WESTERN TRAP. 
Indiana State League Tournament. 
Indianapolis, Ind., April 15.— The State League shoot was held 
here on April 12 and 13, and proved a grand success in every- 
way, especially in the attendance, as there were seventy-five shoot- 
ers, all told. 
The conditions were somewhat against the shooters, as the 
scores will show; they are low for the traps and grounds used by 
the club selected for the 1904 Grand American. 
Ralph Trimble was high man first day, though he lost 23; but 
on the second day he came forth strong, and lost but 10, thus 
scoring 887 out of 420, and taking high professional average with 
plenty to spare. 
The highest amateur score was that of the well-known and 
niuch-liked Ernest H. Tripp, of the English Hotel fame. His 
score was 360. 
Of the State events, the individual State badge was won by 
Edward Faust, of Warren, while the team badge went to Jos. 
Michaelis and J. W. Bell, of the Indianapolis Gun Club. 
The traveling representatives were fairly plentiful: John Boa, 
Ralph Trimble and Fred Lord. Jim Head was the head shooter 
on the list. He was first to the score and last man to stop. 
H. W. Vietmeyer was present, and made new friends while 
expounding in the interest of the powders he exploits. 
Jack Fanning was surely there, making little smoke save of 
the targets, as his load ground out 193 the last day. 
Kirby was busy for his company, and shot the whole programme 
through. 
The officers and members have held such good tournaments here 
that they are accustomed to handling big crowds. With Mr. Allen 
as secretary and office man, everything moves off smoothly. 
No oiie had any "kick coming" save on his poor shooting, and 
when the scores are so generally low, the high men loom up finely 
by comparison. 
The Indianapolis and the Indiana shooters are very enthusiastic 
over the prospects of the G. A. H. being the greatest ever brought 
ofif in the shooting world. The scores: 
April 12, First Day.

Witt Gon Clob. 
Witt, 111., April 13.— Now that the ducks have gone glimmering, 
so far as the open season is concerned, there will be something 
on now and the^ at the traps. 
The opening club shoot was held Tuesday, shooting at 25 tar- 
gets: Hartline 20, Dean 21, Payne 17, Teeters 18, Redmond 16, 
Hess 14, Jester 13. 
Hazlefaurst Gun Club. 
Hazlehurst, Miss.— The last meeting of the newly organized 
gun club brought out some fine scores by J. H. Long, Jr., who 
shot at 75 targets, scoring 70. Lilly broke 34 out of 50, McKinnell 
39 out of 50, Hawkins 12 out of 25, H. Miller 36 out of 50, Graves 
36 out of 50, Woods, 60 out of 75, Cranberry 35 out of 50, Lord 
20 out of 25, Salter 16 out of 25, Cranberry 19 out of 25. 
Morrisonville Gun Club. 
Morrisonville, 111., April 14.— The club members got out to-day 
and attempted to wear the rust off the long idle traps. This caused 
some unpleasant remarks. Then some of the gun barrels were 
rusty, and the finger triggers were sadly out of practice. The 
weather was fine, and that assisted ail to try to look pleasant. 
The boys will from this on keep up weekly shoots during the 
summer. The scores, shooting at 25 targets: Stout 23, Reasoner 
24, Gibson 22, Manning 21, Glower 20, Wychopp 21, Turk 19, J. 
H. Stout 17. 
Missouri League Inaugural Tournament. 
Pleasant Hill, Mo., April 8.— The first tournament given by the 
Missouri League of Trapshooters was held here April 7, under 
the auspices of the home club. The League officers were present, 
and each did his share toward making the meeting a success 
and in building up the League with the addition of new members. 
There were some thirty odd of the braves present, and many 
more would have run down from Kansas City had not the weather 
been so threatening. The rain fell thick and fast after 11 A. M. 
up to the time of calling ofif the shoot, when 150 targets had been 
shot at. 
Joe Leggett was present, and after regulating that new trap the 
targets were sent out, going good and plentj'. Possibly some of 
the youngsters thought that the "saiicers" would not break when 
they were wet; but that was no fault of Leggett's. Bob Elliott 
came down from Kansas City, and his shooting as portrayed by 
the scores herewith, will show that the trap was working well. 
J. J. Cornett was there. Though high man by considerable over 
all (in inches), he was third high for the day, being but one less 
than the secretary. 
W. H. Heer and Frank Riehl were present, and their good 
looks and good shooting added much to the enjoyment of the 
occasion. Heer was high man by a good margin, closing with 
142 out of the 150, and the last 50 straight, though rain was in his 
eye. Water was better than Kansas sand in the eye. 
Dave Elliott came also, and the smile was theire, still, though 
not so long as usual, on account of the unceasing rain; yet, in the 
club house, he got off a few speeches as to the Idea! and High 
Gun shells. 
Pleasant Hill shooters were there with their best foot forward, 
and yet they could not show to their best advantage owing to the 
dampness underfoot and overhead. 
The next shoot will be held at the grounds of the Butler Gun 
Club. The scores:

Northville Gun Club. 
Northville, Mich., April 9.— Friday the gun club held a tourna- 
ment which was interfered with by rain and wind. The forenoon 
was spent in the shelter, and in the afternoon, though the wind 
was stronger, a remarkable score was made by Charles Hantz, 
who made the great score of 143 out of 145. George Stanley came 
strong with 139. Then Mr. Osmun, of Pontiac, showed well and 
made 24 straight in a miss-and-out. ' 
The two-man team race was won by George and Merrit Stanley 
with 38 out of 40. The prize was donated by the Peters Cartridge 
Company. 
The scores, shooting at 145 targets, were: C. Hantz 143, G. 
Stanley 139, M. Stanley 137, P. Woods 126, W. Osmun 131, 
Jenkins US, IngersoU 114; Hawthorn shot at 105, broke 85; 
Shaw shot at 75, broke 67; Henry shot at 60, broke 58; Kennell 
shot at 15, broke 12; F. Hantz shot at 70, broke 58; Baldwin 
shot at 30, broke 28. 
Altogether, it may well be claimed that, though the^^shoot was 
limited as to members and hindered by rain, the shooting was of 
the highest amateur order. 
Ames Iowa Tournament. 
Ames, la., April 14. — Tuesday and Wednesday of this week a 
goodly bunch of Iowa shooters met at Ames, la., and passed 
two pleasant days with Dr. Proctor, at the traps. The waatl^r 
was cloudy on the first day, while the second day it was fair 
and windy. 
The promoters of the shoot are entitled to much credit for their 
liberality and the way that they conducted the shoot. The putting 
up of $100 cash- is no small sum for a few enthusiasts to hang up, 
and the good Iowa shots will not soon forget it. 
The trade representatives were C. B. Adams and Chas. Budd, 
who won first and second average in their , class, and one Fred 
Whitney, who was cashiering when not talking his goods. 
John Peterson, Wm. Hoon and Lew Foley were the three high 
amateurs. 
The money was divided on the per cent, plan, four equal 
moneys, and with the average money made tiie division popular. 
The scores:
