Towards friends to be nervous, for
Waltz is well up in the game.
Howard does not seem to worry
as much as his friends. He points to
his comparative easy wins IN the
past two months and says that this
event will bring him one step nearer
to the distinction he Graves.
In the picking of Waltz for How
ard rare judgment was displayed.
The weakness of the Bayonne man
was found to be his body. When a
lad plays for that part of the
anatomy Howard shows an extreme
dislike. Waltz is a man who just
plays for the body and he will give
Howard all that he can stand.
The semi-final to this bout should
also furnish excitement. Young Her.

Mantler, one of the fast boys, who
train in the Waltz stable. There are

TARGET SEASON OPENS
ON SEA GRIT RANGE

SEA GIRT, June PA battalion.
of the Second regiment opened the
official outdoor shooting season of
the National Guard today. The
guardsmen will use the butts for a
season recor and individual quail
fcation. The infantry will have the
ranges until the week of July 4, when
the batteries, troops and signal corps
will begin their shooting, according
to the orders issued by Brigadier-
General Bird w. Spencer, inspector
general of rifle practise.
In addition to the Sea Girt shoot
ing tournament, which opens August
20 and ends September I, there may
be a foreign match, according to
General Spencer. Since the abandon
ment of the Creedmore range in New
York, Sea Girt is considered one of
the best ranges in the country, and
many regular army officers believe
that it is superior to Camp Perry,
Ohio.
If the national match had been shot
this year it would have been at Sea
Girt instead of Camp Perry, and it is
possible that the international match,
next year, when all the countries of
the world will be represented. may be
shot on the New Jersey range.
The various regiments will shoot by
b~attalions this year, and so as to al
low for the men getting on the ranges
early on the shooting day they will
travel to Sea Girt the night before
and camp there under canvas. Next
week will be devoted to the Second
Regiment. the following week to the
Third. and the First Regiment will
shoot during the week of June "a.
The Fourth and Fifth regiments will
follow in order.
In the tournament in August, it is
expected, teams from various ma
tional guards from all of the Eastern
States will compete. Some of the
matches will be open to civilians
only, others only to national guards
men, while others will be mixed.
Throughout this State a number of
good teams have been picked and Il
is confidently expected that New Jef-
sey will hold her own on the home
grounds"
There will be several novelties, one
of them being a match shot at night,
at illuminated targets. and during the
tournament there will be a number of
trap shooting events
