SHELLS demonstrate their superiority in this, the first big tournament of 
the season. Trap shooters are wise to the fact that the brand of shells 
gives them a “hunch” in any race. Insist on having **steel where steel belongs.’*

City Park Gun Club. 
New Orleans, La., April 16. —Bart Lewis and Geo. 
W. Maxwell won high amateur and professional aver¬ 
ages at the three-day tournament of City Park Gun Club 
finished here to-day. 
Guy Macmurdo, who last year won the amateur 
championship of Louisiana, defeated all of the other 
Louisiana amateurs in a 50-bird race for the champion¬ 
ship. He broke 47 out of 50, and W. W. Cocke took 
second with 46. 
An unusual feature of this race was that by beating 
Mr. Cocke by the one bird in this match, Macmurdo 
evened up with hint exactly on the total for the entire 
three days. By doing this, too, Macmurdo and Cocke 
tied for the third high amateur average, which was 
won by Bart Lewis, the sensational shooter from Sanga¬ 
mon county. Ill., and in which John Livingston of 
Springville, Ala , was second. 
With Maxwell taking the high average among the 
professionals, W. K. Crosby was second and H. D. 
Gibbs, of Union City, Tenn., was third. 
The shooting Wednesday was the best of the tourna¬ 
ment. All conditions were favorable; the weather was 
just _ right, bright and warm, and little breeze was 
blowing to make the flying “birds” do erratic “stunts” 
in the air. As a result the averages were considerably 
better in practically every case than were those of either 
Monday or Tuesday, and the races were closer. 
1 he shoot.ng of Maxwell and Lewis, of course, pro¬ 
vided the features of the day, for both put up an 
article of marksmanship that has seldom been seen over 
a local range. The idea of Mr. Maxwell, with but one 
arm, being able to outshoot such experts as “Big Bill” 
Crosby, “Pop” Heikes, Jim Day, Walter Huff, Ben 
Schwartz, and the like, seemed almost unheard o’f, yet 
this same Maxwell has done this very thing each day of 
the matches. 
Lewis broke 95 4-5 of the 500 targets that he shot at 
in the final two days. His record was 479 out of 500. 
The match for State championship was the feature 
event of the tournament for the amateurs of Louisiana, 
and provided an exciting finish. The strongest con¬ 
tenders were Macmurdo and Cocke. The event con¬ 
sisted of the final 50 birds shot at by the amateurs dur¬ 
ing the day. Previous to the beginning of this race, 
Cocke had led Macmurdo during the day’s shoot by one 
bird, and until the race was half over it appeared that 
he would maintain this lead. Finally he dropped one, 
however, and a moment later, Macmurdo did likewise. 
Then both missed again, and once again. Still Cocke 
had the lead, though they were even in the title race. 
Shot after shot was made successfully until Cocke over¬ 
looked something on a left-quartering bird, andjMac- 
murdo broke straight to the end, and won and tied 
for the day’s average with his competitor. 
The tournament was one of the most successful 
ever held it; this city. The quality of the shooting 
was far better than usual, and the shooters comprised 
one of the greatest squads ever seen here. Everything 
moved smoothly, owing to the unceasing efforts of Capt. 
J. M. Lionnet and Acting Secretary Arthur Saucier, 
assisted by Sag Harris, the veteran clerk of shooting 
tournaments. The shooters, too, were highly pleased 
with their treatment here, and all promised to come back 
as soon as they were notified of another shoot, or 
sooner, if possible. Ten States were representd, includ¬ 
ing all of the Southern States as well as Nebraska, 
Kansas. Illinois and Ohio. 
There were 21,840 targets thrown during the regular 
program;

Narine and Field—Bensonharst. 
Bensonhurst, April 19.—On the home grounds the 
Bensonhurst tars got mixed in their nautical terms and 
called starboard to the trap helmsman. He, having been 
Danielized, steered the bird the wrong way, with the 
result that the skippers from the Marine and Field beat 
’em to the tune of 47 targets. The weather was—well, 
it wasn’t good enough to talk about. C. Ferguson Jr., 
of Bensonhurst, was high gun with 76 out of 100. S. P. 
Hopkins, of Marine and Field, was second with 73, and 
C. D. Sayre, third, with 71. The scores:
