REV0LVAR
RETAINS SILVER CUP WON BY
10
HIM LAST YEAR
Contest Conducted at Indoor Range
of Los Angeles Revolver Club,
Which Is Lighted Ar
tiflcially

The annual shoot of the Los An
geleS Revolver club was held last week
on the indoor range of the club at
116 South Olive street. To the num-
Der making the highest score in this
contest is awarded the Hoegee silver
cup and a solid gold medal. To the
next highest is awarded a silver medal
and to the third bronze trophy. The
shoot is held in January of each year,
the winner holding the cups until the
following anuary, when it is contest
ed for again.
A b. Douglas bored out a score of
434 out of possible 500, winning the
cup for the year 1910 and also a gold
medal. L. G. Douglas was next with 9.
score of 423, winning the silver medal,
and Carl Schroeder landed third place
and was awarded the bronze medal.
! The shoot was quite a success, as
thirteen of the members took part.
The conditions were fifty shots per
man at twenty yards United States
Revolver association rules governing
matches A or b, the pistol or revolver
being used on an equal footing as the
shooter preferred.
a. B. Douglas, the winner, used q
22-calibre pistol with ten-inch barrel,
the arm being made to order accord
ing to his own idea. l. c. Douglas
shot the same model of arm.
Carl Schroeder, local gunsmith shot
22-calibre pistol with a barrel which
he rifled himself, and had he had more
experience with the arm he undoubt-
edly would have given young Douglas
close run for the trophy. OF the
others who took part, ThaXter w. e.
Smith, Siefert, A. N. Smith and Rich
ardSOn used 3S-calibre reVolVers and
hand-loaded ammunition. VIII A.
Wright used his % made-over Colt re-
vOlver and landed Twelfth place. His
smokeless ammunition and revolver
did not seem to harmonize, as quite q
number of his shots key-holed through
the target. c. B. Hubbs of the South
ern California Rifles, did exceeding
ly well in his first three scores. but
did not hold up at the finish owing to
| ineXperience at the revolver game. Had
he become more accustomed to shoot
ing by artificial light he very likely
would have landed second place.
j. e. Holcomb started out to beat
ThaXter's score of All and undoubted-
ly wOulG have done so only he fortu-
nately strained his gun just before
starting his last string, landing him
five points behind ThaXter. r. j.
Frazer shot his scores last evening
which brought the contest to a close.
Others who used the 20 pistol were
Hubbs, HolcOmb, Packard and Fra
zer.
Last year the contest was held on
the outdoor range, the cup being won
by A. B. Douglas, with a score of 44S,
with a 3S-calibre revolver and hand
loaded ammunition.
Each year the cup is engraved with
the name of the winner the date and
score. Following are the scores made
in the contest:

Judging from the expressions of the
sporting writer's of Frisco regarding
Hester's prospects for getting permit,
his last remaining hope is hanging by
a decidedly slender thread. Few pro-
fess to believe that he viii be any
more successful in the country than
he was in the city. Believing that he
is up against it probably is the eX-
PLANTATION for the continued delay he
has occasioned in depositing his for
felt to pull off the fight He hardly
could be expected to WELD greater
influence in tEe country than in the
city where hesives and desires to DO
business.
He will have no kick coming. how
ever. if he is turned down. He has
attempted to bring about breach or
contract between the fighters and Tom
McCarey by intermeddling in an attalr
that all decency and good sportsman
ship would have dictated to him TO
let alone After McCarey had closed
the match it was up to Hester ana
all other promoters to keep hands on.
Rut Hester did no such thing and al
most succeeded in breaking up the
match.
Nelson has stuck by him in man
ner that shows he once had faith IN
the promoter and he will stick by Hes
ter until it is assured that the Frisco
promoter cannot pull off the fight. For
the reason that he wants to give He's
ter every opportunity to make good.
Nelson has refused to reopen negotla-
tions with McCarey until Hester fans
Tn the event that Hester is turned
down again today, Nelson will accept
the McCarey proposition and fight
Wolgast at Vernon.
Webster Is Giving Odds
Danny Webster, who will give Curly
O'Connell ten rounds in which 10
win the bantam championship Tuesday
night is not at all alarmed about the
big chance he is taking with this
classy little conner. He is so confident
49, he will maintain his prestige IN
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-17

, the ring that he is offering ten to
eight that he will win. These odds
probably will be established today as
the prevailing figure at which al
money will be wagered by the sports
about town.
1t is not to be denied that O'Connell
has many hackers in this fight and
that he has shown good enough form
to rank at these odds. That it Will be
no one-sided affair is admitted IN all
quarters, even though Webster natur-
ally is expected to rule favorlte oN-
ing to his longer experience ana tne
great form he has been showing IN
all his fights in the last year. Both
boys will wind up their training TO-
day and each will go into the ring in
perfect condition.
Negroes Backing Cameron
True to their race, the negroes are
making up a fund of S400 to bet that
Jim Cameron will whip Mexican Pete
Everett in the semi-windup of the
card Tuesday night. Cameron believes
he will trim the Mexican and is train
ing like he. was about to fight for
championship. With confidence in
himself to back up his freakishly long
arms he might turn the trick, al
though Everett will be the favorite.
Peter has fought Jeffries and john
son, being stopped by jeff in three
rounds and going twenty rounds with
Johnson. He has shown symptoms of
class at times and his more recent
fights have been an Improvement over
the earlier ones.
Another bout on the card that will
attract much attention is the frankie
Harris-Joe Livermore argument. These
boys put up a speedy fight at the last
minor event show and opinions diff
fered widely at the end. Livermore
outfought Harris until the final round
or two. when Harris made a strong
finish. Both have trained carefully
for the next meeting and it should be
a pretty battle and as exciting as one
might want to see.
