KLEIN IS A BAD Man.
Amateur Trap sshot Surprises Ex-
perts at the Gilbert Handicap
at Spirit Lake.
In High Score in Target Events and
Tied for Second at Live
Birds.

The close proximity of the holidays. i'll
ness in the familieso of several of the pros
lpective participants and the. recent heavy
SHOWS combined to render the attendance
at the Gilbert handicaps at Spirit Lake
much smaller than was expected. particI.
larry so in the live bird shoot held on the
last day. Many of the old championship
contestants who had pledged themselves
to attend were kept from doing SO by ill
ness or other reasons. MA
A bright sun and glaring snow field re.
suited in few strained eyes ana a. head
ache or tow for the participants, The
scores also were below what they might
have been under other conditions. The
target scores on the first day were as fol-
lows:

Although there were no remarkable
scores made the match developed the Tact
that Klein or "Kleine." as he is more
Familiarity known among knights OF the
trap, is, a. very. bad man to have N the
amateur ranks and the amateur con-
tinsent is praying that he accept one OF
the offers from some ammunition company
and step over among the ranks OF the
professionals. where he undoubtedly be-
longs. In the target shoot he made the
best score of all. professionals included
and in the live bird shoot he made thirty
-four straight with a total kill equal to that
made by Crosby and second only to Gil
bert himself. :: - IT,. -. r. -
Mr.. Saxton of Hardy, Iowa. who shot
very good score on live bird day con
sidering the difficult birds that fell to his
lot, has concluded to issue a challenge tC
Crosby. who now holds the Hazard trophy
to shoot match for the trophy if Crosby
will agree to have it pulled off on the
Spirit Lake grounds. Mr.. Saxton is com
ing to the front rapidly and should make
Crosby hustle to keep this much coveted
prize. er- '.:..,s%
