Many Experts Have Entered
Tournament

! over forty trap shooters had regis
| tered last night for the three-day inter-
state contest which opens this morn
| ing on the range OF the Los Angeles
! Gun club near Sherman
| With the wind sweeping In from the
ocean and necessitating all the craft of
expert marksmen clever exhibitions
| were given yesterday afternoon in the
! final practice, and high class sport Is
anticipated for today.
| Among those who have entered are
three of the great American team which
visited Europe, headed by Tom Mar
| SHALL in 1901, not losing race during
the long tour which extended over the
continent Marshall was at practice
| yesterday and throughout the afternoon
did not fail to bring down his bird
shooting with a nonchalance and surety
which easily explains his eminence as u
trappst.
True Sportsmen
Clean cut and sportsmen in the true
sense of the word appear the cracks
who have entered for the three-day
meet, and a disregard for tiresome
uuibbling which marks many of the
other out-of door sports is one of the
bright features that distinguish the
pigeon men.
OF the ten American team members
who toured Europe Marshall, Daddy"
Rollo Heikes and William r. Crosby,
the present champion, will compete In
the coming tournament.
Although the professionals are con-
ceded to have more than an even break
local shooters are not without hopes
of making brave showing. Bob Bun
gay of Ocean Park was out yesterday
e,t, fa1 hn ic- tn a.
reckoned with when the big ones get to-
gether.
Secretary Shaner is more than pleased
with the environments of the local
range, which he declares is ideally stu
ated for championship shoot.
Walter Huff, who won the champion
ship at Indianapolis, is out for first
place, and his recent performances
make him worthy of any steel.
Gus Knight, the pride of San Ber-
nardino, is ready to pit his skill, and
local marksmen anticipate that he Will
come away with no small share of the
laurels.
Hollings, the San Francisco expert,
was shooting with certainty that
bodies i'll for the birds today.
Crosby the present champion, also
holds the high average championship
which he annexed at Denver less than
two weeks ago.
H. Justins of the Los Angeles Gun
club who has been incapacitated for
several days as a result of a chisel
splinter which lodged in his eye, will
be able to participate, as the injured
member has rounded too nicely. Mr.
Justins, who represents the N. M. C.
and Remington company, is regarded
as one of the local comers, and he is
| expected to prove problem in the
present tourney.
