The Southwestern Handicap. 
The Interstate Association’s first Southwestern Han¬ 
dicap Tournament will be held at San Antonio, Texas, 
April 8 , 9 and 10, under the auspices of the San An¬ 
tonio Gun Club. 
Nestled in the heart of the San Antonio river bottom, 
with the Salado River to the east, the Medina on the 
south, but two miles from a cluster of beautiful springs 
that jointly form the river that bears its name, San 
Antonio, one of the oldest cities in the United States, 
can boas't of a history that made the State of Texas 
famous. There is located the sacred Alamo, a monastery 
erected in 1736 by the early monks from Spain who 
were searching the Southland for the El Dorado, be¬ 
hind whose walls Colonel Travis, Davy Crockett, Bowie 
and the other patriots who gallantly defended them were 
immolated on the altar of Texas liberty, and whose 
■deaths paved the way for the civilization of the South¬ 
west, with more missions of ancient architecture dotting 
the course of the beautiful river tor many miles. For 
many years this charming city was the outpost of civiliza¬ 
tion, and from this point all the freight designed for 
the deeper Southwest was distributed among the many 
settlements that afforded a foothold for the ranchman. 
The advent of the railroads but intensified its im¬ 
portance, which was recognized by the Government in 
that it has^ erected the handsomest military post in this 
country. Fort Flouston, where the headquarters of the 
Department of Texas is situated. 
Let not the reader imagine for one moment that the 
visitor to this charming city will be obliged to camp on 
■the banks of its charming streams and hold his bacon 
against the em.bers of a camp-fire, for be it known that 
long since the adobe buildings have given way to the 
skyscraper, and the hotels of this city have become 
famous for their magnificent quarters as well as famed 
for the excellence of their cuisines, and the visiting 
shooters can be assured of not only being comfortably 
housed and properly fed, but the vast numbers of 
places of amusement are more than adequate to satisfy 
the most blase of travelers. 
There are splendid country clubs equipped with 
golf links, a splendid ball park, where teams of the 
Texas League fight their battles, and ten miles south 
■can be found Mitchell’s Lake, a duck marsh that has 
become famous for its feathered inhabitants. Three 
miles to the east of Mitchell’s Lake there is Blue Wing 
Lake, teeming with bass and croppie, and where ducks 
can always be found in large quantities during the duck 
season. 
San Antonio has always been famous for trap and 
rifle shooting, having entertained large aggregations of 
trap shots as early as 1896, when the first midwinter 
tournament was held. The citizens of this city put up 
a purse of $ 2,000 at that tournament, as well as that of 
1897, and on both occasions the trapshooting talent of 
the United States met in the grandest tournaments ever 
given. 
Once more the Alamo City extends her hospitable 
hands and will welcome the trapshooting fraternity to 
attend the Southwestern Handicap, which will be held 
April 8 to 10, inclusive. One thousand dollars or more 
in cash will be added to the purses, and all visitors 
are assured of the best the country affords. This 
tournament wdll be under the auspices of the Interstate 
Association and the .San Antonio Gun Club, an organi¬ 
zation composed of the best of the Alamo City’s young 
men, and nothing will be spared to make this the 
greatest event of its kind for the year. 
The officers of the gun club are young and ener¬ 
getic, and the grounds the best in the State, having 
been selected with a view to having a clear sky back¬ 
ground, and are easily reached by street car transporta¬ 
tion or automobile.

Hercules Gun Club. 
TEMPLE,_Pa., March 8 .—The wind played havoc with 
the targets in the midst of the snow storm. The scores 
were exceptionally well, considering the unfavorable 
weather conditions. W. S. Behm, of Esterly, landed the 
top-notch honors. J. J. Marberger and Lee Wertz were 
close to his heels. Behm broke 103; Marberger, 100, and 
W'ertz 97 out of 110, which included 5 pairs of doubles. 
Behm shot straight in three events. Marberger shot 
straight in the double event. This bunch will have the 
boys guessing at the coming registered tournaments 
during the season. Wertz is getting into form again. 
C. C. Prutzman shot a good clip, considering his 
heavy iron-work for a 'whole week. 
Wertz, Marberger and Behm shot straight in the 
fourth event. John will have a crow to pick with the 
boys 'when he shoots straight again in the double event. 
Van de Sande, of Lebanon, Pa., paid his respects 
to the boys with 84 out of 100, which is going some. 
Young, of Reading, shot well with 86 out of the whole 
program. John Engle, secretary of the Denver Gun 
Club, shot the full program, landing 78 to his credit. 
Nevergold. of Birdsboro, scored 48 in five events. 
Linsenberger, one of the early sixties entered to-day as 
a pleasure in “Ye days of long ago”—making 42 out of 
his IOC birds. Yoder, Kissinger, Schaeffer and Torney 
are beginners at the traps and need some encourage¬ 
ment. Much credit is due them on their first attempt. 
Jacob Folk, of Temple, had charge of the traps 
and kept them working to perfection. Ed. H. Adams 
was kept away on account of business. Geo. B. Bortz, 
who is afflicted with rheumatism, scored 68 to his 
credit. It must have lessened his pain to score that 
many. 
The girl on Eighth street should show her courtesy 
to coach in these contests, when her best friend lands 
high honors. “Good for ’VValter.” We wish him luck 
all the same. 
The tournament for April 5 will very likely prove 
a great success. All lovers of target smashers are 
cordially invited.
