THE SHOTGUN TOURNAMENT.
Savannah Crack Shots Win Most ofthe
PRICES.

| PrlZeS.
The shotgun tournament at the Forest
City grounds yesterday, under the auspices
of the Merchants week committee, being
free to all, was largely attended, and drew
many excellent out of town shots, but the
Savannah men managed to get the most of
| the prize money. The day was a pleas ant
one, but the wind was rather high for shoot
ing, and as it was the first Blue Rock shoot
| ing the Savannah clubmen have done in q
| tournament, it puzzled them for awhile, but
they soon got accustomed to it and i'm
proved in their work. The following are
J the events:
First Match-Seven single blue rocks.
eighteen yards rise. Entrance 81. Twenty
entries. q. S. McAlpin killed six birds
and took first money. Potter and Horn
| divided second, and Lamotte, Woeltjen,
Brickman and Ulmer third.
Second Match-Three single and three
pair double blue rocks. Entrance 80. Eigh-
teen entries. Potter and Woeltjen killed
eight birds, and divided first money. Will
Jams and Barnes winged seven, and divided
second, and Ulmer, McAlpin and Jaug-
stetter killed six and divided third.
Third Match-Twelve single blue rocks
twenty-five yards rise; both barrels used.
Entrance SO. Twenty three entries Nc
Alpin killed all of his birds and took first
money, $34 80; Woeltjen and Rocker killed
eleven and divided second, Jaugstetter with
ten birds took third.
Fourth Match-Twenty-five single blue
rocks, eighteen yards rise. Entrance SO.
Twenty-lwo entries. Ulmer killed twenty
birds and got first money; McAlpin with
nineteen birds took second, and Brickman
took third with eighteen. This match and
the third match were the greatest events Of
the tournament, and of the S135 in the two
pools Savannah men got all but SIS.
There were two miss and outn matches
after the regular programme was over,
Westcott and Ulmer dividing the first and
McAlpin and Potter the second.
The heaviest winners of the day were
McAipin 1854 &c. Ulmer $40 80, Woelsjen
$50 80, Brickman SIG, and Rocker $40 49,
Taking the order of them from the num-
Der of birds killed and missed, the heaviest
money winners made the following record:
McAlpin killed 43, missed 10.
Ulmer killed AZ, missed IA.
Woeltjen killed "a, missed 12.
Rocker killed 49, missed II.
Brickman killed 49, missed 20.
Westcott, who usually does excellent
shooting at clay birds, was not so successful
yesterday, killing 20 out of 43 birds shot at
and Il. j. Kietfer, after trying it in the first
match, and bagging only two blue rocks out
OF seven, did not enter in the other matches.
The tournament passed off pleasantly, and
was one OF the most successful in point of
numbers that has ever been shot here, the
lowest number in any one match being
eighteen.
The tournament was under the manage
ment Of G. s. McAlpin, chairman of the
committee appointed by the executive COM
mlttee OF the Merchants week general conf
mittee, and Savannah, Augusta, Atlanta
and other towns were represented.

pretty much his own way and succeeded in
battering Haley's left cheek TO the consist
ency Of pulp. Connors' second claimed first
blood for his man and the claim was al
lowed by the referee.
THE FIRST KNOCK DOWN.
Connors landed four times on Haley's
ribs, four times on his head, aud three times
on his left eye in the thirteenth round, with
the regularity Of mailer. In getting away
from Haley, however, he slipped; Haley fol-
lowed him up and secured a clean knock
down.
The fourteenth round was devoid OF any
special features Honors were easy.
In the next round Connors got IN eight
blows on Haley's ribs before the latter
realized the fact; when he did he put one in
neatly on Connors' chin. Haley was just
wound up for business when the bell rang
announcing the end Of the round.
The sixteenth round saw Haley stop
heavy blow coming directly for his head
piece. He woke up then, rushed Connors
over the ring and had it mostly his own
way. There was some pretty fighting in
this round, and Haley's stock took an up
ward turn. He looked like sure winner,
but, as it afterward proved, he was going
at a pace too heavy for him.
In the seventeenth round Haley showed
the tremendous effects of Connors' con-
tinual landings on his face and ribs, and
was unable TO do any effective work, but he
did the cleverest ducking of the evening.
The round closed with both men sparring
for wind.
In the eighteenth round Connors made
for his favorite stamping ground, Haley's
left eye and cheek, and got there repeat
edly. just as the gong rang he sent in
parting reminder.
PLAYING A WAITING GAME.
Haley played a waiting game, and at the
same time got in pretty blow on Connors'
eye, but not before Connors did his little
act on Haley's left ribs and eye.
The twentieth round found Connors
anxious TO force matters, as usual, and he
got where he wanted when he pleased, but
lids blows, though numerous and prettily
delivered. lacked force. ~ On,
5D In the twenty-first round Haley was very
cautious. Connors watched his chance and
planted singing right-hand blow on his
chest, turned him partly around, punched
him in the back and keeled him over in
good style. The referee cautioned Haley
against tripping, but Haley was not to be
advised and showed his temper in replying.
Connors was as busy all the time as the pro-
verbal bee.
The twenty-third and final round opened
up with Connors as clipper as a lark, while
Haley was very groggy. Connors' first hit
knocked his man over. Haley got up in a
few seconds, but only to be knocked down
again by singing blow under the ear, and,
as he failed to come to within ten seconds
the referee awarded the fight to Connors.

At the beginning of the eighth round
Connors sprung to the front of the ring
and got in his initial blow as usual. Haley
rushed in; both men clinched and were
ordered to break away Connors again and
again landed on Haley's ribs and with tell

heavily on Haley. Connors resumed hos

last minute Haley became nettled and

The opening of the ninth round was
marked by little exchange Connors batted
| Haley's head in one, two, three order, and
did about as he pleased to the end of this
round, but his blows lacked force to settle
his man.
BOTH MEN ON THEIR METTLE.
The tenth round opened with blood in the
eyes of both men. Connors put his left
hand against Haley's jaw again and again,
| and varied the monotony of the perform
ance by touching up his antagonists ribs
| occasionally. and to finish off he prettily
planted his right heavily on his jaw twice
! in quick succession. After this Haley
brought Connors up suddenly by terrific
punch on the head. Coanors smiled like n
summers day and failed to show the least
signs of punishment.
In the eleventh round Haley started out
nobly with crack at Connors' head, but
the latter returned the blow with interest
and chased his opponent to his corner.
Both men became vicious after this and
gave and took for half a minute or more,
but it resulted in no decided advantage to
| either.

right fist on Haley's head, but the New
Yorker countered with his left and donors
