and Is Out.

E. J. Chingren, president of the
Spokane Rod & Gun club, who was
entered in the shooting tournament
under the auspices of the local organl-
cation last week. who was expected
to make an excellent showing and to
take some of the big prizes, has an
nounced that he will not take part
in eastern events as he had planned,
owing to the condition of his hands,
which will place him ION the shelf
until the Boosters" shoot in Ana
conda, and the Pacific coast handicap
in August.
Chingren, who was entered for the
Grand American handicap in Chica-
go ON June 1925, and had expected to
compete with crack shots in a dozen
eastern cities, two years ago in chi
cago scored "a out of 100 at Is yards,

his hands in such condition that the
