ANTIOCH. May 30.-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 day 5
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
Bekeart's 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 a
circus, and 1t 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
