The following clubs are tied: National Capital and 
Pittsburgh in the sixth; Boston and Olvmpic in the 
ninth: and most probably Pittsburgh and Boston in the 
twentieth. 
By agreement the secretary-treasurer calls in other 
members of the executive committee where doubtful 
shots affect the result of a match. This was the case in 
the Boston and Olympic match, called a tie, and in 
the Spokane-Denver match, which was decided in favor 
of Spokane, 1118 to 1117 by four members of the com¬ 
mittee. 
Official standing of the clubs at the end of the 
eighteenth match, with seven regular matches yet to be 
shot, and the shoot-off of ties for score and class, 
material changes will be made in this list:
