The Washington times., 1902-07-06

Reichelderfer. Capt. Alexander SUM
mers. and Private S. B. Wetherald have
always been looked upon. as frst-class
shots.
All the others were on the team last
year. Private c. W. Dichey, one OF the
old reliable shots, has enlisted as
member of Company \, Third Battalion,
his term of service in Company 4,
Sixth Battalion, having expired.
The Fourth CT July shoot at Ordway
range on Friday showed all in fine trim.
Twelve Of the men shot against six
members of the United States marine
team, with whom six other guardsmen
shot. The militia team ran up the re-
markable score of 1856, within two
points of the record-breaking score made
by the District team in winning the
Hilton trophy last year.
1t might be mentioned. however. that
some Of the men have done even better
than the scores made Friday On ore
practice day the twelve high men had
a total of lib. Last year the New
Workers ran up remarkable scores in
practice, but they fell down in the
match.
