The Sportsmen's Show Toufnament. 
i iGHER scores marked the progress of the competition. The 
jther conditions, as a whole, have been favorable for the trap- 
!■ oting. 
Fifth Day, Taesday, March 6, 
' etition of a very high character marked the shooting on 
l]i day of the tournament, especially in the Continuous 
r I : i;h, where it was nip and tuck right to the very finish. 
' rosby, as a starter, ran 24, and this remained unbeaten until he 
ijeat it himself on his tenth trial by scoring 27 consecutive breaks. 
\gain on his thirteenth trial he increased this to 29. Fannmg had 
leen persistentiv trying to accumulate a good run, but it was not 
jntil his seventeenth trial that he succeeded in establishing a new 
nark, running out cn 39. Crosby did not propose to be outdone, 
ind when Manager Slianer called the last squad he and Fanning 
were in it. Uight here is where the contest for supremacy took 
place, as each had his good eye with him. One by one the other 
members of the squad failed and fell out, and then a battle royal 
began which lasted until the 64th round, when Fanning fell by the 
tv.ayside. Crosby survived only a brief period longer, bemg able 
to break 65. This, however, won the medal for the day and also 
rave him the longest run of the tournament up to date. Crosby s 
aest runs were 65, 29, 27, 24 and 21. Prior to this no one had been 
able to make 63, and it looked like hard luck that Fannmg could 
not win on such good shooting, but this is part of the sport, and 
goes to make the competition. Fanning made seventeen different 
attempts, his good runs being 63, 39 and 20. , , . 
Fulford in ten trials got as far as 23 once. Heikes made thirteen 
efforts, and his good ones were 21, 14 and 13. Leroy, with eleven 
trials, had two 2is and two 10s to his credit. Budd faced the traps 
nine times, and his best results were 19 and 11. T, C. Wright, out 
of fourteen times up, reached 11 once. R. Sclmeider tried it five 
times, but could not go beyond 6. S. M. Van Allen m four at- 
tempts showed an S as his highest. Dr. Knowlton in seven trials 
managed to reach 8 once. Amose entered nine times, and the 
best he made was 6. Linthicum essayed it thirteen times wnh a 
like result. Weightman scored 2 twice out of four trials. C. K. 
Wi.se tried very persistently, entering Uiirteen times, but could not 
induce them to cluster. 
The Association Championship contest showed equal competition, 
and here Fanning had his success, finishing one bird ahead of the 
Farmer Boy," tRough it required the magnificent total of 98 to ac- 
complish this. , , , . , 1^ • 
In addition to winning the daily medal, tins also gave l^anning 
the best score of the tournament to date. Crosby practically 
maintained his stride, as will be inferred from his score of 97. 
Fulford, too, gave a good account of himself by breaking 93. 
The weather was again quite adverse, as sleet fell during the 
early part of the dav, and later this turned to rain, so that the 
shooters found theirs anything but a pleasant occupation. The 
light was bad, but there was an agreeable absence of the wind 
which has hitherto prevailed. The scores:

Sixth Day, Wednesday, Match 7. 
.-\s on Saturday. Wednesday's pTograninie consisted of but one 
event, in which the entries must be limited to such an extent 
as to insure its completion by 1:30. when the matinee in the 
Garden theater begins. Thus, the Association Championship was 
the only race shot to-day. Fanning did the best shooting m this on. 
the first trial, but Fulford was determined, and would not be with- 
stood, so that he re-entered, and on his second attempt by a: 
mat-.terful piece of shooting succeeded in tieing Fanning. they 
were higli, Iiaving broken 94. Heikes finished second with 93 on 
his first trial. He essayed it once more, but after shooting 50 and 
losing 8 he withdrew. Budd with 92 is third. Then comes Crosby,. 
Dominie and Fulford 91, while Lcroy follows these with 90. Alto- 
gether there were twenty-seven entries, twenty-five of these' com- 
peting. 
Owing to the time for the contest being limited, the tie be-- 
tween Fulford and Fanning will have to go over for decision utitil 
to-morrow. Their scores in tlie championship contest is to decide, 
*'^Tlie weather was pleasant, thus being favorable for good shoot- 
ing; nevertheless nothing extraordinary was accomplished.

Seventh Day, Thursday, March Sv 
The amassing of some great scores by Budd and Crosby was the 
chief feature of to-day's shooting, the former making the highest 
run of the present tournament in the Continuous match, while the 
latter broke all previous records of the roof garden in the Cham- 
pionship race. ' . , , 
Charley Budd had been performing very commonplace, with the 
single exception of yesterday. His gun that has stood by him so 
long has been punishing him severely on the face and finger, but 
he was reluctant to make a change. This finally came about to- 
day, and with a gim taken right off the shelf, he established a new 
mark in the Continuous match by running 70 straight. It only re- 
quired four efforts to do this, his other runs being 12, 6 and 4. 
" Crosby, too, was a factor in this race, and for a time it ap- 
peared as though he had this cinched, as he came within 1 of 
duplicating his great run of Tuesday. Although this was not made 
until his eleventh trial, it occurred prior to Budd's winning run, 
as the latter came late. Crosby's eleven attemps show 64, 30, IS 
and 15. . j , l 
Fanning was determined, but it availed him not, and though he 
was up thirteen times, and made some superb runs, he could not 
aggregate enough to surpass Budd's great total. His best runs 
were 51, 28, 24.^23 and 20. . , ^ 
Fulford. while not as persistent as some, ran out 38 with four 
trials. Nine trials on the part of Heikes resulted in 35, 21, 21 and 
13 Two efforts sufficed Leroy, but one of these resulted in a run 
of 33. C. T. Blandford, the Sing Sing shooter, was again present, 
and his five attempts netted him a 28, a 19 and a 16. Another good 
run was that of R. C. ICershner, wiio showed a 26 with eight trials. 
T. S. .'i. Rcmsen also tried it eight times, but 9 was the best he 
"got. Capt. Money, with a like number of trials, showed a like 
total as his best. , „ . . r <v . -r^ - ■ u 
S M. Van Allen scored 6 twice in tour efforts. Dominie could 
only aggregate 5 in four trials. K. R. McAlpin entered four 
times, his best run being 4. W. H. Raymond, E. H. Fox and 
W. A. Valis tried two or three times each, but never broke more 
There was a flood of entries in the Championship race; so 
many in fact, that Manager Shaner was at his wits' end how to 
shoot' them all in the allotted time. Capt. Money was early on 
hand, and proceeded at once to make six entries. H. Martin was 
hungry to shoot, and entered three times. This afterward proved 
a hardship on those who cam.e late, and whose entries had to be 
refused" because there was not sufficient time to shoot them. In 
extenuation of Manager Shaner's action in accepting six entries 
from one person, it is but just to state that the programme 
specifies that any number of re-entries are permissible. Then, too, 
iiriof to this the attendance had never been so large but that they 
could have been handled. However, this resulted in Manager 
Shaner making the announcement that on the succeeding days 
the entries in this event would be restTicted to fifty, and no re- 
entries would be taken unless the event failed to fill, and then 
not until after 3 o'clock. . , • ■ „ ■ ^ . *t. 
"To-day there were fifty-six entries in this match, .so that the 
working force and the magautrap were taxed to their full capacity, 
and during the five hours of shootmg somethmg like 1,000 targets 
an hour were trapped. i r f -o-n t. 
There was very little competition to speak of, for Billy Crosby 
simply made a runaway race of it. He missed his 34th target, 
running the remainder out, thereby exceeding Fulford s score, who 
was second with 94, by 5. Crosby's is the highest score ever made 
on the roof. Leroy is third with 92, Dominie fourth with 91, and 
Fanning fifth with 90. ^ • , 
Fulford, it will be seen, beat Fanning 3 birds, so he is entitled 
to the medal of yesterday. Thus their little difference has been' 
settled. 
One remarkable feature was the firing of 600 shots by Capt. 
Money in five hours. It so occurred that he was required to shoot 
100 shots without stopping, being in four succeeding squads. This 
apparently did not distress him any, for he made his best score 
on his fifth trial. 
The unusually large number of entries made it necessary to con- 
tinue shooting as long as possible, so that it was 6;10 before the 
final gun was fired, by which time the street lamps were lit, the 
shooting at this period having resolved itself largely into a matter 
of guesswork. This is responsible for the indifferent scores of 
many in the final string. No such a thing will occur again, as 
Manager Shaner will take the above-mentioned steps to obviate it. 
Miss Mamie Hyland, who fired the opening shot of the tourna- 
ment, was one of ttie participants. 
The future generation of shooters avss represented by a delega- 
tion of youths from Holbrook College, Sing Sing, T. G. Peck, 
W A. Valis, H. E. Post and K. R. McAlpin composing this. 
A scarcity of wind and a hazy sky made very desirable condi- 
tions. The scores:

Efghlh Day, Friday, March 9. 
This was, strictly speaking, Fanning's day, for by consistent 
shooting he succeeded in winning the medal in both events, 
though neither without a contest. 
In the Continuous match Crosby proved his most dangerous 
competitor, for the quiet and urbane Farmer Boy early in the 
race ran out a 49 that for a long time looked ample. Fanning was 
irrepressible, though, and kept after him most persistently, so 
that finally, on his si.xth trial, he went into a trance, which was 
only broken when he lost his 91st bird. 
Thus a new record for this style of shooting on the roof is 
established. The best previous run was 85, which was accom- 
plished last year. 
Fanning was very nearly right, for in nearly every one of his 
six trials he got a good start; 90, S3, 27, 22, 13 and 8 is what he re- 
corded. . , 
Crosby is next in this respect, aS liis gdbd runs are 49, 25 and 
31. Eight times is the number of trials he made. Heikes' tenth 
attempt resulted in 19, IS, 16, 15, 12 and 10. Voorhees' only effort 
resulted in 23. Leroy got 17 on a single attempt. Budd entered 
four times, and showed 13, 10 and two 7s. Eastman's single effort 
resulted in 13. The best Dr. Knowlton could do was 10, it re- 
quiring five efforts. Dr. Casey's limit was 9, with eight trials. 
Jlershner and Kryn each has an 8 for his maximum; the 
former was up five times, and the latter three. The other con- 
testants showed Weightman, two trials, 4; Hagedorn, one trial, 3, 
and Norton, three trials, 1. 
As announced yesterday, the entries in the Championship 
match were restricted to fifty, so that all were enabled to finish 
while the light was good. Fanning won this race also, by scoring 
96, though this was a contest right to the finish. At 75 both East- 
man and Crosby were one bird ahead of him, they being credited 
with 73, the former having run his last two strings of 25 straight. 
Fanning and Crosby shot in the same squad, so they both fin- 
ished together. Eastman, however, shot later, and it required a 
score of 24 for him to win. However, he failed to make good, as 
is all too frequently the case when the amateur is pitted against 
the expert; 21 is the best he could do, so that he tied with Budd 
and Crosby for second place. This is the first instance during 
the tournament where an amateur has been a factor in this race. 
Heretofore it has always been a scramble among the "perfesh." 
Mr. Eastman is a tall young man of slender physique, though ap- 
parently cool and collected, lacking only a trifle more wear to- 
compete successfully with the expert. 
The prevailing weather conditions were once more quite favor- 
able. The scores:

Ninth Day, Saturday, March iO. 
Saturday was one of the short days. Therefore the Association 
Championship was the only issue. There were thirty entries, and 
the result was anothei- win for Fanning, who outshot all his com- 
petitors. He accomplished this by running his last string of 25 
straight, for at the 75th round, Leroy, who was shooting most con- 
sistently, was 1 bird to tlie good. The latter maintained his stride, 
but it WAS Fanning's spurt that landed him a winner. This shooter 
within the past three days has won four out of five events. 
Leroy and Crosby are tied for second and third places. Budd is 
fourth and Banks fifth. 
The weather conditions were ideal, but there was a choppj' wind 
playing tag with the saucers, so that they were skipping here and 
there, and the shooters found all too frequently that they were 
.-my where but within the patter of the gun. The scores:

withstanding the fact that the weather was of a wintry nature for 
at no time during the day did the thermometer reach a point above 
freezing. This made it somewhat trying on the contestants, as it 
required plenty of heavy wearing apparel to keep warm. The wind 
blew a gale from the northwest, but this did not affect the flight 
of the targets to any great extent, so that the cold was practically 
the only handicap the shooters had to contend with. 
Many ineffectual efforts were made in the Continuous match to 
establish a new mark, but nothing approaching the records of the 
past week was accomplished. Fanning was once more the chief 
factor in this race. This shooter, being inured to cold from having 
spent several winters in the arctic regions, seemed less affected 
than his competitors; at any rate he made nice runs, winning the 
race handily. On his fourth eft'ort he ran out 35. That would 
have sufficed, as no one succeeded in excelling even this. Ho\y- 
ever, he was just as anxious as the other principals to surpass this 
run, and kept trying, and finally on his tenth trial increased it to 
49. Altogether, he was up eleven times, his good runs being 49, 
35, 19 and two 16s. 
Crosby came next, having made one run of 33, also 23, 22 and two 
lis out of twelve efforts. Heikes with nineteen trials scored runs 
of 29, 20. 14 and two 10s. Dr, Knowlton essayed it eight times, 
showing 26 and 23 as his best results. Kirkover with eleven at- 
temps rendered 26, 18 and two 13s as his best. Griffith went 
Kirkover one better, but the best he could accomplish was 23, 20, 
II: and 11. Fulford tried it the unlucky number of thirteen times. 
His best were 16 and 14. Budd went as high as 13 in six attempts. 
Hooey entered once, scoring 9. Wood recorded a like number, but 
required four trials. Leroy, out of a half dozen attempts, scored 
8, 7, 6 and 5. Reinecke, though determined, succeeded in breaking 
5 once; he entered sixteen times. Clark duplicated this, only 
facing the trap seven times. Kryn, not breaking more than 1, 
quit after three endeavors. 
Classic competition marked the Championship match, in which 
Heikes, Van Allen, P. Daly, Jr., and Fulford were mainly en- 
gaged. This eventually resulted in a win for the first named, 
though it required a score of 96 to accomplish it. The stride de- 
veloped by the two amateurs, Van Allen and Daly, increased the 
interest in the race, as for a time it looked as though either or 
both of them would excel the great total of the past master. The 
latter showed some of his old-time capabilities in this event, and 
•very probably has recovered from the slump he has recently shown. 
It only required one effort on his part to make the winning score, 
though it will be perceived that the succeeding trio entered two m- 
more times. Banks, Crosby, Tracy and Leroy were a part of the 
capital division, as in dicated by the scores:

Baltfmore Shootfog Association, 
Baltlmore, Md., March 5.— There were sixteen contestant'^ m 
the hve-bird event, a handicap at 15 birds, entrance the price of 
birds. The Association added $25, which was divided 40, 30, 311 
and 10 per cent. The birds were a good lot. Fox was the onlv 
one to kill straight, while three— Dr. Mann, Storr and Gent-^ 
tied on 14. Some miss-and-out events followed this one after 
which the shooting ended, and the shooters gathered at Hal- 
stead's Suburban Hotel for the annual Association supper, after 
which the annual meeting was held, Dr. A. H. Maun, Tr. pre- 
siding. The reports of the officers were satisfactory, tha't of the 
treasurer showing that the Association had a neat balance to its 
credit in bank. 
The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: John 
C. Hicks, President; W. T. Harve.v, Vice-President; H. P 
Collins, Secretary, and Dr. A. H. Mann, Jr., Treasurer. Gov- 
■crnors: James R. Malone, George L. Harrison, Harry T Ducker 
Dr. J, R. Abercrombie and William Marshall. The officers are 
also members of the Board of Governors. At a business session 
of the Board James R. Malone v/as elected Field Captain. 
During Mr. Mann's occupancy of the president's chair he ap- 
pointed James R. Malone, H. P. Collins and J. C. Hicks a com; 
mittee to try to arrange a team contest with the Keystone League 
of Pennsylvania. The latter organization wrote to Secretary 
Collins, proposing a team race of ten men on each side at 2'5 
birds each, for March 30, in Philadelphia. The idea of the race 
was to key the men up for the Grand American Handicap which 
7S to be shot the week of April 2. It was not found practicable 
for the Baltimore shooters to go to Philadelphia March 30, as sev- 
eral are going to the Grand American Handicap and cannot 
spare the time for both events. The committee will try to 
arrange a team race for some other date, and will endeavor to have 
the Keystone League give the B. S. A. a return shoot in this 
city. It was the general impression that the newly elected 
officers of the B. S. A. were a set of hustlers, and some lively 
trapshooting is looked for this season.
