Shot shells are sold by the box. But do you buy by the box? Do you pick 
it up, examine the label—look for the red baU trade mark and the words 
“ Steel Lined ” ? Do it to protect yourself! 
Over 40,000 dealers sell shells. Nearly all sell UMC shells, the one kind 
made in all America lined with steel. So, you needn’t shoot an unlined shell. 
You want the Steel Lining for your protection; because it is the latest and 
best shot shell feature; because it makes the shell stronger and safer. 
Be alert! make sure that you get U M C Steel Lined Shells. 
If your dealer will not supply you with UMC Steel Lined Shells, write us.

at the Point Breeze track, Philadelphia, on Wednesday 
of this week, under the management of Mr. Horace 
Young. A new club house has been erected, which will 
add materially to the comfort of the contestants. There

a purse of $200. The scores were as follows: Heffner 6,

The trapshooting championship of New Jersey ap¬ 
parently is too heavy for any challenger to tote from the 
possession of Mr. Chas. T. Day, Jr., the holder. Mr. 
Roland Wicks, of Orange, attempted the feat on Satur¬ 
day of last week on the grounds of the Smith Gun Club, 
Newark, Mr. Day scoring 49 to the challenger’s 41. The 
challengers of late have been confined to an extremely 
local area, and cannot fairly be considered as represent¬ 
ing the power of the State. The monthly prize shoot of 
the Smith Gun Club will be held on Saturday of this 
week.
