The Columbia Pistol and Rife Club did
q bit of record breaking yesterday at Shell
Mound range. C. NJ. Daiss, one of the
young men of this new but promising
organization, made a score Of 81 in a pis-
toll competition. Only a few weeks ago
A. II. Pape, another of the younger men,
bers, registered a score quite as meritorious
as Daiss' in the total number of credits,
but of inferior quality in the judgment of
marksmen who look at scores from
Creedmoor standpoint. Pape scored 81
under the same conditions as Daiss did
yesterday. but unfortunately for the for
mer marksman the string Of Daiss' regis
tering shows a greater number of good
shots at the end that the 10-shot scores of
Pape. 1t is believed that the record made
by Daiss yesterday is the best ever re-
corded in a pistol competition on the
Pacific Coast. Whether it will continue to
be such for any considerable time is hardly
probable, for there are men 10 the Column
bia Club who are doing some rare target
hitting these days. The COlumbia is a
new club, but already one of the foremost
and what is more gratifying than anything
else is the fact that il is surprisingly fruit
full of better results at every monthly
meeting. Among the Columbia cracks are
such men as Kellogg, Young, Kuhnle,
Rodgers. johnson. Hovey. Heeth and a
host of others known as far as the inter-
national prominence of California marks
manship extends.
Tbs score made by Daiss yesterday was
shot on the hfty-yard range at standard
American target, and shows in this way

Andy johnson led the Columbia Club
men in a Springfield rife match for the
Glinderman medal johnson has the
ringfield we'll in hand and he already
has flung defiance at everything over Oak
land way, not excepting the superb Poultsr
or the steady Vaughn. A match for 500
will soon be shot between johnson and
Pouter, and Harry Brown of the Third
Infantry may be asked to do some battle
with these champions at that time.

Young second with 78 credits, T. Moulton

Among the members of the State mill
taTy service there was a match of much
interest at Shell Mound. Company a Of
the Fifth Infantry and ID of the same regi-
ment shot for honors. They were mostly
AS when the contest was concluded. but
even the defeated team fought finely.
Good scores were made by both and Poul-
ter's 48 was really a remarkable score in
competition. The shooting was done with
Springfelds at 200 Yards and on the Blunt
elliptical target. The scores made were
