Firs! Day. 
The first day of the tournament, Oct. 17, was ushered 
in with anything but favorable signs for good weather. 
Heavy clouds obscured the sun and threatened to empty 
themselves of their moisture at any moment. It was 
quite cold and a raw. west wind made the journey to 
the grounds not the most delightful of pleasure trips. 
However, later in the day the sun came out, warmed 
things up, and put a very different aspect on the con¬ 
ditions. The wind continued to blow, causing the targets 
to perform a variety of surprising stunts, which at times 
had the best of the experts guessing. During the after¬ 
noon the shooting was witnessed by a large number of 
spectators, to many of whom the sport was an entirely 
new one, and the Post Series this year has undoubtedly 
been productive of good by creating an interest in the 
shooting game where it had not previously existed. A 
number of auto parties visited the grounds, and the lady 
members of the parties evinced a lively interest in all 
pertaining to the sport. They were conducted on a 
tour of inspection, and every detail connected with the 
conducting of a large tournament fully explained to 
them by Secretary Shaner and Mr. Squier. The at¬ 
tendance of shooters was somewhat in excess of last 
year, showing that the scheme of holding a post season 
tournament is gaining in favor among the shooters. 
Ihere were not quite so many entries as had been 
looked for out of the 825 amateurs who were eligible, but 
as it is not intended to rival the Grand American in point 
of attendance, the management were well satisfied. The 
local amateurs who were eligible—and there were a 
considerable number of them—did not turn out in force 
to shoot, though several visited the grounds each day. 
It may be that they thought the competition would be 
too hot, and preferred not to risk the laurels they had 
already won. Forty-eight amateurs and twenty-four pro¬ 
fessionals faced the traps on the opening day, com¬ 
pared to forty-three of the former and twenty-six of the 
latter in 1910. The shooters were late in reaching the 
grounds, owing to some misunderstanding of the trans¬ 
portation company, and it was nearly half past ten when 
the first squad started the music over trap No. 1, and 
4:20 when the last squad sheet was handed into the 
office. In that hive of industry, there was some hustling 
necessary in order to get cleaned up in time to take the 
three-mile auto ride to the station for the train to the 
city, Luther being the only one of the force who showed 
no symptoms of flurry, but who, nevertheless, made haste 
slowly, and finished his figuring of moneys before the 
others were ready. He then amused himself by urging 
them to hurry. 
Mr. Shaner, before calling Squad No. 1 to the score, 
made his usual opening address. Not many words, but 
every one to the point, urging the shooters to assist the 
management in pulling off the tournament smoothly by 
being promptly on hand when their squad was up; to 
watch the score board and have mistakes, if any, cor¬ 
rected at once, and assuring the referees that he would 
back them up if their decisions were questioned. He 
also called attention to the right of the shooters to ap¬ 
point a man to watch the scorer and see that he re¬ 
corded the referee’s decision correctly, and cautioned the 
scorers to watch the board and not the targets. Mr. 
Shaner’s motto is a “square deal for all, no more, no 
less,” and the shooters all know that with him in 
charge they will get all they are entitled to. It is his 
reputation for square dealing and strict impartiality 
which has made all shooters his friends. “You can’t 
say anything mean about Elmer, because there’s nothing 
mean to say.” 
The program was eight events at 25 single targets each, 
and one at 25 pairs, a total of 250 targets; entrance, $2.50 
in each event at singles, and $3 in the event at doubles. 
Money divided Rose system, 4, 3, 2, 1. There was $100 
divided, $30, $20, $15, $13, $12 and $10 among the six high 
gun amateurs who shot in all the events at singles. This 
program was repeated each day. The doubles were shot 
over traps 4 and 5, 10 pairs over the former and 15 pairs 
over the latter. This event attracted a crowd, and 
created more interest among the spectators than the 
events at singles. It is the nearest approach to the 
spectacular which trapshooting affords, and is also ex¬ 
cellent practice for developing quickness of sight, and 
skill in handling the gun. More of it should be done at 
club shoots. The scores were not quite up to the con¬ 
testants’ average in some cases, due partly to the weather 
conditions and partly to the strange grounds. 
The field force was in charge of Mr. Mermod, of St. 
Louis, a well-known trapshooter himself, a good shot and 
a good fellow, and he succeeded in getting together a 
force of men which proved very satisfactory in the per¬ 
formance of their duties. The program was carried out 
without a hitch of any kind. Scores of the first day
