N. R. A. Inter-Club League. 
Washington, D. C., Jan. 6.—The second week of the 
Eastern League schedule brought out some good scores, 
none particularly high, and all but three being well over 
the 960 mark. The lowest total of the week was 910, 
made by Manchester. 
Those who shot in the matches last year will at once 
appreciate the rapid increase in high scoring. Tbe 
VVinchester Rod and Gun Club again had the high totrl 
for the week—986—closely pressed, however, by Bridge¬ 
port and Cleveland, each of whom had 984. 
Every one will be glad to notice the great improve¬ 
ment made in this N. R. A. prone shooting at I.Syds. 
It shows that these indoor riflemen will soon accustom 
themselves to a new form of shooting. This prone 
shi'otin.g game, with open sights is just a little different 
from anything ever tried before, and the fact that when 
the possible score of 200 is made by an individual, it is 
usually as good as can be made by machine rest. This 
proves also the high state of perfection reached in i!-e 
manufacture of arms and ammunition.
