MANY BLUEROCKs BROKEN
IN GOLDEN GATE CLUBS
MONTHLY SHOOT
Races for Medal and Merchan-
disc and Dupont Trophy
Are on the Card

The Golden Gate gun clubs monthly
bluerock shoot did not attract very
large attendance of powder burners TO
the Ingleside grounds yesterday Sew
eral club members who missed the last
shoot were out to make up their back
scores, but many Of the old timers
whose names We're generally found on
the tally sheet failed to appear, their
absence being due to the fact that aoNe
shooting and deer hunting furnished
better sport than bluerock smashing.
The usual two races at 25 targets
each were pulled off, and the Du Pont
trophy was also shot for. The two club
races were distance handicap affairs,
the first being a medal and the second
a merchandise event. The first race, at
unknown traps and known angles,
brought II shooters to the firing line,
and in the second event, in which traps
and angles were unknown and the use
of both barrels was allowed. is toed the
Stats.
Elson came nearest to making a
straight score by smashing "a targets
at 81 yards rise in the merchandise
event, and Converse, shooting as
guest from the 1 yard Stat, broke % in
the same race. The shoot for the Du
Pont trophy was target handicap,
with all contestants shooting at 16
yards rise
