NEW YORK STATE TOURNAMENT. 
With Photos by B. Riggs. 
A gunman who is in good standing with the law, 
walked out at Ontario Beach yesterday morning to a 
pine stake a few yards from where the lake was spilling 
a white feather of foam on the shore. He uttered one 
word, a lever was pulled, a blue rock took wing from 
its green cote, a gun sputtered and the ruined bird fell 
into .the water. 
It was the start of an exhilarating opening day of 
the New York State Sportsmen’s Association’s annual 
shoot, which has recurred so often that the promoters 
have to look over the files to agree on what number 
to print before “Annual Shoot.” Appearing on this 
year’s cover is “56th.” 
The person who began the racket that endured until 
twilight, said “Pull,” come to find out from reliable 
sources, when he stepped before the traps. One at 
first charged it on the fierce acoustics, but after listen¬ 
ing to a chorus of grunts and squeals and howls—they 
all meant “Pull”—you became aware that the marks¬ 
man has a language just as intelligible at times as the 
nasal bolee of the Taps who keep the odds-and-ends 
casino hard by the Venetian canal, or the reading of 
the roll by the city clerk. 
Kills 159 of 160 Birds. 
Homer Clark, a professional, broke 159 out of 160. 
F. S. Wright, of South Wales, and A. C. Skutt, of 
Morton, each with 155 in 160, topped the amateurs. 
The interstate Association’s amateur state champion¬ 
ship of 100 targets was half completed yesterday. The 
remaining fifty birds will be shot to-morrow. F. S. 
Wright led in the first flight yesterday with but one 
bird lost in his fifty shots, but his future is beset by 
perils that a round dozen shooters hope to provide. 
Three are tied at 48, while eight stand at 47.
