Parker Gun Victories in 1912 
' I 'HE highest official average for the season of 1912 at both Single 
and Double Targets was made with Parker Guns. 
As on every previous occasion, the bona fide Championship of 
America was won with a Parker Gun, Mr. W. R. Crosby scoring 
198 X 200 targets at 18 yards rise. Same man, same gun, made the World’s 
Record, scoring 98 x 100 targets at 23 yards, which is a truly wonderful 
performance. 
Small bore Parker Guns are recognized as the Standard Game Guns of America 
and are gaining in popularity every season with the most progressive sportsmen.

Westwood (Ohio) Gun Club. 
Westwood, Ohio, March 15.—At the shoot to-day 
the club entertained John R. Taylor, of Columbus, O.; 
T.. J. Squier, of Pittsburgh, and B. S. Williams, of 
-Nashville, Tenn. A strong cold wind made the con¬ 
ditions extremely hard, ami Taylor was the only one 
w_hose score was not atfected. He was high man with 
95 out of lOO, which included a run of 55 straight. Squicr, 
w'ho preceded him in the squad, made the first 25 straight 
which has been recorded on these grounds since the 
opening shoot. Taylor duplicated this in the same 
event, and established a ground record by breaking all 
in the next event. B. .S. Williams was not doing his 
nest work, partly due to a strange gun, and partly to 
the w'ind. Bohnert also shot with a Borrowed gun, and 
his score sutfered. Kuball is learning to shoot right- 
handed, which accounts for his fall-dc-wn, for not even 
the wind could have made him drop so many as he did 
to-day, if he had put his gun to his left shoulder. Ur. 
Blunden did very creditable work tor a new man at 
the traps under the hard conditions. Schneider began 
to get the right dope on the targets just as the shoot¬ 
ing came to an end, and another event would have 
brought him well up toward the top. Max Stopper did 
not do so well as usual, owing to the wind. The club 
will put a Stevens trophy in competition very soon, and 
with two trophies to shoot for, the members will lose 
none c£ their enthusiasm.

Shooting Committee. 
New Du Pont Tropby. 
Trapshooters will be interested in the latest offer 
made to high average winners at clay target tourna¬ 
ments by the Du Pont Powder Company. 
From April 1 handsome solid gold scarf pins will 
be given to amateur and professional trapshooters who 
win high averages at any advertised program shoot 
registered or unregistered, when the contestant uses any 
one of their brands of smokeless shotgun powder, either 
Du Pont, Ballistite, Schultze or Empire, in making the 
win. 
If the tournament is of more than one day’s dura¬ 
tion, it is understood that the pin will be given to 
the high average winner for the entire tournament. 
The supply of the pins is limited and only one will 
be given, to a shooter no matter how many averages 
may be won by him during the year. 
The pins represent a full modeled quail and are 
exceedingly attractive. They are sent out packed in 
neat leather cases which makes the gift complete and 
a prize well worth winning.
