BEATEN By THE GEORGIANS
Engineers Lose the Company Team
Match by Six Points.
Carleton Spoiled Excellent Chances
of Whining by Shooting at
the Wrong Target.

Sea Girt, N. j., Sept. 1.-The main fea-
ture of the New Jersey State Rifle Asso-
citation meeting here today was the com.
pany team match. Seven teams entered, of
which Georgia furnished three District oe
Columbia, two; United States Army and
New Jersey one EACH The Washington
marksmen We're more than anxious to win,
not merely on account OF the prize money,
but for the honor attached TO the victory.
They won the event last year with a score
OF 432, and felt certain they would dupli-
cate the trick today. The Georgia sharp
shooters, therefore, put in three teams, in
order roncrease their chances OF victor y.
At the 2o0-yard target the First Georgia
Infantry led by ten points the Engineer
boys Of the District OF Columbia. The
scores We're 246 and 236, respectively.
1t v as generally admitted that the Wash
ingtonians were better OH the 500 yard
range than their Southern opponents. and
1t W as expected that the lead OF ten would
De wiped out and yictorygo to Washington.
The first three OF the Engineers to face
the butts banged out 40 each out of II
possiblc5o. Carleton spoiled all the chances
Washington had of winning by shooting
on the wrong target. 4 zero went to his
credit, Tie best he could get was 43. When
the scores were counted i was found that
Georgia had won by six points. Cheering
broke loose and the Georgians were con-
graduated on all sides.
Lieut. Wilson was the only man In the
match who made a possible 90. He is
considered the best all-round shot on the
range, and will no doubt win several of
the individual matches
