Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., May 8. —Col. Hoodoo again played 
havoc with averages at the grounds of the Boston Gun 
Club to-day, the eleventh shoot of the 1907 season being 
a repetition of its predecessors where good averages 
have been almost unknown, except in rare instances. 
Many seasons have now passed since even this most 
elusive of all trapshooting grounds has experienced 
such a drop in the quality of scores, no one being 
exempt from his share during the three months the 
series has been on. 
As usual, hojvever, the boys still peg away, with a 
never-say-die spirit, and it is to be regretted that suc¬ 
cess did not crown, their efforts, for most assuredly the 
faithful eighteen to twenty-five each Wednesday deserve 
better acknowledgment of a determination only to be 
found in the trapshooter of to-day. 
Dickey added another high average win scalp to his 
already over-burdened belt, having things so easy as a 
3-target lead over the Captain-General of the Birch 
Brook Inn, whose entire afternoon was taken up trying 
to fathom 16yds. or 18yds. to kill a former poor score which 
looked out of place in his best six. Of course, Frank 
made good and added another few targets to his already 
overwhelming lead, which, unless something unheard of 
takes place, first position in Class A is already spoken 
for. 
Probably the most pleasing part of the programme was 
Charlie Blinn’s return to the average winners, his re¬ 
turned form being somewhat due to the special gun al¬ 
terations taking place lately, and with a straight run of 
nearly 40, the high run of this season goes to him with¬ 
out a doubt. 
As usual, most of the interest centered in Class B, 
Hardy now having a very good show for first honors^ 
due more to nice consistent work than anything else, and 
for this reason alone deserves more than honorable 
mention. 
Class C brought forth a smaller number of contestants 
than usual, Kawop easily taking high for this class, in¬ 
cidentally removing an old low score and making his 
new total second highest in all the classes.
