The Pacific Coast Handicap. 
Sept. 12, Third Day. 
(Cont nued from page 47") ) 
RAIN fell steadily throughout the final day of the tour- 
nament, and made the competition for the feature event 
a question of nerve and endurance, for there was no 
encouragement to the contestant afflicted with hard luck 
at deceptive targets. Everything pointed against good 
shooting, yet the scores generally were better than those 
of the day before. To a certain extent the good scores 
made it apparent that the bad background, which was 
so fully criticized for the low scores of yesterday, is 
only its worst under certain weather conditions. A 
treacherous wind blew down the canon of the Spokane 
River yesterday, which made the targets hard to locate 
against the high river bluff. To-day, in the drizzle, but 
with the wind steady, the shooting was decidedly better. 











M. E. Hensler captured the blue ribbon event with a 
score of 93, a remarkable record under the discouraging 
conditions. The 93 proved three points better than the 
score that won second money. 
Second to Hensler were three men, of whom one, E. 
J. Chingren, was a local man. Chingren’s score was 90. 
This score was made jointly by Del Cooper, of Tacoma, 
Wash., and G. C. Mapes, of Boise, Idaho. 
In the five regular events, Fred Gilbert broke 100 
straight, a performance that was positively marvelous 
in the face of existing conditions. 
At the conclusion of the day’s shooting, Secretary- 
Manager Shaner, of the Interstate Association, presented 
the trophies. 
The close of the tournament was marked by scenes 
of joviality and good sportsmanship. There were rounds 
cf cheers for all who had helped make the tournament a 
success, including Manager Shaner, Cashier Whitney, 
Charley North, Tom Ware, the Spokane Rod and Gun 
Club, the leading prize winners, and everybody who 
made himself more or less conspicuous in the tourna- 
ment. 
For general average among the amateurs, H. G. 
Taylor was in first place with 363 out of 380 shot ‘at; 
C. M. Powers was second with 359; W. S. Hoon and 
2. F. Confar were tied for third with 348. 
For general average among the professionals, Fred 
Gilbert was in first place with 360 out of 380 shot at; 
larry Ellis was in second place with 347, and Chris. 
Gottlieb was third with 242. 
The purse in the Preliminary Handicap was divided as 
follows F. Bartos, $73.90; C. M. Powers and O. N. 
653.75 each; E, J. Chingren and H. McElroy, 
$ each; T. B. Ware and G. E. Stacey, $21.80 each;

Notes. 
Papa Finley did not shoot so well, but he was there 
with his gin rickety Jersey on, and we are sorry he had 
to drink water. And duves? ‘‘Let Papa have him; the 
last shot gets him.” 
Aaron Penfield was on the grounds doing good work, 
but where was he at night. 
On Wednesday morning Hatcher was suddenly taken 
with a fit, and after rubbing him down he was able to 
stand. On going to the score he never recovered until 
he broke 135 straight. 
Kid Anthony was present in all his glory, looking for 
a nice quick, snappy pull. 
Why could not Harold Money shoot at a dove with- 
out first calling pull? 
Dingy Gibbs would have shot better had he not tried 
to keep pace with Papa Finley. 
Where was Uncle ill Joyner that first night? - What 
was the matter with his nose? 
YT. Dill was .stiil chawin’ and hittin’ ’em. 
SHOOTER, 
Independent Gun Club. 
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 21.—Notwithstanding the sum- 
mer heat of Saturday, Sept. 21, over twenty members of 
the Independent Gun Club, of Philadelphia, attended the 
shoot at Holmesburg Junction, on the grounds of the 
Keystone Shooting League. Capt. H. Landis David 
donated the prize, and though a silver trophy was ex- 


pected, it turned out to be a gold one—i. e., a twenty- 
dollar coin. It looked good to the majority, and the 
20-yarders made special vows to be in at the finish. 
Conditions were 100 targets in five events of 20, first 20 
from distances imposed by club committee, events there- 
after on a sliding scale, only the high man stood at 
20yds., whether the score was 18, 19 or 20. This some- 
times put scores of 16 on the 17yd. mark; in fact, three 
times out of the four, this happened, as but two straights 
were made during the afternoon, and Neaf Apgar was 
the man behind both times. Nineteen was good work 
on the stiff 60yd. target, and not very many successive 
19s were shown. 
President Frank Eames and A. Ballentyne tied on 88 
and divided the prize. Mink and Tansey were within 
two of the leaders, and Landis scored 85, 
The Fox hammerless gun, donated to the club by 
Mr. A. H. Fox, is probably the next prize to be shot 
for, and a series of shoots will keep up the interest all 
through the winter months. Scores:
