GUNNERS HAVE LOW SCORES
Wind Bothers Nimrods in Sunday Shoot of N.Y.A.C.
Not a single straight score was returned at the Sunday shoot of the New York Athletic Club over its Traverse Island traps yesterday. A high wind whirled the targets all over the lot and the nimrods were mighty fortunate in being able to hit any of the tiny clay birds. George J. Corbett, Chairman of the committee, was the high scratch gunner with the low total of 89 out of a possible 100 targets.
In the shoot for the Red Cross Cup legs were scored by G. W. Derrick, W. R. Delehanty, and A. P. Walker. In the Tournament Cup race a leg was scored by F. Ham. These gunners all had full cards of 25 targets. G. W. Derrick and M. Howe scored in the Byronel Cup shoot. They each had 49 out of 50 targets.
Today the New York A.C. nimrods hold the first of the big shoots for the War Charity Funds at Traverse Island.
