Notes of the Shoot. 
Meadow Springs, the Du Pont’s closest competitor 
lost to Highland today. 
Du Ponts now are safely in the lead, and need to 
win but the next game to cinch the pennant. 
Clyde Leedom’s gun broke down with the first shot, 
and he shot through a strange gun, with not very good 
results. 
J. McHugh did not shoot up to his usual form. It is 
a very exceptional occurrence when Joe Ben does not 
make the team. 
Stanley Tuchton could not get started. 
Lansdale thought they were high until the next to 
the last squad of Du Pont shooters went on to the 
grounds. 
A. B. Richardson registered the only 25 straight of 
the day, and was high gun for both teams. 
The last Du Pont match will be at home March 7, 
and the pennant looks as good as won. 
Thirty-seven of the faithful made the trip, and shot 
against 36 of the Lansdale Club. 
There was a high wind, and it bothered the shooters 
to quite an extent. The wind to which the local boys 
have become accustomed to on the home grounds did 
not have anything on the breeze yesterday. 
me S. S. Whites also went down to defeat at the 
hands of the Clearview gunners who broke 459 to the 
Whites’ 443.

Clearview—S. S. White. 
Shooting at a remarkable clip throughout the after¬ 
noon, the Clearview Gun Club members dealt the S. 
S. Whites a vital blow when they defeated the Dentists 
on the Darby grounds yesterday by a score of 459 
to 443. The defeat virtually wiped away the last chance 
the Whites had to win the championship. 
Both clubs shot at a high clip from the start, but 
the Clearviews having a thorough streak on were un¬ 
beatable, for not a man of their ten team fell below 
the 43 mark. The lowest White made 41. 
The day was far from ideal for trap shooting, yet 
despite the wind and a poor background, the gunners 
‘got” their birds with a skill and precision which 
would have given any equal set of expert shots a close 
rub for victory. 
High scores predominated throughout the day. 
Straights were of common occurrence for an event, for 
no less than four Clearview men finished their last 25 
without losing a bird, while Severn did likewise for 
the Whites. 
Wiltbank was the best amateur shot on the field 
he losing but one of his half century of skimmers, that 
one getting away from him on his first event. Fisher 
a 1-, E, 3 eI1 tied for second high honors with 48 each, 
while Newcomb and Thompson led the Whites, with 
scores of 47 apiece, the same total being made by 
Bowers, of Clearview. 
■ vt, OW -u" Hawkins, the Baltimore professional, shot 
in with the amateurs and succeeded in breaking 99 out 
ot his 100 flyers, he making a run of 76 before having 
that one counted against him as “lost.” Scores: 
Team lace, ten men to a team; 50 targets per man.

been shot, six of them being won by the Blues, which 
More Hercules Victories 
Final results from Sunny South prove Infallible and E. C. unrivalled 
Jahn runs 148 and 108 with INFALLIBLE. Livingston 113, Arie 105 and 103 with E. C. 
MRS. TOPPERWEIN HIGH PROFESSIONAL 
This year’s Sunny South Tournament furnished the most sensational demonstration of th e 
superiority of Hercules Powders that it would be possible to imagine. From the very first day 
when J. R. JAHN, of Keota, Iowa, finished in the lead shooting INFALLIBLE, till the last 
target was trapped and it was found that shooters of HERCULES POWDERS had literally 
won everything in sight there was never any doubt that INFALLIBLE and E. C. shooters 
would be the high guns. It was simply a question of which ones in the large HERCULES 
contingent would take away the money. 
MARK ARIE’S PHENOMENAL SHOOTING 
WITH E. C. 
In winning the 12th Annual Sunny South 
Handicap with the fine score of 94x100 
from 22 yds., Mark Arie, of Thomasboro, 
III., set a record for this classic event. Never 
before has it been captured from this ex¬ 
treme distance. Three drams of E. C. did 
it. Not content with these honors Mr. Arie 
continued to pile up good scores and fin¬ 
ished the six days’ program high over all 
with 1140x1205. In doing so he made runs 
of 105 and 103 straight. 
J. R. JAHN MAKES LONGEST RUN WITH 
INFALLIBLE. 
Giving Mr. Arie a close race, J. R. Jahn, 
of Keota, Iowa, took second place on the 
1205 targets, breaking 1115. He was high 
gun on the first and last days when he re¬ 
turned the two best scores of the shoot, 
219x225 and 198x200 respectively. In ad¬ 
dition to this Mr. Jahn made a run of 108 on 
the first day and on the last day reeled off 
the longest run of the tournament—148 
straight. 
MRS. TOPPERWEIN, HIGH PROFESSION- 
AL, SHOOTS E. C. 
Not only did every winning amateur use 
Hercules Powders, but the High Professional, 
Mrs. Ad. Topperwein, of San Antonio, 
Texas, also shot E. C. Mrs. Topperwein led 
a fast crowd of professionals and finished the 
1205 targets with 1095 to her credit. She 
also won the high Professional averages on 
the second and fifth days. 
LIVINGSTON AND KENNICOTT HERCU¬ 
LES WINNERS. 
John Livingston, of Springville, Ala., and 
H. Kennicott, of Glen View, III., did their 
share toward making the Sunny South a 
Hercules land slide. The former took fourth 
place for the week’s program with 1107x 
1205, won the Houston Chronicle Trophy 
with 97x100, and cleaned up the bunch on 
the third day, breaking 190x200. He also 
made the 2nd longest run—113 straight. 
Mr. Kennicott got third money with 1106 
out of the 1205. He shot consistently well 
throughout the program, and was always 
right up with the leaders. Both Mr. Living¬ 
ston and Mr. Kennicott shot E. G. 
HERCULES SQUAD 1—2—3 IN EXTRA 
EVENTS. 
That wise bunch of shooters that depend¬ 
ed on Infallible and E. C. was not missing 
any bets this trip, so when the special 18-yd. 
event came along they put it on ice three 
times. Arie, Jahn, and Livingston tied for 
first 46x50. The Houston Post Team race 
was another one that didn’t count on the 
general average, but that didn’t keep Mark 
Arie and his team mate from walking away 
with it 49x50. Dan G. Barstow and his 
partner were the High Professionals—49x50. 
Mr. Barstow shot Infallible. 
WHY HERCULES POWDERS WON. 
Hercules Powders won everything at the 
Sunny South Tournament because they were 
used by the best shots, the men with the 
quickest eyes and steadiest hands. It would 
be foolish to say that Infallible and E. C. pos¬ 
sess qualities that make them shoot straighter 
than other powders. The question arises, 
then: Why do the best shots prefer Hercules 
Powders to any others? “Because,” as one 
of them said, recently, “you know where 
you stand when you’re shooting Infallible or 
E. C. You’re sure that every load will be 
like the one that went before it, and that 
counts a lot in the long run. There’s nothing 
gets you up in the air so quick as seeing a 
target get away when you know you’re hold¬ 
ing right on it. When you’re shooting Infal¬ 
lible or E. C. you can be pretty sure that 
won’t happen, and the confidence you’ve got 
in the powder makes you feel like you just 
naturally can't miss.” 
All of which means that Hercules Powders 
are really uniform, that they always give high 
velocities and good patterns. In addition to 
this Infallible is waterproof and weather¬ 
proof, and is the cleanest powder made 
to-day.
