Appropriation For
Rifle Matches At
Camp Perry Cut
BY PETER P. CARNEY,

Announcement Is made at this time
by the National Rifle Association that
owing to the curtailment Of the ap-
preparation by Congress there will be
no funds available to defray the ex-
penses Of civilian rifle teams to the
National Matches at Camp Perry, O.,
in September. This is keenly re-
GREETED by the association.
But this should make no difference
to the dyed in the wool rifle man.
Every man who shoots a rifle can still
go to Camp Perry and enjoy his fav-
orite sport during the month of Sep
TENDER with no cost other than his
railroad fare, and his meals while in
camp. and these cost him $3.50 day.
Everything else is found. Tents, blan-
kets, bedding, guns and ammunition
are all furnished free. We know of no
better place to spend a vacation than
at Camp Perry.
The railroads have announced spec
ial rates to the tournament, which
will be about fare and a half for the
return trip. Every provision will be
made to take care of every one who
comes, and more than a thousand have
been in attendance at the matches 70,
several years past. The school of in
struction begins on September anc
the matches begin on September II.
Winners of Championships.
Six men tied for first place in the
80 foot indoor match and five tied fol
the 75-foot indoor championship. Al
made perfect scores of 1000 in the
first match. In the 50-foot r. J. Nc
Grath Of Lamar, California, and Har-
nv Palmer of Sheridan, Wyoming, each
scored another thousand. Then came
the third and final shoot off, this time
at $500, and both men still retained
! a perfect score. Each made 460 bulls
eves-every one they shot at. Palmer
shot continuously for seven hours and
forty minutes in firing his final 2,50t
shots. Both he and McGrath used the
winchester bolt action rifle.
The competition was just as severe
in the rs match. One man was elm
mated in the first shoot off, leaving
