The amateurs finished for the day in doubles and 
singles with Volk and Heil at the head on 233 each; 
Barlo and Dixon 231 each; Young and Daniels 227 each. 
Professional scores were higher, Henderson being first 
with 238; Maxwell, Spencer and Freeman 237 each; 
German 236. 
Long runs were made by C. G. Spencer, professional, 
122, which included the last 21 of Wednesday. W. S. 
Hoon started the day with an unfinished run of 50, and 
added the first 40 targets of to-day’s program, giving 
him a total of 90; Volk got a run of 80 during the day 
and Roll one of 87. 
The dailies of the city have devoted some space to 
the tournament, and the result was apparent in the 
goodly crowds of spectators, which have been present 
since Monday. Among those here to-day were Horace 
Bonser, a former member of the club and known as the 
Boy Wonder from the wonderful scores he used to make 
at the St. Bernard grounds when he first began shoot¬ 
ing four or five years ago. He has dropped out of the 
game altogether, but still retains a friendly feeling for 
his old-time competitors at the clay birds. Much dis¬ 
appointment has been expressed by the shooters at not 
meeting “Pop” Heikes at this tournament, and it was 
a great surprise to many to know that he bad not quali¬ 
fied. His percentage was high enough and then some, 
but he had not got into enough of the Interstate handi- 
caps during the year.

Fourth Day, Oct. 18. 
Well, we got it for the last day without a question, 
and Elmer’s predictions were fulfilled to the letter. It 
was regulation Post Season “get-away” day weather, 
according to the records. There was a light drizzle of 
rain in the early morning, but the clouds were thin, 
and the indications for clearing up seemed good. In¬ 
stead of getting better as the day grew, it steadily be¬ 
came worse, and the last event was finished in a heavy 
downpour. The weather prevented any visitors from 
attending, and the shooters had no gallery to urge them 
on. At 9 o’clock the first squad was called to the score, 
and at 1:15 it was all over, and another Post Season tour¬ 
nament was a matter of history. Only forty-eight shoot¬ 
ers were on hand to-day, forty-four going through the 
program. Some of the best scores of the week were 
made to-day, in spite -of the weather. W. H. Heer was 
the star performer, finishing his 200 singles without a 
miss, making a straight run of 240, including the last 40 
of the day before. Henderson also did his best work 
to-day, tying with Crosby for second place on 197; Ger¬ 
man got in third place with 195, and was followed by 
Clark and Hawkins with 194 each. 
High amateurs for the day were: Roll 194, Barto 193, 
Bruns (who had got back nearly to his right form) and 
Dixon, 192 each; F. Campbell 191, Daniels, J. S. Young 
and Moore, 190 each. 
Long runs were made by Crosby, 102, including the 
last two targets of the day before; Barto, 97, and Hawkins 
80, which took in 5 from Thursday. 
High amateur on the day’s program, singles and 
doubles, were: Barto 235, Daniels and Noel 234 each, 
Young 233, all well bunched. 
The professionals also finished close together; Ger¬ 
man first with 242, Heer 241 and Henderson 240. 
The Interstate Association divided $300 among the 
ten high amateurs shooting at all the singles for the 
four days, 800. This was won by Ridley, 767; Bruns and 
Roll, 766 each; Heil. 763; Dixon, 761; Barto, 760; Young, 
757; Hoon. 755; Volk, 752, and Moore 751. 
The six high average moneys, $100 in all, for high 
scores in the four days at doubles, 100 pairs, were won 
by Heil, 170; Noel, '167; Young and Volk, 165 each; 
Daniels, 162, and Barto. 158. 
The trophy, a gold watch valued at $100, for the 
amateur making high score at all targets, singles and 
doubles. 1000 in all, for the four days, was won by A1 
Heil, of Allentown, Pa., with a score of 933, 10 targets 
in the lead of Wm. Ridley, who broke 823; J. S. Young 
was a close third with 922. 
The professional trophy went to W. Henderson, Lex¬ 
ington, Ky., with 943; Homer Clark was second with 
940 and L. S. German third with 939. 
’Squad No. 5—Taylor, German, Heer, Crosby and 
Maxwell—made the squad record of the tournament, 
breaking 125 straight in the first event to-day. Squad 2, 
all amateurs—Y oik, Koch, Huntley, Heil and Barto 
came within one target of tying the pros in the same 
event, going out with a score of 124. 
During' the tournament, including practice day, 
57,575 targets were trapped without a delay.
