 number ever registered in any one month since the birth of the Interstate Association for the Encouras enent oi Trap Shooting-will take place during the month of May Not so many years ago 125 trap shooting tournaments would have been 8 goodly number to take place during an entire year, but that was before 1 trap shooting was recognized as a sport. For It years trap shooting has been coming along, but it has grown more in the past three years than in the dozen years previous. And it is growing each month. There will be just as many tournaments in June as in May, possibly more; and it was only a few seasons ago that trap shooting was only looked upon as a fall and winter sport. Now it knows no sea- son. In the 35 tournaments registered during the months of March and April there was but one state championship. During the month of May there will be 15 state championship tournaments and one sectional championship. Ken lucky. which was out of the fold last year, Is back again, so that every state will be represented by its champion in the amateur championship shoot in St. Louis. in August. Woolfolk Tender son Is most likely to be the represen- tative of the Blue Grass state, and if he Is the winner of the amateur cham pionship will have to do as we'll as Newcomb did last year to carry away the title, maybe shade better.
