Illy rVOSS >uOU Binghamton, N. Y, 
From every quarter of the globe we are receiving letters of praise for the 
performances of our “Ross” Rifles. An Arctic explorer whose life, and 
that of his comrades, was saved by the hard hitting, high power, accu¬ 
racy and speed of his “Ross” .280, under trying conditions, adds grati- 
ude to his praise. 
FOR BIG GAME 
No combination excels the “Ross” .280 High Velocity Rifle which sells 
in New York at $55.00, and the “Ross" .280 sporting cartridge with 
copper tube bullet—patented—selling at $7.50 per hundred.

Los Angeles Rifle and Revolver Club. 
Los Angeles, Cal., July 23, I9t4. 
In the first international match in years between an 
American Rifle Club and a foreign one, the Los Angeles 
Rifle and Revolver Club meets the picked team of the 
Rifle Clubs Federation of England August 23rd, in the 
first of a series of three cable matches. 
The Rifle Clubs Federation represents 5,000 British 
riflemen following the service rifle “full range” game, 
with full service loads and long range shooting. Various 
English ranges are used by this Federation and its 
branches. The first match against Los Angeles will 
be shot on the historic range of Runnymede, within 
sight of Windsor Cattle, and close to the spot where 
King John is supposed to have signed the Magna Charta. 
The second will be shot at Bisley. 
The conditions for the first match include 200, 300 
and 500 yards, American A targets for the two shorter 
ranges, the B target for the 500 yard, positions standing 
at 200, sitting at 300, prone at 500, 10 shots per man, 
any number to fire, the highest 10 men to count as the 
team. 
The second match is under English conditions, ranges 
200, 500, 600, 900 and 1,000 yards, English targets, all 
ranges shot prone. 
In the first match, despite the huge number from which 
the English h,igh ten men will be picked, the chances 
all favor the American club team. Offhand shooting is 
little practiced by the English riflemen, and they just 
as rarely use the sitting position, while the Los Angeles 
team, fresh from the matches of the Pacific Coast Rifle 
League, is very strong at the two short ranges. In six 
matches under the same conditions, the Los Angeles 
team ran from 818, low score to 831 high score, an aver¬ 
age of 823, for six man teams, and an average of 137 x 
150 for each man. The best rifle shot, unused to offhand 
work, can hardly hope to equal this average, and the 
Los Angeles team expect to win handily. 
In the second match, the superior wind judgment and 
holding of the British at long range is somewhat offset 
by the superiority of the American New Springfield 
against the Lee Enfield. The American team will fire 
the heavy 180 gr. Palma ammunition, giving nearly 2,700 
ft. secs, against 2,450 for the English 170 gr. spiitzer 
bullet. 
Except for matches shot between the Manhattan Club 
of New York against the Cercle Des Carbiniers &f Paris, 
there is no record in the past eight years of an Ameri¬ 
can civilian rifle club taking on such a large contract 
with a foreign team as the Los Angeles men have un¬ 
dertaken.

Nemours (Ladies) Trapshooting Club. 
Wilmington, Del., July, 1914. 
Fortune again favored the Nemours Club yesterday 
in the matter of weather and this week’s shoot developed 
a new star in the ranks of trapshooting women. Mrs. 
Chas. Springer again won the Ramsay trophy (the sec¬ 
ond week in succession and the third time this year) 
with a score of 18 out of 25 in the regular event. En¬ 
thused by this success she announced her intention of 
trying to go ahead of her son, twelve-year old Ralph 
Springer, who shoots faithfully every Saturday with the 
men and every Wednesday with the women, and who is 
good any time for from 20 to 22, and out of her second 
25 Mrs. Springer broke 22 (the last 15 straight) a rec¬ 
ord that has never been beaten by any of the Nemours 
ladies and only equaled by Miss Hammond, so look to 
your laurels. Miss Hammond, for we predict that you 
have here a foeman worthy of your steel, and anyone 
who has watched the scores, will see that Mrs. Springer 
is not a spasmodic shooter but that her progress has 
been rapid, steady and consistent. In her third round 
(for Mrs. Springer surely had the shooting habit yester¬ 
day) rather tired with the unwonted exertion, she fell 
ito 14, while Ralph, in the same squad and shooting with 
a strange gun, beat his mother’s and his own best rec¬ 
ord with a score of 23 out of 25. 
Book number 9 in the Booklovers’ Consolation Con¬ 
test, title “Campers’ Own Book,” was won by Dr. 
Seward, who is still going ahead. 
The scores for the day in the regular event follow: 
Mrs. White . 8 x 25 
Mrs. Riley . 14 * 25 
Dr. Seward . 10 x 25 
Mrs. Springer . 18 x 25 
Miss Wynands . 6 x 25 
Miss Hirst . 6 x 25 
Miss Hirst, who was experimenting with strange guns, 
in an effort to redeem herself shot a second string of 
25 and managed to break 13. 
Good spirits and enthusiasm were overflowing yester¬ 
day and the gripping fascination of the “Sport Allur¬ 
ing” was plainly evident and very amusing to some of 
the members when one young lady, who had announced 
her firm intention of not shooting at all, in a sudden 
streak of financial retrenchment, not only shot the first 
string but a second one. Some of the other women 
who have decided not to shoot during the vacation 
season say the only way to keep from it, is to stay 
away. 
The very best exhibition of the day and the strongest 
proof of the sporting spirit that is being developed in 
the trapshooting women was the keen interest in Mrs. 
Springer’s achievement and the hearty applause ac¬ 
corded her. 
JENNIE P. HIRST, Secretary. 
SAFETY FIRST 
You hear it everywhere. The 
Safety is one of the superior 
points of the “Gun that Blocks 
the Sears.” The Safety which 
makes accidental discharge 
impossible.
