Lively Days Sport at the Oakland Track
With strong-Flyiag Birds for Targets
Officers Elected

Yesterday was one of those days that
trap-shooters pray for. 1t was clear, sun
shiny and with just breeze enough to make
bracins air and give a delightful uncer-
tanty to the flight of the birds.
The birds, too. were lively and strong
lot and vast numbers of them dropped dead
GU: of bounds, the fifty-yard limits of the
Pacific Coast Association being used Had
the eghly-yard bound been in vogue some
of the cracks, notably Elliott of Kansas
City, would have made much cleaner scores.
Elliott was notably unfortunate, a large
number OF his birds falling out of bounds.
THE MEDAL SHOOT.
The first, and principal event of course,
was the shoot for the Fay diamond medal,
valued at $3.50, and which Haas carried off
last year There were sixteen members OF
TIE association who competed, though Elliott
and several others entered the pool for the
purse. which was no inc0nSideTable affair.
The shoot was at twenty live birds, with
an entrance fee of So for the privilege Of
shooting for the medal. This made pot
of $50, which Haas, the holder oil The medal,
was entitled TO.
All the cracks competed for the medal,
Haas himself making a very good score 1t
was won, however, by MARTINEZ Chick of
San Diego, who made a clean Kill of twenty
birds, though he used his second barrel a
great many times. Robinson crowded him
very closely, getting nineteen birds for
less number Of shots. Elliott of Kansas
City also killed clean string, and therefore
tied Chick for first money, bat not being
member of the State Association, Elliott had
no share in the medal shoot. The Missouri
CHAMPION made remarkably clean score,
using his second barrel bat five times. and
his shooting in that match was in strong
contrast with his scores in the other ma tches.
