In the big event he was shot out on the 32d bird." http://www.la84foundation.org/Sports.../SL3504011.pdf http://www.la84foundation.org/Sports.../SL3504012.pdf http://www.la84foundation.org/Sports.../SL3504016.pdf Guns: Parker - 73, Smith - 34, Greener - 19, Francotte - 19, Daly - 12, Remington - 10, Lefever - 7, Scott - 7, Winchester - 5, Cashrnore - 5, Purdey - 3, Baker - 2, Colt - 2, Richards - 2, Marlin, Prechtel, Grant, Webley, Stannard, Forehand, Syracuse, Churchill, Claybrough - 1 each.

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? . |
