12 y 16 and 20 Gauge 
Hammerless Repeating Shotguns 
On account of its strength, light weight and balance, the ease and 
certainty of its operation, the beauty of its lines and finish, 
and the mechanical correctness of its design, the Winchester 
Model 1912 shotgun has been pronounced by critical experts 
“The Most Perfect Repeater.” The barrel, receiver and all the 
metal working parts, except the springs, are made of Nickel 
steel, which has twice the strength of the steel generally used 
in other makes of similar guns. Nickel steel construction 
means not only a lighter and stronger gun, but a better balanced 
one, because it permits a better distribution of weight. For that 
reason, the Winchester Model 1912 “feels” better and “comes 
up” better than other makes of repeaters. This gun has a cross¬ 
bolt trigger lock, a smooth, quick and easy action and a simple 
take-down system. It loads and unloads easily, and its shoot¬ 
ing qualities are not excelled by the highest priced double 
guns. If in the market for a shotgun, an examination of the 
Winchester Model 1912 will convince you that it is rightly 
called “The Most Perfect Repeater.” 
;WINCHESTER Loaded Shells: In a Winchester or 
any make of shotgun, use Winchester 
Loaded Shells, “Leader” or “ Repeater.” 
In any gun of any gauge they give 
the best possible results.

Westy Hogan Tournament. 
One hundred and forty-three thousand targets ’trapped 
the week tells the story of the most successful 
trapshooting tournament ever held by the Westv 
Hogans and, in many respects, the most satisfactory 
tournament ever conducted anywhere, from the view¬ 
point of both the Hogans and the 250 odd shooters who 
participated. It was a triumph for the Hogans and to¬ 
day there is no more popular trapshooting organiza¬ 
tion under the sun. There was not a flaw in the ar¬ 
rangements and if there was one dissatisfied shooter he 
failed to make the fact known. The program, one of 
the best ever constructed, was endorsed by every con¬ 
testant and drew from them many favorable comments. 
What was perhaps the most noticeable feature of the 
tournament was the extraordinary weather which pre¬ 
vailed throughout the week. The temperature was ideal 
for trapshooting and with the exception of a squall of 
about an hour’s duration early Saturday morning the 
wind was all gentle zephyrs. With a perfect skyline and 
background and the five traps working with clock-like 
precision at all times, the result was many good scores. 
Long runs by both professionals and amateurs were 
common and not a few former records were shattered. 
The shoot was managed entirely by the Hogans, with 
the incomparable Luther J. Squier, chairman of the 
tournament Committee, as director-general. Lloyd R. 
Lewis ably filled the important position of cashier. 
Leonard J. Clark compiled the scores to the satisfaction 
of everyone. He was ably assisted by H. L. Worthing¬ 
ton. Other Hogans rendered valuable assistance in the 
office. Charles A. North, of course, was in charge of 
the traps, but inasmuch as they required little attention, 
he devoted the greater part of his time to keeping the 
shoot moving smoothly along. President Neaf Apgar 
was busy every minute during the week directing the 
outside work besides looking after many details. Jack 
Randolph, of Atlantic City, again had charge of the 
outside help—pullers, trappers, scorers, referees, squad 
hustlers, etc. Randolph is a valuable man and the 
Hogans know it. He has filled the position with credit 
at every other Hogan Tournament. 
The Westy Hogan Bulletin Board, famous for its neat¬ 
ness and the vast amount of information it conveys was, 
as usual, in charge of the affable and obliging George 
Benjamin. George possesses the happy faculty of being 
able to answer questions in rapid fire time and he has 
a way of doing it that makes him a friend every minute. 
The trophies presented by the Hogans and several of 
their friends were admittedly the finest ever awarded 
at a trapshooting tournament. There were participants 
at the Hogan shoot from every part of the country, in¬ 
cluding the Pacific coast and they were a unit in de¬ 
claring the trophies the most beautiful, appropriate and 
valuable they had ever seen. One of these, the Bull 
Durham trophy, presented by Mr. George L. Lyon, of 
Durham, N. C., an honorary member of the Westy 
Hogans, was a magnificent silver loving cup of unusual 
size and beautifully engraved. The George E. Painter 
trophy, a solid silver tea set, was another trophy that 
attracted much attention. Other handsome and valuable 
trophies were the Continental Hotel trophy, a sterling 
silver set of knives, forks and spoons, donated by the 
Continental Hotel, Atlantic City, N. J., three diamond 
watch fobs donated by the Alamac Hotel, Atlantic City, 
the Hass trophy, a set of pearl handled revolvers, 
donated by Mr. E. L. Hass, of New York City, the E. 
N. Gillespie trophy, donated by Mr. E. N. Gillespie, of 
Freeport, Pa., the Sousa trophy, donated by John Philip 
Sousa, the celebrated bandmaster. The Sousa trophy
