DID GOOD WORK AFTER ALL.
There is much interest here in the
work of the Georgia military team at
Seagirt, n. j., where the great interstate
shooting match is now in progress. While
the Georgia boys were at the end of the
list, both in the interstate shoot and that
for the Hilton trophy, they did some good
work considering the adverse cirCum-
stances with which they had to cope. In
the interstate shoot the team was only Al
points behind the winner, and in the
Hilton trophy match j6 points behind the
winning team.
Both these matches were shot Tuesday
The light was bad for rife-shoOting as a
haze hung over the range during the en-
tire day until the matches were finished.
The wind, however, was not strong. The
New York team went on the field expect
ing TO come on winner, but it was fourth
in the interstate shoot, and third in the
Hilton trophy the defeat beng accounted
for by the friends of that team by the
fact that its members used 5O-calibre
rifles, while the other teams used the 45-
caliDre rife.
