KANSAS CITY, April AT the close
of the second day of the Grand American
handicap at Blue River Park, the num-
Der of wing shots with straight scores
had been materially reduced OF the 143
who had not missed a bird when the
shooting stopped yesterday, eighty-nine
dropped out today, leaving fiftyfour who
still have haight score. Forty-four
of the fifty-fOur high men have shot six
teen rounds.
When the shooting stopped this evening
there were fifty-siN men who had snot
twelve rounds, and among them were ten
shooters with a straight score.
On account of the rain during the early
part Of the day, the shoot did not start
Until II o'clock, and darkness came before
all the shooters could make the round of
the four traps twice
The fifty-siX shooters who did not fin
ish the sixteen rounds today will be the
first to face the traps tomorrow. There
will be many Withdrawals tomorrow and
The race may be decided before the day is
over.
The weather today was disagreeable
and it had much TO do with the scores
that were made. 1t was a cold, raw day,
and the shooters were thoroughly chilled.
y hard northeast wind blew across the
park and unless high flyer was hit hard
1t was blown out of bounds. The birds
were fast and hard to bring down.
Close Call for Gilbert.
Great interest was conferred in the
shooting OF the three scratch, or thirty
two-yard men, Crosby, Elliott and Gill
bert. Crosby, who is shooting in perfect
form, grassed all of his birds with ease,
and used only one barrel on several of
Them
Gilbert also has a straight score up to
date, but he had two narrow escapes to-
1G iTn ctpn laft
Jerer, was blown against the boundary
net and luckily fell inside One of his
birGs was a fast straight-out flyer, and in
shooting at it both barrels of the gun
were discharged at once and it was call
ed nc bird He missed it and would
have had difficult for a second barrel.
Elliott, the Kansas City crack, missed
his tenth bird. The wind was blowing a
gale and the bird, a left quarterer, went
over the left boundary like a flash.
Mrs. S. S. Johnson, of Minneapolis, who
has won many admirers at this tourna-
ment, had a straight score at the end Of
the ninth round, but she lost her tenth
and twelfth birds. Annie Oakley did not
miss a bird tCday, but she failed to make
a straight score yesterday. ''Wenonah"
the other woman participant in the
shoot, missed three birds today
Farmer Burke" killed every bird he
shot at since the tournament began I'M
til he faced the traps in the ninth round
today. He missed his ninth and twelfth
birds.
Among those still having straight
score, besides Crosby and Gilbert, are T.
r. Banks, Of New York; Sim Glover,
New York, and R. O. Heikes, Dayton,
Ohio.
AS there are severty-three moneys 20 be
divided, it is certain that all of the win

no one who kills less than twenty-four
birds will receive any part of the purse
