Second Days Shoot of the California
State SportSmen's Annual
Tournament.

| The second days trap-shooting of the
California States Sportsmen's Associa-
! tion's fourteenth annual tournament was
| held yesterday at the Oakland Trotting
Park. The attendance was not as large as
on the preceding day, but the sport was
good. A strong west wind blew across the
traps, and whenever the birds rose in
earnest they lost no time in taking the
wind and flying for safety like rockets.
| However, very few made their escape,
and many pretty stops were effected when
| the pigeons were near the limits. Not
| few dropped dead after crossing the line
| owing to the force of the wind. Those
that got away from the trap-shooters flew
| into perfect battery of guns outside of
| the fence. Much interest was centered
upon the beautiful diamond medal pre-
sented years ago Dy Ned Fay. Only seven
events marked the days sport.
The first was six-bird match, 50 so en-
| try. The purse was divided into three
prizes of $l2 30, 81 80 and $5. The score
STOOD
Robinson 6, Feudner 5, Courtney 6, Tanning
| 8, slade 6, Stelling q, McMurchy T., Sedan D,
Haight 4, Webb 4.
! As seen six of the shooters killed all of
| their birds, S the tie was shot off in the
| second event, which resulted in another
| tie among Robinson, Slade and Stelling,
who divided the entire purse of the first
event.
The second event was ten bird match
| for purse of $40. Robinson, Feudner and
Stelling divided the purse. The scores
made stood:
| Robinson 10; Feudner 10; Stelling 10;
| Webb g. W; Farming /, W; MeMurc6y 8;
Haight 2, W; Courtney g. W; Sedan 9.
Event No. 3 was another 10-bird match,
s5 entry. The entries and scores stood as
| follows:
ner Q; Robinson 6, W; stelllng 10; Haight 4;
Courtney l, W; Webb 10.
As seen there were four ties on 10 birds,
| and the money was divided among those
who made clean scores.
The next was the contest for the Fay
diamond medal and the entrance money
that went with the match. The medal
| has been the property, temporarily, of
| nearly all the best shots on the coast. Last
| year it was held by Crittenden Robinson,
who came within the line of poss ibility of
wearing it for another year. He was
| pressed too close by Otto Feudner, who
made % straight kills to Robinson's "a.
Robinson's score, however, gave him the
purse, according to theterms of the pre-
sentation. The conditions were S. en-
| trance, 20 birds and the use of both bar
rels. Following shows the entries, scores
| and when the second barrel was used.
