“Steel where steel belongs” Superiority 
is being demonstrated day after day at tournaments large and small, in every 
section of the United States. Peters Shells are the only ones having 
steel of proper kind in the head and rim, and the only ones in which the 
correct method of construction is used. Their unequalled shooting quality 
contributed to the following victories at the traps:

Twelfth Alabama State Tournament. 
The twelfth annual State tournament, held at Birm¬ 
ingham, Aug. 6 and 7, was a great success. A large 
crowd of shooters from Alabama and adjoining States 
was on hand tO' enjoy an attractive program and the 
genuine Southern hospitality extended to them by the 
officers and members of the local club. 
Ideal weather conditions favored the shooters all 
three days. 
Secretary O. L. Garl had worked hard and long to 
make this shoot the best in the history of the club, and 
from the complimentary expressions heard, he succeeded 
beyond his expectations. 
Three perfectly working traps, a well drilled force 
of trappers, pullers, scorers, referees and squad hustlers, 
backed up by that prince of cashiers, Al. Gehegan, and 
hts assistant William Fox, all combined to make the 
tournament run smoothly. In addition to these, the little 
comforts of the shooter were arranged, such as larger 
shelter tents with plenty of comfortable chairs, with 
large barrel of ice-water in each tent, gun racks and 
stands conveniently placed, and a system of publicity 
for the scores never before excelled. It is such com¬ 
forts and conveniences as these—little things though they 
be—which go to make the shooter enjoy a tournament, 
and the best inducement in the world for him to attend 
the next one. 
Monday, Aug. 5, was practice day, and 32'shooters 
were on hand. The program consisted of five events of 
20 targets each, a total of 100 single targets, and an extra 
event of 25 pairs. Highest scores this day were made by 
FI. D. Freeman and H. D. Gibbs, who broke 99 out of 
the 100; Walter Huff broke 98, R. R. Holt and Guy 
Ward 97. Of the amateurs, J. R. Livingston broke 96, 
with J. K. Warren second with 94. 
In the double-target event, Huff broke 46, Freeman 
45 for the professionals, while J. K. Waren and Gentry 
Hillman were high amateurs with 41 each.

Wednesday, Second Day. 
The same perfect conditions which marked the first 
day repeated themselves on the second and last day. 
and in consequence the entire program of 250 targets 
was shot, trophies presented, and all winners paid _ off 
before five o’clock, which spoke volumes for the efficient 
management in both field and office. 
Mr. W. T. Laslie, of Tuskegee, Ala., won the 
State championship event at 100 single targets with the 
record-breaking score of 99, this being Mr. Laslie’s tlurd 
consecutive win of this honor, and he also has the d s- 
tinction of making the highest score, not only of a 1 
State championship contests in Alabama, but his sc re 
of yesterday was the highest score of all championship 
events in all States in the Union so far this year. 
Mr. Laslie also won the handsome silver trophy 
donated by the Herzog-Thompson Jewelry Company for 
the highest score on the 500 targets of the ent re pro¬ 
gram, he breaking 481. 
J. K. Warren, of Birmingham, had the next highest 
score in the State championship with 96 and was also 
second high on all targets, he breaking 477 out of 5 0. 
Vassar Cates, of Brunswick, Ga., third, with 476. 
In the regular registered program of 150 targets 
each day, a total of 300 for the tournament, Mr. Warren 
won high amateur average with the score of 288, Cat s 
being second with 286, with Laslie third with 285. J hn 
Livingston had 281 and D. A. Edwards 282. 
Forty-two shooters shot through the regular reg’s- 
tered program for the two days, and after all who bad 
failed to win their entrance, less price of targets, lad 
been paid their losses, there remained over $200, which
