I?

Fisher tied on 49 each. In Class B, Elwell was high with 
47. while in Class C, Kreitzberg was high with 44. Sloan 
and Clark, visitors, scored 49 and 43 respectively. 
The eighteen-man team shoot, 50 targets per man. on

F. Hall and J. H. Smith. Capt. Hall’s team won with 
a total of 764 to 750 out of a possible 900. The shoot to

It

there was close competition and high scoring. Henry 
Koegle scored 50 in the merchandise event, from 18yds. 
Others made so many 49s .and 48s, etc., as to make those 
scores look common. In a sweepstake, Charles T. Day, 
Jr., long-time New Jersey champion, broke 25 from 22 
yards. In a match between P. J. Coffin and W. S. 
Colfax, the former won, 25 to 22.

attendance, though everyone present enjoyed himself. 
The gun club of Eugene, Ore., made a strong bid for 
the next year’s tournament. 
•f

Bernard Waters. 
Kansas—Missouri League Tournament. 
The Kansas-Missouri League shoot, July 20-21, was 
held under the auspices of the Oklahoma City Gun Club, 
and proved to be a decided success from every stand¬ 
point. The attendance was somewhat short of expecta¬ 
tions, but nevertheless there were thirty-six shooters who 
shot the program through, and the local club has no 
kick coming. 
The weather was perfect throughout the tournament, 
and good scores were made. 
Homer Clark, the young professional from East Alton, 
Ill., won high professional average for the tournament 
with the good score of 395 out of 400, including a run of 
192 straight'. 
L. E. Reed, of Enid, Okla., was second with 389, and 
Ed. O’Brien third with 373 
Fremont Huston, of Perry, Okla., won the high ama¬ 
teur average with 390 out of 400. O. H. Nutt, of Okla¬ 
homa City, and Harvey Dixon, of Oronogo, Mo., tied 
for second with 385 each. M. Andrews, of Carnegie, 
Okla., finished third with 383. 
Geo. K. Mackie, of Scammon, Kans., won the handi¬ 
cap event for the Boasen cup on the first day, breaking 
25 straight from the 19yd. mark. George was all alone 
on 25, and there were no ties to shoot off. 
The Lee-Huckins Hotel handicap proved to be an in¬ 
teresting event for the wind-up of the last day. There 
were twenty-seven shooters who took part in the handi¬ 
cap and excellent scores were made. O. H. Nutt and 
Fred Tavlcr tied in this event with 49 out of 50 each, 
Nutt shooting from 20yds. and Taylor from IS. In the 
shoot-off at 25 targets, Nutt won, 24 to 21. 
Everybody had a good time at a good shoot in a good 
town. The traps worked fine and there was not a single 
breakdown during the entire tournament. 
George Mackie sure had a cinch on that cup. Well, 
if any one was entitled to it George was, and the boys 
were all pleased to see him win it. 
Ed. O’Brien had trouble with his gun. and did not 
shoot nearly up to his average. 
Frank Faurote, the old-time professional from Texas, 
shot the program through, but fell a little short of his 
average. Frank beat the bunch on practice day with 
97 out of 100. 
Lou Reed, of Enid, Okla., shot a mighty race, con¬ 
sidering what little shooting he has done at the traps 
during the past year. 
Dave Harriman, of Pawnee. Okla., shot a steady gait 
from the beginning, breaking 189 each day, and finished 
with fourth amateur average. 
The Lawton and Carnegie boys came up and shot the 
program through, and all made good scores. Come 
again, boys, we are always glad to have you with us. 
That genial old gentleman from Carnegie, Okla., made 
the younger shooters sit up and take notice, regardless 
of his advanced age of sixty-four years. And this is 
only his third tournament, too. 
Sam Smith got right and made a flying finish the last 
day, breaking his last 100 straight, and finished with 
only five down in 200. 
Harve Dixo,n shot in his usual form and tied with 
O. H. Nutt for second amateur average with 96V4. 
Harve is a steady shooter, and always near the top at 
any shoot. 
Several of the Oklahoma boys joined the League. It 
will be put to a vote ^t the next regular League meet¬ 
ing to make Oklahoma a member of the League and 1 
change the name to the Kansas-Missouri-Oklahom-* 
League. 
It is not a common occurrence for Dave Elliott to 
make a mistake in the cashier’s office, but Dave got in 
such a big hurry to catch that train on the last day that 
he overlooked a hand and counted himself a few dollars 
short. But this is perfectly excusable, Davey. 
E. V. Fisher shot a good race in the handicap after 
so much ^trouble in the latter part Of the regular pro¬ 
gram. Ffsh. had trouble with the recoil absorber on his 
gun the last day, and the result was a badly chafed' 
shoulder. 
Fred Bell says he was too busy keeping the trap boys 
going right to break many targets. Fred shot better 
than 91 per cent at that. Fred is sure a hustler at a 
shoot and busy at something, all the time.
