The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-05-16

fore the close OF the contest These
| events were shot for scores only and
do not count in the money.
| The fair grounds have been a scene
of hustle and life all morning. Nearly
all the cities represented in the meet
| have separate tents and the different
arms companies have gaily colored
pennants and banners advertising their
goods placed in conspicuous view of
all.
| Perhaps the busiest man at the
grounds is Manager LOmaX and to his
| knowledge of the game is due the order
and dispatch with which the tourney
| is being conducted. A small army of
| scorers. judges. annOuncers, messen-
gers, trap boys and bookkeepers are
| under the direct supervision of Mr.. Lo-
max and in spite Of the intricacies of
| the position he seems to be the coolest
sportsman of them all.
Especially noticeable is the courtesy
being extended the press by the Off
Gals. Every event is given to the rep
representatives. of the different papers as
soon as they are concluded.
of the meet is the dainty luncheon
served the members by the Ladies' Re-
lief Corps at the race track pavilion.
Following are the results of the diff
ferent events up to the time of going

blue rocks apiece and only received go
