Thut was In the days when there was a frontier, when the West was still to he won, when wild game still formed a part of our dally fare, when there wus less law hut more Justice, fewer courts hut fewer criminals because men carried In their hands ii thing of wood nnd Iron which could, when the occasion demanded, act as Judge, Jury and court from which there was no appeal. And of all the types of weapon which the generic term "gun covers, the one which w as preWitness tills eminently American was the rifle. sweet ancient weapon of our fathers, the American rifle, maker of states, empire builder," writes Emerson Hough In The Way to the West,"' "Tills engine of civilization served its purpose across the timbered Appalachians, down the watershed to the Mississippi, up the long and winding streams of the western lands, over the Rockies, and down the slopes of the Sierras to the farther sen. But with the passing of the frontier nnd frontier conditions, the American "laid aside the rifle for the sickle nnd the plow, and tests of marksmanship fathered bg necessity which had become one of the leading sports for a large proportion of our population became nlmost a lost art. The sport Interests of the average American today are of a far different type. He plays golf or tennis nnd he watches others box or play football, baseball basket hall. But of marksmanship he knows little or nothing. I'nless he Is one of the comparatively small number of sportsmen who find recrentlon In trap or target shooting, he gets no thrill from n sports page announcement that a new record In shooting has been established. However, there are signs that a renaissance of Interest In this form of sport Is under way. The World war, which put rifles Into the hands of millions of young Americans and taught them the hud something thrill of puncturing the bulls-eye- , to do with it. But more Important in crystallizing the Intel est in the revival of this lost art" are the annual National Rifle association matches which for the last 20 years have brought to Camp Berry, Ohio, In increasing numbers the crack shots Last year 2.GG7 participants of the country. stepped up to the firing line In the various contests and this year the matches which are being held from September 11 to 1G are expected to draw an even larger number. For many years the national matches were dominated by the military element and the winners were largely members of some branch of the national military, or naval establishment In recent years, however, the matches have attracted more of our nonmilitary population and Camp Terry has recently been called the biggest civilian camp In America. It Is somewhat like a huge automobile tourist camp with between 3,000 and 4,000 persons from all parts of the country, most of them, however, from the smaller towns and cities of the West and Middle West, living under canvas there during the matches. Many of the competitors bring their families with them and they make It a glorifled vacation, which Is satisfactory In more ways than one. They are having part In a great sporting event and one that is more con- - which demand the utmost In steadiness of nerve and concentration on the part of the contestant. Stand back of the firing lino with them nnd watch a typical scene. Over on the right Is a young marksman. He lmiks sixteen and Is nrtnally on the Junior able of twenty. It Is his first match. Is he nervous? Not so you cond notice It! Nervous men or boys dont last long on rifle ranges. Bat there Is a ripple of comment ns h hoots a In other words, he lias placed every she within the edges of the bull (outsiders call It bull's-eye- ) that looks like a pin point from (lie firing line. No one cheers. There Is not even the that greets n tennis champion polite on the courts. The hoy grin as lie gathers up Ids brass" (the. empty shells that the ejector of Ills rifle has sent spinning to the ground). The young nmrksman walks slowly to the next range to fire his final string. However, ho avoids the spectators. There Is a reason for tills. Even the youngest rifleman Is prey to the superstition of the range, and It is hud luck to receive congratulations until the last shot Is fired And. by the way, don't ever try to take a snapshot of a shooter until be has finished his match. If Ids warning does not stop you and he cannot run away, he and his buddies may wreck your camera. Black cats mny cross his path, mirrors may smash to hits in his hands, nnd he will saunter unconcernedly under a leaning ladder; but If be Is photographed during a match, thnt match is lost and he knows it. The riflemen are ready to fire the last string at rapid fire. Several of the young marksmans rivals are crowding him, nnd lie is doing some rapid figuring. He knows, with the lead lie hns secured in the earlier matches, thnt if lie makes 48 out of a possilde 50 he Is safe. Even if Ids nenrest rival should make a possilde," the young nmrksman cannot he defeated unless lie fails below 48. Any score below tliat figure will make defeat possible, nnd even probable. a shooter must get off Ids ten shots In rapid-firwithin a limited number of seconds. The firers take their places on the firing line, loading nnd locking their rifles against accidental firing. Tiie officers, stationed on the firing line, walk to nnd fro to see that all is ready. The field telephone operator sends his stand by messages to the rifle butts, where sweating men operate the targets. "Ready on the right, cries an official. Ready on the left, echoes another. "Ready on the firing Ine, calls the operator. A gong sounds. Up ride the white targets from behind an embankment like a company of soldier ghosts attacking from a trench. Then the guns begin to bark. It Is called rapid fire, but to the novice the riflemen seem very slow. IIow can they ever get In ten shots with such unhurried ease? But these men are able to Judge time in split seconds. It seems only an instant after the last burst of firing splits the air that the targets sink slowly from sight Our young marksman has his eyes turned toward the butts. There Is a bnble of voices around him, but he hears nothing distinctly. He is watching with eager Interest for the reappearance of the target Up It conies slowly too slowly for his wildly beating pulse. Seconds seem like hours. He has set his heart on winning this match and Now comes the flash of a-- white disk. That means V five points a bull's eye! It flashes again, and again and again. He counts forty points before the disk drops down for a short interval, and again conies up white. That last, slow flash of the disk indicates that one of his shots was inside the bull by a fraction of an inch. Down goes the disk again. Everythin? hinges on Its next appearance. He knows he has forty-fivpoints. A miss" menus almost certain defeat. A "tree" or better assures victory. Up hohs that fatal disk again. It Is red this time, indicating a "four." Onr young marksman now has a total of forty-ninand has won the match. And that, as a famous cartoonist would say. Is certainly one grand and glorious feeling." hand-clappin- I.MK On the 200 yard firing lin Struct he than Just a mere test of marksmanship. It may he argued that. In the last analysis, a man learns to shoot so that he may destroy and kill. But you will And, If you Investigate uniong those who attend the mutches at Camp Berry, that they are amofig the most persons in the world. And thnt goes, not only for the civilians, but for members of the regular military or naval establishment ns well. Thev are all proud of their niarknmnshlp and enjoy the sporting element of tills test of their skill, but they have the satisfaction also of knowing that they are training themselves to be of real service to their country if It should have need of them. When it Is said that whole families come to Camp Berry for the matches, It should not he supposed that the feminine members of it are there merely to look ou as their fathers and husbands and brothers take their tarn on the ranges. For If you walk through the "squaw camp, as they facetiously refer to the camp for women, you will find plenty of Annie Oakleys, both young nnd old, who are ns enthusiastic addicts of Oh, shoot! as the men and boys. They speak the argot of the rifle range, a tongue that is as Greek to the outsider, but perfectly understandable to those who attend the matches this talk of windage, mirage, a fish-tai- l wind, lands, grooves, dope, sxvabo and the like. And out on the firing line some of these girls enn give Just as good an account of themselves (and probably even better) with a Instrument In their hands against the painted targets ns their pioneer grandmothers and and once did, when the occasion arose, against the pninted Indians. If you doubt thnt, ask some of those who nttended the national matches lust year and watched Miss Louise Thompson, the modern Annie Oakley," pictured above, do her stuff out on the ranges! As for the boys, take a look at the medals which adorn the three Davy Crocketts shown in the picture labeled "Junior Champions, 1027." In the center Is David MacDongal, a sixteen-year-ol- d high school boy from the District of Columbia, who was the winner of both the national individual championship and the high school Individual championship in last year's matches. On his left is another sixteen-year-olBhilip Itenfer of Norwood, Ohio, who was McDongal's close competitor in the national Individual matches and who won the senior classified match. On his right Is Lawrence Wilkins, fifteen years old nnd also hailing from Norwood, Ohio, who won the match. Any of these three youngsters can go out on the range any day and make a record which older marksmen of another day would be proud of. Although the national rifle matches at Camp Berry are the biggest of their kind In tills country, they are quite unlike any other great sports event Usually there are no hege crowds on the range and no thunderous cheers greet the victor. A few devoted enthusiasts stand back of the firing line, tight-lippequiet and Intent But they are appreciative sictators, nevertheless, for they are watching tests of skill which are not spectacular, but g . death-dealin- g n . e e e G.
