THE TENTATIVE TEAM
 LEAVES FOR HUACHUCA
FOR A SITTING OUT PROCESS OF
TWO WEEKS.
The Result Will Be Arizona's Repre-
 sentation at Camp Perry.

The main body of the tentative team for the national match at Camp Perry. ohio. will leave this morning for Fort Huachuca. where the final team of twelve principals of the team and three alternates will be made up as a result of the shooting which will take place on the range there between now and August 9. when the team will leave for Camp Perry.
 The vanguard under Lieutenants Charles w Harris and Chris Sigala left for Fort Huachuca on Sunday with two men from Phoenix, two from Tempe and six from Tucson. They will pre- pare the camp for the rest of the con tingent Major Hayden and Captain Woolf were yesterday granted leave of absence by the board of supervisors for thirty days.
 The boys have no moral doubt that they will be heard from after the na- tional shoot and they expect to come back laden with medals. some cash and the Bronze Soldier of Marathon. all of which will be theirs for shooting out of Class C. There is a possibility that they will do even better.
 The shooting of the twenty-six on the local range was better than had ev- CT been done there before. The final team will no doubt be made up of d large number of men who have attend ed previous national meets and so will profit by experience.
 Greater interest is taken in the match this year by the members of the national guard as well as by marks men throughout the country.
 Three organizations will combine their matches to make the meeting a great success. They are the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Prac tice. the National Rifle Association of America and the Ohio State Rifle as- sociatiOn. The state of ohio supplies the range and the government gives q large sum of money for prizes in the national match. and a large number of gold silver and bronze medals and also furnishes the officers and men to run off the National Board and National Rifle association matches. The nation al guard Of each state and territory is entitled to send a team whose expenses are charged up to the money appropri ated by congress for rifle practice in that state or territory and almost ev- cry state and territory which has a national guard is represented at the matches. In addition there are large number of individual shots who attend at their own expense and compete for the rich prizes in the individual matches. Among the leading events of the tournament are the national team, the national individual and the na- tional pistol matches, which are the distinctly governmental matches. the first being confined to teams of twelve men and the second and third being open to any rifle or revolver shot who wishes to compete Other great matches are the Herrick cup. the Cat row cup. adjutants general cup, gov ernors cup. Wimledon and Leech cups. marine corps. presidents, Evans skirm- ish. Hall. Peters individual skirmish. Du Pont individual tryo and the team and individual matches for the police forces of the various cities.
 Competitors are supplied with their tents and cots and mattresses free of charge, but are expected to furnish their own blankets. Meals are sup piled to the members of the state teams without cost and to other indi- viduals at 90 cents each.
 Camp Perry is located on the south shore of Lake Erie twenty-nine miles east of Toledo and eighteen miles west of Sandusky, being thus within reach of such popular resorts as Cedar Point and inlay It is an ideal camp ground. thoroughly drained and sup piled with filtered water. The shoot ing being toward the north the light could not be better and the 236 rifle and revolver targets all arranged so that a common firing point can be used gives it an equipment unequaled and scarcely approached by any other rnnn.n in the ITnifnd Sfatns
