AMERICANS ARE BEST
 SHOTS IN THE WORLD
By PETER p. CARNEY, .. Editor National Sports Syndicate

There isn't any question but that the greatest riflemen and trapchoot- CTS in the world reside in the Unit ed States
 There isn't any question, either, as to where the best guns and am intuition are made.
 We sent a team of trapshouters to the Olympic Games in Stockholm in 1912 and this team won every championship.
 Another team was sent to the Olympic Games in Antwerp in 1920 and as in 1912 these shooters wc1 every championship. And while abroad these shooters won every clay target and live bird champion ship laying around loose
 We sent a team of rifle shooteis- chosen without tryout-to the In ternatioEal Championships at Lyons, France, in 1921 and these shooters won the worlds team and individual championships
 Another rifle team was sent to the International matches this year-at Milan. Italy-and this team also won the team championship and the individual who won the championship last year repeated again. Walter R. Stokes is the name of the young man. Washington. D. C., is his place of residence. Winning the worlds championship from the best there is two years in succession is no mean feat
 Six years in succession has the United States International small bore team defeated the pick of ng. land, Canada and Australia for the Dewar trophy. England has shot every one of these years. but Canada and Australia have only participated off and on. England is apparently outclassed at a sport she for many years dreamed herself supreme. Small-bore shooting is only in it's in- fancy in the United States.
 The guns and ammunition used in all of these matches-with the ex. ception of one or two in the small bore championships in which 20 men comprise the team-were made in the United States. A good shooter, with guns and ammunition that are

next to perfection, form combina- ton difficult to defeat. That is the combination America puts forth.
 We are far and away in advance of foreign countries in the manufacture of guns and ammunition, and these placed in the hands of men who de- sire to become champions, spells dis aster for competitors. We may not have as many riflemen as some of the foreign countries, notably Eng land and Switzerland, but what we

It hurts me as much as anyone else to lose, but I want to congrat- ulate John McGraw and his New York Giants and then say of the New York Tanks admitting they were cut played and out-ucked. We simply lost to better club, but we didn't deserve to be beaten as decisively as we were.
 The Giants hit in the pinches. We didn't. That is the whole story. The Giants made 50 hits, while we got only 32. and few of them came when they were needed.
 When a payer of Ruth's ability and value gets only two hits in five games. and team would be under a handicap in a World Series. He certainly tried hard, perhaps too hard.
 Up until the last minute had con fidence in the team. I felt at the start of each inning that the Tanks would come out of their batting slump. but they didn't.
 No Chance for Second Guess
 I have been criticised for losing the game in the eighth inning. As it turned out, I did lose the game, but the chance for the second guess never comes in baseball.
 With one out, Groh singled over second, and pulled up at third on Frisch's double between McMillan and BobA Meusel. When Groh was run down between third and the plate on Emil Meusels grOunder I thought the crisis was past.
 First base was open with two out. We were lcading.s3 3 to ?, with Young at bat. ordered him passed to bring up Kelly. Young had made six hits in the series He drove in the winning run in the first game and he did the same thing in Saturdays gamo, while Kelly had been almost helpless through the series. With the bases filled it made play pos sible in four places, and Young, more than Kelly. had chance to beat out a slow infield roller.
 As it turned out. it proved the wfong gus3s when Kelly singled. Brusb's fast ball took too much Of a break. He was trying to keep on the inside corner, but it broke too much and came right down the mid dle.
 It was stubborn and wel-fought series. marked by brilliant pitching and spectacular fielding. I give all the credit to the Giants. but I will maintain that the Yankees are better team than the score of the series indicates.
