Two Clean Kills 
Y OU know quail— noisy winging bumble bees! 
They scared you green in your novice days 
as they broke from cover. They were 
almost out of range by the time you recovered 
and got your bearings. 
You know that sometimes, even to-day, you 
don’t get settled down until the whizzing birds 
are almost too far to reach. Then you wish for a 
gun that isn’t just “good enough”—wish for a gun 
that kills clean and far and sure. 
Any man who swings a Lefever true on a pair 
of quail at long range does not feel a heart flutter 
for the result. He knows it —Two Clean Kills. 
The reason Lefever Guns kill clean and sure 
and far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
Taper Boring is only one of 19 exclusive ad¬

tells about other things you must know if you are 
to invest your money right. It is worth sending for.

on'R AYTON ’ — Rain y weather on the morning of May 
-.9 kept a number of shooters from attending the second 
money-back tournament of the club. However, there 
were thirty shooters present, and the affair was voted a 
big success by all. The conditions were not conducive 
to good scores, though several were made. Changeable 
light and a stiff, variable wind made extremely hard 
targets, and caused the downfall of some of the shooters. 
The program was ten 15-target events, with $1.30 en¬ 
trance in each, and $ 1.00 additional to go into the money- 
back purse. The first five events were Rose system, 
5, 3, 2, 1 and the last five percentage system, 35, 30, 20, 
15. There was an optional sweep of $2 on the 150 tar¬ 
gets, divided high guns, one money for each five entries. 
Among the out-of-town shooters were Messrs. W. 
Webster and F. Ford, Columbus, O.; Williamson, 
Muncie, Ind.; Link and Walker, Hamilton, O.; Moeller 
and E. M. Stout, Circleville, O.; L. J. Squier, Pitts¬ 
burg, Pa.; C. O. Le Compte, Eminence, Ky.; F. Al- 
kire, Williamsport, O.; Bonta, Collins and Huff, of Wil¬ 
mington, O.. 
High professional scores were made by L. J. Squier, 
142; C. O. Le Compte, 139. High amateurs, W. Webster, 
139, C. B. Woodbury, 137; F. Alkire, 135. 
The race for amateur honors was a close one, Wood¬ 
bury and Webster being tied at the end of the ninth 
event, when each had dropped 11 targets. In the last 
event, Woodbury lost two and Webster went straight, 
winning high average. 
Long runs (not so very long, but the best of the day) 
were made by Squier, 46; Webster, 39; Le Compte, 35; 
Woodbury, 32. 
The money-back purse amounted to $54.35, and the 
losses were $37.35, leaving a surplus of $17 for the four 
high amateurs, which was divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per 
cent. The losses ranged from 65 cents to $6 The office 
was in charge of Walter Rohrer, and he performed his 
duties to every one’s satisfaction, paying off promptly 
at the close of the shoot. The other details of the shoot 
were all carried out smoothly, the only delay being 
caused by a heavy shower about 5 o’clock. A fine dinner 
was served in the house to which all did full

The fifth contest in series of ten matches for the 
club’s live-bird trophy was held on May 26 with a smaller 
attendance than at any if the previous shoots. The day 
was a perfect one for outdoor sport. The birds were 
only an ordinary lot, including a few fast ones, and an 
unusually large percentage of “setters,” which not even 
the balls could induce to fly. 
Besides the trophy event there were two 10-bird and 
several miss-and-out events. Dr. Gould was high man 
m the trophy, killing 15 straight, and also captured high 
gun honors for the afternoon with 44 out of 47, includ¬ 
ing the miss-ond-out events. Walker and Schreck tied 
for second on 14. Payne was second high in the day’s 
total with 38 out of 47 birds; Schreck, 34 . 
In the trophy event to date (five contests) Gould and 
Schreck are tied on 67 birds. Walker is only one be¬ 
hind. Payne has shot in four of the contests and killed 
52. 
There will be a trophy shoot in June, but none in 
July and August. The contest ends with the December 
shoot. The members having high total, taking his seven 
best scores, wins the trophy. The scores: 
Trophy event, 15 birds, $8.75 entrance, 60, and 40 per 
cent.:

Hyde Park Gun Club. 
May 28 was a day made to order for trapshooting, and 
there was a very fair attendance at the grounds, a dozen 
shooters facing the traps. “Kid” Randall is in excellent 
shape to trim the amateurs at Cleveland, and if he has 
to walk home it won’t be his fault. He got second to¬ 
day with 92, giving Rugg a hot race, tying him in the 
last three events. Rugg has got a gun that seems to 
suit him fairly well. lie broke 93 to-day, a score that 
ought to be some good at the State shoot. 
Johnson and Squier tied for third on 90. The former 
got a poor start, but picked up. He is going to Chicago 
to “donate” at the G. A. H., so he says, but he might 
fall into something of he’ll do as well as he knows how, 
and cut out fooling. 
Damer.on came over from Kentucky and got into the 
game, at the some time calling attention to the “money 
back” of the Northern Kentucky. He tied with Kep- 
linger on 86 . 1 he latter has been tied down to business 
for a number of weeks, and was mightily disappointed 
not to get a chance to shoot at more than 100 . 
We did not expect to see Stevenson for some time, 
but the game still draws him, and he stayed with us a 
short while. 
Smith is breaking in a new gun. Burch is a new man, 
but will make good with practice. 
Stevenson, Keplinger and Eustis tied in the chib trophy 
event on perfect scores, including their handicaps. 
Rugg and Keplinger were tied for high score in actual 
breaks, on 23. 
In the Du Pont trophy event, Rugg was high in actual 
breaks, with '47. Stevenson and Eustis put up perfect 
scores with their handicaps. The former shot an 88 
per cent, gait in this event, which is nearer his old- 
time mark than he has been doing lately. 
The club will arrange for a shoot on July 4, as usual. 
Work on the rifle range is being pushed, and the 
riflemen will soon have a chance to indulge in their 
favorite sport. The scores:
