down 45 out of 50 targets. 
Friday afternoons, at 1:30 o’clock, has been selected

for a number of traveling men who enjoy the recreation 
to take part. A larger per cent, of the traveling men 
will be at home Friday than on anv other day of the 
week, with the exception of Saturday, and the latter

Live Bird Shoot at Ryland, Ky. 
The second match ir. the series for the live-bird^trophy 
of the Crystal Lake Gun' Club was held on Oct. 5. The 
attendance was not quite so good as at the first shoot, 
some of the former contestants being prevented from 
coming; but there were several new entries, so that 
future shoots are likely to have about all the competitors 
which can be handled. The weather was all that could 
be desired — clear and cool, with little wind; a perfect fall 
day, such as makes outdoor sport a pleasure for all the 
participants. The birds were the best lot which the club 
has trapped in a long time, and while there were a few 
slow to take wing, requiring the full number of balls, 
most of them were of the kind that tax the shooter s 
skill to the utmost. Many birds were stopped at the 
boundary with the second barrel, and a few carried both 
loads over the line before falling. R. H. West, Jr., 
acted as referee and scorer, to the satisfaction of all. 
H. Rowe, the winner of the first match, was favorite at 
the start, but his handicap seemed a little too much for 
him, and he let four birds get away. 
The race was a close fight between Dan Pohlar and 
H. J. Koch. The latter lost his second bird, and then 
killed 22 straight, his last bird, hard hit with both barrels, 
succeeded in clearing the boundary before dropping dead. 
At the close of the twenty-third round he was one bird 
to the good, and was regarded as a sure winner. Pohlar, 
from 30yds., shot in fine form, killing his birds clean, 
and went straight to the twentieth bird, which lie missed, 
making him tie with Koch. His twenty-third bird also 
vot away, but he killed the last two and tied with Koch 
or 23. 
The shoot-off at 5 birds was held immediately and was 
won by Pohlar, who killed straight, Koch losing the last 
two birds. 
L. Ahlers, one of the old-timers, entered to-day for the 
trophy and shot from 30yds. He divided second money 
with Walker and Schreck on 22 kills. Rowe, Brown, 
Robbins and H. Osterfeldt, were in third place with 21 
each. A. M. Voige used his 20-gauge field gun, and 
demonstrated that when pointed right it could deliver the 
goods. He drew his full share of fast birds and made 
some very creditable kills. Entries for the trophy may 
be made at any time by the payment of $ 10 , which covers 
the entire series. The trophy must be won three times 
before becoming the property of any contestant, and he 
also takes the entire purse. Eleven shooters have en¬ 
tered so far, making a purse of $110 for the lucky man. 
Entrance in each match is $12.50, birds included, and 
this purse is divided 50, 30 and 20 per cent. 
The next shoot will be on Nov. 12. 
The afternoon’s sport ended with a miss-and-out, start¬ 
ing at 30yds. and going back one yard after each shot. 
Rowe and Schreck divided after killing five each, as 
the supply of birds was exhausted, and they could not 
shoot to a finish. The scores:

Keystone Gun Club. 
Holmesburg, Pa.— A small crowd of enthusiastic trap- 
shooters, taking chances on the weather, postponing other 
outdoor sports last Saturday, made the trip to Holmes¬ 
burg Junction, and over the Keystone traps had a little 
match of their own. 
Easily the feature of the shoot was the match for the 
Shannon trophy, held by J. Fred Slear. Dr. Wylie chal¬ 
lenged the holder, and in a match at 25 targets was de¬ 
feated by Slear, 21 to 20. Frank Brandt then took a shy 
at the medal, and standing at 17yds. he outshot Slear, 21 
to 20. Then Dr. Wylie thought he would have another 
try for the prize, and he immediately challenged the 
winner, but in a close match at which first one and then 
the other led, Brand succeeded in successfully defending 
it, 22 to 20 . 
In a shoot at 75 targets in strings of 25, J. H. Ander¬ 
son, captured the high gun honors by breaking 67, which 
was two targets better than Renner. Scores: J. Ander¬ 
son 67, Slear 61, Brandt 61, Dr. Babcock 57, Lindley 53, 
Keenan 06 , Renner 65, Wylie 58.

AMERICAN 
HANDICAP 
Y OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks —Solomons of the air. You can’t knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
with a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
of creation. 
A mallard shot is generally a long shot, and long 
shots require a hard-shooting, close-shooting gun. 
That’s why the long-headed man vho goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefe.'er. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it—- 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason a Lefever kills clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But if you buy a Lefever for the taper boring 
alone, you will get more than your money’s worth. 
For ins'ance, you will never be handicapped with 
looseness at the hinge joint. The exclusive Lefever 
screw compensates for a year’s wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver.

What makes a 
Shotgun kick ? 
A gun kicks when the powder burns near the muzzle, in¬ 
stead of beginning at the breach and burning progressively. 
The burning at the muzzle sends the impulse of the rapidly 
expanding powder both ways —up and down the barrel. 
And it is the back impulse that makes the gun kick against 
ymrr shoulder—causing nervous flinching and discomfort. 
This burning of powder at the muzzle has been completely 
overcome in Dead Shot by making the grains porous. Being 
porous, the primer flame penetrates all grains. And each 
grain begins to burn from the inside as well as the out—with 
an ever increasing burning surface as the speed of the charge 
accelerates up the barrel. The impulse beginning at the 
breach, you get high velocity without the kick. And the ve¬ 
locity thus attained gives best results in penetration. 
Dead Shot is the only porous grained powder — made so 
by a special, exclusive process. 
All dealers carry Dead Shot loads in stock.
