THE CALIFORNIA SHOTS
sOME SPECIMEN SCORES Of SIX
OF THE COMPANIES.
Tho Coast Regiment has some Crack
shot. hut Colonel Fisher Thinks
Hawaii VIII Average Better.

The international shoot between
teams Of 100 men each from the
First Regiment of the California
National Guard and the National
Guard OF Hawaii is near at hand.
If nothing happens to change Co
lionel Fisher plans the Hawaiian
team will shoot on Saturday, Jan
uary 9th, which will be half
holiday. Those who can get off
in the early part of the day will
do their shooting before noon,
leaving the afternoon for those
who have to work in the morning.
The Californians will probably
take Sunday, the 10Th, to shoot
off the match, as that is their re
gular practice day.
Colonel Fisher has not yet pre-
pared a complete list of the men
selected to uphold the honor
of little Hawaii but he will do 50
in day or two. Discussing the
coming match with a BULLETIN
reporter Colonel Fisher was in
clined to think that Hawaii's
chances of winning were not at
all bad. He acknowledged that the
California regiment possessed
some phenomenal shots, but did
not think there were enough of
them to even up the poor scores
of some of the others. As far "a he
could Judge the Cnlifornians,
while undoubtedly having the
most crack shots, would be handi.
capped by a number of poor ones.
"With our team it will be differ
ent," continued the Colonel, 81 am
picking up safe men, men
whom L know can be depended on
to make fair average score un-
der any conditions of wind and
weather. While we can't count
on any Of our team being sure for
46 or At, still we eau count on
most of them being pretty close to
the 40 mark, and that is what is
going to count in 100. man team.
| know little or nothing about the
California team or what they can
average, and | don't think they
know themselves, but l make a
pretty close guess on what the
Honolulu team will make when |
finally complete the list, and L
don't think we shall have reason
to be ashamed of the score"
According to recent issue of
The Call, great preparation is be
ing made i'll the First Regiment
for places in the l0O-man team
that is to contest for houOrs with
the Hawaiian National Guard. The
match will be shot early in Jan
uary, and on Sunday, December
18th, large number OF men were
practicing for places. There will
be lis men selected, fifteen to act
as alternates.
The practice scores made by the
different California companies on
that day are given below
in full, so that the mem
bers of the Hawaiian Ma
tional Guard may be able to form
their own opinions of Hawaii's
chances. 1t will be noticed that
the scores Of all the companies
bear out Colonel Fishers state
ment, that while they have many
crack shots the average is not
good.
