Nay 3, Second Day, 
Grand sport was witnessed the second day of the 
tournament. A large crowd was out, especially during 
the afternoon, and the keenest interest was manifested. 
In fact, there was enough transpiring to make the most 
indifferent take due notice. The keen rivalry manifested 
by the contestants when the Preliminary Handicap, at 80 
singles and 10 doubles, begun was quickly communicated 
to the crowd. As usual, the shooting at double targets 
proved spectacular. The audience soon caught the spirit 
of the occasion, and time and again the clever work was 
applauded. The “big show,” of course, was the appear¬ 
ance of four such men as Chas. G. Spencer, W. H. Heer, 
W. R. Crosby and Fred Gilbert, shooting in the first 
squad, each man at the 21yd. rise mark. Here were the 
world’s four greatest trapshots shooting in one squad, 
but for “targets only.” The crowd leaned forward as 
this notable quartette performed, and as they went from 
one set of traps to the other, the crowd followed eagerly. 
The 20-yd. men in the next two squads likewise pre¬ 
sented some noted shots, for among them were: H. J. 
Borden, R. O. Heikes, Walter Huff, J. M. Hughes, G. 
L. Lyon, J. R. Taylor, Guy Ward and C. A. Young. 
Then came the 19yd. men with such noted amateurs as 
G. M. Collins, C. H. Ditto, G. V. Dering, O. N. Ford, 
Woolfolk Henderson, D. A. Upson, and John Livingston, 
and the professionals H. D. Freeman, E. R. Holt, C. O. 
Le Compte, Harold Money and Tom A. Marshall. 
The appearance of Mrs. Duncan F. Kenner, one of 
Nashville’s prominent society matrons, at the traps and 
hen shooting as well, attracted much attention, and the 
squad in which she was shooting was second only in 
interest to the big one of world-beaters in No. 1. 
The Preliminary Handicap was open to amateurs only 
and it resulted in a tie between John R. Livingston, of 
Springville, Ala., and Woolfolk Henderson, of Lexing¬ 
ton, Ky., with a score of 92 each out of the 100 shot at. 
In the shoot-off at 20 targets, Mr. Livingston broke 18 
and Mr. Henderson 17, this giving the trophy to the 
Albanian. The trophy was presented to Mr. Livingston 
by President Bennett, of the Cumberland Park Club, in 
an appropriate speech. This trophy was a handsome 
watch fob set with jewels. 
The usual complaints as to the work of the handicap 
committee were not heard, and the committee had evi¬ 
dently made a satisfactory^ decision as to the distances, 
for their work was not criticised. 
Before the Preliminary Handicap began, there were six 
regular events shot. 
five at 15 targets each and one 
at 10 
doubles. 
The scores of the 
second 
day, May 5, follow:

May 6, Third Day. 
In one of the closest and most exciting finishes ever 
witnessed among sportsmen anywhere in the world, S. L. 
Dodds, of Hickman, Ky., won the fourth Southern 
Handicap, his score being 94 out of a possible 100. Mr. 
Dodds captured the honor over a large field, and in ad¬ 
dition to first money, won the trophy which went with 
high score. The trophy is gold with an image of a trap- 
shooter at the firing point, a clay target studded with 
diamonds completing the design. 
Mr. Dodds was in squad No. 20, and when he had 
fired the last shot on trap No. 3, the mantle of darkness 
was beginning to fall. As it was, the two or three 
squads that came after this could hardly see to finish. 
Earlier in the day it was thought that G. V. Dering 
would be the high amateur and win the event. He was 
in squad No. 4 and finished early with a score of 93. 
It was then Dering against the field. Later in the after¬ 
noon attention began to center on a young man in 
squad No. 18. It was O. E. Ewing, a popular Nashville 
gentleman, who began to shoot like a whirlwind from the 
very start. Out of his first 69 targets he lost only 4. 
Then came S. L. Dodds, who duplicated this with 56 out 
of his first 60. It was a heart-breaking race and excite¬ 
ment was intense. When the fourth event of 20 targets 
was reached, Ewing got 19 of them. Dodds came up a 
few moments later and smashed 20 straight. This put 
him one to the good over Dering and Ewing in four 
events of the five. Ewing meanwhile had finished his 
fifth event of 20 targets, getting IS of thern. Then came 
the final and supreme moment of the entire three days' 
tournament. With only one target in the lead in 80. 
and 20 more to shoot, could Dodds hold the lead and 
break as many as 18 out of 20? A throng filled with 
suppressed excitement gathered about squad No. 20t 
Darkness was almost at hand, but it seemed not to worry 
Dodds. With coolness and nerve he shattered target 
after target, and when his final target was thrown from' 
the trap, excited and joyous friends made a rush for the 
little fellow and almost carried him off his feet in their 
enthusiasm. Dering had lost, but he had made a great 
race, as had Ewing, and the two latter have the honor 
of being the runners-up in the big event, at any rate. 
Before the Southern Handicap began there were six 
regular events shot, five at 15 targets each and one at 
20 targets. "The scores of the third day. May 6, follow;
