Trapshooting, Hunting, Fishing

OUR OUTDOORSMAN SAYS
That bird you so confidently aimed
at-will you get it? If you don't
it may be because your gun barrel is
rusted, pitted or fouled with car
bon and powder residue. Oil alone
cannot prevent these destructive
agents from running your gun. OIL
is a 1ubricant-not a cleaner. To
get the barrel absolutely clean you
will have to use a good solvent. 1t
dissolves and removes carbon, pow
der grains and nitric acid gases. 1t
prevents pitting, scoring, fouling
and the danger of high breech pres
sure. 1t prevents and removes rust.
1t makes your gun long lived,
straight shooting, hard hitting and
safe.
The law as amended March %.
1920, reads: ut shall be unlawful
to hunt, kill or destroy, or attempt
to hunt, kill or destroy, any hare or
rabbit with ferrets under the penalty
of $4,000 for each offense.''
This is the law in New York state
as well as in New Jersey.
The taking of rabbits with ferrets
the unrestricted use of ferrets would
result in the determination of the
rabbits. Where the ferret is used
the rabbit has no chance. If he
leaves his burrow he will be shot or
knocked on the head by the hunter
who is stationed at the entrance,
while if the ferret gets him he will
be killed and the hunter may not
be able to get him.
Two Sets of Barrels.
Many gunners who can afford ii
have two sets of barrels for their fa-
vorite gun. This is a splendid plan
and will be found to be most con-
venient.
In having two sets of barrels for a
IL bore gun for all-around use we
would suggest one set for ducks and
geese, left barrel full and right three
quarter choke; and the second pair
right improved cylinder and left
half choke. In other words the duck
gun would shoot Z 5 per cent. left and
60 per cent. right and the field bar
rels would shoot as per cent right
and so to So per cent left. Both
barrels should be the same length
so as not to alter the balance of your
gun.

VerInin

The great scarcity of game in
many sections of our state this year
may be due to vermine. Darwin
says: "The abundance of game birds
in a given locality is chiefly depsn-
dent upon the destruction of ve--
min"
The crow unquestionably is to be
classed among the foremost enemies
of the country's game conservation
interests. While this may seem like
broad statement there is ample
proof to back 1t.
1t has often been argued that the
crow is valuable adjunct to the
farmer in that it destroys large num-
bers of grubs and insects that are
injurious to crops. True-but when
the fact is taken into consideration
that every crow kills many birds
and destroys the eggs of birds that
eat just as many and perhaps more
of these injurious pests. the crows
importance to our agricultural inter-
ests loses its significance. Because
of this fact alone, the crow is not
entitled to protection.
The crow is the archerkmy of
some of our noblest game birds
such as grouse, quail, pheasants
ducks and upland plover. 1t kills
great numbers of the young of these
birds as we'll as destroys many of the
eggs, and it has been known to kill
young rabbits and destroy the eggs
of the turkey. 1t has no equal for
bold sagacity and its record as a
game vandel is staggering. The crow
is worthy of a prominent place in
the Hall of Fame of vermin and 1t
Is the duty of every sportsman to
destroy vermin wherever found.
Lead EN-.
A gentleman referred to as an un-
successful shot could never learn to
swing far enough ahead of his birds,
in spite of the coaching of his guide,
who continually called out on each
cross shot, Lead him-Lead him
One night they were polling home
from the marsh, empty handed as
usual, when the pusher stopped the
boat and sarcastically pointed out
muskrat on top of his house twenty
Yards away. MAYBE you can hit
that exclaimed he with withering
sarcasm in his tone. I'll try" said
the sportsman, who put up his gum
took steady aim, fired-and missed.
"Well, I'll be darned," said the
pusher, throwing down his paddle.
"Do you mind telling me how you
happened to miss that rat?
'T don't know exactly" said the
other frankly, but you are always
telling me to lead them AS near
as 1 can tell I held about five feet
in front of him. Wasn't that
enough?"

which Ed Mooney Poulsen is the
matchmaker.

=. pointed Irinz Shapiro, of New York

Newark, in a six round setto.
Cy Stevens, of William street,
kayoed Young Blanchard. of Fords,
in a half minute, In the second
scheduled six round bout.
Referee Joseph McNulty stopped
the bout between Charley Kinhaefer,
of Keyport, and Young Dixon, of
Keyport, after the latter, a colored
boxer, went down for the fourth
time in the first round of a schedul-
ed four round go.
Young Egart, colored, of Newark,
had the better of Kid Yango, Of
North Amboy, in the opening four
round contest.
Murphy All the Way
In the feature contest, the fans
were shown more by the Trenton
lad than they expected to see, while
Leonard's average dropped consider
ably in the minds of National Sport
Club followers as a result of his
showing. Murphy weighed 124
pounds, two pounds heavier than his
opponent.
Every round of the main bout was
practically the same, the Trenton
boy forcing the fighting throughout
and landing lefts and rights.
Leonard failed to use his right at
all last night, contenting himself by
pushing his left in his opponents
face.
Both Murphy and Leonard have
defeated some good men in the
bantamweight class, but it is hard
for the fans to dope out some of the
latter's victories after his showing
here last night.
The Best Bout
From the spectators standpoint,
the six round semi-final contest, won
by Young Dorando, of Newark, was
the best event of the evening. Do
rando, weighing 127, won from
Irinz shapiro, the rapidly rising New
York boy.
Shapiro is clever, and works his
right and left to perfection, but in
Dorando he engaged a good two
&handed fighter. After the first two
dTounds when the two boys exchang-
Ted quite evenly, the Newarker land
y ed two for one during the balance
of the time. Dorando finished
strong in nearly every round.
Byers Wins
George Byers, the new local fav-
orite, had an easy time outpointing
Sammy Price, of Newark, in the
second six round contest. Price
mixed fairly we'll during the first
two rounds, and during the remain
der of the bout was on the re-
ceiving end. Byers weighed 116,
two pounds lighter than Price. By

shows and won two of his fights

Answered by
JIMMY SMITH
Three times winner in all events
of the American Bowling Congress, u
record which no other bowler has
ever approached. Famed for his abil-
ity to control a curved ball.
DO not take more than five steps.
MY recommendation is to take five
exactly. In taking these steps. fol-
low the advice usually printed on
theatre programs as an admonition
in case of fire-"WALK-DON NOT
RUM" Running causes all sorts OF
difficulties. such as wrong foot posi-
ton, lost balance, poor aim. and bad
control of the ball.
Bowl steadily, without the jerks,
runs and twists which the average
bowler uses, and your game will inn
prove raZidly.
