San Francisco Expert Pronounces the

Used

The first practice shoot of the Los
Angeles Revolver club took place last
Wednesday evening on the new indoor
range in the Home Telephone building,
716 South Olive street, and good scores
were made in spite of the fact that
the members have not had the oppor-
tunity to puncture the twenty-yard
target for some little time.
Several of the leading members of
the club have been hard at work night
and day for several weeks getting the
gallery in readiness, and the result Is
that the Los Angeles club has the fin
est and best equipped range on the
Pacific coast. II. j. Frazer of the Col
den Gate Rife and Pistol club of San
Francisco was present and said that
the Los Angeles range was the best
he has ever seen. He stated that he
had shot in the indoor ranges in San
Francisco and Oakland. but that they
did not equal the local gallery.
Makes 90 Score
J. w. Siefert, a new member of the
club, surprised those present by maxi
ing a score of 80, the highest made
during the evening.
Everything worked to perfection and
the clang and spatter of the lead bull
lets against the steel background
caused a continual din which was kept
up until a late hour.
The Los Angeles marksmen now have
everything in readiness for the United
states Revolver Association Indoor
league contests. which begin the first
part of December.
Should the weather prevent the use
OF the outdoor range on Sunday, all
contests as we'll as practice will be
held on the indoor range.
Good scores also were made on the
outdoor range ON Bishop street yes
terday. j. A. Kicker has lately be-
come a member of the club and was
present yesterday but did not shoot for
scores.

In fact the controversy as TO the iden-

Here we have two plants mentioned,
with an overwhelming majority In favor
of common white clover. Speaking for
Ireland. the plant lives through tho
winter, being perennial but In the open
pastures Its SUMMED foliage Is either

the leaves are still small and far apart.

traditional shape and green throughout.
