Bnltimorc Shooting Associn ton.

First Meet the Grounds of the
Baltimore Shooting Association.
The first shoot of the District of Column
bia and Maryland Trapshooters' League
was held at Baltimore Saturday. The Cap
ital City Gun Club numbers about seventy
members. and it was thought that a team
of six could be mustered at any time and
under any conditions. However. the cap
tain, Mr.. ]. II. Gulick, although deeply
chagrned at the absence of the looked-for
members on his arrival at the grounds,
presented the matter to the president of the
league, and this official Immediately called
a meeting of the executive committee to
take action on the matter. After dis
cussion of the same the committee decided
to permit the four members of the team
present-Messrs Wagner. Arnold, Pruitt
and Gulick-to shoot their scores In the
regular contest and authorized Mr.. Gulick
to name three members from the Capital
City Club. two of whom should be select
ed at some future time. to shoot the re-
naming scores, on grounds other than
their own. This was "a very fair decision,
and was appreciated by the Washington
contingent. The team shoot resulted In a
tie between the Baltimore Shooting Asso-
citation Club and the Standard Club. both
Of Baltimore. However, the percentage
made by the four Washington shooters was
higher than that Of the clubs tieing.
Messrs. Mattingly, Mcleod and Nickel
den have been NAMED by Mr. Gulick, two
Of whom Will shoot the unfinished scores,
and the home club has a chance of winning
tht, first contest. ~
