RIFLE RANGE, SEA GRIT, N. J., August
3O.-Somewhat discouraged by the fact that
they were in twelfth place at the conclusion
Of the firing yesterday in the national team
match, the members of the District OF Co
lumbia team reported this morning to the
executive officer with the determination to
improve their position before night. AT the
conclusion OF the work at the 2OO-yard
range in slow fire yesterday the District
team was in seventh place.
When cease firing sounded last evening
the 200 and 6O0-yard slow fire and the 200
yard rapid fire stages of the match had
been completed, and the representatives of
the District of Columbia 1t was found had
dropped to twelfth place. Ahead of them
We're Ohio, New York. New Jersey. Mary
land. the United States Marine Corps, the
United States army infantry team, WIS
consin, Rhode Island, Maine, Washington
and the United States navy team. How
ever, considerable satisfaction was derived
from the fact that beneath the District OF
Columbia there were twenty-five other
teams.
The first work taken up this morning was
that at 800 yards, rapid fire. The rifiemen
from the national capital then moved back
to 500 yards for slow fire; that will be fol-
lowed by slow fire at 1850 yards. Owing
to the large number of competing teams
any the vast amount of figuring to be done,
any changes in the relative standing Of the
teams by reason of the work today will
not be known until late tonight.
The Neutrality-suspicious. take the view that
the national team match is by bno means
ended yet and that there may be a ma
terial difference from the present arrange
mert of the list in the list at the finish.
