FAIR WEATHER MEANS A GREAT CROWD TO SEE TECH PLAY BELLEFONTE ON ISLAND Ducks, Hot Biscuits and Gravy With Tom Marshall "A friend in need is a friend In deed." Dr. S. B. Friend of Los An gles, Cal., is all that the word friend Implies, so accepted by the host of good sportsmen who sing climatic conditions and specialize on the Pacific coast as an ideal resi dence section. There is an atmos pheric condition in "Sunset Land" which engenders sociability and good fellowship. Doctor Friend and wife are the devotees of the art of trap shooting. On a recent visit to Ma nilla, at a shooting tournament given by the Gun Club k the medal repre senting the Philippine Island cham pionship, was annexed by Mrs. Friend in an open contest. As a re cent contestant in the Grand Amer ican Handicap, in Chicago, she turn ed in most credible scores. October 16 was the opening day in the duck shooting arena in Califor nia. As the guest of Dr. Friend and wife, the writer visited the Cas tle Lake Duck Club, a run of about one hundred miles over the ridge route road from Los Angeles. The lake Is located in the Tejon Rango of mountains, in Kern county, about fifty miles inland from tho railroad, approximately two miles long and one wide, deep in tho center and shoal near the shores. Wild rice and celery furnished the piece do re sistance, while tule, flag and reeds, form an ideul trystlng place, where duck confidences are exchanged. Shore blinds are scattored around the lake, so located that the hunter always has the advantage of wind conditions. The hunting ledge is spacious and convenient, exellent beds which seem to tit one's form after a day afield. A competent chef who specializes on the cooking of ducks, with a real duck gravy and hot biscuits, which have made the southland famoujj. When we arrived, the surface of the lake was covered with mallards, teal, spoon-bill, sprigs, while an oc casional flock of canvasback were conspicuous by their Hashing silver gray color, covering the lake like a white blanket, in limited sections. Resting in the center of tho pond, they felt immune from danger, as there had been no shooting on the grounds prior to our arrival- Tnve oak trees were around the shores, up the mountainside is seen the state ly, towering pine and fir. Ensconced in our blind, tho first shot was fired, which put all wild life in motion, creating general con sternation. They jumped from the surface of the water and commenc ed "milling." Wo were occupying a point blind, which gave us numerous shots as the birds circled about. We soon had sufficient number of to make a respectablo decoy display. We staked them out by running a sharpened stick into the mud, impal ing the lower portion of the duck's bill on tho stick, which gave them a life-like appearance as they rest ed on the water. The decoy layout was especially seductive, assisted by the dulcet notes of a duck call, birds dropped in, affording most excel lent shooting. We were soon con vinced that our bag limit would bo reached before tho evening flight smarted. Then came tho "shot about" order, scorng mallard ducks of the male persuasion only.

When a man successfully matches wits with this wily ace of the air, he has cut out some work ; for himself. Circling high in the clouds turning his head from side to side, very little gets away from his acute vision. Anxious to light when conditional are propitious, he becomos nonsusplcious. The cam ouflage blind must be alrifost perfect and the hunter set rigid, a little turn of one's head to watch their flight will frequently start a duck climb ing higher, sending him to other climes. Our legal limit count was made, two ducks more completed our quota, they were pulled down by Miss Diana, our shooting pard. As our birds were tied in bunches, the color scheme found on a male mal lard appealed to me as being the most perfect offered by any other bird awing. Our birds must have been members of the I. W.

Answer: Prior to the discovery, of the micrometer and other instru- \ ments for accurate gauging, all shot I guns were cylinder, bore. A spheri cal ball of lead, which exactly fitted to the bore, was then weighed up, the number pf bullets required' to weigh one pound determined the gauge of the gun. Twelve bullets weighing one pound was indicative of a twelve gauge gun. Question: What would be the correct lead on a target thrown fifty yards? JACOB MILLER. Davenport, lowa. Answer: The accurate lead would depond upon too many unstated con ditions for me to hazard a guess— whether a straight away or angle target, if an angle, the degree; if straight! away the height, calm or windy, steady or irregular flight; whether you follow with your gun the flying object, shooting at a time when your gun is in motion. or whether you swing ahead of your target and stop your gun before fir ing. Ask some professional who is attending the tournament or some successful homo amateur. Question: Where could I get cor rectly measured for a gun? I want to commence trapshooting and feel, after reading your articles, I should start with a gun that fits. J. R. C. Evansville, Ind. Answer: Locate a professional equipped with a try gun or a knowl edge of guns and their construction. He will measure you accurately, de termining all requisites. You are on the right plan. Get your gun to fit. Then you will rapidly learn to shoot.
