LIVE BIRD STARS
DOWN TO WORK
Results of Kansas City Event
AnXiously Awaited
in This City

Local shots are anxiously awaiting
announcement of scores from Kan
sas City. The worlds championship
live bird shoot is on in that city
and will be continued all week. Mon
day was day for getting into prac-
tice and warming up events featured
the program. The big race was to
start Tuesday. The Kansas City Star
says:
The fourteenth annual midwinter
trapshooting tournament, with
marksmen from eight states enter
ed. is on at Elliott's Blue River
Park. Preliminary day probably will
bring out only fifty or sixty entries,
but beginning Tuesday a field of one
hundred shooters are expected to
face the traps when the first events
of the regular program will start.
Although war conditions were eX-
pected to have a telling effect on the
annual gun classic this winter, the
entry list promises to be the largest
in the tournaments history. The
men in trapshooting, with a few eX-
ceptions, are over the draft age, and
many old marksmen, who have been
here in the past, again will be on
hand to compete for the prizes and
purses at stake. The added money
and prizes for the tourney will
amount to SIZE.
