The Post Season Tournament. 
The Interstate Association’s third Post Season tour¬ 
nament will be held at Cincinnati, O., Oct. 15, 16. 17 and 
IS, under the auspices of the Cincinnati Gun Club. 
The Post Season tournament, while still in the ex¬ 
perimental stage, is classed as America’s grandest autumn 
trapshooting event. The conditions which surround the 
competition this year make it open only to the survival 
of the fittest. The standard of excellence, in respect to 
qualifying conditions, limits the number of “eligibles” 
to such an extent that it becomes a contest between 
peers. There will be no "dark horses” at this tourna¬ 
ment. Every entrant will be a known quantity, his 
ability conceded and his right to be numbered among 
the participants unquestioned in every sense of the 
word. 
A special feature in connection with the tournament, 
that must not be overlooked, is that the official amateur 
the year’s averages, regardless of the percentage made 
at the 800 single targets scheduled. Each amateur con¬ 
testant who takes part will start on an equal footing in 
the year’s averages, regardless of the percentake made 
by him in the original qualifying contest. In other 
words, in figuring the yearly averages of amateurs, no 
cognizance will be taken of the scores made at any other 
tournament. This rule should appeal to the entire 
trapshooting fraternity, as it eliminates all possibility ot 
a contestant choosing places to compete where rules are 
loosely administered and conditions more or less favor 
the individual shooter. The averages will thus be com¬ 
puted under conditions fair to all and without the slight¬ 
est advantage to any contestant. 
The Cincinnati Gun Club, under whose direction the 
tournament will be held, is one of the oldest organiza¬ 
tions devoted to the sport of trapshooting. It has a 
record of many years of success, some of the best known 
men of America having mastered the art of inanimate 
target shooting on the Queen City Club’s grounds. The 
club has kept pace with the times, and is well equipped 
and admirably qualified to handle an event of this mag¬ 
nitude. 
Coveted honors await some of America’s foremost 
trapshots. May the best men win. 
Shooting will commence at 9 A. M. sharp each day. 
The Interstate Association Trapshooting Rules, as re¬ 
vised in 1909, will govern all points not otherwise pro¬ 
vided for. 
No guns larger than 12-gauge allowed. Weight of 
guns unlimited. ISlack powder barred. Targets will be 
thrown about 50yds. Price of targets (2 cents each) 
included in all entrances. 
The Interstate Association reserves the right to re¬ 
fuse any entry. The Interstate also reserves the right 
to select two cartridges from each contestant (to test 
tiie same for proper loading), the selection to be made 
at any time when a contestant is at the firing point. 
In case entries are so numerous that darkness or 
other cause prevents the finish of any events the same 
day they are commenced, the management reserves the 
authority to stop the shooting at any time it may deem 
it necessary. In this case, weather permitting, the 
shooting will begin where left off, at 9 A. M. sharp the 
next day. 
"Shooting-names” will not be used at tins tourna¬ 
ment. There will be no practice shooting allowed be¬ 
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA TRAPSHOOTERS’ LEAGUE, WASHINGTON, PA. 
fore the regular scheduled events are <diot each day, nor 
will there be any preliminary events shot. 
Contestants are requested to make entries for the 
entire program each day. Money will be refunded in 
all uncontested events, and the contestant has but to 
notify the cashier of his intention to withdraw. Con¬ 
testants who ask to have their cashier’s slips or score 
cards countersigned, for the purpose of securing any 
bonus offered as an inducement to rise, certain goods, 
will be considered as manufacturers’ agents, and will so 
be classed at future Interstate tournaments. 
Whenever a shooter’s amateur standing is questioned 
in writing by a stockholder, or by a representative of a 
stockholder of the Interstate Association, or whenever 
official exception is taken to anyone having signed the 
Interstate Association’s amateur certificate, and is duly 
submitted to the Interstate Association, the Secretary- 
Treasurer shall communicate with the manufacturer or 
manufacturers whose product is used by said shooter 
and obtain from said manufacturer or manufacturers the 
facts concerning the statements set forth in said cer¬ 
tificate. In case full information is not given by said 
manufacturer or manufacturers, the Secretary-Treasurer 
if he deems it proper so to do, may strike said shooter’s 
name from the list of amateurs. This arrangement shall 
be effective as of Jan. 1, 1908, and thereafter, but shall 
not be retroactive. 
Shooting for “targets only” is open to manufac¬ 
turers’ representatives solely; all other contestants must 
make entry for the purses. 
There will be $1,000 added money, of which amount 
$200 will be in trophies. The remaining $800 will be 
given m average money. 
The official score will be kept on a score sheet in 
plain view of the contestant. It will be the duty of the 
contestant to see to it that the right result is recorded. 
In case of error it will be the duty of the contestant in 
whose score the mistake has occurred to have it cor¬ 
rected before he fires at two more targets, otherwise the 
score must stand as shown on the score sheet. In case 
a contestant’s view' of the score sheet is interfered with 
through any cause, he may refuse to shoot until the 
result of his last shot can be seen. 
The Interstate Association’s tournament Committee 
and Secretary-Treasurer will pass upon all complaints in 
connec-ion with the tournament that are made by con¬ 
testants. Complaints may be made to any member of 
the Tournament Committee who is present at the tour¬ 
nament.

Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, 111., Sept. 22.—Such a grand day as we had 
to-day certainly warranted a good attendance, but only 
twelve shooters came out and toed the mark. Taggart 
landed first honors on the 16yd. targets, breaking 23 
out of 25 in practice and scoring a total of 95 out of 
100 in the two club events. Flewelling went after the 
targets in his usual style when he used to be one of the 
regulars, and cleaned up 94 out of 100, also breaking 45 
out of 50 in two practice events. Thomas broke 23 out 
of 25 in practice, made a total of 93 in the club events, 
47 out of 50 from 20yds., and finished with a score of 23 
cut of 25 from 23yds. Hardy Wolfe did splend'd work 
in the handicap by breaking 48 out of 50 from 18yds., also 
scoring 46 out of 50 in the second club event. 
J. W. Keller landed first place on doubles, breaking 
23 out of 12 pairs. Applegate, Jr., is a ten-year old lad, 
wdto tried shooting targets for the first time to-day and 
broke 20 out of 50. 
Shrigley has just returned from a summer’s outing 
in Wisconsin, and is feeling considerably improved in 
health.

Events 4 and 5 were distance handicaps; No. 6 was at 
23vds. Nos. 7 and 8 were at 12 pairs. 
Sept. 21.—The weather to-day was not very pleasant 
for trapshooting, as it was dark and a cold, drizzling 
rain falling most of the day. Four marksmen con¬ 
cluded to shoot, in spite of the rain. Morehouse, who 
has not been out for over a year, turned in a fine score, 
breaking 23 out of 25 in practice, and then cleaned up 
for a total of 95 out of 100 in the two club events. 
Goode gave him a good race of it, as they tied in the 
practice event, both breaking 23, after which Goode 
landed second place with a total of 92 out of 100 in the 
club events. Itosley is doing splendidly for a beginner. 
Parker had a bad case of "flinches.”
