The cooperation of all American riflemen to asked to an effort to locate the Leech cup, the oldest and moat famous of the National Rifle association trophies. The whereabouts of this magnificent and historic prise have been unknown since 1913. Since the disappearance of the trophy became known, persistent efforts have been quietly made by the National Rifle association with the hop that whoever holds the trophy, or who Is responsible for its lose, could be located, but so far all efforts have been unavailing. It to possible that widespread publicity may accomplish where private effort bee failed, and, with this Idea In view, we present to all members of the National Rifle association and all friends of rifle shooting, these facts: During the Internationxl rifle matches held at Camp Perry, Ohio, In 1913 the Leech cup was on exhibition with other N. R. A. trophies. It was won that year bv Captain-Geor- ge Chesley, but Captain Cheeley refused to accept the trophv, to the fact that a bond was reowing quired to guarantee Ita aafe keeping, a matter of form and protection demanded of the winner of any valuable trophy to be held temporarily. It has been Impossible to learn Just what Lieutenant A. 8. Jones, then secretary of the N. It. A., did with the Leech cup following Chesleye refusal to accept it under the specified conditions. but It is presumed that the trophy seas boxed for shipment Washington. The cup disappeared and has not been seen or heard ol since. The .next competition for the Leech eup was held at Black Point, Fla., during the 1311 national matches The trophy was not on hand for presentation when the prlxca srtre awarded, and. so fnr as can be learned, no effort had been made to locate it, either before or after these matches. In 1916, when Brigadier General Fred H. Phillips became secretary of the National Rifle association, he instituted a search for the missing trophy, anting to previous winners and others concerned In the matter, but to date he has been unsuccessful In hie efforts It seems utterly improbable that a trophy as magnificent as the Leech eup for the be would destroyed relatively small value of the silver used In Its construction. and it to the belief of persons in last-nam- defl-n'le- ly t- - .
