HERCULES WINS EVERYTHING 
Infallible and E. C. Gain Overwhelming 
Victory at Sunny South Tournament 
Arie, Jahn, Kennicott, Livingston and Mrs. Top- 
perwein Finish in Order Named, All 
Shooting Hercules Powders. 
Jahn Makes Longest Run—108 Straight With Infallible. 
Houston, Texas, Jan. 29.—Shooters using Hercules Pow¬ 
ders proved invincible in the six-day Sunny South Handicap 
Tournament which ended here to-day. Besides winning 
every special event, and most of the daily averages, target 
smashers shooting Infallible or E. C. took the first live places 
for the whole program of 1205 birds. 
All the High"Guns Shoot Hercules. 
Mark Arie, of Thomasboro, Ill., was too fast for the big field of shooters 
and finished high over all with E. C. His score of 1140 out of 1205 gives 
him an average of 95 per cent. J. R. Jahn, of Keota, Iowa, took second 
honors, with 1115 x 1205, shooting Infallible. H. Kennicott, of Glen View, 
Ill., was third with a score of 1107 x 1205, being pushed hard by John Liv- 
ingston, of Springville, Ala., and Mrs. Topperwein, of San Antonio, Texas, 
who broke 1106 and 1095 respectively. The three last mentioned shooters 
used E. C. 
No more impressive evidence of the superiority of Hercules Powders 
could be offered than these remarkable records. Predictions made last week 
at the Midwinter Handicap held at Pinehurst, N. C., that Infallible and E. C. 
would be the most popular powders with trapshooters during 1914, are being 
more than fulfilled. Every indication points to the fact that this popularity 
will grow as the season advances. 
Arie Wins Sunny South Handicap. 
Mark Arie won the Classic Sunny South Handicap, breaking 94 x 100 
from the extreme distance of 22 yds. Mr. Arie shot E. C. 
Livingston Gets Trophy. 
John Livingston carried off the Houston Chronicle Trophy, which is 
emblematic of the Southern Amateur Championship, by smashing 97 out of 
100. Mark Arie tied for second with 96x100, and both shot E. C. 
Team Race Goes to Mark Arie and Bart Lewis. 
The Houston Post Trophy for the Amateur Team Championship was 
won by Mark Arie, and Bart Lewis, of Auburn, Ill. This pair broke 49 
x 50, Mr. Arie shooting E. C. Dan G. Bristow, of Kansas City, Mo., and 
H. H. Stevens, of Roselle Park, N. J., were the High Professionals in the 
team event. They also returned a score of 49x 50. Mr. Barstow shot

with the weather, a special rain match for a cup was 
shot for at 50 targets. It was won by W. C. Brooks.

who scored 150, the total of the three best scores 
made during this month. The second prize was award¬ 
ed to M. Ballou, who scored 149. The two months’ 
cup was won by C. F. Marden. who scored 584 in six 
of the 11 shoots held in December and January. S. 
A. Ellis was given second prize, he having scored 578.
