Third Day, Oct 20. 
The expected change in the weather reached town dur¬ 
ing the night, and the shoters woke up on Thursday 
marning to find the sun hidden by thick clouds and a 
chill in the air which brought into use all the top coats 
to be had. Arrived at the club house, we found that 
the big stove had been put in commission, and the heat 
it threw out was very pleasant. The porch was not in 
much demand to-day, the shooters getting all the air they 
cared for in a trip down the line. Tom Marshall appeared 
in a big top coat, adorned with a red carnation but he 
presented it to a visitor early in the forenoon. The boys 
did not act very anxious to get out in the open this 
morning, and Captain Skelly had some difficulty in get¬ 
ting his men started. Finally, after repeated calls of 
“Hawkins,” “Money,” “Colonel Anthony,” he got them 
under way toward the firing line at trap No. 1. In case 
some of the readers may get mixed by the names of 
Captain Skelly’s squad, not finding them on the score 
sheets, we will explain that Harold Money was imper¬ 
sonated by C. L. Nickel; Col. Antlrony by J. A. Blunt, 
and J. M. Hawkins by Walter Huff. Later in the day 
the squad got one over on Captain Skelly, who kept 
them waiting a minute, but he said that Elmer told him 
he could take his time, being the captain. The first 
shot was fired at 9:07, and the first five events were fin¬ 
ished at 11:40, when the usual halt was had-, and the 
hungry ones hiked for the lunch tent, to partake of fried 
chicken, pie and coffee. At this point the shooters were 
placed as follows: Crosby leading the professionals, and 
the field, with 125 straight, a score not to be beaten: 
Huff, German and Lyon were next with 124'; Bills and 
Johnny Taylor had 123 each. Graham was high in the 
amateur ranks with 122. Barto and Kneussl, 121 each. 
At exactly 12 o’clock the squad hustlers got busy and 
had the first squad out for the sixth event. The last 
event at singles was finished at 2 o’clock, and the last 
squad sheet in the doubles was passed into the office 
window at 2:30. Some scores suffered a little to-day, as 
the clouds made it rather dark and a strong wind affected 
the flight of the targets to some extent. In the eight 
events at singles Bills and Lyon tied for high profes¬ 
sional score with 197 each; Crosby got 196; German, Max¬ 
well -and J. Taylor, 195. The amateurs produced a man 
who tied with the high professionals, Graham scoring 
197. Kneussl came next with 194; Powers and Barto, 
193 each. The professionals had all the best of it in the 
event at doubles, Bills, Stannard and Gilbert scoring 
46 each; Lyon and Spencer 45 each, and Croby 43. High 
amateur honors were divided by Fuller and Graham on 
42 each; Wise and Webster, 41 each, and Nickle and 
J. Young, 40 each. On the entire program Bills was high 
professional with 243; Lyon, 242; German, 241; Gilbert 
and Crosby 239 each. A pretty even race between the 
three high ones. J. Graham was high amateur with 239; 
Powers and Barto, 232 each; J. Young and Fuller 231. 
Squad 5, German, J. -Young, Barto, Stannard and Wett- 
leaf, made a good record in event 5, breaking a total of 
124; Wettleaf was the guilty one, and had to- pack the 
guns of his squadmates to the house. This record held 
good until the eighth event, when squad 2, Bills, Fuller, 
Powers, Crosby and Graham, broke ’em all, and made 
what proved to be the squad record for the tournament. 
Fritz Gilbert says you don’t have to pump him to get a 
quarter out of him. White, of Butterpint, Ky., tried it, 
but whether he succeeded in his attempt at a holdup was 
not stated. Shaner was singing this morning. That’s 
always a sign that everything is going fine, and you 
can expect to hear him warble about next to the last day 
of any tournament he is running. One of Billy Heer’s 
dogfish got loose and started a howl when Fritz Gilbert 
and “Duck Call” Ditto struck up a rag-time melody. 
For an ending to the record of this day’s work follows 
a few of the long runs. Graham had 143 without a miss,; 
this included the last 91 of the day before. George Max¬ 
well broke 33 this morning and had the last 122 of Wed¬ 
nesday, making a total of 155. Lyon got 106 this morn¬ 
ing and 33 from the 19th made his total 139. Huff 
made the second longest run of the day, breaking 123 in 
the first six events. Crosby was high on this day with 
12S in the first six events, his total continuous run being 
140. German finished a continuous run of 110, missing 
the first target in the fourth event. Scores:

Fourth Day, Oct. 21. 
The shooters got it good and plenty to-day, and the 
pleasant days of the first of the week were recalled with 
regret The patter of rain greeted them when they turned
