Never Shakes Your Confidence 
D ON’T let your long planned hunting trip be 
spoiled—spoiled by your gun not rising to 
the occasion at some critical moment. And you 
know how the shortcomings of your gun always 
show up at the critical moment. 
After that your confidence is gone. 
The six Hunter brothers have kept on the trail 
of shotgun shortcomings with invention, workman¬ 
ship and Purpose, for 22 years. 
The result is the Smith Gun, the gun without 
a single shortcoming to mar the pleasure of the 
hunting trip or cheat the game bag of a single bird. 
Purpose got rid of “shooting loose” by producing 
the Smith bolt, which double - wedges through 
extension rib and grips tight with a double rotary grip. 
Purpose eliminated inaccessibility —which causes a 
gun owner to leave his lock uncleaned until it causes 
trouble—with the Smith “one-screwaccess.” And 
so on through the list. 
Have your dealer show you the new Smith 20 
gauge —20 gauge from butt to muzzle. Write for 
catalog, showing grades from $25 net to $1500 list. 
$102. JO grade, 
price, with ejector, only l 
with Hunter One-Trigger, $100 net.

(Patented, Feb. 20. 1912.) 
KING’S SPORTSMEN’S GLASSES 
are far superior to the old style ambers because they have lenses of Akopos Crystal 
—a double shade of amber and veridian. The Akopos Crystal eliminates not only 
all the violet but also all the violet and blue rays. Amber glasses are only 50 per cent, 
efficient in this particular and therefore are only worth 50 per cent, of what is charged 
for them. King’s Sportsmen’s Glasses are used and endorsed by such well known 
sportsmen as E. C. Crossman, Lieut. Townsend Whelan and Stewart Edward White. 
The Ohio State Amateur Championship was won by F. W. King, wearing shooting 
glasses of his own design and patent. Write for catalog. 
THE F. W. KING OPTICAL CO. 450 Ellastone Building, Cleveland, Ohi 0 
tainlv deserved the many congratulations showered on 
him for the success of the tournament. 
John Warren shot a splendid race and fin-shed 
strong, he being in one of the last squads to shoot. 
He had an uphill fight of it with the results known of 
all other leaders almost before he went to the score. 
All Birmingham was pulling for him to win the State 
championship event and keep the honor at home, but 
the one target lead Laslie gained the first day, coupled 
with his perfect score on the second day. made Warren’s 
ta«k an impossibility, even with a perfect score, and 
which he almost succeeded in making. 
Canandaigua Sportsmen’s Club. 
Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. 10.—Fourteen shooters toed 
the score at the Canandaigua Sportsman’s Club to-day. 
C A. Soule proved his ability as an old duck shooter 
by scoring 31 kills against 31 for Eiseline, but their re¬ 
spective handicaps reversed the places for the prizes, 
the silver spoon going to Eiseline and the cut-glass 
dish to Soule. 
There is a close run for the Stevens gold watch 
fob trophy, the standing at present being: Eiseline 130, 
Stoddard 127, Van Wormer 125, Kibbe 121, and as each 
has handicaps of 13, 14 or 15 for the next and conclud¬ 
ing 50 targets, it is possible for anyone of the four to 
win. 
Secretary Kibbe announces if no one else is dis¬ 
posed to challenge Mason for the championship em¬ 
blem and title he will again attempt to gain its pos¬ 
session at the next shoot, Aug. 23. The scores of to¬ 
day follow: 
Eiseline . 15 47

Lock Haven Gun Club. 
Lockhaven, Pa., Aug. 7.—The eighth annual target 
tournament of the Lock Haven Gun Club was held yes¬ 
terday and to-day and proved to be a howling success in 
every respect. This club is noted for holding successful 
shoots, and the tournament which closed Wednesday 
evening eclipsed all former efforts and was attended by 
shooters from all parts of the State, who were loud in 
their praise for the manner in which the shoot was con 
ducted. The weather both days was all that could be 
asked, and 57 men shot the program through. Lloyd R. 
Lewis had charge of the office, which is sufficient 
guarantee that this end of the game was well looked 
after. “Come, get your money, boys,” was the joyful 
call from the office a few minutes after the last shot 
was fired. The boys responded promptly, and all de¬ 
clared they would be back to old Lock Haven next year. 
L. B. Worden, of Harrisburg, and Allen Heil, ot 
Allentown, tied for high amateur average, scoring 291 
out of 300. F. Gunzberg, of Du Bois, was high ama¬ 
teur for the second day with 147 out of 150. G. H. 
Hassam, won high professional average, breaking 294, 
with a run of 190 straight. George certainly did grind 
them up some. J. M. Hawkins won second professional 
with 292. The obstruction handicap, or high board fence 
event proved qu.te interesting, especially to the winners, 
who secured the $20 on a 50-cent entrance. It was won 
the first day by Bressler and Leinbach, of the local club; 
on the second day by Worden and Heil. There was also 
a good entrance in the merchandise event; Slagle, of 
State College, won first prize the first day, and Brian 
'Peats, of Sunbury, the second prize. On the second day 
Leinbach won the mileage book, which was first prize, 
and Munro won the fine pair of blankets for the sec¬ 
ond place. All arrangements for the shoot were as per¬ 
fect as it is possible to have them, and the officers of 
the club were warmly congratulated for the manner in 
which the shoot was pulled off.

North Brewster Gun Club. 
Brewster. O., Aug. 5. —Following are the scores 
made by the North Brewster Gun Club at a practice 
shoot on Aug. 3. Though weather conditions seemed 
favorable, excepting a strong wind in the faces of the 
shooters, none of the members seemed able to find the 
birds. A number of new shooters appeared at the traps, 
and it looks like increased membership during the com¬ 
ing winter.
