All-Gauge, Team, Father And Son Shoots Today,

The first perfect round in the national all-gauge skeet event at the Capitol City Gun Club was fired today by H. A. Montgomery of Decatur, Ill. Three early finishers had scores of 99. They were Dave Barnett, Indianapolis; E. R. Davis, Honolulu, and J. O. Ginter, Jacksonville, Fla.

By J. E. O'BRIEN The main go of the National Skeet Championships—the 12-gauge team and individual competition—today brought out a big field with big guns at the Capitol City Gun Club. This is the event that will determine the national all-gauge champions, the best five-man and two-man teams and the father-and-son and veteran champions. Since most skeeters prefer powerful 12-gauge shooting irons, this threecompeittion was expected to 400. ; But there was no ban on smaller guns. Marksmen and markswomen

28-gauge weapons were welcome to use these firepieces. That's why the event is known as the all-gauge competition. After 100 targets today, the competitors will go after 100 more tomorrow and 50 on Sunday. If the ideal shooting weather continues,
