Anaconpa, Mont.—‘Pull!”’ Bang! ‘How in the world 
did I miss that one? It looked like a balloon. I guess 
it was dirigible.”’ This was the talk heard at the traps of 
the Anaconda Rod and Gun Club, Friday, May 18, from 
early morn until late at night. More than fifty of the 
best shooters in the State enjoyed the target practice 
for the opening day of the tournament of the State 
Sportsmen’s Association. There were more than sixty 
gunners in every event, not including professionals, from 
the East and West. Every detail in the way of accom- 
modations had been carefully looked after by the com- 
mittee of the local gun club haying the shoot in charge, 
and the visitors were entertained like long lost brothers 
just returned. At the grounds tempting lunches were 
served, and the best of everything was considered none 
too good for the shooters. ‘ 
Several months ago the club appointed B. D. Mahan, 
L. G. Smith and Frank Clinton to look after all details, 
and see that everything was attended to in a proper man- 
ner. New traps were put in, and two full carleads of 
targets were stored away, ready for use. The trap 
house has been enlarged, and a perfect system of scoring 
devised. 
Much praise is due the committee for the smoothness 
and creditable way the shoot was conducted. 
The big event Friday was the shoot for the Brownlee 
medal, at 20 singles, reverse pull. E. F. Confarr won 
the medal at the last State tournament, and received 60 
per cent. of the. purse and a chance to win it again; but 
luck was against the crack shot, and Smith, of Butte, 
and N. McMillan led on 20 straight. In the shoot-off 
at 10 singles, Smith captured the medal with 9, and Mc- 
Millan had to be content with 7. Mr. M. B. Brownlee, 
formerly of Anaconda, but now a prominent banker of 
Spokane, the donor of the medal, arrived ‘Thursday, and 
tried to win this handsome trophy himself. Many wished 
him success, but his score prevented the capture of the 
yrize. 
There was perfect weather for the opening day of the 
shoot, but it was no more perfect than the work of the 
Officials, and the two combined made it a most pleasura- 
ble occasion, both for the shooters and the spectators. 
Not a “kick‘* was registered throughout the shoot, the 
traps worked splendidly, and everybody connected with 
the tournament officially, from Jim Head, the general 
factotum, to the boys who carried the score sheets to 
the secretary’s den, tried hard to do their full duty, and 
were more than anxious to please. Secretary Cochrane 
had every detail of the scoring arranged, so that in less 
than two minutes cards were posted showing the exact 
standing of each shooter, and the amount of money due. 
These cards were posted so the spectators, as well as the 
shooters, could at a glance tell the winners. Before the 
shooting for the day was over, the scores were complete, 
and in less than thirty minutes thereafter the exact 
amount due each shooter was placed in an envelope and 
ready for delivery. The shooting commenced promptly 
at 9 and lasted until 4:15 in the afternoon. It was a day 
of splendid sport, but all were glad to get through so 
early. 
Neill McMillan, of Idaho Falls, was high gun in the 
general average, and F. Moseley, of the same town, tied 
for second place with Eugene Confarr, of Livingston. 
Among the.professicnals, H. C. Hirschy' was high gun, 
with Morrison, Plank and Waters grouped together, just 
a bird behind. Drumgoole, of Anaconda, was not in 
good form. He was under the care of a physician, who 
advised him not to shoot, but the game was too interest- 
ing and enticing to prevent him from taking a chance on 
his life, and a “‘little thing like that’? did not prevent him 
from making the other boys go some. 
Missoula walked off with fhe three-man team_ shoot 
with a score of 69. It was a 25-bird race, and Forbes 
made a straight, which helped some. Woodworth and 
Woody managed to miss three targets each. The Mis- 
soula men did good work throughout the shoot, and 
every one of them figured in the money. The shooters 
from Salt Lake did creditable work, but they were not 
pleased with the background of black rocks across Warm 
Springs Creek. None of them said a word about it, but 
it was plain to all that they had trouble in getting sight 
of the birds.
