boy is also required for each shooter

From the foregoing it ought to be 
possible for anyone to visualize such a 
scene as was witnessed at the Sea Girt 
rifle range the morning of June 30th, 
with the 50, 100 and 200 yard ranges 
of that range in full operation. It 
usually requires five days to run the 
eastern small bore championship 
matches, the first day, June 30th, being- 
devoted to practice. 
The fii st important individual match 
on the program was the Palma small 
bore, which is shot at 150, 175 and 200 
yards, with two sighting shots and 
fifteen for record at each distance. This 
match was won in 1922 by Mr. R. V. 
Reynolds, of Washington, D. C., with a 
score of 222 out of a possible 225. 
Sixty-six of the very best small bore 
riflemen in the east were on the firing 
line when the command “commence fir¬ 
ing was given. There were many dis¬ 
tinguished visitors to witness the open¬ 
ing of the match, including the gover¬ 
nor of New Jersey and his staff. Among 
the competitors were several riflemen 
with international reputations as mil¬ 
itary marksmen of the first rank. These 
included Mr. H. H. Leizear, Mr. K. T. 
Frederick, International Pistol Team 
man, and Mr. John W. Hession. The 
Diiector of Civilian Marksmanship, 
Col. C. E. Stodter, of Washington, D. C., 
was also a competitor and demonstrated 
his ability to practice what he preaches, 
by winning this important match with 
a score of 224 out of the possible 225, 
tying the existing record over the 
course. The shooting throughout this 
match was of a very high order and 
as the weather was good, with nothing 
more than a gentle breeze blowing, it 
was expected that the scores would run 
high. 
On the completion of the Palma in¬ 
dividual match, the small bore Spencer 
match was shot at 200 yards. The 
course of this match consists of two 
sighting shots and twenty for record, 
and it must be observed that as the. pos¬ 
sibility of making the possible score 
exists, it is understood beforehand that 
should any competitor run twenty bulls- 
eyes, he shall continue shooting until 
he goes out of the bullseye. Therefore, 
the competitor who scores the largest 
number of bullseyes after he has made 
the possible is declared the winner. 
Last year this match was won by Mr. S. 
W. Case, of Bayonne, N. J., with a 
score of 99. 
When the shooting was completed late 
in the afternoon of July 1st, this year, 
it was found that five of the competi-
