A YAKIMA BOY
LEADS IN SHOOT


| the Second regiment of infantry,
National Guard of Washington, took
| the picked team of the Sixth regi-
ment. Duke of Connaught's Own,
into camp Saturday. With a team of
ten men on each side, matches
were fired at five distances, ranging
from 200 to 1000 yards. In the
grand total the United States team
finished with lead of Al points.
In all three matches in the fore
noon at the shorter ranges the Wash
| ington team took the first place, un-
til at luncheon the visitors had a
| lead of AZ points In the afternoon
the local men showed up better in
the S00-yard range and tied the Wis
itors' score of 37S at that distance,
an in the 1,000-yard match, the last
of the day, Vancouver gained one
point. This was in the face of
very low score of one of the Van
couver men, Lieut.. Boult, who made
score of 8 against the excellent
score of Sergt. Wilson, and of the
Vancouver men, who made "a. Even
he was beaten in the remarkable
shooting of Sergt. Hatton of Wash
ington, who led the day at the 1000
yards with score of 81 out of IA
possible so.
Sergt Berg of North Yakima,
Washington, led the aggregate with
a score of PIP out of possible $50.
Corporal Sloan of Vancouver was
second with score of 2O2. Ten
shots were fired at each range, five
points for each shot. The men of
the Vancouver team pay 81 special
tribute to the exec ptional ability of
the visitors. The aggregate results
are considered wonderfully high.

great match prevail ed The sky was
overcast and the horizon smoky, but
there was a good clear light and
gentle breeze of fairly regular
strength blew steadily from the
right Shooting commenced at 1855
