The San Francisco call., 1898-01-24
Shooting at Shell Mound Under Natural Dis
 advantages.
However, the Worlds Pistol Record Was Beaten by
 J. E. German.
Unusually Low Scores on Account of the Prevailing Wind and
 Cold.

The knights of the trigger and target had very unfavorable natural condi- tions to work against yesterday, a strong wind and a decidedly cold at mosphere making good scores difficult for all and impossible for most of the marksmen. The leading clubs were represented, but there were fewer par ticipants in the various contests than there would have been had the weather been more suspicious for the trials of the marksman's skill. As a natural consequence of existing conditions the scores were unusually low, and many a crack shot grumbled at the showing he made and got what small satisfaction he could by taking it out on the weather
 But 1T the scores in general were poor there was some shooting done which rendered the day notable in the annals or the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club This was the pistol shooting of J. E.. Gorman, who made a fifty-yard ten- shot score of 29 as follows: 3-3-5-4-4-4- 3-1-1-L. In points this ties the worlds record score of 29 made by c. M. Daiss or the same club last October, but MT. Gorman's score beats that one on the Creedmoor count, thus making a new worlds record in this class.
 The clubs pistol medal shoot for the day presents the following score: J. E. German, 29-3S-45; F. 0. Young. 47 In the rifle shoot for the Bushnell trophy the score was: F. O. Young, 46-46-46- 46; J. E. German, 46-45; E. Jacobson. 46-45.
