SIOUX CITY WINS TROPHY. 
Perfect Score Hung Up. 
Shooting in phenomenal form, and every man making 
the team turning in a perfect score in the last match, 
the Soo Gun Club of Sioux City annexed the telegraphic 
trapshooting trophy which has been in competition for five 
months, with the wonderful total of 1,214 x 1,250. The Soo 
Gun Club’s nearest competitor was the New Columbus Gun 
Club of Columbus, Nebraska, who were but seven tar¬ 
gets behind, with a total of 1,207 x 1,250. The Denver 
Rod and Gun Club of Denver, Pa., was next in line 
with an even 1,200 breaks, and the Paleface Club of 
Boston, which led the race during January and Feb¬ 
ruary finished in fourth place with a score of 1,195 x 
1,250. 
The Soo Gun Club’s victory came as a result of the 
untiring efforts of the club officials in keeping up the 
interest of the club members and getting them out to 
shoot, and the ability of the members to break targets. 
Sioux City papers record the fact that on May 17th, the 
date of the last match, fully sixty shooters turned out to 
help the club win the telegraphic championship. 
That the members of the Soo Club were anxious and 
determined to win, was evidenced when A. M. Shaw of 
Delmont, South Dakota, rode all night on a train ~ to 
participate in the contest. Mr. Shaw y s trip was not in 
vain, either, as he was one of the ten men who came 
through with a clean score. Several other non-resident 
members of the club also, were on hand and participated 
in the contest. 
The telegraphic matches extending over the months of 
January, February, March, April and May created a 
world of interest and as a spectacular feature, was one 
of the best ever staged in trapshooting circles. The clubs 
which participated were all enthusiastic in their desire 
to turn in good scores and make a good showing, and 
owing to the national character of the matches, all clubs 
derived much desirable publicity, as the scores were 
reported and watched with interest all over the country. 
It is to be hoped that the telegraphic trapshooting 
matches which were conducted so successfully, will re¬ 
sult in several similar leagues during the coming winter,
