Re: J. Sumner Adams - 1900 U.S. Census

1903 Palma Match
The 1903 Palma Trophy (eight men shooting 15 shots each at 800, 900, and 1000 yards) held at Wimbledon, England, was technically won by an American team, scoring 15 points more than the British, their nearest competitor.

Re: Not just a Quarterback
I live behind the Redwood Curtain. Who is he? My wife & I watch Jeopardy nightly and we never heard of him.
Re: OUCH!
An old time Schuetzen shooter. I'm surprised he didn't balance the Garand on his finger tips. That would keep them out of the way of the mechanical stuff.
