that Utschig Jr. led Strecker by $40
points, Jones by $50 and Mason by 92S.
consequently the contest for the medal
and the honorS of the season had mar
roWed down TO a contest between the
first three, with Utschig holding a good
lead over his fellow -marksmen. Jones.
though third, stood a better chance
than Strecker, whose total score was
lower than Jones' score for the year.

for Strecker to register 81, which,
though possible, was hardly probable

the average; Captain Fred Attinger
