular young shooters in the 
entire West — Billy Duer, of Hastings. To make an average of 
.926 on such a day is certainly a most extraordinary piece of shoot- 
ing, and is the most creditable performance that has come under 
my observation for quite a while. The number of targets that 
separate him and the nearest^ of those who^ are tie for second 
position will of itself attest this. Four are tied for second posi- 
tion, but 13 birds separate them from Duer, while their average 
is but .84, which is very good under the conditions. 
The other creditable performance of the day was Gottlieb's 35 
straight; he started off with this, but was unable to maintain it. 
Reust wound up with a run of 34 straight, which remained un- 
The attendance was good. Seventy-five participated, of which 
n-umber fifty sliot through the entire programme. The greatest 
<sntry iai amy ew.ent was sixty-eigSit. and the least ^fty-six. Kejith- 
line, Jacobson, Duncan and Gregg shot in only one event. The 
other seventy-one are shown in the table attached. 
The weather was bright, though the wind referred to above 
made it cold and disagreeable,

APRIL 14. SECOND DAY. 
The gale of the previous day had almost subsided, which had a 
noticeable effect on the shooting, for to a great extent the im- 
proved averages of the day can be attributed to this. In the 
morning it was still blowing some, but by the afternoon the wind 
had entirely subsided. This made it an ideal day for shooting, 
as the sun shone bright and warm. There was a m<arked increase 
in the attendance, something that is rarely the case, as one seldom 
sees the entry list on the second day of a tournament exceed that 
of the first. To-day there are as many who reached the 90 mark 
as there were 80s on the first. In this lot Worthington and Fan- 
ning tied for high honors; in the next place there were four — Gar- 
rett, Kabo, Reust and Crosby. Three others— Duer, Herr and 
Cornett— just scored an even 90. There was an abundance of 
straights in nearly all the events. 
The largest number of entries in any event was eighty-three, 
the first. This was fifteen in excess of the highest of the previous 
day. There were not quite as many who shot through, but this 
came about for the reason that the supply of birds on the grounds 
became exhausted, and many would not wait until others could 
be brought from the city. This may seem rather strange, though 
it is excusable because the supply on the grounds was larger than 
the number used the day before, and as mentioned above, it is 
rarely the case that more targets are used on the second day 
of a shoot. In all there must have been more than 13,000 targets 
used during the day. Aside from the regular events, extras were 
continually in progress on a separate set of traps.

APRIL 15, THIRD DAY. 
On this day it was very much a ease of the survival of the fittest, 
so it naturally follows that the average ran uniformly lugb. Til 
this respect it was warin enough for any -of the cracker jacks, to 
say nothing of the amateur class. The trade reprcscritatives that 
were present shot a great clip but cVefl at this there were several 
amateurs who showed them their heels. Koehler was ift stiperb 
forin, his scoring of 143 out of 150 was certainly high-class Sh<Dot' 
ingi and demonstrates that he is ofie of the best of the rtlatiy good 
amateur shots of this Western country. Then he also has to his 
credit the longest straight run of the day, as well as the tourna- 
ment. He managed to connect with 66 before he skipped one. 
Next to Koehler came Mortenson, Lemon and Crosby. Their 
shooting should he satisfactory to themselves and their friends. 
Ninety-four per cent, is something to be proud of. Sergeant cattle 
next, and this is the llr.st real good shooting he has done this 
season, something like hi.s former good performance. With such 
shooting tliere was little picking, though it occurred once or twice 
that some of the last moneys paid very well. 
The we;ither was of the finest and just such as one Would desire 
when anxious to make a good score. There was no wind, and con- 
sequently the targets flew very smooth and even. Though only 
fifty .shooters |)articipated on this day, yet thirty-seven of these 
shot through the entire events, of which Berney, Dinsmore, 
Schmidt and Doyle shot only in one event. The otherg are shown 
in the table appended.
