RIFLEMEN STILL ENLISTING
Birnie Inches, the crack Essendon rifleman, has enlisted for active service. In the first of two tests held to select the team to represent this State in the Commonwealth match in 1913 he bolted from the other 95 competitors, and was 16 points ahead of the next metropolitan marksman, after putting up some phenomenal scores. He was a hot shot to run up against when on the job. He several times won the Essendon Club championship.
