GIRLS SPORT
GOSSIP
By "Jerry" Martin

Two junior class sharpshooters
of Central High School took top
honors in the National Rifle AS
ISOLATION members match which has
been in the process for the last
two weeks. A medal was offered
to the best shot among the girls
who have been out for that sport
for at least two years nd another
one was promised to the winner OF
the competition among the girls
who are new at rifle shooting.
Virginia Pile won the award Of
fered to the experienced shooters,
ringing up total score of 38S out
of a possible 400. She scored 1893
points in the prone position and
rang up 1S5 tallies off hand.
Airline Spencer, a senior.
pressed closely on the heels of
Miss Pile, when she turned in
card OF 1882, scoring 1871 prone
and 1856 off hand. The targets
were nearly identical and no
difference could be detected un-
til . gauge was used.
The beginners medal was COPIED
by Mae Clement who scored $50
points. Shooting 1913 prone and
ITO off hand. she led her nearest
opponent by a dozen points. Elinor
Milburn, sophomore, was runner
up in the inexperienced riflest
event, scoring 357. accounting turn
ing in a target of 1872 prone and
los off hand.
About so girls entered this
match. These Central High girls
are fortunate in having Miss
Louise Hart as their coach. 1t
was she who made it possible for
them to win the national inter-
high school match sponsored by
the N. r. A. this year.
The George Washington Univer-
sity team, now holding the IA
tional intercollegiate title Of the
N. r. A., with but one or two ex-
ceptions, is composed of girls who
learned how to shoot under Miss
Harris tutelage.

]. SCOTT SETS
NIFTY RECORD

Eight hits in eight consecutive
times at bait This is not the bat
ting log Of Ruth, Speaker or
Cobb, but worlds smuggling rec
ord for pitcher, Jack Scott, of
the Phillies.
In his last two appearances In
National League regalia the tall
bronzed North Carolinian has
trudged to the plate eight times,
smacking out four singles, two
doubles and two home runs for a
total Of 16 bases.
On September %, last fall, in a
game against the Cardinals, which
the Giants won by the lopsided
score of 1919, the gaunt Southerner
hammered out two singles, a
in four tallies and pulled his season
tabuiation to 1897. Not bad for the
weaker sex of the batting order.
Last Thursday against these same
Giants Jack not only beat them
9-6, but duplicated his feat of Sep
TENDER last and drove out four
safe blows identical in total to his
Cardinal game, two singles, double
and home run.
With a splendid record for a
pitcher whose shilleleh Is supposed
to be as devastating as a baby's
rattle. And how Jack Scott must
tingle when the catcher on the
other club squawks out to the op-
posing hurler as Scotty comes to
bat:
