POCONO PROSPECTS GOOD. 
The late snow and cold in the Pocono Moun¬ 
tains (Penna.) this season are regarded by fisher¬ 
men hereabouts as sure signs of a big catch when 
the trout season opens April 15. The expectation 
is the stronger because of the work done last 
October in stocking the various streams around 
Canadensis. The fry have done well during the 
winter and are expected to prove gamy when the 
season opens. 
Nemours (Ladies) Trapshooting Club. 
Wilmington, Delaware, April 17, 1914. 
Sixteen ladies were present at the regular weekly shoot 
of the Nemours Trapshooting Club, Thursday after¬ 
noon of this week. 
Mrs. O. B. Clark appeared at the traps after an ab¬ 
sence of about four months due to illness. She was 
right back in her old form, however, and broke nineteen 
of her twenty-five targets, winning the prize for high 
actual score, a bound volume of The Sportsmen’s Re¬ 
view from July to December, 1910. This was donated to 
the club by Mrs. Ruth A. Pepple of Erie, Kansas, and 
contains, a number of her writings and sayings. Mrs. 
Pepple is a lover of outdoor sport and writes most in¬ 
teresting stories on all subjects connected with the great 
outdoors. 
In the handicap event for the Major Ramsay Trophy 
and the tenth book of the Booklovers’ Contest, Miss 
Jessie A. Gentieu was declared the winner after an ex¬ 
citing shoot-off with Mrs. E. L. Riley, Mrs. Sarah H. 
White, Mrs. O. B. Clark, Miss Margaret R. Woodman

EXPLANATION: 
A shooter starts with an added target handicap based , 
on her previous shooting and the above scale of handi¬ 
capping. 
Illustration—A shooter who averages 10 “dead” tar- 1 
gets out of a possible 25 would therefore begin the com- I 
petition with a handicap of 7 “added targets.” A 
shooter, thereafter handicaps herself in the contests by 
her scores. Illustration—The shooter mentioned above 
begins with a handicap of 7 bv reason of averaging 10 
out of a possible 25. At the first event she breaks 8— 
her score for this event would be 8 plus the 7 “added 
targets” or 15. However, on the second event she gets 
9 “added targets” by reason of breaking 8 on her previ¬ 
ous event. If on the second event she should break 18 
targets her score for this event would be 25, not 27, as 
it is impossible to score better than 100 per cent. In 
the third event she would get 0 “added targets” by 
reason of having broken above 17 targets in preceding 
event. 
The final winner is the shooter averaging, with the 
handicaps, the highest percentage on the targets scored. 
Shoot-offs, if necessary, will be conducted on the basis 
of the above scale of handicapping, and it is understood 
that the management reserves the right to make an 
adjustment during the contest or during the shoot-off, 
if thought advisable to do so. 
State College Gun Club. 
State College, Pennsylvania, April 16, 1914. 
The “State College Gun Club” held their first regu¬ 
lar shoot of the 1914 season to-day. On account of many 
of the members being absent on fishing exercusions, the 
attendance was rather limited. The scores follow: 
*W. R. Ham . 22 x 25 
W. L. Foster . 42 x 50 
F. A. Robinson . 22 x 25 
C. N. Fisher . 18 x 25 
F. V. Struble . 13 x 25 
T. R. Weber . 13 x 50 
*“Straight run” 20. !

Anaconda Gun Club. 
Anaconda, Mont., April 4, 1914. 
In spite of a drizzling rain that fell all afternoon, 19 
gun cranks faced the traps at the Nell shooting park 
to-day for the regular April schedule of the Anaconda 
Gun Club. Those present from out of town were Lee 
Williams, A. L. Tippett, Ted Larabie, McMullin and 
Benton of Deer Lodge; C. C. Goddard, W. A. Willoughby 
and C. H. Smith of Butte; A. W. Woodworth of Spokane, 
representing the Winchester company, and C. L. Flani¬ 
gan of Great Falls, representing the Peters Cartridge 
Company. 
95 out of 1OO from 2 1 yards—the high 
score at Oklahoma City made with a 
"WINCHESTER 
Repeating Shotgun and Loaded Shells 
| HIS was the score that outshone all others and set shooters a-talking at the South¬ 
western Handicap Tournament, held at Oklahoma City, April I 4-16th. It also 
won the Preliminary Handicap for R. A. King, of Delta, Colo., the man who 
made it. Such a score by an amateur from such a long mark in such a big 
tournament, shows great skill and nerve and the possibilities of the most reliable gun 
and shells. Winchester shotguns and shells are that kind. Their superiority was fur¬ 
ther demonstrated by the High Professional score of 94 x 100 from 22 yards made 
with them in the Preliminary Handicap by C. G. Spencer. Because of their quality, 
which makes such high class shooting possible, Winchester guns and ammunition are 
rightly considered the ‘‘Leaders of the World.” 
There can be but one best—WINCHESTER IS THAT ONE
