The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-07-19
A SHOOT WITHOUT DISPUTE.

There were no disputes over the shoot,
which passed off pleasantly, the judges
being Messrs Reideman and Tucker, and
Mr. Martin of South Carolina, referee. The
only annoyance of the day was the unsatis-
factory way in which the right and left
hand traps worked, as they sent out nearly
as many broken blue rocks as good ones
The heat was intense aud the old colored
trap tender succumbed to it, aud 1t was
some time before he was in condition for
work. A light shower Of rain fell in the
afternoon, which made the sweepstake
shooting much pleasanter than the match
shoot.
THE swEEPsTAKE SHOOTING.
The tournament Of the morning began by
the sweepstake shoots before the team
match, in which there were twenty-six en-
tries. Mr.. Dart of Brunswick and Ward
Allen of Savannah divided first money
each killing six out of seven birds. Mr.
Martin OF South Carolina, Mr.. Newton of
Waycross, and Mr.. Nelson of Brunswick
divided second, shooting off tie OF five out
of seven, each killing five out of six in the
shoot-off. Mr.. Ulmer took third money in
the shoot-otf, and fourth money was
divided
In the other sweepstake before the team
match Messrs. Nelson and DuBose of Bruins
wick took first money, Ulmer, Reideman,
Rocker Of Savannah, and Bergman of
Brunswick divided second, and Dr. Martin
won third.
The third sweepstake shoot was the most
exciting Of the day, as all the best shots were
in it except Mr.. McAlpin, who had to leave
the ground on account of i'll health. There
were twenty-five entries Mr.. j. E. du-
Bignon being the first to face the trap, The
shoot was at five singles and two pair of
doubles Mr.. duBignon killed four of his
five singles and three birds out of his
doubles.
TIE ALL AROUND.
Ward Allen tied him, killing three sim
giles and all of his doubles, Ebberwein killed
four singles and three of his doubles and
Reideman killed three singles and both pair
of doubles. Allen wanted to shoot off to
measure the relative skill between Mr..
duBignon and himself, but as there was
another sweepstake yet TO shoot, and the
hour was getting late, first money was
divided. Westcott, Camnsen, Rocker,
Barnes, Dart and Ulmer tied on six birds
for second money, and IN the shoot-off at
three singles and pair of doubles West
colt, Dart and Rocker killed all their birds
and divided. Nelson, Martin, La Motto,
Jeffords, Jaugstetter, Newton and E. J.
Kieffer tied on five, and as heavy wagers
had been laid on Martin by the Forest City
men, and on Nelson by the Brunswick
crowd, shoot-off was insisted upon. Mar
tin killed three out four singles and. one
bird in the shot at a pair. Nelson missed
his three singles, and got but one bird
out of the pair. and lost third money, while
the outside bets lost were more than double
the money in the pool The fourth money
was divided between O'Connor, Rivers and
Entelman.
SHOT IN THE DARK.
The last sweepstake was shot as the dark
ness was gathering, and again the admirers
Of Martin and DuBignon backed their ia
yorites heavily. There were seventeen en-
tries, but as it was found to be impossible to
shoot the match out before it got too dark
10 see the birds, five men withdrew. The
shoot, which was at eight single birds, was
he best of the day, and closed IN darkness,
