J ANTIOCH. May 3O.-This was a remark
ably fine day for bluerock shooting
scarcely any wind and the weather balmy.
The whole town turned out to witness the
events of the closing day of the seventh
tournament of the California Inanimate
Target Association. Several crack shots
who failed to get here for the first days
shooting arrived and participated in to-
days events.
The feature to-day was the shooting Of
what was termed the awkward squad.
This was composed of men who had never
before shot at sailing clay saucers. AS
semblyman BelShaw received the trophy
in this event, but it is said that Phil
Bekearts green jacket, which was
loaned to BelshaW for the occasion, was
the mascot that enabled him to win. The
shooting of the awkward squad was to
the tournament what the clown is to
circus, and it created a great deal OF fun.
The target smashers are more than
pleased with their treatment at the hands
of the local clubs and the people OF An
tioch. Last night they were amused at
a show by Zamloch, the conjuror, and
tonight they were forgetting loved ones
at home while basking in the smiles OF
Antioch's fairest at a dance given in their
honor in the pavilion by the Antioch Gun
Club. Many of the marksmen left for
home on the Stockton steamer tonight
after the dance

In the shoot-off between Hyde and Feud-
ner Hyde scored 20 straight and Feudner

vidual trophy, twenty singles. 10 zoe dosS; nios
scores of 20 straight. In the shoot-oH
Ross broke Is, Nauman IS and Schultz %,
