second, with the Smith and Wesson Pistol Club, of Springfield; 
teams of eight men each, 20yds., Standard American target, 30 
shots per man. The Washington men to shoot military revolvers 
and military ammunition. The Springfield men, any revolvers 
and any ammunition, and allow Washington 20 points handicap 
per man. 
The match was at 20yds., offhand. The Springfield men used 
target revolvers and special ammunition. The Washington team, 
which is made up of marksmen of the National Guard of the 
District of Columbia, used the regular military revolver and ser- 
vice ammunition. As an offset the Smith and Wesson team gave 
their opponents a handicap of 20 points to the man, or 160 to the 
team. They shot a very close match last year under the same 
conditions. The Springfield team then scored 2,037 points and won 
by 29 points. Yesterday they dropped behind their last year's 
record by 39 points, which was largely due to the poor light.
