THE SUNLIGHT
WAS TOO STRONG
And Somewhat Affected
the Rife Scoring
Yesterday.
Monthly Medal Shoots at Schuet-
zen Park Were Well
Attended.
PRIVATE MATCH MKT SUNDAY
Crmpar atively Few Clubs Went Out
10 Shell Mound, but Competi.
tion Was Keen.

There was great activity at the Schuet-
zen Park ranges yesterday afternoon, but
the turnout at Shell Mound was rather
smaller than usual. At both places, owing
to the strong yet uncertain sunlight, the
scoring rarely rose above the average.
Nevertheless, though no records were
broken, every club represented did fairly
well, and competition in all cases proved
keen and exciting.
The Schuetzen Park programme con-
sisted of monthly medal shoots almost ex-
clusively, in which the following took
part: The California Schuetzen Club the
GrutIi Shooting Section, the Verein Elm
tracht and panies D andH of.the First
Regiment n. G. c., from San Francisco
and of the Fifth from San Rafael, respec-
lively. Nearly forty mem bers shot at the
ranges of the California Schuetzen Club,
and the other club ranges were proper
tionately well patronized.
In the course of the afternoon F. c. Null
Ter of Company H undertook to shoot
against time and succeeded in firing ten
shots in two minu es, with score of 43
out of a possible So It should also be
added that he received no assistance what
ever in loading. One other ra ther unusual
incident marked a somewhat uneventful
day. August Hampel, who is generally
conceded TO be the prospective winner of
the California Schuetzen Clubs $40 me edal
in the fourth class, M anaged TO add a
pigeon to his list of trophies. This he
accomplished unintentionally, the bird
crossing the line of fire just as he dis
charged his rife.
A. Strecker of the same club again car
ried off the hampionship-class medal
with a score of ABB rings. ]. Utschig won
se cond prize with score of Ais. In the
Grutli Clubs competition +. Baumgart-
neP came first with 400 rings, while the
frst-class medal fell 10 U. Diethelm. who
scored 401. ]. Young of the Verein Elm
tracht was awarded the medal in the
championship class for score of 403
rings, I. Binner following with 305 points.

tion by scoring what was virtually a dead
center, and Emil Woenne will privately
compete for purse of $40. Mr. Wollmer
was formerly member of the Zeter Rifle
Club of New York and has only recently
Joined the California Schuetzen Club. In
accordance with the inva riable rule of the

may be accepted as criterion, it will not
be long before he will lead older mem bers
than himself.
