CONDITIONS AID
THE MARKSMEN
After a Foggy Morning the
Sky Clears and Good
Results Are Obtained

The crack of the rife was incessant
yesterday at Shell Mound Park. Dur
ing the early hours the fog interfered
somewhat with the marksmen, who
were eager to place center shots, but
as noon approached the sky cleared
and the afternoon was an ideal one for
rife shooting.
William Dressler of the Redmens S
SchuetZen shot in good form. He
captured the champion class medal,
made the best first shot of the day
and carried off Captain L. Siebe's
medal for making the best center in
the bullseye target. The best bullseye
of the day was made by Otto Bremen
in the Germania Schuetzen Club, who
scored the excellent record of IS
points. AT first it was thought this
shot was a true center, but the test
of the measuring machine gave it the
true location.
In the competition shoot ofsthe San
Francisco Schuetzen Verein Captain
H. Stelling made the good score of 73
rings out of a possible rs, placing him
high man for the day. He was close
72 and II. In the same club G. H.
Bahrs carried off the honors for first
bullseye with 410 points.
The veterans of the National Guard
made an excellent showing with the
old Springfield rifle at the Blunt tar
get. More than one half of the mem
bers who participated scored 80 per
cent or more, an evidence that a little
more practice will bring them back
to the old form. Otto Nolte and Cap
tain j. E. Klein of the vets, two we'll
known rifiemen, held a private match
and each scored % points out of a
possible % at 200 yards.
Martin T. BlaSSe, in the Golden Gate
Club competition, made the excellent
score of 229 rings in ten shots, being
an average of almost % out of pos
sible rs. He also scored the most
flags of the day for center shots.
