Turned in a score of 197, the next 
closest being another Marine, Doyle, 
with 195. 
The last big individual event on the 
regular N. R. A. schedule was the 
Wimbledon fired Monday the 17th. 
'here were just a score less than 1,000 
competitors entered in this thirty-eight 
year old event. Brother to the Leech 
Cup and representing the Long Range 
Championship of the United States the 
Wimbledon has always called out a 
tremendous entry list but never any¬ 
thing approaching the field of this year. 
Once more the Marine, Blade, demon¬ 
strated his close holding, quick calcul¬ 
ating ability, winning the match with 
the remarkable score of a possible 100 
in which were included 18 “V” shots. 
The bulls-eye at 1,000 yards is thirty- 
six inches in diameter. Inside this has 
been placed a smaller circle but twenty 
inches in diameter. It required eigh¬ 
teen of the twenty shots to be within 
this invisible twenty inch circle, at 
1,000 yards, to win the match. C. J. 
Van Ambergh placing seventeen shots 
in the “V”, J. W. Hession sixteen, two 
men fifteen, one thirteen, two twelve, 
and two eleven shots in the “V” mak¬ 
ing a total of ten possible scores with 
the heavy barreled telescopic sighted 
rifles. Two years ago it became ad¬ 
visable to divide the Wimbledon into 
classes. In one class was placed the 
heavy barreled, telescopic sighted 
match rifles and in the other the regu¬ 
lar issued Springfield. The Wimble¬ 
don Cup is awarded the winner of the 
match and the Farr Trophy to the high 
rifleman shooting the service rifle. 
“Dad” Farr of Washington having 
made the remarkable run of seventy- 
one consecutive bulls-eyes with the ser¬ 
vice rifle in 1921, before the introduc¬ 
tion of the “V” system. Lieutenant 
R. E. Vermette of the Infantry won 
the Farr Trophy with a possible score 
of 100 including 14 “V’s”. It will be 
noted that this performance topped the 
work of five of the men who made 
possibles shooting the special guns. 
Warrant Officer S. Kearns was runner- 
up for the Farr trophy with a possible 
including 12 “V’s” while three other 
possible scores were registered with 
the issued gun. 
Interspersed with the individual 
events were the team matches. The 
Infantry Match simulating field firing- 
conditions was won by the Infantry in 
the face of a remarkable run by the 
Oregon National Guard Team who 
placed second. The Enlisted Men s Team 
Match went to the Marines. The C. 
M. T. C. Match was won by the 9th 
Corps Area. The R. O. T. C. Match 
by the 5th Corps Area. The Civilian 
Interclub Match went to Minneapolis 
and the Port Clinton Trophy Match to 
the Illinois Team. The Championship
