[Dec. 9, 1911. 
Philadelphia Trapshoofers’ League. 
Victories by the S. S. Whites over the Highlands 
and Meadow Springs’ triumph over Lansdale enabled the 
two victorious clubs to shake their beaten foes from 
the deadlock for first place in the Trapshooters’ League 
race last Saturday. By the Whites and Springs winning 
they are now on an even footing for first place with 6 
points a piece. 
The defeats do Highland and Lansdale dropped these 
two clubs to second place in a tie at 5 points each. In 
the other two matches Clearview beat tfaddonfield and 
succeeded in tying South End for third place. The 
latter club beat Du Pont, shoving the latter down to 
last place in a tie with Haddonfield. 
Although Saturday was not favorable for shooting, 
nevertheless the turnouts to the various grounds broke 
all previous records for the Whites’ victory over High¬ 
land was by the narrowest of margins, but one target 
separating the two clubs at the finish. Clearview nosed 
out Haddonfield by 2 birds after the latter had left the 
grounds, laboring under the impression that the race 
had ended in a tie. Meadow Springs’ superiority over 
Lansdale was by 30 targets, while South End broke 7 
more bluerocks than did the Du Ponts. 
Individually it was a great day for certain gunners, 
but George McCarthy swept the field with his 50 straight. 
This is the third clean score of the season. In the open¬ 
ing match A. R. Richardson, of Du Pont, broke his 
50 rocks, and in the second shoot, Tom Tansey, of the 
Highlands, achieved a similar honor. 
I he race for the championship is a particularly close 
and keen one, and it promises to be fought out to- the 
very last sheet before the winner of the title is assured.

The Du Pont Gun Club. 
While a squad representing the Du Pont Gun Club 
went visiting to Camden, N. J., Saturday afternoon, Dec. 
2, several members remained at home and held a little 
shoot out in the Newbridge traps. Lester S. German, 
of Aberdeen, Md., was a visitor of the day, and shot 
several practice rounds with George L. Lyon for the 
E. C. cup, emblematic of the championship of the world 
at targets, thrown at unknown angles, which will take 
place Dec. 16. German made a fine showing, as did also 
M. W. Mitchell, of Aberdeen, Edward Banks, J. T. 
Skelly and E. A. Everett, of this city. No scores were 
taken. The German-Lyon event will be one of the great 
features of the year. Lyon is present holder of the cup. 
Eugene du Pont defeated E. E. du Pont for the chal¬ 
lenge cup in Class A by a score of 46 to 45. The loser 
was the holder. 
O. V. Urt, the holder of the challenge cup in Class D, 
retained the trophy by defeating H. B. Smith, Jr., 37 to 
34. Fifty targets were thrown in each match.

Panama-Pacific Marksmen. 
San Francisco, Cal.. Nov.’ 23.—A national and inter¬ 
national organization of marksmen, with headquarters in 
San Francisco, will be one of the permanent results of 
the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in this city 
in 1915. The leading shooting societies of San Francisco 
and the bay cities have formed a temporary organization 
which shooting societies of the entire Pacific coast are 
joining for the purpose of holding a national and inter¬ 
national shooting festival in this city during the ex¬ 
position year. Contests for trophies, medals and other 
valuable prizes will be arranged that will attract the at¬ 
tention of marksmen of all the world and bring into com¬ 
petition the famous experts of all nations. 
At a meeting of the organization held last week in 
Mission Turn Hall, which was attended by delegates 
representing the leading clubs of this city and vicinity, 
it was decided to organize permanently under the cor¬ 
porate title of the San Francisco International Shooting 
Festival Association, with a capital of $25,000, toward 
which the clubs affiliated with the organization shall 
contribute $5,000 as working capital, and hold national and 
international contests at intervals of five years or less, 
as occasion may offer. 
From the revenue which may accrue from the festivals 
ever and above expenses of conducting the organization 
and the competitions, the affiliated clubs shall be paid a 
dividend, according to their contributions, the amount to 
be determined later, but to retain at all times sufficient 
capital to insure the permanency of the organization. 
The following clubs ae actively engaged in perfecting the 
organization: California Schuetzen Y 7 erein, San Fran¬ 
cisco Schuetzen Verein, Shell Mound Pistol and Rifle 
Club, Germania Schuetzen Club, Deutscher Krieger 
Who uses Dead Shot? 
AmAtPlirQ 1911: Grand American Handicap 
won by Harvey Dixon, Oronogo, Mo. 
Score, 99 out of 100, from 20 yards. Powder, Dead Shot. 
Professionals ■ Se " son ’, s . Hig £ A i en | ge ’ 
won by Mr. John R. Taylor. 
Score, 2038 out of 2100. Powder, Dead Shot. 
Why do winners use Dead Shot? 
It meant $ 1,060 in cash to Mr. Harvey Dixon, besides 
the Interstate trophy, to win the Grand American Handi¬ 
cap. To win he had to select his powder with utmost 
thought and care. Isn’t this substantial evidence that 
DEAD SHOT ” is the powder for amateurs as well as 
professionals to use? 
For professional shooters the winning of the “Season’s 
High Average’’ is the crowning achievement. hour 
years out of five, professionals using “DEAD SHOT’’ 
have won this coveted honor. Is it any wonder that 
professionals prefer “Dead Shot?” 
You, too, will prefer Dead Shot if you will try it—com¬ 
pare its patterns and its penetration with that of any 
other powder. Once acquainted with Dead Shot you 
will always prefer it. 
All dealers carry Dead Shot loads in stock. We guar¬ 
antee the stability of Dead Shot.

Alabama Won. 
New Orleans, Dec. 2.—Alabama won with a score of 
1S36 points in the Southern Interstate Rifle Association 
shoot, held here during the week. Mississippi came 
second with 1657, and Louisiana third and last, with 
1646 points. At a meeting held by the Association it was 
decided to admit Georgia, Tennessee and Florida to 
membership. Several other States wanted to come in, 
but the members thought the Association would be too 
large for any of the ranges in the South. The weather 
was bitterly cold, and the scores were not quite as good 
as usual. A banquet was held here at the close of the 
contest in one of the large hotels. F. G. G.

The annual Indoor League contests of the United 
States Revolver Association are to start the week ending 
Dec. 9. Twenty-four clubs affiliated with the Association 
have entered teams. The series will continue until every 
team has shot one match with each of its opponents.

as they are shot, they are forwarded to the secretary- 
treasurer, J. B. Crabtree, of Springfield, to insure uni¬ 
form scoring'.
