La Crosse Gun Club. 
La Crosse, Wis., March 22, 1914 - 
Cold, stiff winds made shooting hard this morning, 
but there was a good sized field of gunners who met 
in friendly competition over the La Crosse Gun Club 
traps and how the shooters were kidded and jollied by 
their comrades as they missed the wind buffeted saucers 
as they either rose or ducked at the critical moment.

LARGE MOUTH BASS. 
(Continued from page 442.) 
anything but fright, for I played with that bass 
as a cat would play with a mouse. Out he 
would swim, with a free line, then gently I 
would reel him in, and he would come to the 
surface and dance for me and try to shake the 
hook out of his mouth. Then I drew him in for 
the last time, intending to free the valiant little 
fighter, and when but a few feet from the bank 
that baby bass gave a plunge that felt like a 
bolting elephant.
