Gate City Gun Club. 
North Dakota is doing its “durndest” to turn out 
trapshooters these days, and is meeting with a good 
measure of success. The July 10-11 shoot at Fargo 
turned out forty-six shooters, forty of whom were ama¬ 
teurs, and each did his little bit toward the success of the 
tournament. A. J. French got 290 out of 300, F. F. 
Slocum successfully went after 288, and J. P. White 
tore up 287 for third.

The big Butler shoot, July 26 and 27, is going to be a 
hummer, and the shooters of Western Pennsylvania will 
have the privilege of seeing some well known experts. 
The experts present will try and demonstrate to the 
amateurs how they should be broken. But they will 
have to look well to their laurels or some of these well 
known amateurs may slip one over on them and show 
the professionals that they do not know all about the 
shooting game. The Butler boys are all working hard 
and will show their guests the time of their lives. 
The 12-man team race between New Castle and Butler 
will be a hummer. Come on New Castle and come 
strong—it is a shame to trim you, as you are all such 
nice boys, and we don’t like to be mean to our g\iests, 
but this is a case of have to. 
The shoot between Painter and Atkinson is attracting 
lots of attention, although Atkinson has been under 
the weather with an attack of rheumatism for some 
time, but he expects to be “Johnny-on-the-job.” 
Come on boys and have a good time and see the 
greatest 5-man team race ever held in this part of the 
country. Program or information gladly furnished by 
S. G. Purvis, Secretary.

The Highest Score in the Eastern Handicap 
97 x 100 from 22 yards, made with a 
Winchester 
Repeating Shotgun and Shotgun Shells 
C. G. SPENCER 
DY far the best shooting done at the big Eastern 
Handicap tournament was that of Charles G. 
Spencer, with a Winchester Repeating Shotgun and 
Winchester “Leader” Shells. In the Handicap he 
broke 97 x 100 targets from 22 yards. Such a score 
from such a distance is phenomenal and has set all the 
“gun-bugs” buzzing. Close up to Mr. Spencer in the 
Eastern was Mr. H. E. Buckwalter, an amateur, who 
from 20 yards broke 96 x 100 targets, using a Win¬ 
chester Repeating Shotgun and Winchester “Leader” 
Shells. Mr. Buckwalter, who tied for first place in 
the Eastern, was beaten in the shoot-off by a 19 yard 
man, but his defeat did not detract anything from the 
wonderful score he made at the long mark. Such 
scores as made by Messrs. Spencer and Buckwalter 
are convincing proof of the strong and even shooting 
qualities of Red ^A/ guns and shells. 
THE FIVE HIGHEST AVERAGES were made 
with Red W Goods. Lester S. German, whose 
score, 393 x 400, made with Winchester “Leader” 
Shells, was high over all. C. G. Spencer and J. M. 
Hawkins, shooting Winchester Shotguns and Win¬ 
chester Shells, and Fred Gilbert and W. R. Crosby, 
shooting Winchester “Leader” Shells tied, for second 
average with 387 x 400. 
HAZARD CUP: Fred Gilbert, shooting Winchester “Leader” Shells, defeated Lester S. 
German, scoring 183 x 100 pairs. LONG RUNS: During the tournament, J. M. Hawkins 
and W. R. Crosby, shooting Red W Goods, both made runs of 100 targets straight. 
For Relihility and Results you can

Bay View Gun Club. 
San Franctsco, July 2.—Bay View Gun Club trapshots 
were but three squads strong at the Alameda shooting 
grounds yesterday for the July club shoot. Trout 
streams and outing trips cut down the usual large at¬ 
tendance of powder burners. 
George Morss was high gun with 36 out of 50 birds in 
the Selby trophy contest. In the club medal match 
Ilugher VVobber and H. P. Jacobsen were a tie with 
strings of 21 each out of 25 targets. 
Capt. Jacobsen’s team of five men won the struggle 
for refreshments—the grub shoot—by smashing 73 clay 
pigeons out of a total of 125 shot at. Fox’s string of 20 
was the best score in his squad. Capt. Wobber’s raiders 
connected with but 72 bluerocks, just one bird behind, 
and paid the bill. S. Parker’s score of 21 breaks was the 
high score in the grub argument. 
In a pool shoot at 25 birds, Jacobsen was high gun 
with a score of 22. Webber won the “kicking” prize, a 
group of Rogers statuary. 
A high wind prevailed during the shooting, which 
caused the flight of the targets to. take baffling curves 
and dips.

and pool event in the order
