grown so bad by the time the shooting was started that 
he did not take part in any of the events and soon left. 
Fred Gilbert and the balance of his squad seemed to 
have the luck of being at the score whenever the weather 
was just a little bit worse than usual, but they always 
stuck it out ^nd finished up the event. 
Jack Smith did his best work in one of the heavy 
snow squalls, breaking 20 straight. He seems to like 
such weather, and stood it better than many of the 
younger ones. The longest runs of the tournament were 
made to-day, Gilbert recording two, one of 51 in the 
first three events, and another of 63. Squier was second 
with a run of 41. 
High professional score was made by Gilbert, 192; 
L. J. Squier, 182; R. O. Fleikes, 180. 
Tryon captured high amateur honors for the day on 
180; H. E. Smith a close second with 179; -Burns, 175; 
Flick, 173; Cain, 171. 
For the twoi days Gilbert was high professional with 
385 out of 400; R. Heikes, 370; F. Bills. 163. The five 
average moneys were won by Tryon, 357; H. E. Smith, 
355; E. W. Rugg and G. Buchanan, 347 each; F. D. 
Telling, 340. 
The special event at 25 targets, for four merchandise 
prizes, had twenty-four entries, and was shot over trap 
No. 2, being finished at 5 o’clock. The prizes were won 
by Webster and H. E. Smith, 25 each; Telling and Cain, 
24 each. The other special event was cut out on account 
of lack of time. 
In everything but the weather the tournament was a 
success, and that was a detail beyond the control of the 
manager, otherwise it would have been about right, as 
were other arrangements for the shoot. In the last event 
of the day squad No. 1, consisting of Bills, Heikes, Le 
Noir and Tryon, broke straight, this when the conditions 
were about the hardest of the day. The scores:

The Highest Score At The MetropoliteLiv Championship 
Shoot Made With 
WINCHESTER 
Loaded Shotgun Shells—The 96.77^ Kind 
Lester German, shooting Win¬ 
chester Factory Loaded shells, 
out-shot the field of 177 entries at 
the big shoot held in Montclair, 
N. J., April 7, and made the splen¬ 
did score of 97 out of 100 targets. 
Such a score tells its own story of 
skill and uniform, even-shooting 
shells. 
Of the Amateurs, W. J. Sortor, 
shooting Winchester Shells, was 
second with 92 breaks, and W. A. 
Kennedy, shooting Winchester 
Factory Loaded Shells and a Winchester Repeating Shot¬ 
gun, was third. 
Winchester Factory Loaded Shells and Winchester Repeat¬ 
ing Shotguns, the Red W Combination, usually win the 
lion’s share of the money and honors. In 1908 Charles 
G. Spencer out-shot the world with them, his record being 
96.77 per cent, for 11,175 shots. If you have been handi¬ 
capped by gun or shells, try the Red W Combination and 
vou’ll see the difference.
