The Pacific Coast Handicap. 

SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 12.—Sixty-six shooters indulged 
in an afternoon’s practice of six 20-target events as pre- 
liminary to the opening of the third Pacific Coast Handi- 
cap tournament, held over the traps of the Spokane Rod 
and Gun Club at beautiful Natatorium Park, this city. 
Bright, warm weather and the most favorable condi- 
tions generally surrounded the day’s sport and made the 
opening of the tournament a most auspicious one Phe 
Spokane Rod and Gun Club spent several hundred dol 
large uring the summer in preparing the grounds, en 
larging and equipping them for the handling of a big 
crowd of shooters. Secretary-Manager Elmer E. Shaner, 
of the Interstate Association, was on the grounds during 
the week previous to the opening, advising the local club 
as to its plans for entertaining the contestants. 
The Spokan Rod and Gun Club grounds form a 
natural amphitheater, with a range of lofty pines behind 
the firing points and the traps facing out across the 
beautiful Spokan River \ high blutf background in 
terfered more or less with the success of contestants un 
used to it, this appearing especially to affect the East 
erners in practice 
Sport-loving citizens ef the city, the publicity com- 
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce and business men 
were especially liberal in their support of the local club 
in handling the tournament, which for the first time in 
its history came to the Pacific Northwest They felt 
keen pride in the fact that the first move northward 
from California pointed to Spokane as the city best 
suited for holding the big event 
Practice day produced surprise in a new ground 
record for the local club, E. J. Chingren, one of 
Spokane’s best shots, broke 107 straight. He was beaten, 
however, for high average on the day by C. M. Powers, 
of Decatur, Ill, and Max E, Hensler, formerly a mid- 
dle Western amateur, but of late from Wash., 
Prosser, 
who broke 116 each to Chingren’s 115. P. J. Holohan, of 
Cwin Falls, Idaho, and Harry Ellis, of Portland, Ore., 
fared best of the professionals, the former breaking 113 
and the latter 112 
First Day. 
The first day’s shooting was featured by fine work by 


C. M. Powers and H, G. Taylor, the former breaking 
i74 and the latter 173 out of 180. During the day Taylor 
had a run of over 100 straight breaks. A cloudy sky 
and murky weather made good scores almost out of the 
question, in most cases the scores being poorer than in 
the day befor 
\ splendid watch

Second Day, Sept. Il. 
rhe surprisingly low score of 88 proved good enough to 
win the Preliminary Handicap in the second day’s shoot- 
ing at Natatorium Park. Frank Bartos, a Helena, Mont., 
amateur, captured preliminary prize. He broke 88. 
Chan. Powers, of Decatur, Ill., rated as the country’s 
foremost amateur shot, and O. N. Ford, amateur cham- 
pion of Iowa, of the Eastern delegation, had to be sat- 
ished with second money between them, landing this with 
score of 87. In all probability neither of these men 
ever won so valuable a monetary prize with so low a 
score in all their career over hundreds of fields in the 
United States. 
Local talent captured third money with 86, E. 
J. Chin- 
gren and Hugh McElroy dividing this honor between 
them. 
Fred Gilbert led the professionals with 91, and the 
veteran Tom Marshall bore up better than the majority 
of the Easterners against the discouraging conditions with 
a score of 89. So good shots as Harry Taylor and Chris. 
Gottlieb finished with only 82 breaks out of the 100 
targets. M. J. Maryott, who tied with Chan. Powers and 
Blanks for the Grand American Handicap at Chicage in 
June, finished with only 81. 
The low scores are explained in part by the steep bluff 
“ising above the Spokane River on the Fort Wright side 
across from Natatorium Park, 
ground, 
equal, 
very 
clouds 
and 
this background has 
material disadvantage 
and an intermittent 
treacherous wind blowing

On a clear day, with wind and other conditions

shooters, 
the

with 
a disagreeable 
canon 
Spckane River, the background is described as being the 
attending the

That members of the Spokane Rod and Gun Club ap- 
preciate this is evidenced by 
the 
fact tha 
t 
a 
prominent 
member of the club, speaking unofficially, said last night 
that new and better grounds would be secured by another 
year. 
The handicapping 
committee, 
composed 
of 
Ee 
Shaner, secretary of the Interstate Association, of Pitts- 
M. 
Dr. 
who 
BY 
burg, Pa., 
Decatur, 
is managing 
Fred McBroom 

the 
shoot: ‘CG, 
Spokane; 
Powers, 
ee es 
Purdy, Seattle, and J. F. Smails, Walla Walla, cannot be 
blamed for the low scores. 
The cashier’s office was in charge ‘of F. C. Whitney, 
Des Moines, Ia., and assisted by J. T. English and G. 
Letford, of Spokane, was kept busy paying yesterday. 
Many shooters have managed to make more than their 
expenses out of the pooling of the entrance and added 
moneys. The new Leggett traps, which are working 
almost perfectly, were in charge of C. A, North, of 
Cleveland, O. 
The entry lists have fallen a little below expectations, 
about seventy competing yesterday This is explained 
in part by a late harvest, the midst of the open season for 
game shooting, and the inability to secure railroad rates. 
Che attendance of spectators is remarkable. 




The sport- 
loving citizens of Spokane have been taking all the 
available space behind the ropes watching the experts. 
In the forenoon, the regular programine of 100 birds, 
four 25 and two 20 bird events, was shot off. Harry 
Taylor, of Meckling, S. D., and E. F. Confarr, of Liv- 
ingstone, Mont., both amateurs, finished with the high 
scores of 94. Mr. Bartos, who won the Preliminary 
Handicap in the afternoon, gave no inddication during 
the morning of what he intended to do in the afternoon, 
only breaking 81 out of the 100 targets.
