TO GIBBS AND FOX. 
Lynchburg, Va., June 5, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream : 
I wish to protest most emphatically against J 
your account of the Southern Handicap held in 
Memphis 11, 12 and 13. I believe in giving 
credit where credit is due, and would ask why 
no mention is made of H. D. Gibbs of the 
U. M. C. Company, and T. H. Fox of the Her¬ 
cules Powder Co., who were the two high pro¬ 
fessionals in the main event, with scores of 96 
out of 100 from the 23 and 20-yard lines, re¬ 
spectively Not only was the shooting of these 
men consistent and high-class all through the 
tournament, but there was not one on the ground 
who did more for the comfort and pleasure of 
those participating. E. A. Walton 
I willingly give credit where the same is due. 
I trust Brothers Gibbs and Fox will forgive me 
for the omission.—Editor. 
Reload 
Your 
Shells! 
Lieutenant Townsend Whelen, War 
Department Expert, says: 
By using a little care reloaded am¬ 
munition can be made to give considerable 
more accurate results than factory 
ammunition because it can be fitted ex¬ 
actly to the particular rifle in which it is to 
be used. . It is very much cheaper, 
often costing only about half what the factory cartridge costs, 
and you can obtain a great variety of loads to meet all 
conditions of target shooting and hunting. The Ideal Hand 
Book, published by The Marlin Fire¬ 
s' arms Co., is the standard work on re¬ 
loading, and evervone who attempts to 
reload at all simply must have a copy.”
