S TART on your fall hunt supplied with Peters Shells—the ammunition that you can 
always depend on for shooting quality and results. 
It is not necessary to use high-priced ammunition to win success at the traps or in the field.

SHOT-GUN SHELLS 
give real and complete satisfaction, but their cost is within the reach of all. Barton Lewis won the U. S. 
Amateur Championship at Dayton, O., June 17, 1913, scoring 19S out of 200 with Peters “Target”— 
medium priced shell for Bulk Smokeless. Chas. A. Young won the Professional Championship of the 
United States, scoring 197 out of 200 with Peters “High Gun”—medium priced Shell for Dense Smokeless.

state rules will govern and the Squier money back sys¬ 
tem will provide for the “under dog.” Luther Squier 
will again personally manage the shoot and Charles 
North will see that the Ideal-Leggitt traps work without 
a hitch. 
Preliminary practice and unscheduled sweepstakes 
will precede the regular program on Monday and Tues¬ 
day. Wednesday and Thursday will be devoted to four 
fifteen-target sweeps and two twenty in the morning, 
and two twenty and four fifteen in the afternoon. 
The hundred target preliminary on Friday will be pre¬ 
ceded by four fifteen and two twenty target sweeps 
and the same program will precede the handicap on 
Saturday. The detailed program will be forwarded 
promptly by the Country Club secretary in response 
to a post-card request. Mail and telegraph entries are 
both acceptable, and ammunition may be shipped in care 
of the club. -

Most of the shooters went to the foot ball game. 
However, we were able to get nine of the faithfuls to 
report at the traps for practice. P. B. Plummer, the 
noted Chattanooga professional, led the shooting. He 
finished his last score straight, having a long run of 
44 without a miss. Plummer also finished high on 
double targets. Dr. T. J. Sellers lead the amateurs 
with 85 out of his 100 shot at.

Pelham Manor, N. Y., Nov. 11.—Watching goals 
kicked from the forty-yard line was more enticing than 
breaking rocks from the sixteen-yard line, consequently 
today’s cracker line was slim. Tom Lenane, Jr., took 
high handicap gun for the day with 306. He also tied 
in the Travers Island 'Cup, with 4-25, but lost the shoot- 
off, and Medal Shoot 21-145. G. H. Martin, a compara¬ 
tively new shooter at Travers Island, did very consist¬ 
ent _ shooting, winning leg on accumulation cup 8-50, 
Variety Cup (mixed singles and doubles) with 15 x 25, 
and tying on Travers Island trophy with a full from a 
four-disc draw. R. R. Debacher, the old reliable, took 
a limb of monthly cup, 5-25, and kopped second on club 
cup. 10-48. Dan McMahon won distance handicap from 
twenty yards with 22 x 25. High actual score for the 
day was McMahon, 286 x 325, Culver second with 27, 
Lenane third with 265. These totals not including 
variety event. G. H. Bingham shot only three events, 
getting 23 and a straight 25 from scratch and 17 from 
21 mark in distance handicap. Jack Fanning did other 
pro honors without extending himself.

Trapshooting Committee Marine and Field Club. 
Won 'by C. D. Sayre. 
Annual Trap Shooting Tournament at Madison 
Square Garden. 
Several features heretofore unlisted in tournaments 
of this character have been added. 
To interest the rapid-growing field of women shoot¬ 
ers, a contest for ladies will be listed. 
A daily high score trophy to the contestant making 
the high score on each day during the tournament is 
also a new innovation. 
The Diamond Fob offered for the winning of the 
“Indoor Championship,” will be worth your considera¬ 
tion. 
A handsome trophy emblematic of the indoor profes¬ 
sional championship to the professional making the high¬ 
est average of the tournament will also be given. 
The inter-city indoor team championship, which 
will be shot on February 27th, is called to the atten¬ 
tion of the shooters. This should prove an attractive 
event, and suitable trophies will be given to each mem¬ 
ber of the winning team. 
Saturday, Feb. 21, will be practice day. 
The shooting sessions will be from 11:00 A. M. to 
1:30 P. M., and from 5:30 P. M. to 8:00 P. M. daily. 
At which times contestants may make entry and en¬ 
deavor to qualify for the final round which will deter¬ 
mine the championship. 
The traps will be open each morning from 10:00 
A. M. to 11:00 A. M. for the exclusive use of novices— 
or beginners. There will be a number of experts on 
hand who will give instructions to either ladies or gen¬ 
tlemen desiring to learn the art of trap shooting.
