| ing driven down the valley to try con-
cluslons with the home shooters The

Messrs. Smith, Little, Johnson, Clark.
Lew Williams and Dick Williams The
shooting began at 10 o'clock this morn
ing with practice event, and then the
Missoula shooters held the medal con-
test. In the practice shoot, honors
were evenly divided. Dick Williams
the juvenile shooter from the valley
did the best work in this event, break
ing every one of the 10 birds that con-
stituted the match. He shot well all
day except that he got tired towards
the last. He is one of the best shots in
the team, and will improve, as this is
his first shooting, and he is only Is
years old.
In the medal shoot, Missoula was
given the lead by the visitors and the
latter had an opportunity to see what
they had to do. They made a good es-
innate, as the result of the match event
shows. In the medal contest the Mis-
soula men did not do as we'll as they
have been doing this spring, and in
the succeeding event they did even
worse
The gold medal was won by ]. M.
Evans with score of Is. Walter Ora
ham took away the silver medal with
a score of IL.
Menard, II; Esmag. II; Cove, Is;
Searles, 16; Thompson, IA; T. Evans, 10;
Wood, II: Brayton, 10.
In the class there were three con-
testants, and the score was not a good
one. The results were as follows: Ora
ham, IL; Hunt. 8; Mix, T.
Following this event the teams from
the two clubs did their shooting and all
through the visitors did not do well.
They did better than the home team,
and took away the honors and the
stakes. The score was 20 singles, known
traps, unknown angles, six men to
team: Stevensville-L. Williams, ID.
Williams, Smith, Clark, Johnson, Lit
-le-S6. Observation-Disclosures, Menard,
5earles, Thompson, Brayton, Cove-S4.
Following this event there was a Sc
les OF sweepStake shoots under differ
mt conditions, and after lunch, the
sport was continued until 4 o'clock In
hese events the visitors Jared we'll and
most of them took away a little Mis-
ioula money. Clark was one of the
ones, and his pocketbook was
ull when he climbed onto the wagon ,
or the drive home.
There will probably be a series of .
hese club matches this season and the
lext one will be shot at the Stevens |
lille grounds.
The Missoula baseball team played
is first game of the season this aft 6
rnoon. They went against the Fort !
dissoula team this afternoon and
colonel Burt's pets took them into
amp by a score of 16 to TO- Camp
'ell and Harpster were the battery for
he Missoulas and Green and Holt did .
he work for the fort team. For seven
innings the game was an even one,
nd at the end of the seventh the score
vas to in favor of the Missoula a
cam. In the last two innings the town /
cam went to pieces and by a series Of \
1ild throws gave the soldiers a lead h
hat they could not overcome. At the
nd of the last inning the score was 16
D 10 and the boys had had once more a
he lesson taught them that they can a
OF play ball unless they practice If
hey want to do anything at Spokane
MS week they will have to get up early
nd sit up late and play ball all of the
me.
O'Toole is an excellent captain, how | k
yer. and he will get the play out Of
ne boys If IL is in them and it sure
Z is.
