Kinley High. first team. 120. second.
and Mckinley, second team. lis. third.
u At the conclusion of the interclub
| match a dinner of regular army ra
tons was served, and the manner in
| which those chilled high school sharp
shooters went after the beans, bread,
hot coffee and other things was enough
to make any dyspeptic turn pale.
Shooting was resumed promptly at
o'clock. The wind, instead or dying
out, grew stronger and seem .ngly cold
er as the day advanced, and big fires
OF logs and rails were built to keep
the boys from becoming chilled beyond
the power Of shooting.
