Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League. 
Philadelphia, April 3. —The final shoot of the Phila¬ 
delphia, 1908-9 series was held on April 3. The S. S. 
White Gun Club was victorious, scoring 15 points to 12 
for the Highlands, 11 for the South Ends, 9 for Meadow 
Springs, 7 for Chester-Ridley and 6 for the Florists. 
The S. S. Whites competed' against the Highlands at 
Holmesburg Junction. There were only a few of the 
Florist Gun Club members present, and they declined to 
shoot, hence the Florist team was credited with half 
scores as absentees, a total of 250. Wolstencroft and 
Cantrell made high individual scores, 45 each.

On the grounds at Camden, three teams contested, 
namely, the South End, Meadow Springs, and Chester- 
Ridley Park gun clubs, making a late start on account of 
the dark light consequent to a heavily overcast sky and 
the bad weather. A downpour of rain was a hampering 
incident. The late comers had the advantage of better 
light and weather. 
The South End Gun Club donated four silver cups to 
the members breaking the greatest number of targets in 
League matches. The first prize was captured' by Wil¬ 
liam Hineline, with 244; second, Williarn Pechmann, 239; 
Horace Greene, 235, and J. Biddle 233. The scores follow:

Analostan 
Gun Club. 
The Analostan Gun Club, of Washington, D. C., 
opened the 1909 season Saturday afternoon, April 3. Con¬ 
tests will be held on Saturday afternoons until Oct. 31. 
Conditions were against good shooting. A high wind 
from the north interfered with the flight of the targets, 
causing them to jump and duck, much to the disgust of 
the marksmen. 
The star in the medal contest was Dr. B. L. Taylor, 
who scored 18 out of 20. Medal contests this year will be 
at 20 targets. Membership will be divided into four 
classes. Each member to be eligible for prizes will be 
req^uired to participate in ten shoots. 
The scores follow: Dr. B. L. Taylor; 18, Miles Tavlor 
17, C. B. Wise 16, M. D. Hogan 15, Dr. W. C. Barr 15, 
C. S. Wilson 15, H. B. Willson 12, J. H. Hunter 12, Dr.

Frank H. Butler, the able representative of the U. M. 
C. Co., spent the afternoon with us. The boys are always 
ready to welcome Frank, as he is always ready to impart 
valuable information to the youngsters and give fatherly 
advice to the older heads.

Repeating Shotguns 
Used by over 4 50,000 Sportsmen. 
Endorsed by the U. S. Ordnance Board. 
VER four hundred and fifty 
thousand sportsmen use and 
- endorse Winchester Repeating 
Shotguns. The U. S. Ordnance 
Board, after subjecting one of these 
guns to the severest of tests for 
strength, reliability, accuracy, pene¬ 
tration, endurance, excessive loads, 
defective shells, rust and dust, re¬ 
ported officially that: “ The result of 
the severe tests to which the gun 
was subjected showed that every 
part was strong and serviceable. 
The Board finds that the gun pos¬ 
sesses the advantages claimed by the 
manufacturers.” 
“ The sliding forearm movement insures the ease of 
manipulation from the shoulder, and the gun can be loaded, 
unloaded, or fired with safety and sufficient rapidity. It is 
accurate^ gives good penetration, especially with the cart¬ 
ridge containing heavier buckshot, and has little recoil. 
The working parts are few in number, and are simple, 
strong, and well made ; and the board is of the opinion 
that the arm is especially well adapted to the purpose for 
which it is intended. The Board has, therefore, no sugges¬ 
tions nor recommendations to suggest in the way of improv¬ 
ing the gun for the use of sentinels in the military service.” 
When the Experts Comprising the U- S. Ordnance Board cannot suggest any 
improvement in a gun, it means that it is as near perfect as a gun can be made. 
THE REPEATER THAT OUTSHOOTS ALL OTHERS.

Charles G. Spencer outshot the world in 1908, mak¬ 
ing the unprecedented record of 96.77% for 11,175 
targets. He used a $27.00 grade Winchester Re¬ 
peating Shotgun—the kind any sportsman can buy 
anywhere. You don’t need a “special” gun to shoot 
well, if you shoot a Winchester. Remember this 
when in the market for a shotgun and buy a Win¬ 
chester, the Perfect Repeater, endorsed by sports¬ 
men and Government experts; the gun that hung 
up the highest season’s average ever recorded.

Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., April 3. —Some twenty-two shooters 
were out to-day, getting in a little practice preparatory 
to the tournament on the 7th. Some very good work was 
done, notably by Messrs. Piercy, Henderson, Van Allen, 
Guenther, R. Jacobus, Dukes, and Colquitt. Although 
the weather was very unpleasant, two sets of traps were 
kept busy till darkness set in.
