GUNNERS OUT IN RAIN AND SLEET
Crescent Shooters Make Good Scores Despite
Heavy Obstacles.

In spite of the driving rain yesterday four trap
shooting enthusiasts Of the Crescent Athletic Club
reuorted at the Parkway Driving Club and decided
several interesting events. Never in the history or
the New Moon gunners has the day been so miser-
able for the sport. Right in the face OF the ram
and sleet the marksmen shot, and, under the con-
dittons the scores were surprisingly good. It was
the intention the Crescent gunners to start sew
eraI season events yesterday, but so few guns re-
ported at traps that the scratch and the team
shoot were the only competitions
F. w Moffett won the scratch shoot and the
team race was taken by the same gunner and his
mariner c. Grinnel jr. There was no shoot for
the December Cup.
