the story about the closing ay ofthe Cal
ifornia Inanimate Target AssocIation's 5
fourth ann ual tournament. The Slaughter
of biuerocks took place, as was the. case
on Sunday, at the Alameda Junction
grounds, and was n arked by even greater
enthusiasm and interest than was the
opening day. This was undou btt dly due
to the grandeur of the weather. An i'm
mense crowd of shotgun deyotees and their
friends were pres.ntand not one of them
would consentIo leave until the last shell
had been exploded.
** Champion Feudner's Victory was hard
earned. He was compelled to com pete
with the very best shots of the State
over hundred of them in fact-and after
the last man had taken his turn at the fly.
ing disks a computation of the scores
showed that Feudner. Ralphs, Lipp and
Webb were tied for first honors. Each
had score of nineteen kills or "breaks"
out of twenty shots. This quartet then
tarned loose 20 find out who was the real
champion. Lipp and Webb could not
hold to their average, and were distanCed,
while Fe1dner and Ralphs. the Los Ange-
les wonder, finished neck and neck again
with score OF seventeen each. After a
short breathing spell these two heroes
went out TO battle to a finish. Both were
in splendid form, steady ana cool. 1t was
nip and tuck between them until the
lgh.eenth shot was fired. and right here
" RaiThS made the fatal ms
that lost HIM his last chance ior the
cham Dionship. A N ISIS on the part OF
Feudner now would have made another
tie But Feudner did not miss, and that's
why he was cheered and congratulated as
the new coast champion.
