SAN DIEGO AND MARE ISLAND DETACHMENTS NEAR TIE IN RANGE CONTEST Whether the honors of a victory in the Marine corps inter-post match for the Pacific coast shall rent with the marine barracks, San Diego, or be proudly flaunted by an opposing team at the marine barracks, Mare Isl<strong>and</strong> navy yard, will depend upon a decision by the major general comm<strong>and</strong>ant of the Marine corps at Washington, with whom rests the decision on a technical point, the settlement of which means victory or defeat for the home boys, by a hair’s breadth. The match was shot at the rifle range on North Isl<strong>and</strong> yesterday, four teams of eight men being the contestants. They were from the Puget Sound navy yard, Bremerton, Wash.; Mare Isl<strong>and</strong> navy yard, Marine barracks, San Francisco; <strong>and</strong> Marine barracks, San Diego. At the close of the skirmish run, which was the last division of the match, the local team <strong>and</strong> the Marine Isl<strong>and</strong> crack shots were so near together in their scores that the decision of Major-General Barnett, on the technical point will leave a margin of only ten points for the winning team. Bremerton <strong>and</strong> San Francisco did not seriously menace the st<strong>and</strong>ing of the other two teams at any time. The divisions of the match were as follows: Slow fire— 20 shots at 200 yards. Rapid fire— 20 shots at 200 yards. Changing position fire— 20 shots at 200 yards. Slow fire— 10 shots at 600 yards. Rapid fire— 10 shots at 600 yards. Skirmish run— 500 to 200 yards, 5 shots at each range. The Mare Isl<strong>and</strong> men took the lead in the early shooting, but the San Diego team soon overtook them, <strong>and</strong> from that time on to late afternoon, when the match closed, it was like a tug-of-war, first one <strong>and</strong> then the other team being in the lead. The day was pei'fect, <strong>and</strong> some of the same men who did the fine shooting at the range last week, in the individual contests, were members of the contending teams, keeping up their good form almost without exception. The teams from Bremerton, Mare Isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> San Francisco will leave for their posts this morning, <strong>and</strong> the data of the match will be forwarded to Washington, with a statement of the divergent views of the contestants. The decision of the comm<strong>and</strong>ant will be awaited with keep interest, owing to the “nip-<strong>and</strong>-tuck” character of the struggle. The technical point involved turns upon the fact that in the first half of the skirmish run, number 13 target was found to have been hit with more shots than the total shots allowed for one run, some contestant evidently having fired at the wrong target, a mistake which freqeuntly occurs in skirmish runs at long range. Capt. C. H. Lyman, executive officer of the match, ruled that the fairest solution of the difficulty would be to run the course over. Some objection was made to this, with the counter proposition that the man whose target was credited with the excessive number of shots should make the run again. This was finally done, <strong>and</strong> the two results will be incorporated in the report, without final ruling by the executive officer. It was a disappointment to officers <strong>and</strong> men of the Marine corps that the inter-post match for the Pacific coast for <strong>1915</strong> should be without decision, but the disappointment found some compensation in the fact that the expert riflemen were so evenly matched as to conclude the day’s shooting with a very narrow margin between them.
