THE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND
LOCAL SPORT,
INTERPORT SHOOTING.
HONGKONG'S LOW SCORE.
With the record score of 955 made by Singapore last week to beat, Hongkong's team went to the range at King's Park, Kowloon. on Nov. 4th, feeling that they had little hope of lifting interport houours this year, but it was not expected that they would make the rather poor show which they did. Fortune seemed against Hongkong from the outset. Just before setting out for the range, Mr. A. Jenkins, one The the best of local shots, let his rifle fall. sight was smashed and Mr. Jenkins was unable to take his place in the team, Mr Anderson firing in his stead. Another man who had not fired in an interport match before was P. C. M'Lennan, and it was noticeable that both seemed to feel a trifle nervous.
The conditions were not by any means ideal. The light failed towards the close, but what was more baffling to the marksmen was the flucky wind. Hongkong started badly. Not one of the men made higher than 31 at the 200 yards, while Mr. Stewart was unfortunate enough to make a miss with his third shot, so that when the team went back to the 500 yards their register was 20 less than that made at the same range last year.. An improvement was made at the longer range, Mr. Pidgeon topping the list with 34, followed by Messrs. Wakeham, Lammert, and Lapsley with 33 each. Mr.; Stewart made a good recovery and register- ed 32, but Mr. Anderson and Mr. M'Lennan, who had not settled down, fell short of their previous score. By this time the targets did not stand out so clearly, and with the freshening choppy wind the marksmen found their difficulties. increase. Sergeant-Inst.. Wakeham repeated at the 600 his performance at the 500, as did also Staff-Sergt. Carnell. Capt. Lammert, however, dropped to 29, but most surprising of all was Mr. Pidgeon's miss with his fifth shot, bringing his score down to 21 and reducing his aggregate to 85.
Hongkong was represented by Mr. J. H. Pidgeon, Staff Sergt. Carnell, A.O.C., P. C. M'Lenman, H. K. Police; Lieut. Scott, H.K.V.C., Mr. B. Lapsley, Sergt.-Inst. Wake- man, Sergt. Coveney, Buffs; Mr. R. Stewart, Naval Yard; Capt. Lammert, H.K.V.C.; and Mr. W. Anderson.
