The fact that the United States In
| fantry finished eighth somewhat COM
pensated the winning of fourth honors
| by Massachusetts, at least as Tar az
| the local contingent was concerned
The District civilian team had the
thrill that comes once in lifetime
when they saw themselves at the top
of the bulletin board after the ZOO
yard off.hand stage of the Port Clin-
| ton trophy event had been completed.
| Dark ominOus clouds and the result
| ing murky targets made the going
more difficult, however, at the 500
yard range, and the late afternoon saw
the Texas civilians tie and outrank
them for first place with score OF
545 points. The Capital boys are de-
serving of much praise though in that
they defeated AZ c. NJ. T. c., +. 0. L.
