WASHINGTON, ID. c., June g.
CAPTAIN William B. Martin, Of Eliz-
abeth. who commands Company K,
Second Regiment, N. G. N. j., Of
PIainfeld, has sent a challenge to
the National Guard of the District of
/ Columbia, to shoot a company team
match, ten men to a team, on the
nome indoor rifle ranges, with reduc-'
ed targets, and the scores to be prop
erly certified by some officer and ex-
changed by telegraph or mail.
Captain Martin is anxious to have
the match conducted preliminary to
the holding of similar matches
throughout the United States. His
idea is to have various companies in
the National Guard throughout the
country shoot at given distances ST
simultaneously and the scores of the
teams to be exchanged and the win
ner of the match announced as quick
ly as possible after holding the match.
Riflemen in many of the states
would be glad to hold a match of this
sort. Captain Martin is we'll and
favorably known to all expert rife
men. He won the Wimbledon Cup
several years ago, he has shot on tehi
American team at different times,
and he is considered one of the best
long distanced shots in the United
States. The New Jersey National
Guard is justly proud of his achieve
ments on the rifle range, and it is ex-
pected his plan for company team
matches of this sort will have the
hearty support of New Jersey.
