EVERY SOUTHERN HANDICAP 
Has Been Won With 
Smokeless Shotgun Powders 
Successive triumphs prove the superiority of Du Pont, 
^ Ballistite, Schultze and Empire—the “old reliable” brands 
of Smokeless Shotgun Powders which 
MAKE AND BREAK 
RECORDS AT THE TRAPS 
The Eighth Southern Handicap at Montgomery, Ala., May 
13-15, provides another opportunity for Du Pont Powders to 
achieve fame for themselves and distinguished victories for those 
who use them.

If it shows DU PONT, BALLISTITE, SCHULTZE or

E. I. du Pont de Nemours Powder Co. 
WILMINGTON, DEL. 
Established 1802 Pioneer Powder Makers of America 
Lehigh Rod and Gun Ciuh. 
Rittersville, Pa., May 3.—The registered tourna¬ 
ment held under the auspices of the Lehigh Rod and 
Gun Club was a success. The weather was ideal in 
every respect. A. J. Mengel, of Reading termed it 
the “Dandelion Garden of the East.” A clear back¬ 
ground gave the shooters an opportunity to show their 
ability. High professional honors were won by J. 
Mowell Hawkins with 147 to his credit. Neaf Apgar 
won second professional honors with 140. Neaf shot 
straight in events 1, 2 and 3, an accident in the fourth 
event reducing his scores during the remainder of 
the tournament. A. S. Heil, of Allentown, won high 
amateur honors with 142. 
There was some sensational shooting between Heil 
and Schlicher, of Allentown Smith, of Easton, and 
Mengel, of Reading. A. J. Mengel had the bacon in 
his hand up to the last event, when he dropped two 
targets, landing 141 to his credit, tying Schlicher and 
Smith for second honors. J. Heil, of Easton, won third 
amateur honors for the day, and was followed closely 
by Englert, of Catasauqua, and G. W. Young, of 
Easton. J. Maurer shot some classy gait, with 129 from 
his quota. O. J. Eluck fell some shy with 126, which is 
below his average. 
E. F. Sobers, the heavyweight, shot a good clip 
with 117, but .John L. Englert had him outclassed at 
the chicken dinner fete. John has no capacity like 
Sobers, but he got away with the goods. That Leghorn 
roaster of Mr. Lewis is certainly some cock. 
H. F. Koch, Secretary, dropped to 118. John C. 
Bitterling had some misfires, which caused him to 
drop to 1^ in this race. W. Shrader shot well with 128. 
H. S. Keiper, of Easton, caused Mr. Young, his chum, 
to go some, Young leading him but one target. 
E. W. Moorhouse, of Allentown, who handles the 
blasting division of the Du Pont Powder Co., and A. 
K. Ludwig, secretary of the Hercules Gun Club, of 
Reading, seemed to have a class of their own to-day. 
Moorehouse broke SI out of his quota, while Ludwig 
led his by 3 targets. Certainly these chums showed 
some class to these boys. 
Frank D. Miller, of Albany, fell some shy, as he 
hastened to get home at 3:30 P. ]\L Grainville Brown, 
of Catasauqua, was missed to-day. E. O. Smith ran 
straight in four events with a run of 77; Heil ran 
strai.ght in five events, Mengel and Young in two, as 
well as J. Heil of Easton, Schlicher of Allentown in 
four events. 
Lloyd R. Lewis had charge of the office and was 
assisted bv A. K. Ludwig on the scores and squad 
hustling. About 4,845 targets were thrown in practice 
and regular program. 
A number of the boys promised to come to Temple, 
Pa., Aug. 23, 1913, when the Hercules Gun Club will 
hold their annua! registered tournament. The boys are 
cleaning their arms now to attend the State shoot 
next week at York.
