WORLD'S RECORD IS BROKEN Two Missourians Make Olean Score in Team Contest, OMAHA MARKSMEN ARE CLOSE BEHIND Loen Mo [ Contestants Bring Down Dozen Birds with First Bar mplons Will Be Matched Today. All shooting records were broken by two of the Kancas Cliy contigent in tie Omaha- Kansas City live bird contest yesterday &t the Dupont Gun club grounds, C. Cock- rell and Allen of the Missouri team making clean score of fifty birds. Fifty birds have been killed without a miss before, but never before in the history of the American assocl- ation bave they been brought down in an event where ten-men teams contested. The highest previous record was for.y-n.né birls, while the highest record previously estab lished In the Omaha-Kansas ( champlon- ship contests was forty-elght. This score was made by Hardin last year at Omaha and Cockrell the year hefore at Kansas City. The day was ideal for shooting and the men of both teams were in good form. The Pewult was that the scores ally higher than those of former und while Omaha is five birds behind the men from the mouth of the Kaw, the team has the satisfaction of knowing that It has shown no rigns of degeneration. The score further shows that while Kansas City's team 1 credited with five birdk to the good, the Nobreskans killed dozen more with the first barrel than their competitors. This may mean much or little, as many times, no doubt, the birds were dead at the first shot. the second nssurance doubly Cockrell gene years, an ey being made to make Mukes Stenight Se re. Tho contest opened with C. Cockrell of Kansas City at the traps. His first bird wis a left quarter from the fourth trap. It required the second barrel to make a Killipg. From thet Yime it was “tang, bang. bang,” ani a world’s record was broken when ho lald down his gun after the fiftiet). pigeon had fallen For Omaha W. Hardin waa pitted against the record-break om Kansas Clty. His first bird, from the first trap, started di- rectly for his gun barrel, and one shot set- tled matters with it. This encouraged the home team, but its joy was short, for the birds came from the trap 1n a manner to mystify the most experienced ghot. The thivd, the (wenty-eightli, the thirty-second, the thirty-ifth, the thirty-elghth, the forty« first, and the forty-elghth birds were clean mivses, while four others fell out of bounds. The score of thirty-seven was a surprise anu & dampener (o the Omaha team and its triends. Brusheim Omaha follo "ed and failed to add to the pleasure of the day for the home team when he missed his first bird a left incomer from the third trap. He immediately braced up and ended with a 82010 of forty-three, losing one bird because the bounds were not of greater extent. W. A. Smith, who went against this score on the part of Kansas City emulated his rival by missing his first bird, a straight away trom the first trap. After losing one bird which fell out of bounds, his score was found to bo forty, and the spirits of the men of Omaha began to rise. F. N. Cockrell of Kansas City added to their hopes by missing his first bird, which came from the fourth trap as a right-quar- ter outgoer. Four of his dead birds fell bogond fhe bounds and his credited score was forty-one, Excellent Work of Kimbdll, R. Kimball, for Omaha, kiiled his first bird, which came directly toward him, from the first trap. Three of his birds fell be- yond the bounds and his score was forty- seven, although he killed every bird At this point Omaha was but two birds behind and the outcome of the day was very much in doubt when Allen of Kansas City camie to the fore. His first bird was a difi- of *cult right-quarter from the third trap. It took two barrels to bring it to the ground and then the Missourlan proceeded to kill fitty pigeons without stopping and every one of them fell inside of the hounds. Omaha was then seven birds behind the visitors and galned but two during the day. Thomas Kimball, for Omaha, killed his first bird, an Incomer, from trap 6. Ho mgsed but two, but three fell outside of ds and his score was entered as forty- George Loomis of Omaha had better luck than his confrore, losing but one bird on account of the boundaries, but his total Kkilling was ouly forty-six. He lost his first bird and then two others. Tom Norton, for Kansas City, opened his foning by killing his first bird, a straight- away, from the third trap with one shot. Four birds fell out of bounds and his total was forty-two. “Plumber’ Read of Omaha scored a miss on his first bird, which salled away from him on the left quarter. He lost three birds, which fell out of bounds, and missed four others, closing with a total score of forty- two.

Elilott of Kansas City and Parmelce of Omaha will probably be pitted against each other and the home team s counting much on Dan Bray. The Omaba men, with five birds against them, realize that they will have hard work in winning the contest, but their hopes aro high and thelr detor- mination unshaken. A large number of per- “ons not angaged In the contest were pres- ent yesterday and with the “big men” up today there will be a larger number in at tendance. For these people the club has arranged a number of live bird and target sweepstakes.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.—Persistent foullng lost Dave Suliivan of New York his fight with Ole Olson tonight at the Illinois Athletic club, After the first round, In which he had decidedly the worst of it Bullivan resorted to choking and elbowing in the clinches, despite the constant warn- ings of Referec Sfler to desist Finally, in the third round, the New Yorker's un: fair tactics became so flagrant that Siler was compelled to disqualify him and give the fight to Olson. The fight s far as it wont was a lively affair. Olson staggered Sulllyan with two stralght lefts to the jaw during the first three minutes and had constderably the better of it at the end of the round. No complaint could be made on Sullivan’'s work In this round, but in the vecond round he seemed determined to rough It classed Olson and at the end of the second round matters stood about even Sulll- van's behavior in the next round was worse than In the preceding. As soon as Sullivan would get fn a clinch he would entwine both hands around O'son’'s throat and hang on_until the referee pried them apart Sallivan_was cautioned for cach offense und it was plainly evident that he was making no effort to fight fair. Sullivan protested vigorously at the verdict, but it avalled him nothing. French Wrestler W W YORK, Nov. 30.-—-Paul ch wrestfer, tonight at Central paloce, succeeded in putting John Pioning of this city to the boards twice in succession after a most Interesting, al- thoa ne-sided wrestling bout. The men wrestled under the Graeco-Roman rules, best two fn three falls. The Frenchman assumed the aggressive a8 #oon as the men had shaped themselves, trying all sorts of bodyholds and succeeded in’ Hooring Plening after one minute of wrestling. But the New Yorker regained his feet and came back cautiously. The men pulled and tugged each other, Pons always being the aggressor. After’ about twen'y minutes of this work the French- man tried & hammer ho'd, but failed. Again he tried & hammer hold, Plening flooring him. On his third try for a hammer hold Ploning wna prepared, but Pons varied his hammer hold to a half-Nelson and threw the New Yorker like & log. Time of fall, ;31 The second bout was simply a_repetition of the first. Pons was always on the ag- ressive and swung his attack from the ammer hold to a half-Nelson. Pons again lured his opponent into a trap and for the second time Ploning went to the floor, Pons Kotting tge second fall and winning the match. e of second fall, 3:21. Lyons Easily Defeats Kane. DENVER, Noy. .—Harry Lyons of Chi- cago won from Jack Kane of 8an Francisco in seven rounds of what was to have been a ten-round Ko before the Colorado Athletic association tonight. With Kane's lert e: swollen shut and his face and breast cov- ered with blood, which was flowing in streams from his ‘nose. the referee awarded the fight to Lyons at the end of the seventh round 1t wos @ humane step, as Kane's condition was pitiable. ~Kane was very game, howaver, and willingly-mixed 1t up with 'Lyons, although his damaged eye- sight prevented anything like accuracy in hitting. Lyons outclassed Kane in every way and finished the fight without a scratch and ia apparently in as good con dition as when he entered the ring. Chicago Live Stock Show.
