RAOJ TtalDH DOHLDE : BJ Every marksman present was given further incentive to improve when they were shown the trophy for which all are striving. Mr. Thompson of Timmins Club is the marksman who has won the coveted trophy. This trophy, the "Expert‘s Shield," was won with the fine score of 5914 points out of a possible 6,000. ' Teams Made Shot for Shot in Following Contests. Onâ€" Thursday night the Porecupine Rifle Cltb invaded the realm of the Timmins Clu> to again ‘try to teach their older rivals a few things about marksmanship. «The match tcock the appearance of a Bisley shoot as the rival teams scored shot for shot. When the smok» of battle died a‘way the result showed that each team had dropped 7 points for 5 men. It was decided to have the two Icw men shoot off to deâ€" side the winner. After ten shots were fired each marksman had posted 98‘s and new and smaller targets were subâ€" stituted. Again ‘the tieâ€"lbreakers fired shot for shot and scored 44‘s each. â€" It was decided to shoot shot for shot to settle the match. Each ‘ contestant scored bull‘s eyes on first shot but the seccnd shot decided the match when the Timmins club representative proved the steadier, In all it was a wellâ€"shot match and the gounoer boys of the Porcupine Club desemrve‘a~great deal of credit for their steadiness when the ‘"chips were down." Because this match was so close anâ€" other has been scheduled in two weeks‘ time. The scores for the match were: Timmins Club To win this trophy the marksman must score 20 targets 95 or better offâ€" hnand., 20 targets 98 or better kneeling or sitting, and 20 possibles from prone positicn. When it is considered that only about 200 marksmen have secured this trophy out of some 30,000 competing in the Dominion, it rather magnific Mr. Thompson‘s effort.

He headed such smart clthbs as the Napanee Gibbsards and Belleville during his time and brings a wealth of diamond information to the Tchburn bench.

The park diamond is very dry, conâ€" sidering the weather, and only needs a V.tle rolling and raking to put it in first class shape. If the league decides to use the field for the scheduled games, some improvements will be made to 30th infield and outfield.
