GOSSIP OF THE PISTOL RANGES<br />
Far be it from me to say a word against<br />
any of my fellow pistol shooters but I'm<br />
sure that on Sunday, March 3, 1957, the<br />
asylum at Napa was denuded of male patrons<br />
as they were all down at the Oakland<br />
Pistol Range for the opening of the<br />
1957 season. It was a mass exodus from<br />
the sanctuary at Napa. Wot a mob!! Over<br />
320 cwazy people standing out in the rain<br />
all day long shootin' holes in a piece of<br />
paper and having one hell of a time a<br />
doin' it!!<br />
Six relays, too, with each relay holding<br />
52 nuts that gives with a figure of 312<br />
plus a few odds and ends making a total<br />
of 320 demented, maniac and moonstruck<br />
humans (?). It's just too horrible to contemplate.<br />
The little men in the white coats<br />
must have done a thriving business Sunday<br />
taking them all back home to their<br />
nice padded cells.<br />
Ran into "Dragrace" Rhul, of the Burlingame<br />
<strong>Police</strong> Department who is now<br />
known as "Doc" Rhul having earned the<br />
sobriquet when he had to play midwife<br />
to one of the ladies on his beat. No medic<br />
around so "Dragrace' '—no, I mean Doc—<br />
delivered the baby by himself and, according<br />
to medical authorities who arrived<br />
later, the job was as neat as could be—<br />
tied cord and all. The mother and the<br />

baby are doing first rate but ole Doc is<br />
still having the jitters. Maybe that will<br />
wipe out the drag-race episode.<br />

I note in the last issue of the California<br />
Fish and Game Commission Bulletin that<br />
Les Lahr, one of the deputies, was given<br />
an award by the Central California Op-tometric Society for his outstanding work<br />
in conducting a series of color tests and<br />
visibility charts (mostly for hunters) and<br />
other safety devices. Les informed me that<br />
they have been experimenting with red,<br />
yellow, green and other colors and came<br />
up with the theory that red is the worst<br />
color to wear—especially for nimrods. Les<br />
also confides, strictly top-secret, that he is<br />
now working on a new target with a purple<br />
bulls-eye on a field of pink. That I<br />
gotta see.<br />
I see that Ed Preston, SFPD, was elected<br />
President of the SF <strong>Police</strong> Revolver<br />
Club; G. Elliott Murphy, vice-president<br />
and the perennial Jerry Gallagher as secretary.<br />
Jerry hasn't been shooting for quite<br />
a spell having fallen by the wayside some<br />
six years ago.<br />
