Boston Athletic Association. 
RiversipE, Mass., Jan. 20.—Eleven men contested for 
the special medal at the shoot of the Boston Athletic 
Association to-day. Capt. F. H. Owen won with a total 
of 46 breaks out of 50, which with his handicap added 
made a score of 50. Dr. Ellis broke 47, which with his 
allowance made 52. ‘The, latter figure was scored also 
by Mr. Clark and Austin. This is an absurd manner of 
scoring, since, if a scratch man broke every target, he 
even then had no chance of winning. No score should 
exceed the limit of possible actual breaks. Scores:
