James Malone, the winner of second place, shot a hard race, but luck was against him. His first barrel kills in the shoot-off were simply marvelous, many fast birds being doubled up without a flutter the instant the gun cracked. He used a Parker gun, weighing 7-15, 3 1/2 drams Schultze powder in U.M.C. Trap shells, 1 1/4 oz. 7 1/2 and 7 shot.

I wonder if the Parker Daly borrowed from duBray was his AA Pigeon T/A hammer gun?
