and the practice certainly helps some. Los Angeles has 
never had a man higher than fourth place in these 
championship matches, but judging by the determination 
of certain members in practicing on these targets—but 
then, you never can tell. 
In the ten-man team match with the Golden Gate Club, 
of San Francisco on June 25, the Los Angeles Revolver 
Club was nosed out by a small margin. So close were 
the totals that J. B. Crabtree, the secretary of the U. S. 
R. A., was called upon to decide the winner. This de¬ 
cision has just been received. 
This is the first match for ten men at 50yds. that Los 
Angeles has lost, but the Golden Gates are hard nuts to 
crack, and we gave them a scare anyhow. We hope to 
give them a chance to wallop us again, only please make 
it more decisive next time, brother Golden Gates. This 
almost, but not quite business is hard on our nerves. 
The conditions were ten men to each team, five to 
shoot revolver and five pistol. Each man to shoot 50 
shots at 50yds. on the Standard American target under 
rules for Matches A and B of the U. S. R. A. The 
scores for the match follow:

Adrian Rifle Club. 
On July 22, the sharpshooters’ squad of the Adrian 
Rifle Club went to Detroit to shoot for the expert quali¬ 
fication on the Michigan State rifle range, as previously 
arranged by courtesy of Lieut. Parker, of the cavalry. 
This range has the reputation of showing the worst 
mirage in the whole country, and it certainly came up 
to its reputation on July 22, when it was impossible to 
read the numbers on the butts at 1000 yards with a 30- 
power glass. Consequently no high scores were made 
that day; but the following day conditions improved. 
July 23, was cloudy and with a steady 2-point wind at 
lOOOyds the Adrian squad had no trouble in making 
good. Following are the scores:

The State team is working out on this range, pre¬ 
paratory to entering the contest at Camp Perry this 
month, and the Adrian Club is under many obligations 
to them for their hospitality and valuable assistance on 
the range. It is believed that Michigan will make a 
very creditable showing at Camp Perry this year, as the 
team is going very strong. Jessby.

Phenomenal Shooting with 
THE PARKER GUN 
At the Grand American Handicap, Columbus, Ohio, June 23, 1911, Mr. Lester German, of Aber¬ 
deen Md., won the Professional Championship from the 18 yd. mark, with the remarkable score of 
198 out of 200 targets, defeating the best shooters in the country. Ever since the inauguration of 
this high class event, it has been won by THE OLD RELIABLE PARKER, and is conceded 
to be the severest test of man and gun. It also emphasizes the fact that THE PARKER GUN 
is the strongest shooting, and makes the most even pattern of any gun made The Professional 
Championship is a scratch event, all shooters standing on the 18 yd. mark. 
Mr. German the same day, again demonstrated the value of THE PARKER GUN in competi¬ 
tion, by defeating a large field of the best shooters in the country in the Championship event at 
DOUBLE Targets, breaking 89 out of 100, from the 16 yd. mark. 
In the Preliminary Handicap, Mr. C. B. Eaton, an amateur of Fayette, Mo., shooting THE 
PARKER. GUN made the phenomenal score of 99 out of 100 targets, and tied with Mr. Buck- 
waiter. In the shoot-off, Mr. Eaton defeated his opponent with a straight run of 20, thus winning 
the event. 
This remarkable shooting is only one of many reasons why you should shoot THE PARKER GUN.
