BAG HIGH HONORS AT COLUMBUS 
Red W Goods Win the National Amateur Championship, The Preliminary Handicap, High Ama¬ 
teur And High Professional Averages For 16 Yard Targets, High Amateur Average For All 
Single and Double Targets, and High Amateur Score In Double Target Championship. 
N O one maker of guns or shells scored a thirty-three degree triumph at the Grand American Handicap tournament 
as the winnings were pretty well divided up, but no gun or shells made as good a showing as the time-tried Win¬ 
chester brand. Winchester shotguns and shotgun shells, as usual, won the major share of the honors. The re¬ 
liability and the uniform shooting qualities of Red \/\/ goods were again conclusively proven by the wonderful score of 
Mr. Eaton of 1 19 x 120 from 18 yards in the Preliminary; Mr. Collins’ score of 196 x 200 in the Amateur Champion¬ 
ship; Messrs. Spencer’s and Crosby’s scores of 96 x 100 from 22 yards in the Grand American Handicap; Messrs. 
Gates’ and Heil s scores of 88 x 100 in the Double Bird Championship; Mr. Gates’ win of High Amateur Average for 
all Single and Double Targets, and Messrs. Livingston’s and Hawkins’ scores of 100 straight on the first day. The 
most important of the Winchester winnings follow in detail:
