The San Francisco call., 1895-07-15
SHOT At SHELL MOUND.
Mocker Defeats Utschig for
One of the Medals by
One Ring.
Stiff BreezeS All the Afternoon
Interfered Somewhat With
the Shooting.

Marksmen were out in pretty fair force
at the rife-ranges at Shell Mound Park
yesterday afternoon. The scores were not
quite so strong as usual, owing in large
part to the capers of the wind, but the
sport proved interesting, as it always does.
The closest work and the most exciting
was done at the targets of the San Fran
cisco Schuetzen Verein in the champion
medal shoot. John Utschig, whose prowess
at the butts has passed into an axiom, did
some exceptionally fine work, finishing
with clean center. The medal seemed to be
his beyond peradventure, when A. Mocker
began banging away at the target. He
knocked the bullseye any number of times,
and still no one believed that he would
pass the score of 432 rings made by Uts-
CHG. He did, however. just one ring, and
carried away the medal in triumph. John
Peters, with a score of SS7, was in the lead
in the first class. The second-class prize
was not won. n. Ahrens took the third
class with a score of 416, and John Tiede-
mann took the fourth class with score OF
374. II. Hellberg made the best first shot
with % rings, and John Utschig the best
last shot with 25.
