WASHINGTON. May 29.-Every one
interested in indoor rifle shooting is dis
appointed at the showing made by tho
American team against the British and
Australians in the three"cornered inter
national indoor match with .22-cahoer
rifles. The match was shot with hfty
men on a side. aud the British beat the
Americans with score or la,ao" as
against the American score OF ID
Tho average per man on the American
team was $50 and on the English team
was 29l The Australian scores nave
not vet been received, but 1t is very
improbable that they defeated the
English team 1t was a clean victory
for the Englishmen. because the Ma
tlonal Rifle ASSOCIATION took great
pains TO select the best available shots
in this country. The American team,
however, was hurrledly got together,
without any considerable systematic
preliminary practice. They also used
a stvle of target with which many Of
them were unfamiliar. The match goes
to show that at present, at least, Eng
land shows n greater development than
America in holding, aiming and pulling,
for which the .22caliber rife is very
valuable as n means of instruction and
practice, The defeat of the American
team will undoubtedly tend to stimulate
further the general interest in this I'M
portant feature of rife practice, as the
match will be shot again next year and
strenuous efforts will be made to carry
off the prize,
