LOW SCORES In GALE
BY TRAPSHOOTERS
Lakewood Shoot Depletes Ranks
of N. Y. A. c. Gunners in
Weekly Meet.

owing to the fact that the majority OF
the gunners were at Lakewood, n. j.
only a small field took part in the weekly
shoot Of the New York Athletic Club at
Travers Island yesterday. The conditions
were absolutely the worst that the gun
ners nave been compelled to face so far
this season. Not only did 1t rain
throughout the greater part Of the after
noon. butNa three reefed gale blew from
the northeast and whirled the targets all
over the lot.
Under the circumstances IT is astonish-
ing that the Nimrods were able to kill
any OF the tiny clay pigeons. The fact
that the scratch shoot was taken by a
score Of 60 out Of a possible 100 targets
is no disgrace. Conrad Stein. the winner,
did the best all around work Of the day.
Not only was he high scratch gunner. but
he also was the high handicap marksman
Of the afternoon. However he could not
win both prizes. so the latter trophy was
awarded TO w. Il. ogden.
Mr.. Stein. however, managed TO capture
two other prizes. He took the Monthly
Gun with 2 total of 10 out of a possible
q targets and followed the win by annex
ing the Accumulation Cup. In the latter
event he had one more target to his
credit In the Travers Island Trophy, Mr..
Stein tied \ W Church for the cup. los
ing the shoot-on by a score of 20 to ls
targets
Mr.. Church also was a double winner,
capturing. in addition to the Travers
Island prize. the weekly shoot for the
Distance cup In the Variety Cup. A. w.
Church tied with DR. T. r. DeWolfe'
each having Il targets TO his credit No
shoot-off was held. as 1t was then toe
dark TO see the bluerocks. The club CUP
was taken by W. B. ogden.
