Richardson Leads New

The Brownsville Skeet and Gun
club got off to a good start in its
opening shoot Wednesday afternoon
when the field was led by the fast
firing Harry Richardson, who broke

H. D. Seago. who recently returned
from vacation il the Great Lakes
region, had his eye on the pigeons,

plished the same feat.
This was the first shoot conduct
ed by the newly formed club. It's
range is located between the Los
Fresnos and old Point Isabel roads
just to the rear of the Buena Vista
cemetery. The best way to arrive
at the clubs grounds is by the old
Point road, from which the range
is visible.
Several innovations have been
adopted by the club. The shoots
are conducted in lids Of five.
This makes for faster rounds and
eliminates the long waits, F. B. Arm

rounds took from 10 to 10 minutes

colored bird is thrown from the
traps unexpectedly. If the gunner
breaks it, he is given his targets

Now the uniform de rigeur is a

Fast Curves and
Hits Glue Opener
To Chicago Cubs
INV the Associated Press

Reports the Cubs were cracking
seem to have been exaggerated.
Fresh from two ~larrupings by the
Braves in three games, the Chicago
contenders stepped into the Polo
Grounds yesterday and cracked
curves and fast ones up against the
walls with such abandon the Giant
outer-patrol ran itself dizzy. The
Bruins won the opener of the five
game series, 6 to 2, but it seemed
ike an Irish mile.
Turned back in the first assault,
the Giants faced the necessity OF
winning all four of the remaining
games if they were to displace the
Cubs in the second position in this
series. A double-header was on the
card beneath Coogan's bluff today,
with single games scheduled for to-
morrow and Saturday. Meanwhile
the Pirates will be gamboling in
Baker Bowl with the Phillies, whom
they defeated yesterday by Is to
8 in a home run orgy.
The Buccaneers now lead Chi
Cago by n and one-half games,
and the chances for either the
Giants or the Cubs to gain in the
immediate future are slim. The
four remaining Cub-Giant games
at the Polo Grounds are likely to
be divided evenly, and the Phillies
are poor hands to depend upon to
stop a team like the Pirates under
the circumstances.
William Watson Clark outpitched
Jess Haines and Fred Farmhouse
to enable Brooklyn to win the
opener of its series against the
Cardinals, 9 to 6. This victory
again pulled the Robins within

THIRD mile IS
LONG TO CREW
Columbia Wins Race By
Steady Beat Over
Rough Course
By WILLIAM J.. CHAPMAN
Associated Press Sports WRITER

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. T., July IL.
-(R1-The third mile is the long
mile in a crew race and another
regatta has been rowed with that
next to the last mile still supreme.
Columbia o. from a field Of
nine, four Of which were sWamped
by the iumpy water, and it is not
likely that Washington or the
Navy could have roWed the New
York eight into the water. But It
was that same third mile which
tore out the hearts of the HuSkies
and the Midshipmen, leaving moth
ing for that fourth long haul.
Columbia remained unruffled as
the river claimed the Massachusetts
Tech shell with Washington and
the navy into oblivion and Wash
light blue ana white bars dipped
their same rhythmic, monotonous
81, and this unceasing beat rowed
the navy itno oblivion and Wash
ington into defeat.
Eight months of training for this
2O-odd minute ace made it impos-
Sible for the Washington coxswain
to do anything but challenge the
Middies for the lead when the third
mile was reached. Out they went,
fighting for the river and the old
third mile smirked in the heavy
dusk.
On came Columbia, rowing stead
lily and Spurning the challenge of
the third stretch Of water. Theirs
was an outside lane and theirs was
the only outside boat to finish. The
inner lanes were smoother and the
inner boats made the line, but be-
hind Columbia, a bold crew of Vik-
ings careless Of storm and needless
Of the gage thrown down by the
HuskleS and the Navy.
Rowing in an unguarded lane,
the Columbia crew won a victory
doubly deserved. Probably thew
could have Won from Washington
and Navy under any plan of bat
tie, but theirs was the safest-a
steady beat of oars, pulsing, dog
ged. while the river and the pace
could be left to others. They con-
quered first Of all, the old third
mile.
