Game and Fish Protective Assoc
citation TO Begin Mt Wash
ingtOn Park To-day.

the twentieth annua tournament of the
Missouri State Game and Fish Protective
Association. that will open this morning
at Washington park. will be enlivened by
the presence of women, who will enter in
some of the events and compete with the
Old-timers who have been getting pieces of
the money since the first shoot was held.
The fair Diana is Mrs. ID. II. Day. of Du-
luth. wife of DIR. j. II. Day, who will
attend the tournament as the special ren-
r~esentative of the Western Field and
Stream. of St. Paul. DIR. and Mrs. Day
reached the city yesterday morning and
are at the Midland.
Mrs. Day is a young woman and has not
been shooting long at the traps and claims
to be nothing but an amateur, and as such
will enter the events. She has never made
any trips attending the tournaments until
this year. when she decided TO take the
trip with her husband and enjoy the tour
naments with him. She was at the vari-
Gus shoots held in Iowa and at the Des
Moines tournament broke 100 out of 120
targets, and in the three days shoot made
an average of 81 per cent in her scores. In
several of the events she made records SUI
periOr to those of Jim" Elliott, and for

hit dripping through the innings ana

few thunderbolts that scooted across the
plate with a zig-zag twist that bafied the
batsmen and kept the fans in a state of
nervous prostration.
Mcfarland pitched a good, steady game
for the Blues, but was not effective at
critical moments. In the ninth inning The
Brewers hoped onto his assortment OF
curves and collected a quartette of singles
and a trio of runs. He gave one base that
afterward was turned into a run by the
visitors and he chucked the ball wide CT

come prancing down the line and canter

McVicker struck out three times in rapid

and a splendid crowd was present to see
the contest. The fact that the team is so
far down in the percentage column dld not
detract from the attendance. which goes
to prove that Kansas City Is one OF the
hest baseball towns in the league. There
was some pretty playing by both teams.

How They Do IL in Louisville.

The following from a Louisville exchange
crowds methods OF dealing with umpires
who dis1lease them:
Umpire Sheridan was again tncapacitat-
ed for honest work Friday. and il came
near resulting in personal injury to him.
Louisville lost the game fairly, but the
hleachers. singing under the robbery of
the previous day. were quick to resent his
adverse decisions. One. in the fifth inning.
was so palpably unfair that, led by two
or three men. several hundred bleacher-
ties started into the field after him. The
police saved Sheridan. though they were
con PEELED TO club the crowd back from
the third base lire. After the game a
large crowd lay in wait for Sheridan. At
President Pulliam's request Sheridan re-
manned IT the park for half an hour after
the game. Even then a crowd was in wait
ing. and twenty police formed in a hollow
s',uare to escort him to "a street car, and
three or four rode uptown on the car with
him.

the three days her average was but y per
cent behind that of Charlie Budd, the crack
shot who takes part in all of the matches
in the country. In fact, since she left
home she has had a great measure of sue
cess in her shooting and has made sew
eral of her competitors hustle to save
themselves. She has not decided yet what
| events she will take part in during the
tournament, but she viii get into enough
of them to show what she can do: Her
record at Des Moines in breaking l5 out
of l20, targets thrown from unknown traps
at unknown angles is one that will be hard
for many experienced shooters to beat, in
fact. money is frequently won on poorer
work. DIR. Day, her husband, Is also an
experienced shot, and will be in many of
the events. He has been Working quite
hard during the trip and has suffered some
from lame shoulder, but is about over that
trouble ana will try his luck in Kansas
City.
The prospects are that a large number of
strong shooters will be OF hand for the
opening tournament. In the number now
at the Midland is a delegation of four from
Monroe, Ia, who came here to take part
for the first time. Another delegation of
three from Arapahoe. Neb., is at the same
place and will enter the shoot. In the list
of others are the names of such shooters
as +. s. Parmalee. of Omaha: JOIN Parker,
of Detroit. better known as Jack Parker;
Simon Glover. of Rochester,; II. McMurchy,
of Syracuse: Fred Gilbert. of Spirit Lake.
Ia; J. Block, of Cincinnati, and Charles
Garrison. of Manhattan, Kas.
There Will be a large number of arrivals
this morning from the nearby cities. St.
Louis and St. Joe. Carthage, Springfield.
Joplin and many other of the cities of the
state will send teams, while Kansas has al
ways been well represented at all of the
shoots. The fair manner in which the
tournament has been managed and the in
terest always shown has made the reputa-
ton of the Kansas City tournament en-
Viable

that he would don a uniform and get lnto

will go into the field, but he will assist
Captain Carney in the work of managing
tho team. The presence of the old-time
war horse on the coaching line should have
a good effect and may result in breaking

The Florence & Cripple Creek Railway

powerful electric motors for steam. The
grades are so heavy on the lines leading
TO Cripple Creek that much of the power
of the steam locomotives IS wasted in lift

able 10 trail five or six cars. while IL IS
claimed that electric motors of double the
power will weigh much less than the steam
engines, having the additional
