any of the Los Angeles revolver shooters ever entered 
any of the matehes of the Association, and not having 
very much practice on the indoor range, the result was 
that the scores were not very high. The southern Cali¬ 
fornia climate permits- using the outdoor range the 
entire year and nearly all of the shooting has been 
done outdoors. Owing to this fact, a large number of 
entries are looked for and §reat interest taken in the 
outdoor contests of the Association this coming summer. 
Those who entered the indoor contest are A. B. 
Douglas, I. C. Douglas, \V. E. Smith, C. W. Linder and 
H. ]3. Thaxter.

T&union Indoor Rifle League. 
Taunton, Mass., March 25. —A fine match was shot 
here between teams of the Brockton Rifle Association 
and a team representing the Taunton Indoor Rifle 
League, the home team winning by a close margin. 
Each team now has a win to its credit. The toss of a 
coin gave Brockton the choice of place for the third 
match. This will probably be Brockton, on April .7, 
with longer distance range, which gives Brockton the 
advantage. A cordial invitation was extended to have 
the match shot here, and the teams join the members 
of the League at their banquet next Wednesday evening.

THE LEFEVER GUN WINS 
T> ECAUSE the taper system of choke boring was originated 
^ and first adopted in the Lefever factory, and is best 
understood and practised by the men who make Lefever guns. 
The Lefever gun won the High Amateur Average of the 
United States for 1908 in the double bird events—positive 
proof that both barrels of the Lefever are bored uniform- 
oiympic Games true, that both barrels give the penetration and the 
London, 1908 pattern needed to win consistently. 
OF I FAIVIF The Lefever gun lasts the patented compen- 
VjUIiO vfl t llivl 1 AlTlLi ^ sating features of its action takes up wear in every 
direction, and it can never shoot loose. No other gun, American or foreign, is as simple in 
its construction or as positive in its action. The new Lefever cocking hook, one solid 
piece of steel, does the work of from i 8 to 25 parts in other high-grade shotguns
