AL HEIL, 
High Amateur at Singles and Doubles—Post Season Tournament. 
WOOLFOLK HENDERSON, 
High Professional at Singles and Doubles—Post Season Tournament. 
It was a very pleasant affair, and the entire lack of for¬ 
mality made it all the more enjoyable. 
The members of the office force at the tournament 
wish to register a protest against the insinuations of one 
of the old-timers of the club, viz., Bob Ward. He looked 
through the window to-day, and dubbed the place “the 
monkey house.” An explanation or an apology is due 
from him. 
It was learned at this shoot, quite by accident, that 
Fred Gilbert's favorite outdoor sport is dove shooting. 
Another interesting fact was brought to light at this 
tournament, and that is, that Lester German never shoots 
out of season. He positively declared that he would 
not be guilty of such an action, even to ascertain the 
pattern of his gun. 
This being the last of the season’s Interstate tourna¬ 
ments, the boys are anxious to know what Elmer Shaner 
will do all winter. 
A banner was displayed on the house veranda, call¬ 
ing attention to the coming Indian shoot on July S, 9 
and 10, 1913, to be held at beautiful Cedar Point. O. 
The big chiefs surely believe in the efficacy of 
advertising, and are starting in early to round up a 
crowd. Well, a better place for a week’s outing, or a 
better bunch of boys to have a good time with would 
be hard to find.

Third 
Day, 
Oct. 17. 
\\ hen the shooters awoke on the morning of this 
day they found the sun hidden by thick clouds, and 
every indication that the fine weather of the previous 
days was at an end. Later in the morning, however, it 
partially cleared off, and the balance of the day was all 
that could be desired. Elmer Shaner was rather in¬ 
clined to look on the dark side, and predicted the worst; 
but meeting with no encouragement, he became more 
cheerful and hopeful that this Post Season would hold 
the record for uninterrupted good weather. 
There was a slight delay in starting, as Superintend¬ 
ent Gambell desired to line up the shooters in front of 
the camera before any of them got away. This ordeal 
over, the first squad took its place on the firing line at 
9:10, and at 2:07 the last squad in the event at doubles 
was handed into the office, and the day’s shoot was 
over. The attendance had dropped off a little, fifty-one 
shooters going through the entire program, and one 
man taking part in six of the eight events. As the end 
of the tournament approached, many of the contestants 
and spectators gathered at the bulletin board, watching 
the returns and getting a line on the high men in the 
endeavor to pick the winner. R. H. Bruns, who was the 
favorite at the close of Tuesday’s events on account of 
his fine work here and the reputation he had made at 
Denver, went to pieces and did not land in the day’s 
average money. The strain was just a little too much 
for him, and he could not maintain the gait at which 
he had started out. He was still a favorite for place in 
the first flight at the finish, but his chances for cap¬ 
turing high average were considered lost. The amateurs 
did not keep quite so nearly even with the professionals 
as on the other days. Geo. Roll was high man with 19^; 
then came Volk, Heil, Ridley and Barto with 191 each, 
fallowed by Dixon with 190. In the event at doubles 
with fifteen amateurs entered, Volk and Heil tied for 
first place on 42 Kaliler, Huntley, II. E. Smith, Noel 
and Dixon were second with 41 each; Barto and Daniels 
41 each. 
There were some shifts in the standing of the pro¬ 
fessionals also. Crosby, while still shooting a fast pace, 
and putting up a better score than on the other days, 
was edged out of first place by C. G. Spencer, who broke 
19/ to the former’s 196. Third place had three occupants, 
Freeman, Maxwell and German, with 194 each; German 
and Bills, third with 42 each. The amateurs were well 
bunched for the -three days at 600 single targets, only 
6 targets separating first and fourth men. Ridley was at 
the head with 578; Heil second with 575; Bruns, despite 
his poor showing for the day. was only one target behind 
second man and got third place on 574; Roll in fourth 
place with 572. 
Heil had a lead of three targets for the three days’ 
doubles, 75 pairs, with 127 to Volk’s 123; Barto was next 
with 116, and Ridley two targets behind with 114. 
Among the professionals, Crosby’s lead in the singles 
was such as to make him a sure winner of high average. 
He had 586 to his credit, S targets ahead of his nearest 
competitor, Clark, who had 578; Maxwell was third with 
576, and Henderson fourth with 574. 
In the doubles Day had a good lead with 136; Max¬ 
well and Henderson were tied for second on 129; Gilbert, 
Clark and Spencer third with 124 each. 
The wise ones picked the winner of the high average 
trophy on all targets, singles and doubles, when the 
returns for the three days were in. Heil had a lead of 
10 targets over Ridley, with 702 to 692; Barto was third 
with 6S3. 
The race among the professionals was much closer, 
only 3 targets separating the first three men. Maxwell 
was at the head of the list with 705; Henderson with 
703 and Homer Clark third with 702.
