Several Important Compe-
titions Were Decided
Yesterday.

Diamond Medal Is Won
by N. Fredericks.
Bullssye and Monthly Medal Shoots
Draw CrowGs-Marksmen Also
Sloot for Turkeys.

Yesterday was field day at the schuet-
zen Park ranges. and several important
events were decided among the various
organizations which there do congregate.
Admittedly the most exciting of such
contests was the final bullseye shoot for
men OF the California Schuetzen Club,
which completed the series for the year,
and gave the much coveted diamond
medal to n. Fredericks. These shoots
have been held every third Sunday in the
month since January last, and under the
rules and regulations which govern the
award the result is based upon the seven
best centers of possible twelve for the
year. Every com petitor is allowed twenty
shots during each monthly shoot, and of
these twenty the best center goes to his
credit and is measured to the thousandth
part of an inch. n. Fredericks, the for
tuDate winner of the trophy, had an ag-
gregate score of 1910 points for seven GEN.
ters measured, or an average of a fraction
over 472 points.
Albert Ehrenpfort, who won the medal
last year, was apparently out of the run
ming on this occasion, the champions
keenest rivals being A. Strecker with
1916 points, o. Bremen with 1921 points
and II. Schrader with 4l98. Fredericks is
mem Der of some iour or five years
standing, and, though in every respect
first-class shot, has never before held the
diamond medal.
The highest average for the year, which,
it will be understood, is estimated in in
verse proportion TO the number of points,
does not always represent the best single
individual performance. TIE most sensa-
tional center yesterday, for example, fell
to h. Kuhls, a cadet, who could not on
that account compete with members of
hie her grade.
He scored what was virtually dead
center, or only the sixty-sixth one thou
sandth part of an inch away t erefrom,
and will be awarded a special prize G.
Eging Won the monthly bullseye shoot
with 80 points, and A. Breuss followed
with 145. The comp plete scores are APP
pel.ded, the first seven being given in or
