George Booth and Ed Bergin were after each other at Thursday’s shoot. ‘They tied in both events, but divided honors afterwards, Booth taking the medal and Bergin the merchandise. ‘The former paid dearly for his vic- tory, however. In order to add_ still amore interest to the game, it was pro- posed that a supper be shot for, the awo lowest scores paying for it. Kribs and Booth were the victims, but these two tried for it again, with the result that Booth paid Dave Cham- bers for the repast. The feature of the shoot was the work done by Ber- gin, he breaking all the birds he | shot at. ‘The score was as follows: MEDAL EVENT, Powers — -11 Booth: Kremers—16. Kribs—18 Bergin—15.
