the Colum bia Pistol and Rife Club and
d. B. Faktor, one of the best shots of the
California Schuetzen Club. The match
was for 500 side and the former won
As matter of fact it was a freak match,
or contest more of endurance than skill.
The conditions were that each man was to
shoot one continuous hour on the German
25.ring target, 200 yards, and the one max
ing the most points, without regard TO
the number of shots fired, was to win the
prize
Faktor appeared upon the range with
four fine 15-pound Schuetzen single-shot
rifles and a pile OF ammunition. Glinde-
mann showed up with four Winchester 49,
55 repeaters, eight cartridges to the maya
zine. He was provided with about 800
smokeless- powder cartridges. as this ex-
plosive does not heat or foul the barrels so
much as the black powder. At the two
targ cts were TWO crews OF four markers,
wheel turner's, target-shifters and referees,
and at the scorers stand each principal
was well represented.
At clock The referee gave the word
| fire" and perfect fusiliade began. For
an hour the racket was deafening, the re-
peating rifles barking twice to the single
shots one. One man was kept busy load
ing the former and another had his hands
full cooling off sing le- shot barrels. Empty
shells filled both stands. For the first
70 to 100 shots it looked as though
Faktor mad a walkover, for while he shot
fairly fast he held well and several times
he made runs of 22s and 24s. During
the last twenty minutes Glindemann got
in steady killing pace, every shot count
ing, and he made up his lost ground at a
rapid rate, which resulted in his victory.
When the hour had expired and the
| shooting ceased Glindemann had fired Alt
shots and Faktor 295. The scorers rec
ords showed that Glindemann had 5133
points to his credit and Faktor 1856. Fax
| tor also had a scorer at the targets keep
ing tab on Glindemanns shots. That
record gave the winner only 1888 points,
still u more than Faktor. The latter 8
! friends claimed that the match was lost
! by the wheel on Glindemann's target not
registering properly. But it was grea t
match, and 1t caused nearly all the shoot
and rather in large crowd back OF the
two big rapid-fring marksmen.
