The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-07-01

work done, and in some instances excel
lent scores were made. No association or
targets of honor were used to-day, only
those open to all corners, namely, the |
point, standard. ring and man targets.
The former has black of twelve inches |
in diameter, divided into three yards, the
inner bullseye circle being three inches in
diameter and counts three points. The
next is a circle of six inches in diameter
and counts two points. The balance OF the
clock counts one point. AS each ticket en-
titles the holder to ten shots the highest
possible score on this target is 30.
The American standard has black of
IL inches diameter. The bullseye, or inner
ring, counts 10, the next 9, 8, and re-
spectively. AS each ticket entities the
holder to five shots the maximum score
is so.
The public ring target is divided into 25
rings, three-fourths of an inch apart, the
black being II inches in diameter and
containing rings Is to 25.
The balance of the target, which is white,
contains rings to II. Cards for this target
call for three shots, which make the high
est possible score rs.
The New York Marksmen, Independent
Elite German-American Schuetzen Corps,
the City Schuetzen, the letters and others
were well represented.
The st. Louis Independent Schuetzen
did not try very hard as one of them said
there is plenty of time yet Rifemen from
the vicinity OF this city were very in
dtistrious. Gebhard Krauss of the
Brooklyn Schuetzen Gezellschaft dis
tinguished himself by winning the first
gold medal. Staten Island was repre-
sented by Helbi, Neies and Seidel, three
marksmen who should be heard from later
on.
The palm, however was borne off by the,
Columbia Rifle Company of San Francisco.
Blodan set runaway pace with the fol-
lowing fine score: 46 on the standard
(highest possible 50), and 70 on the ring
target (highest possible 75.)
He was followed by his clubmate
Strecker. the victor at the recent shooting
tournament at Milwaukee, who is not only
considered the champion of the. Pacific
Slope, but the best shot in the world. The
crack upheld his high reputation.
He tied Blodan's 46 on the standard, he
surpassed him on the ring by scoring 73
out of a possible rs, and he duplicated his
record breaking feat at Milwaukee by
again scoring 81 on the man target. His
single shots at the latter were two 20's and
three 1875.
Gus Zimmerman. the New York crack,
was in fine form. He shot thrice 46 on the
standard, thrice II, and once 20 on the
ring, an excellent showing.
