Louisiana State Shoot 
By Our Special Correspondent. 
Shreveport, La., Aug. 8. 
Saturday Aug. 7th saw the close of one of the 
greatest shooting tournaments that had been held 
in Louisiana for years. The attendance while 
not as large as expected was all that could have 
been asked for as it kept the trappers busy from 
8:30 a. m. until late in the afternoon to finish 
the program except the last day which was short 
only 150 targets and same was run off nicely 
without a hitch by 2:30 p. m which gave the boys 
plenty of time to get what was coming to them 
in the office, get to town doll up and take in the 
picture shows or indulge in any other light | 
amusement they saw fit. Nearly all of the 
Southern States were represented at the tourna¬ 
ment as there were amateurs from, Alabama, 
Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kansas, Miss¬ 
ouri and Texas and the last named State was 
here strong having eleven representatives who 
gave a good account of themselves while on the 
firing line as Texas has some of the finest trap 
shots in the Union. The weather conditions the j 
first day Friday 5th were all that a shooter could i 
ask for, bright sunshiny day just a little breeze 
to make it pleasant but not enough to alter the 
course of the target in its Right. The opener was 
FIVE-MEN team championship day, 200 targets 
the first fifty of which was the preliminary for 
$150 worth of merchandise prizes and those who 
had the good fortune to break 90 per cent, or 
better received a prize. The other 150 targets 
were registered and were divided into five 20 and 
two 25 target events the last two events of fifty 
targets was the team championship race which 
was won by the Lone Star State, Louisiana 
having two teams and they only one there was 
not the required number from any other State to 
enter. There was more or less trap trouble this 
day as trap No. 1 worked badly and had to be 
worked on some two or three times but the game 
was not delayed much on this account. The 
center of attraction the first day was squad No. 
7 composed of six lady shooters, Mrs. J. T. Aus¬ 
tin, of Monroe, La., on peg No. 1, Mrs. S. Bourke. 
of Monroe, La., on No. 2 Mesdames. R. W. Dodd, 
C. Schaffer, J. E. Ribb, V. W. Cain, of Shreve¬ 
port on pegs 3, 4, 5, & 6. All of the ladies man¬ 
aged to find a few in the the 50 target prelim¬ 
inary and each received a prize, first honors of 
the squad by annexing the highest score. 
Friday August 6th, the second day of the 
tournament opened bright and crisp without a 
cloud and every indication early in the morning 
pointed to another ideal target smashing day but 
by 9:30 a. m. the wind came up strong and brisk 
from the southeast the result of which there were 
emin $ton.
