Lee Loses Shoot-0ff For Prone little, But Sets
 Record

Washington. July -(Special.)- The most remarkable shooting ever done in the history of world rifle competition in the N. R. A. indoor gallery prone championship for 1922, which five men tied in the 100-shoot match with perfect scores of 1000 each. The second shoot-off resulted in another tie, four of the five men again making 1000 perfect.
 The third shoot-orf completed yes terday resulted in a win for J. R. Byerly of Ohio, with 250 straight. Tackhole Lee, champion for many years, came in second with 237 straight, Sporlarich of Illinois 234, and Wolfinger of California 233. Each of these scores were far above the old worlds record made by Lee in 1915, when he ran 9S consecutive bulls in winning the event after a shoot-off.
 His First Loss.
 This is the first shoot-off Lee has ever lost in any branch of the shoot ing game He has won the rif.a indoor championship many years and has won scores of other champion ships indoors and out and the re- markble part of his career is that he has won so consistently year after year, or has been close to the top always. In the recent tournament he was second in the 50-yard matches and tied for the 100 yards champion ship. In March he won the N. R. A. indoor disposition championship over 3-weeks course.
 In commenting on the results of the shooting at the rate of shot a minute, and that if nine hours of perfect shooting didn't win, he had no kick coming, He at least, al most tripled his old worlds record of 9S bulls.
 Sets New Worlds Record.
 In the 100-yard outdoor champion ship, Lee set new worlds record group, by placing ten shots into the center of the bull eye at 100 yards, with 22-rifle, In space the size oc a b-cent piece. J. Pope, of Birming- with ten shots In space of the size of half dollar.
 The 50 and 1O0-yard combined championship of the N. R.a A. this week will be shot July 16 and the 20o-yard championship will be shot this week. Lee and other local en- trants will compete. Lee will en- deavor to put over win in these but his chances are not considered go good as his hand injured a month ago, Is still troublesome.
