The Weslern Handicap. 
The Interstate Association’s Seventh Western Han¬ 
dicap tournament will be held at Kansas City, Mo., 
Aug. 14-16, under the auspices of the Kansas City Gun 
Club. 
Kansas City, in Jackson county, Missouri, the second 
city in size and importance in the State, is situated on 
the right bank of the Missouri, immediately below the 
mouth of the Kansas River, 235 miles west by north of 
St. Louis. It is a large railroad center, several im¬ 
portant lines meeting here, and giving the city large 
facilities for commanding the trade of western Mis¬ 
souri. Kansas, northern Texas, Oklahoma and part of 
Colorado and New Mexico. The business in agricultural 
products is very large, the beef and pork packing busi¬ 
ness being especially great, and growing with great 
rapidity. The city was la'd out in 1830, hut its growth 
may be said to date from 1860, when its population num¬ 
bered less than 5,000. 
Famous for its beautiful parks, boulevards, magnifi¬ 
cent homes, enterprising citizens, progressive municipal¬ 
ity and generous hospitality, it is a place to be desired 
by those seeking pleasure or business. Its general pic¬ 
turesqueness and natural attractions cannot be exagger¬ 
ated, while in point of beauty and completeness its 
roads and drives cannot be surpassed. These alone fur¬ 
nish a neverending change of scenery and beauty. 
It was a wise choice when Kansas City was chosen 
as the. logical point to hold the Western Handicap tour- 
ment in 1912. Located as it is in the geographical center 
of the United States, with its vast net of railways radiat¬ 
ing to every habital point of the Middle West territory, 
it is an ideal city to reach quickly and conveniently from 
all points in this vast scope of country, which has such 
a large following of sportsmen who love the pleasures of 
trapshooting. 
The Kansas City Gun Club is the oldest organization 
of its kind in the State of Missouri, it having' been 
brought into existence more than thirty years ago, and 
has been in continuous existence ever since. This in 
itself insures visiting sportsmen that there will be noth¬ 
ing left undone to meet their most exacting requirements. 
The Kansas City Gun Club is from Missouri, and it 
will “show you” from the first toss of your haf into the 
ring—the more hats the merrier. Special efforts will be 
made by all gun club members to see that visiting sports¬ 
men are entertained, and their stay in the city made a 
pleasant one. 
Kansas City has the shooting grounds and local 
management, and will overlook no chance to make 
memorable the Seventh Western Handicap tournament. 
The conditions governing the Western Handicap are 
100 targets, unknown angles; handicaps 16 to 23yds.; 
high guns, not class shooting; $200 added to the purse; 
the number of moneys into which the purse will be 
divided will be determined by the number of entries. 
Entrance $10, the price of targets being included. The 
v inner of first money is guaranteed $250 or more. If 
first money falls below $250, the difference will be made 
good by the Interstate Association. A trophy will be 
presented by the Interstate Association to the amateur 
contestant who makes the highest score. 
Regular entries must be made at the cashier’s office 
cn the shooting grounds before 5 P. M., Thursday, 
Aug. 15. Penalty entries may be made after Thursday, 
Aug. 15, up to the time the first gun is fired in event 
No. 5, Friday, Aug. 16, by paying $15 entrance, targets 
included. 
The money will be divided as follows: Regular pro¬ 
gram and double target events, Rose system; ratio of 
points 5, 3, 2, 1. Optional sweepstakes, percentage sys¬ 
tem, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent., class shooting; ten en¬ 
tries and under, three moneys, 50, 30, and 20 per cent. 
To be eligible for the Squier money-back system a 
contestant must compete in all regular program events. 
The special events at double targets, and the West¬ 
ern. Handicap are separate from the regular program, 
and it is optional with the contestant whether or not he 
makes entry for them. The Squier money-back system 
dees not apply to the double-target events and the 
Western Handicap. 
The first tournament was held at Denver, Colo., in 
1906, open to all, and had a total of 227 entries in the 
main event. W. R. Crosby, of O’Fallon, Ill., handicapped 
at 21yds., was the winner, with a score of 97 out of 100. 
The second tournament was also held at Denver, in 
1907 with 202 entries in the main event. T. E. Graham, 
of Ingleside, Ill., handicapped at 19yds., was the win¬ 
ner with a score of 99 out of 100 shot at. 
The third tournament was held at Des Moines, la., 
m 1908 with 143 entries in the main event. B. F. 
Elbert, of Des Moines, la., handicapped at 18yds., was

winner with a score of 97 out of 100. 
The fifth tournament was held at Des Moines, la., 
in 1910; total number of entries in the main event, 119.

was the winner with a score of 96 out of 100 shot at. 
The sixth tournament was held at Omaha, Neb., in 
1911; total number of entries in the main event, 188. 
William Ridley, of What Cheer, la., handicapped at 
19yds., was the winner with a score of 98 out of 100.
