Speaking of the coming matches Ma |
jor James z. Bell. inspector general Of;
rife practice OF the militia. said last
night:
While we cannot expect to have a I
meeting Of marksmen on our National
Guard rife range 10 rival that recently /
held at Sea Girt. yet that scheduled for
October 3, 4. 8. and will rank with
those held there in the days when the
District rihemen were regarded as the
best in the business, as they usually
brought home about all OF the prizes in
sight or worth having. but they only
contested with the teams Of New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, and occasionally New |
York and Massachusetts,, In their re-
cent trip they went up against the |
flower Of the universe in rifle shooting /
and scared the entire bunch by show |
ing up in their cid form IN the Dryden |
trophy match. The new general orders. I
No. Is. has added much interest to the /
program, which has already been an 1
nounced, and il is expected that this /
injection of a skirmish team match con- /
fined to the guard will do much toward I
bringing the rank and file up TO a high |
er state of efficiency in this branch OF 4
National Guard shooting
