Win Team Match Handily and Major
Portion Of the Individual
Contests.

" In the team shoot Billings outshot
Red Lodge last Sunday, while in the
individual matches the honors also
remained here, although by small
margin.
While not an ideal day for first-class
execution at the traps, conditions on
the whole were favorable for good
work and some very creditable scores
We're made. The participation in the
different events was not as large as
was expected, still the number Of those
taking part was sufficient to make
them interesting and at times excit-
ing, as the scores were close enough
to add zest and make the final out
come in number uncertain.
