Expert Shooters in Tournament
Continued from Page ~

Propagation Association, and in order
to complete the entire number of
shoots scheduled, the event originally
scheduled for Boise, but cancelled ow-
inlg to the fact that the Boise club
had been compelled to store their
traps because of the loss of their
shooting grounds, this event will be
shot off at Salt Lake City next Satur-
day, thus giving the Utah metropolis
two events instead of the one sche-
duled there for Sunday.
One of the features of the shooting
of the touring teams is the great work
being done by Fred Willet, of the San
Francisco team, who has steadily
maintained percentage of better than
Sd ever since the tour commenced.
Under all kinds of weather conditions,
and at all manner of thrown targets,
the expert from San Francisco has
shot better than "a birds of every 100
targets, which is considered a remark
able record to be made anywhere.
Hugh Poston, one of the Spokane
representatives, is another tourist who
has been shooting in great form since
the tourney started. In the earlier
shoots in Oregon he fell way below
his usual average by reason of his ex-
perimenting with new gun, but since
he has returned to his old love, he has
been shooting practically as we'll as
Willet. In the snow at Shoshone the
other day Poston broke 76 consecutive
targets, and when his teammates were
expecting him to accomplish 100
straight, his hands became numbed by
the cold and and he missed several
targets, thus spelling his chance for a
record.
Besides Poston and Willet, the other
members of the touring party are Guy
and Pete Holohan, both we'll known
in Twin Falls, having been former res

representing Portland in the tourna-

and Bert Ackers. Randlett is Willets
partner representing San Francisco
while Ackers and Poston represent
Spokane, and Morgan pairs off with
either of the Holohans as the Portland
team at each contest
On their arrival at Twin Falls Mon
day, Peter J. Holohan received a tele-
gram from the Dupont Powder COM
pany announcing that that company
had decided to add handsome pair of
cuff links to the prizes being compet-
ed for by the travelling teams. AT
present it looks favorable for the San
francisco pair, Willet and Randlett, to
become owners of the trophies, for
this team has won ten events so far,
and only five shoots remain, including
today's contest. Spokane still has a
chance, for the gunners representing
that city have so far won seven con-
tests, while the Portland team has
captured but three shoots. An in
stance of the luck the Portland team
has played in on this trip is shown
by the number of times this team has
been beaten out by one bird. This oc-
Cured three times, while a margin
OF two birds beat the Holohans on two

GOOD BOXING BOUT.
Friday Evening of This Week at the
DreamIand Pavilion.

The coming ten-round boxing con-
test between Jack Carpenter of Salt
Lake and the Battling Dane from
Denver, which is to take place at the
Dreamland Hall in this city next Fri
day night, promises to be the best con-
test Of this kind ever staged in this
section of the country.
The Dane made great hit with the
local fans by the easy manner in which
he won over Farnswortll and they are
anxious to see him in action again
against someone who will be able to
make him exert himself the full ten
rounds.
In Carpenter he will meet boy who
is somewhat larger than himself and
one who has had as much experience
and to the present time has never
taken the count from ony of them
Carpenter recently boxed six
round draw in Salt Lake with Jack
Downey, the man who beat Slick Mer-
rill, the crack colored boy, in Boise
couple weeks ago. Carpenter and the
Dane have never met before as the
Dane always refused to give away so
much weight, but he has been improv-
ing SO fast lately that he thinks he
can take that much handicap and still
win.
Carpenter arrived here Sunday and
from now until the night of the bout
both boys will work out twice daily,
consisting of running on the roads in
the forenoons and boxing and ekip-
ping the rope in the afternoons, and by
the time of the bout they will be in
condition to go the full ten rounds at
top speed.
Both boys are good and willing mix
ers, who are trying all the time and
to insure the fans who attend that
they will receive good run for their
money Bud Ryan, who is promoting
the bout advertises that if the bout is
not satisfactory the money will be re-
funded.
