[April 19, 1962. 
Kansas State Tournament. 
The Kansas State Sportsmen's Association held its thirteenth 
annual convention here this week, together with the most success- 
ful tournament in its history. 
^ Olathe is a pretty place of 4,000 inhabitants, on the Frisco & 
Santa Fe Railroad systems, twenty odd miles southwest of Kansas 
City, and wheit Mayor Frank Hodges, as president of the Associa- 
tion, told the boys while at the G. A. H. that he would give a 
good tourney here, they took him at his word, and came over in 
a bunch. The programme called for 200 targets per day for three, 
days, and one at live birds. The latter feature had to be abandoned 
owing to the impossibility at this time to get good birds. 1 n the 
target programme there were four 20 and eight 15 bird events daily, 
with four moneys, divided under the Rose system, with points of 
7, 5, 3, 1. Mr. H; S. McDonald, of Omaha, was in the office, and 
handled the work with consummate skill, while President Hodges 
and Secretary Kooler looked after" the outside management in their 
happy style. ' 
Three sets of expert traps were used, working on the Sergeant" 
system, and put out an average of 10,000 targets daily without 
driving. The daily scores are appended: 
Tuesday* April 8. 
This was a difficult shooting day, and but for thoughtful ar- 
rangements on the grounds as' to shelter and heat, would have 
provenvery unpleasant. A high wind sweeping directly across the 
traps made the targets erratic in the extreme, and a" cutting drizzle 
of rain fell at intervals until late in the afternoon. First ■ and 
second averages were landed by Heer and Garrett, from the 1C 
and 18yd. marks respectively. Detailed scores follow:

Second Day, April 9. 
The weather early this morning was threatening, and promised 
rain, but the skies cleared before 9 o'clock, the wind subsiding to 
a light breeze. Targets flew true to the traps, and the natural 
consequence was a much better general average of scores. On 
the merits of Tuesday's work, most handicaps were reduced to 
16yds.. but proceeded promptly to shoot themselves back to the 
C. G. SPENCER, THE RUNNER UP, G. A. H., 1Q02. 
Killed 77 straight in contest for G, A- H. trophy 
next mark. Fred Gilbert did remarkable work in the first half, 
scoring 98 out of 100 shot at, from the 20yd. handicap. Average 
for the day was won by Badger, shooting at 18yds., whilff Arnold, 
standing 2yds. nearer, took second. 
The contest for the State individual championship trophy, at 30 
targets, was called as the last feature of the day, witk fifteen 
entries. J. C. Calhoun and W. H. Herr tied on straig'*. scores, 
but in the shoot-off the latter won easily. The scores:

Annual Meeting. 
The annual business meeting of this Association was held at the 
Hotel Olathe, April 9, at 8 P. M. President Frank Hodges pre- 
sided and Secretary H. W. Kooler presented the annual report, 
which was accepted and approved. Propositions for changing the 
conditions controlling trophies in the hands of the Association 
were considered at length, and ultimately it was decided to make 
the State championship an annual trophy, to go absolutely to the 
winner, its perpetuity being guaranteed by one individual payment 
of 25 cents above the amount due the purse, to be paid in each 
contest. 
The Rochester cup was permanently retired with the present 
meeting, becoming the property of the winner of the present con- 
test. 
The proposition of the Concordia Gun Club for the next annual 
meeting was accepted and the next convention and tournament so 
assigned. 
W. H. Heer was chosen President; Louis Ehrhardt, of Atchison, 
Vice-President, and Fred Olney, Secretary-Treasurer. 
* A vote of thanks was extended to the retiring officers and citizens 
of Olathe, and a committee of three was named to draft resolu- 
tions of condolence touching th« sad death of James Whitfield. 
who was for twenty years a staunch and forceful friend of tra«| 
shooting in the West. 
Thursday, April 10. 
The game was quite difficult to-day, owing to wind from directly 
behind the traps, which demoralized scores. Badger, Garret, Gill 
bert and Le Compte held out best, and got the day's averages iij 
the order named. 
The final contest for the Rochester Interstate Championshi]! 
trophy was held as the closing feature. It was a race at 50 singlt 
targets, winner to take trophv and next high guns the purse 
J. C. Calhoun, of Weir City. Kas., proved the winner by cleaning 
up Ins 50 birds straight, while F. P.. Cunningham, of St. loe, Mai 
got second honor vith 48. Scores::
