Y OU know mallards-wisest and wariest of all 
ducks- Solomons of the air. You can’t knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
with a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
of creation. 
A mallard shot is generally a long shot, and long 
shots require a hard-shooting, close-shooting gun. 
That’s why the long-headed man who goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefe/er. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it— 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason a Lefever kills clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But if you buy a Lefever for the taper boring 
alone, you will get more than your money’s worth. 
For instance, you will never be handicapped with 
looseness at the hinge joint. The exclusive Lefever 
screw compensates for a year’s wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver.

Sixteen other exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the $28 gun the 
peer of any S 50 gun on the market. Upwards to

HITTING vs. MISSING 
By S. T. Hammond (‘‘Shadow”). 
Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse, or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this orig¬ 
inal manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it 
original, because, as the chapters will show, the author 
was self-taught; the expedients and devices adopted and 
the forms of practice followed were his own. This then 
may be termed the Hammond system of shooting; and 
as it was successful in his own experience, being here 
set forth simply and intelligently, it will prove not less 
effective with others.

Western Pennsylvania Trapshooters’ 
League. 
Highland Club the Champion. 
Philadelphia, Pa., May 7.—Highland’s victory over 
the S. S. White and Haddonfield teams, with the sudden 
surprise handed out to South End of Camden by the 
Meadow Springs, enabled the Edge Hill men to win 
the Trapshooters’ League championship yesterday after 
noon with a total of 17 points, and an actual breakage 
of 2602 targets. The Whites finished third in the race, 
with 13 points, while Meadow Springs beat out Haddon¬ 
field for fifth place by 2 points, 11 to 9. The points 
scored and targets broken follow:

Highland, by consistent team shooting, broke a total 
of 434 targets, beating the Whites by 17 birds and the 
Haddonfields by 40 birds. The clear, warm weather was 
a tempting inducement for the gunners, and with very 
little wind and a perfect working target, there was no 
excuse for the men who made poor scores. High totals 
scooped the field, and two men managed to break 49 out 
of their 50 birds. Kahler, of the Highlands, and Grif¬ 
fiths, of the Whites, were the honor men. Halloway, 
of Haddonfield, broke 48. Scores:

The shoot on the Meadow Springs grounds will likely 
be protested. After the South End Club had finished 
shooting and led Meadow Springs by a score of 436 
to 435, Stone appeared at the traps late, and his score 
was counted by Meadow Springs, giving the latter club 
a victory by a score of 437 to 436. The matter will be 
settled by the League. 
To encourage good work, Meadow Springs offered 
spoons for the high guns, Slear and Greene being the 
lucky ones for South End, and Murdock capturing the 
honors for Meadow Springs. 
In addition to these prizes, the South End Club had 
offered silver cups for the members making the highest 
totals in the six League shoots. These were won by 
Frank J. Hineline, of Camden, with a total of 261; Fred 
Slear, of Collingswood, N. ,T., also captured one for his 
total of 256, and the other went to Edward Cordery,. of 
Hammonton, N. J., who was just one target behind 
with 255. Scores:

Kahler the Winner. 
Philadelphia, Pa., May 7. —The amateur target cham¬ 
pionship tournament run under the auspices of the High¬ 
land Gun Club for the Class A, B and C men came to a 
conclusion yesterday afternoon at Edge Hill, with Kahler 
winner of the Class A; Franklin in Class B, and Wentz 
in Class C. The conditions of the tournament were: 
Three shoots for a total of 360 targets, 120 per shoot; 
class shooting, with a 16yd. rise. In addition to the 
diamond watch fob donated for the winner of each class, 
he was also rewarded with a $25 cash prize, which, with 
the money events in all three shoots more than made it 
worth while for a gunner to compete. Kahler yesterday 
broke 114 of his 120 birds, which, with the scores of 114 
and 112 made in the other two shoots, gave him a total 
of 340 breaks out of his 360 targets. Jesse Griffith, who 
outshot Kahler yesterday by 4 targets, finished second 
for the three shoots, having grassed 335 out of his 360. 
Tansey got a final count of 332 and Landis 322. On the 
entire day’s program Griffith led the entire field with 
145 breaks out of 150. 
Franklin won the B trophy. He broke 107 yesterday, 
which with his scores of 100 and 111 , made in previous 
events, enabled him to beat out F. Mathews, of Trenton, 
by a bird, 318 to 317. Pflegar finished third with 310. 
Wentz won the Class C trophy with 296 smashes, 
breaking 96 for his final test yesterday, and an even 100 
in the other two shoots. Scores:

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., May 7.—The Analostan gunners 
held a very successful shoot on May 1. Twenty-three 
marksmen faced the traps and good scores were the order 
of the day. George L. Lyon, the popular trade repre¬ 
sentative, was a visitor, and gave a splendid exhibition 
of how to break targets. He scored 97 out of 100 in the 
singles, and broke 13 pairs without a miss. Following 
are the scores:

Dufour won a leg on the Wagner medal, scoring 25 
straight; he also won the spoon in Class A, breaking 49 
out of 50. W. M. Willis won the spoon in Class B, 
scoring 42 out of 50. R. H. Leight won the spoon in 
Class C on 31 out of 50. Frank Kahrs won it in Class 
D, breaking 31 out of 50, after a shoot-off with C. S. 
Wilson. 
The shoot on May 6 was well attended. The trap 
spring broke after the second event had been started, 
and after being replaced with a new one, 80yd. targets 
were thrown. My, but they were hard; but for the fun 
of it the trap was not changed, and of course the scores 
tumbled, as will be seen by the following:

Mr. Geo. W. Peck, Jr., having resigned as captain of 
the club, Mr. Everett Dufour was nominated to fill the 
vacancy and was unanimously elected. 
Mr. T. Haze Keller, Jr., spent the afternoon with us. 
He said that during all his travels over this country he 
had never seen a swifter target thrown, or one that went 
quite so far. 
Mr. E. M. Funk spent the afternoon with us. He is 
an old member of our club and the boys were glad to 
see him.
