Smokeless Powders 
THE CHOICE OF THE 
Leaders of the Western Pennsylvania 
Trapshooters’ League 
1912 was notable for the high amateur averages made by 
prominent members of this organization. These accomplish¬ 
ments are especially creditable to the following members as 
well as an indication of the reliability at the traps of Du Font’s 
Powders. 
C. F. Moore, Brownsville, Pa. 93.75% Schultze 
J. F. Calhoun, McKeesport, Pa. 93.47% Dupont 
G. E. Painter, Pittsburgh, Pa. 92.98% “ 
Dr. A. H. Aber, Dravosburg, Pa. 92.63% “ 
The uniform quality of Du Font’s Powders is a conspicuous 
feature. It is this uniformity which creates confidence and 
aids in making high scores wherever the tournament occurs. 
Du Pont, Ballistite, Schultze or Empire should be on the top 
shot wad of your shells. These are the powders used by 
makers and breakers of trapshooting records.

Larchmont, Y., Jan. 2().—To-day's shoot wound 
up the monthly prize events as well as including daily 
prizes. K. Jones was the man of the hour, getting away 
with five-eighths of the trophies. He first cracked 9 out 
of 10 for the opening sweeps; next," special trophy with 
a full score came his way, after which he stowed away 
X’isitors’ trophy, washing this down with Take-Home 
trophy, and topping off the day's joy with .-\ccumulation 
trophy, each with a full score of 25, all of which gave 
him high gun for the day with 125 out of 150. A. L. 
Burns was pace-maker, only four targets behind on high 
gun. O. C. Hoyt won the 100-target handicap with 92; 
also leg on the monthly cup. This trophy, however, was 
won outright by \V. E. Ferguson, who had won two 
legs on it. He shot off for it yesterday against Batter- 
son, McCahill and Hoyt. Special trophy for the month 
was won by Tom McCahill. Scores:

A. C. 
Bosto.n, Mass , Jan. 25.—A squad, goodly in num¬ 
bers and performance, shot over the Riverside traps to¬ 
day. Adams, from scratch, shot as clean a pair of 
events as one could want to see. Over McCrea traps 
he broke 50 straight with 47 out of 50 at Sargeant 
throwers. The total of the two were for take-home 
trophy, in which Whitney, standing 18 saucers, reached 
him. In the shoot-off Whitney, with iVz up, won by % 
aerosaucer. Captain Tucker put up a good race, draw¬ 
ing 2J4 in each event and making a full on Sargeant and 
4414 on McCrea, tying Osborne at 95 for monthly cup, 
which was finally won by Osborne in the shoot-off, but 
only by % point. Ballou, with 2%, broke his targets 
cleanly and lost out over the McCrea's by only i/4 scaler, 
making 49% out of fifty. With 46% in the other event, 
he totaled 95. The scores:

United Shoe Gun Club. 
Beverly, Mass., Jan. 25.—Before the biggest crowd 
of the season that has ever attended a shoot m this city, 
a chicken shoot under the auspices of the United Shoe 
Gun Club, of this city, was held this afternoon, when 
thirteen gunners went on the mound. The day was an 
ideal one, and was much enjoyed by the local marks¬ 
men, who made good marks. Following are the scores 
made by the shotgun division: P. L. Osborne 41, F'. H. 
Wheeler 57. R. F. Sibley 60, J. B. Hadaway 49, J. V. 
Morse 57, H. G. Richardson 45, J. K. Browne 36, .-\. T. 
Foster 54, A. C. Spencer 43, S. \\ . Winslow, Jr., 60, 
A I>. Todd, 47, H. H. Eaton 57. 
The chickens were awarded to S. W . Winslow, Jr., 
R. F. Sibley, J. V. Morse, F. H. Wheeler, H. H. Eaton 
and A. T. Foster. 
On the same afternoon the rifle division held a shoot 
which was also largely attended, and much interest was 
manifested in the outcome of the match. The following 
were winners of chickens in the rifle diyision shoot: 
Dr. Flarry E. Sear.s, first; Ernest F'. Whitten second; 
I.ieut. C. G. Perkins third; C. B. Giles fourth; W. T. 
Abbott fifth; J. J. Flynn sixth 
A plan is on foot to make the membership of the 
United States Shoe Gun Club, of this city, the largest 
pun club in Massachusetts. ,\lready there are over 200 
members belonging to the summer capital club, and: 
President A. C. .Spencer is planning to have a campaign 
within the next month to get in new members and get 
the membership up to 500 or even 600 if possible, as 
much interest is being taken in the weekly shoots held, 
in Beverly, and it is thought that it will not be a hard 
job to get new members. 
Speedway Gun Club. 
Xew'ark, N. j., Jan. 21.—To-day's target-wrecking 
squad was very small. B. ^1. Shanley shot five strings 
for 109. L. Page cracked 154 out of 175, Louis Colquitt 
did 132 out of 150, while J. 'I'hompson was the only
