AN APRIL SHOWER IN OKLAHOMA 
It rained U. M. C. wins at Enid, Okla., April 28-29, where the Oklahoma State Shoot was 
held. The report is fairly spattered with U. M. C. honors won by either amateurs or profes¬ 
sionals, shooting 
U.M.C. STEEL LINED SHELLS 
The wins in importance are as follows: 
Highest Amateur Average, won by L. E. Reed, score 364 ex 400—91% 
Oklahoma State Championship, won by L. E. Reed, score 47 ex 50—94% 
Highest General Average, won by W. H. Heer, score 378 ex 400—94;%% 
In addition to Mr. Reed, the next two highest amateurs chose and used U. M. C. shells. 
They are the shells with the steel lining, which won 8 out of 10 of the Interstate Cham¬ 
pionships during 1907. As a point of caution, why not use U. M. C. shells at the 1908 
Grand American, to be held at Columbus, Ohio, June 23d to 26th. 
The use of U. M. C. Shells is good insurance
