Parker Gun Victories in 1912 
' I 'H E 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.

Pei.ham Manor, N. Y., April 5.—A tail-end crew 
turned ont for to-day’s shoot; nevertheless, some good 
shooting was calendared. J. G. S. Dey was a veritable 
game hog, stuffing his hunting coat with a leg on April 
cup with (3) 25; spring tropliy, same killing; and high 
handicap gun (12), 96. \\’. B. Ogden will bear watch¬ 
ing by the conservator of clays. He clubbed a dent in 
club trophy with a full from a 2 -disc draw, side-swiped 
C. Stein, H. Duden and A. Walker for Travers Island 
cup, each making their full on allotted draws, ran into 
another composite on take-home trophy, the rest of the 
picture being made up of J. Meyer. His final big kill 
was in scratch high gun, which he took with 87 out of 
160. C. Stein filled on his third draw for Travers Island 
cup with (2) 21. Among the new shooters, R. E. Pardee 
showed up well, and shapes up well for a front-ranker 
ne.xt season. The summaries:

Analostkn Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., .April G.—This was opening day 
for Analostan (iun Club. The boys shot under difficul¬ 
ties. The day was cold and raw, with a stiff northwest 
wind. The targets soared like live things, and the scores 
were poor, with the exception of one of our visitors, 
“Mayor” E. E. Reed, of Manchester, N. H., and E. W. 
Ford, the former scoring 88 , using a strange gun, and 
the latter, in the same boat, scored 87—remarkable 
scores considering tlie handicap. Mr. Reed now has the 
honor to represent the First Congressional District of 
his State in the House of Representatives. Before leav¬ 
ing the grounds, he applied for and was admitted to 
membership. The club feels honored in having his name 
on the rolls. Lieut. Thomas Withers, of the Navy, was 
also admitted to membership, and will add lustre to our 
organization. Following are the scores:

Hercules Gun Club. 
Temple, Pa., April 5. —The Hercules Gun Club tar¬ 
get shoot was fairly well attended, considering the ex¬ 
tremely hard gale, thus making shooting exceptionally 
difficult. The scores are very creditable. Lee Wertz and 
E. H. Adams tied on 97 out of 105 for first honors. 
Second honors fell on J. J. Marberger, the light-weight, 
with 92 out of 105. “Good for John.” 
Les German paid his respects to the boys—a jolly, 
good fellow, with several good new fish stories now and 
then. That 15ft. shark must have been a match for 
Les. Bartz shot the program, but will get a new gun 
for our next .shoot. Good for George. Miller shot in 
good form to-day in several events. Hiram, an old- 
timer, shot a good clip, showing the hoys some of his 
early days. 
Kissinger, Yader and Schaeffer are picking up. 
Practice is needed occasionally, which will improve their 
scores. (lalhoun arrived late and scored 46 out of his 65. 
Several of the boys intend to go to Rittersville on 
May 3 to bring the high honors to Reading. Scores:
