THE AMERICAN TEAM BADLY DEFEATED AT ALI.
THE RANGEs-rHE SCORES COMPARED.
CREEpSooR, l.. l., September i5.-The
british won the rife match. Total scores
Ior the Two days: British. 1915; AmerI-
cans, ,S0J.
The morning was bright and clear. The
Wind was blowing from the northwest d.
rectly across the range. Sir Henry Ialford
won the toss for positions and secured the
best targets. Both teams were on the
ground early, the British driving over from
Garden City. In the morning excitement
was caused by fire in the cooking-house
OF the division OF the Atlantic team. Sir
Henry Halford and most Of the marksmen
rushed TO the fire, which was caused by n
stove being set on wooden floor without
rests. The flooring caught fire and the
house had TO be torn down.
The first shot at the S00-yards' range was
fired by Parry, OF the British team, at ~: IS
O'Clock. He scored a centre. Kinds shot
first for the Americans, but failed to score.
The American team shot badly, Kinds
making another miss, Dolan scoring but 2
and Ogden 2. On his third shot Kinds
secured the elevation and scored 5.
The riflemen complain much Of the

across the range. The veteran Rathbone
and young De Forest coached the Ameri-
cans, the foreigners relying upon observa-
tons taken as each man shot. The total
score Of the American team at 500 yards
was 255; OF the British team, 293, although
Lieutenant Heaps made but 10 out Of q
possible 3j. His low score is said 20 have
been caused by his refusal to follow Sir
Henry Halford's instructions. The latter
was very angry.
The American shooting continued to lie
bad, and their total at the 900-yards' range
was only 211, against the British score OF
3l3. The American team seemed to be-
come demoralizcd and made frequent
misses. Kinds missed four times In his
seven shots. The American score at 1000
yards was only 23G, the British score 800.
The best score made in the two-days' shoot
ing was that Of Pcarse, OF the British team,
IL. HcNittie stood next, with 17C. The
best American score was that Of Smith, 1GS.
and next came Pollard. 1872. The poorest
score on the British side was that OF Lieu
tenant Heap, 1913; on the American side
that Of Kinds, 13i.
The British team was heartily cheered.
The two teams dined together, and the day
closed with speech-making and festivities.
