write-up of our tournament, just closed: 
J. M. Broop. 

The Oklahoma and Indian Territory Sportsmen’s As- 
sociation held their annual tournament at Blackwell, 
Okla., May 1, 2 and 3, and was declared by all present 
the best ever. The weather was fine, excepting Wednes- 
day forenoon, when a shower, followed by a little wind, 
had a tendency to: make the targets a little erratic. The 
Blackwell boys did everything possible to make the 
visitors welcome, and the shoot a success. Chris. Gott- 
lieb managed the shoot and kept everything moving in 
his usual manner. ‘The traps were under the manage- 
ment of Harry E. Sherman, of the Dickey Clay Mfg. 
Co., of Kansas City, Mo., and were kept in such excel- 
lent condition that not a delay marred the pleasure of 
the shoot. 
The trade was well represented by the following gen-- 
tlemen: Tom A. Marshall, Wm. Heer, C. B. Adams, 
and missionaries H. R, Patterson, Marshal Sharp, Chas. 
G. Spencer, Chris. Gottlieb, W. H. Aughtr, Ed. O’Brien, 
F. M. Faurote, Jas. S. Day, Harry E. Sherman and 
C. S. Bahney. 
Tuesday, May 1, opened with a 10 live-bird event, han- 
dicaps 28 to 33yds., with thirty-four entries. Charlie 
Spencer, C. B. Adams, Tom Ray and Fred Bell divided 
first money with a straight score; second money went 
to O’Brien, Faurote, Hartman, Houston, Cornelius and 
Wells, with 9 each; eight divided third money and seven 
got in on fourth. 
Following the live-bird ‘event, four target events were 
shot aggregating 75 targets. O’Brien and Ford divided 
honors on 73 each; Charles Spencer with 72, second; 
Faurote and Houston came in for third with 70 each. 
Wednesday evening, after the regular target events, the 
Tishomingo medal event, open to amateurs of the two 
territories, at 25 targets, brought out a field of fourteen 
entries. J. M. Blood, of Blackwell; F. Houston and Joe 
Appleman, of Perry, tied on 24 each; in the shoot-off . 
Blood and Appleman again tied on 24, and in the final 
Blood went 25 straight to Appleman’s 22. 
Marshal Sharp had charge of the office, and every- 
body’s money was ready for them whenever they called.
