The last week has cleared away every

Of course. it's too early in the season to
even venture a prediction as to the out
come of the race for the flag. But this
much is certain, every indication bears
out the statement that the Omaha team
will start the race with just as good a
chance as any Of the other seven teams
of landing in the coveted top berth.

of failure to collect the guarantee. Re-
garding the latter, H. s. Rogers, bust
ness manager for the local team, has
given out the following interview:
1.-THE committee in charge of the mat

little negligent lately. They are still
about 81 500 shy of promises. The COM
Inittee secured promises for boxes and
tickets amounting to about 5000. Vice

to $1,000, leaving 5000 for the committee

PUT UP FINE RACE

Here is another clipping from Sporting
life which is of interest to every one in
tereSted in the great handicap:
The second best shot in the big contest
was j. L. D. Morrison. a st. Paul law
yer. He is considered fine shot at both
utation was expected to win out over the
less experienced Griffith. The ST. Pa,li
man put up a fine race, killing many fast
birds almost over the traps He used a
Winchester repeating gun and worked if
with wonderful rapidity and execution
Sen showed great nerve on one bird in
the tie, near the fifteenth round He
shot a bird which the referee declared
Was on the ground. He tried another
and the she'll missed fire With a Won
derfu1 presence Of mind he held the gun
unopened and allowed the referee to first
examine it AS it showed a nisfire he
was allowed another bird which he kill
ed. Had he opened the gun first it
would have been a lost bird under the
interstate rules. Morrison fell out on a.
fast driver.
There were many minor events, but
only two others in which Morrison car
ried off laonors. This was on the sixth
day, when two prize events were sched-
uled. There were forty-one entries in
the first race, and Nauman, Pierce, Ala
baster, LIE Roy. Gilbert, Parmelee, Nor
rfson, LAnderman and HeiSes killed
straight and divided first money. BY
trophy" as 1t is called, was not shot
off, but the winner decided by drawing.
Parmelee was the lucky one For the
Sportsmens association trophy there
we're thirty-six entries and Mr. Morrison
and fifteen others killed fifteen straight
and divided first money. Then followed
the drawing and Morrison won.
Mr.. Morrison thinks that the interna-
tional shoot will be held some time in
July in England. He will not admit
that he has been asked to take part in
this, but it is generally understood that
such is the case. He says, however,
that he could not leave his business to at
tend it. Asked about the killing of live
birds at the handicap, he said the HUI
name society there caused some little
inconvenience at first, but this was soon
stopped. He says no wounded birds es-
capped, and the talk about crippled birds
being in evidence all over the state is
'.pure rot" Something like 1900 BIRDS
were killed.
