TARGET EXPERTS
ON TWO RANGES
REVOLVER AND RIFLE CRACKS
MAKE GOOD SCORES
Joe Singer Wins Medal in Turner's
Champion Glass, and Smith De-
feats Stephenson with
Small Arms

Crack target shots on two ranges had
plenty of sport yesterday, and as weather
conditions were right for good shooting
many clever scores were turned in. Both
rifle and revolver enthusiasts had their
innings, and medal shooting was on the
program.
At the range of the Los Angeles Re
volver club on Bishop street the regular
monthly contest for the gold, silver and
bronze medals took place, and the result
was that w. e. Smith, with score of S.,
captured the highest prize to be awarded.
G. f. Stephenson, who held the trophy up
to yesterday, was a close second and
earned the silver medal, and F. K. Haines
captured the bronze.
Previous to the medal shoot many of
the club members took chance at the
targets, and while their scores in practice
were high they could not duplicate them
in regular competition.
On the Turner's range Joe Singer again
proved his worth by capturing the cham
pion medal, his score being 215 In the
first class Mas was there to capture the
prize with 1856. his nearest competitor be-
ing Tisdale, with III to his credit Fol-
lowing are the scores on both ranges:

A Great Freak PIav

Topeka claims to have pulled off the
greatest freak play this season. In a
Topeka-Hutchinson game recently Erwin
walked to first in the fifth inning and was
sacrificed to second. Runkel walked up
to the plate and struck at two Then Hor-
ton threw a swift drop, Runkel struck at
it, but missed it. The ball struck the
plate, lodged through between the catch
er's legs and bounded up through the wire
netting in front of the grand stand. The
ball went through the netting and dropped
into the stand Before it was recovered
Irwin and Runkel both scored. Then Jay
Andrews threw the ball over the grand
stand.
Mooney finds his cap at last. He is
happy, so happy, once again. See him
in next Sundays comic.

SPORTING COMMENT
AND GOSSIP

Hal Bralys fight against Long in the
tennis championships at Ocean Park Sat
urday will be talked of for years to come,
and while the victor undoubtedly deserves
all the praise that he can be given, Braly
is applauded on all sides by the knights of
the racquet.
1t was only a couple of seasons ago that
a local writer had, or rather found, oc-
casion to call Braly for his fainthearted-
ness. The roast was uncalled for at that
time and since that Ocean Park contest
those who remember the incident wonder
If the writer in question wasn't biased in
his opinion at the time Braly is said to
have quit.
Ben Selig, Joe Cans manager is still
hanging around Frisco trying TO frame
things up so that the negro and Jimmy
Britt will have a shot at that big purse
which Is heard from over Nevada way.
The sage brush sports confidently expect
ed Nelson to win from Jimmy and now
/ thas turned out the other way they may
welsh on the proposition.
If he doesn't connect with the signatures
of all concerned within a few days Selig
will come here. The fight between Cans
and Memsic is less than two weeks off,
and Ben figures that he had better be on
the ground to look after his man.
Owing to the close race in the South
ern league, President Kavanaugh de-
cided on the double umpire system for
the balance of the campaign.
When a baseball team is winning the
star pitcher and the star batters and
fielders are picked out as the ones de-
serving of all the credit Let team
experience a slight losing streak and
the manager is to blame. That is the
way the fans in Cleveland have always
acted when the Maps won and lost.
Mike Dorlin writes Joe Humphreys |
Terry McGovern's manager and his old |
Budweiser pal as follows: II expect to |
be busy in Chicago for another year at |
least. Instead of Closing next month, |
as was reported in New York, we are !
sending four companies of our show on |
the road, and expect to play the original |
production here for another year at least. |
During this time baseball will be a side |
line with me. 1 am still pulling for the |
Giants"
1t is stated at Columbus unofflcial,y |
that George Upp, the clever pitcher OBJ
tanned by Columbus from Lancaster of |
the O. and p league, has been sold to
the Browns. Upp is the sensation of
The American association and has worked
n some wonderful games. He is left
handler, has speed and unusual control.
It is known that McAleer has been try
ng to secure an option on him for some
line.

Burns May Move

Burns will probably move to the beach
within few days. but that point has not
vet been fully decided. The hills near the
East Side club are especially adapted
TO the work of reducing poundage and
the lake out in front of the house is just
the thing for Burns latest stunt-rowing.
Both Lewis and Burns think that a few
minutes with the oars every day will
bring out just about as much muscle
around the shoulders as anything else
and can be made much more enjoyable
on still water than by buffeting against
the swells at the beach.
Almost every day during the next two
weeks will see either Manager McCarey
or a representative of the Pacific Athletic
club appointed by him at the camp of one
fighter or the other. Both Cans and
Burns have signed articles which state
that they must weigh in every day for
a week before their contest and show the
public that they are in proper trim, and
McCarey intends to hold them to the let
ter of the agreement by announcing their
weight every morning.
AS the big show is slated to come off
one week from Friday next, the sale of
seats will be opened one Wee from to-
day in order to give the out of town del
egation plenty of time to get in with their
orders for reservations. The prices will
range from So for the gallery up to SIS in
the box section. and at these prices the
house should be sold out when Burns
takes his chance against the negro for
the premier honors of the lightweight d.
vision.
