Peters’ Cup, emblematic of the .22 State Championship of 
Indiana and Ohio, was again won by Jesse Smith, of Col¬ 
umbus, Ohio, shooting UMC .22 Cartridges. In a field of 
29 he scored 117 points, and on the shoot off made a possi¬ 
ble, winning the cup. 
In a recent Government test at the UMC factory over 
5,000 .22 Short Smokeless Cartridges were fired without a 
missfire. Those tests showed that UMC .22s are ’way inside 
of Government requirements, the maximum deviation show¬ 
ing .58 of an inch, and the mean deviation .33 of an inch.
