SPARTA SURE OF RIFLE MEET.
Lack of Time and Money Makes
Move Impossible until 1911

La CrCsse.-Because it will be inn
possible, even if money is appropriate
ed, to fit up Camp Perry at Sparta,
with rife pits in time to take care of
the national rifle practice in August,
Congressman j. j. Esch announces in
a letter received here from Washing
ton, that no effort will be made to
have the match transferred from
Camp Perry, Ohio, this season.
Mr. Esch called upon Gen. Brain, di-
rector of the board for the promotion
of rife practice, which controls the
match, and has interviewed high au-
thorities, and he announces he is con-
fident the match will be transferred to
the government range at Sparta later.
Ohio national guardsmen are putting
up a strenuous fight to keep the match
at Camp Perry, but the Sparta range
is favored by Gen. Frederick Grant
and other high army officers and there
is little doubt, says Mr.. Esch, that the
effort to have the Sparta range Sc
lected as the permanent location OF
the annual meet will be ultimately
successful
