THE SHELL MOUND RANGE
Marksmen Contend Against
Bad Light and Shifting
Winds.
COLUMBIAN
SCORES.
THE
Many German Riflemen Contest for
Cash Prizes and Several Club
Medals.

The pride of local rilemen in their pro-
fciency with the rifle induces them to
keep in practice and take few shots at
the target every time an opportunity pre-
sents itself. although there may not be
any special event upon the tapis. Yester-
day was not pleasant day for shooting,
for the light was varying and the wind
shifting. For all that nearly every shoot
ing stand at the Shell Mound range was
occupied by military marksmen and shoot
ing clubs all day.
Early in the day DR.. L. 0. Rodgers of the
Colum bia Pistol and Rife Club went out
on the bay beach and, with 22-caliber
pistol, killed a sand-snipe at fully 100
yards, and this killing led many to say
that he put "hoodoo" on the range for
the day. The doctor. however, regarded
it as his mascot, as he went to the head OF
the list on the Banding medal shoot.
In the pistol contest for medals by the
Columbia Club the following scores were
made:
Champion class-C. NJ. Daiss 80, S. Carr SO,
F. 0. Young S5, L. Barrere 76.
First class-A. B. Dorrell 80. DR.. L. o. Rodgers

The Germania Schuetzen Clubs monthly
bullseye shoot brought large number of
the hair-trigger marksmen, who shot all
day., hardly stopping long enough for
lunch, with these results:
Champion class medal Dr. L. O. Rodgers, 435
rings first class medal, Hermann Huber 425
rings; second class, not won; third class, n.
Ahrens, 433 rings; fourth class, H. Burfelnd,
395 rings. The possible was 500.
The results of the July and August
monthly shoots had never been determined,
owing to the measuring machine becoming
out of order. Yesterday the bullseyes were
measured, showing these winners:
