Chicago League. 
South Chicago Gun Club captured first place honors 
in the fourth shoot of the Chicago Interurban League 
of Gun Clubs with a team total of 217 x 25s. Evanston 
was second with a total of 212, while the South 
Shore Country Club took third place with 211. Sixty 
shooters were in attendance and forty-nine shot the 
League events. 
R. C. Milieu of the Evanston Club and C. Horix 
of the South Shore tied for high score in the event, 
each breaking 48 x 50. 
The freezing wind which was blowing a gale made 
high scores almost impossible and the scores were 
considerably below the average. 
Over two thousand targets were trapped in practice 
events and several shot the regular club event with 
results as follows:

WM. F. MURKLE, 
.Birmingham Gun Club. 
November 8, 1913. 
The Birmingham Gun Club shot under the hardest 
weather conditions of the season. The wind was blow¬ 
ing a gale, day was very dark and too cold to do good 
shooting. 
The twelve shooters who braved the elements did well 
considering and got some excellent practice for field 
shooting. 
Tom Cassity was high professional, this is his first 
visit to the Birmingham Gun Club in some time. Mrs. 
Garl led the field with a fine score of 87. 
The fire in the little club house felt mighty good be¬ 
tween squads.

Youghiogheny Country Club. 
McKeesport, Pa., November 8, 1913. 
Trap shooters took advantage of Saturdav afternoons 
clearing weather to indulge in some trap shooting at 
the Youghiogheny Country Club, some going up on 
the 1 o’clock car to get a little preliminary shooting 
before the arrival of the regular shooters on the later 
car. 
In this trap shooting, an interesting contest be¬ 
tween J. W. Wilson and Wm. A. Cornelius was as 
follows: 
100 Bird Contest.—Cornelius started out strong but J. 
W. Wilson was easy winner in the end.

The next shoot at the Country Club will be on Satur¬ 
day afternoon November 24, and a big shoot is being 
arranged for on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day 
November 27 at which time those who shoot may shoot 
for chickens, turkeys, etc., as prizes. 
Louisiania State Shoots. 
The Louisiana State Shoot for the year of 1913 was 
held at Monroe, La., October 31 and November 1, with 
a practice day on October 30, under the auspices of the 
Monroe Gun Club. 
The club was favored with fine weather although it 
might have been a bit warmer with comfort to the 
shooters as well as the spectators. Of the latter there 
was quite a good assemblage every day, the tournament 
being brought off in the Fair Grounds during the 
Monroe Fair. Shooting commenced early each day in 
order that it might be gotten through before the main 
attractions at the fair called for attention. The arrange¬ 
ments made by the management of the Monroe Gun 
Club for the comfort of its guests was all that could be 
asked, and the management deserves the thanks of 
those present, and the major part of those same thanks 
should be passed along to J. T. Austin, who was tire¬ 
less in his efforts to make everybody at home. It may 
seem a bit out of place to single out any one man for 
particular praise where everybody lent a willing and 
helping hand, but I guess the Monroe Gun Club offi¬ 
cials and the rank and file won’t feel hurt at my do¬ 
ing so in this instance. 
'the attendance was by no means what was expected 
nor what was deserved, when the prize list and added 
money ($500) is taken into consideration, but the time 
of year militated against the attendance, King Cotton 
just at present demanding the attention of about 90 per 
cent, of those who would be likely under other condi¬ 
tions to attend the tournament. The officials of the 
Monroe Gun Club realize that a more favorable time 
for the holding of the State Shoot could be selected, 
and should that club hold another shoot similar in char¬ 
acter to the one just concluded, it is a safe bet that 
it will be held earlier in the year. And it is also a 
safe bet, a cinch in fact, that the attendance at such 
next shoot will be large enough to show that the efforts 
of the club this year were appreciated by the Louisiana 
shooters, and by those who came from beyond the con¬ 
fines of the state. 
Three sets of traps had been provided so as to in¬ 
sure the early shooting off of the program on each 
of the three days of the tournament. The referees 
were: Floyd Parker, trap No. 1; R. J. Nelson, trap 
No. 2; Ed. McGahey, trap No. 3. The scoring was 
considerably above the average, and so far as I could 
see the “ball-ups” in the scoring line were conspicu¬ 
ous by their absence—all of which goes to show that 
both scorers and referees knew their work and did it. 
The location of the traps was hardly ideal for such 
“early-in-the-day” shooting, as No. 1 faced due south, 
No. 2 faced southeast, and No. 3 about E.S.E. With 
the bright sun shinning all the time, there was quite 
a glare on the backs of the bluerock targets as they 
flew from the three McCrea traps, and some of the 
scores made were remarkable under the conditions, 
notably H. D. Gibbs’ 99 out of 100 from 16 yards on 
the first regular day of the tournament, and Dan 
Barstow’s 297 x 300 on the last day of the shoot, with 
a long run of 115 straight, and 99 out of each 100 he 
shot at. 
Another score that surely deserves special mention 
was the 99 out of 100 made by G. M. L. Keys, a non¬ 
resident of the state and therefore not eligible for the
