This is the percentage with which Mr. J. S. Day won the 1910 OFFICIAL HIGH AMATEUR AVERAGE— a percentage never 
equalled by an amateur and exceeding by exactly 1^ the figures of the 1911 winner, who,! moreover, shot at only 2100 targets. 
Mr. Day’s Wonderful 
Shooting was 
done with 
FACTORY LOADED 
SHELLS 
The Lion s Share of the 1911 Amateur Honors was also won with peters Shells, for they were used either 
H- U ^IlldlCUl liuiiurs exclusivelyorforthemostof their shooting by 5 out of the 10 
Migh Amateurs, this is not all. The 1911 Grand American Handicap, the greatest event in the Trap-Shooting world, was won by 
Mr. Harvey Dixon, who scored 99 out of 100 from the 20-yard mark. This score has never been equalled and is a World’s Record. 
Mr. Dixon used PETERS SHE I LS the kind with “STEEL WHERE STEEL BELONGS.” 
Particular attention is directed to the fact that all of the shooting of Messrs. Day and Dixon was done with Peters Regular Factory 
Loads. And remember this—you can use PETERS Shells in any good gun. They require no special make of gun to give best results.

Philadelphia Trapshooters* League. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 3. —By winning from Meadow 
oprings yesterday, the S. S. Whites shook their nearest 
competitor for the Trapshooters* League lead, and now 
nave a clear lead of 2 points for the blueribbon target 
event of the East. This victory over the West Phila- 
delphians has now given the Dentists such an advantage 
that if any of the four clubs which are now tie away for 
second place are going to beat out the Holmesburg 
Junction crowd^ they will have to keep them from 2- 
remaining two shoots. At that, 
should the Whites lose both of the next two shoots 
and any of the four clubs tie for second win, the next 
two, the race will end up in a tie. At the best, the 
Whites^ cannot be beaten out unless they meet their 
^Mch m a shoot-off after the regular season ends. 
The defeat to Meadow vSprings and Lansdale at South 
End, with victories by Highland and the Camden gun- 
enamed the latter team to creep up to a tie with 
Meadow Springs and Lansdale for second place. These 
L ^xiri • ^ remaining chances to tie up 
the Whites, but at least two of th$m are sure to drop 
out of the running in the March shoot. 
Although the weather yesterday was fat: from being 
favorable to the gunners for good scores, nevertheless 
the totals ri^de by most of the clubs were exception¬ 
ally high. The Du^Ponts, of Wilmington, who came 
up to town with a big part of the Delaware population, 
ran up the highest team score of the day, breaking 449 
out of 500 targets, a remarkable performance. The 
Meadow Spniigs had to break 446 to 
while south Hnds’ close victory over Lansdale was 
^ former breaking 404 to their opponents’ 
41K. this match proved to be the most hotly con- 
testeci of the day. Highland won the easiest match of 
all, they beating Haddonfield by 393 to 325. Clearview 
made 420 against the Du Fonts. The points scored

Highland—Haddonfield. 
..Edge Hilt,. Pa., Feb. 3.—Better scores, made under 
crmditions, enabled the Highlands to defeat 
Haddonfield to-day in the League match here bv a 
score of 393 to 325. Twenty-eight Edge Hill men fired 
at their half hundred bluerocks, while eleven brave gun- 
ners from Haddonfield made the trip up the North Penn 
Considering the unfavorable conditions, the Highland¬ 
ers score of 393 for a team total was good. They had 
four^ of their ten men get 40 or better, 't'orn Tansey 
leading the way with 43 smashes. 
Haddonfield had but one gunner to get past the 40 
mark. This was Beideman, who not only led the South 
Jer.scymcn with a score of 45, but incidentally led the 
entire field for the day’s sport. Scores:

There was as much glory for vanquished as victor in 
the League shoot over the South Camden traps yester¬ 
day, and though the South End Club won from Lansdale 
by the score of 404 to 402 targets, the match was not 
decided until the last squad had faced the traps. From 
the start the two clubs ran neck-and-neck, and only one 
or two targets separated them right down the line until 
Johnson, Bright and Lamborn went out to shoot. The 
first named dampened the hopes of the South End rooters 
at the start by getting only 16, and Lansdale’s stock went 
soaring when IJright broke 18 and Lamborn 21 on their 
first trap, considered the harder of the two. On the 
second trap, however, all three went to the bad, and 
Lamborn, who had a golden chance to pull Lansdale 
through, fell down, breaking only 16. While, as a rule, 
the stars of their respective teams shot close to form, it 
was the second string shooters who swung the victory 
Hineline and C. Swartz divided the high gun honors 
with 46 each. Frank Bender got 43, when, as a matter 
of fact, he lost a bird by an error of the scorer; Slear 
and Rodgers each 44. These were to have been ex¬ 
pected, but it was the ability of the shooters below 40 
which decided in favor of South End, as of their foui 
30s figuring in the victory, they totaled higher than did 
the same number for Lansdale. Scores:

DuPont—Clearview. 
Darby, Pa., Feb. 3. —The Du Pont Gun Club, repre- 
sented by thirty-eight of its unlimited stock of expert 
marksmen, walloped Clearview Gun Club, of Darby, Pa., 
at the liter’s traps in the fifth match race in the series 
of the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ League by the score 
of 449 to 420, to-day. 
It is hardly possible to imagine what the local gun¬ 
ners would have done under ordinary conditions, as 
every one was in gilt-edge form, and breaking the birds 
m one-two-three order, and four others had shot inside 
the qualification limit. 
Smith, Colfax and Richardson made a perfect run of 
their first 25 targets. 
The local club by its victory retains its lead, if not 
advancing a point, in the League standing. 
J. T. Robinson still leads the League in the point 
of targets broken.

Meadow Springs—S. S. White. 
Although Meadow Springs threw in fortjr-seven of 
their best shots in an effort to check the winning streak 
of Whites, the West Philadelphians finished on the 
short end of the League match shot yesterday at Fifty- 
seventh and Lancaster avenue, the score being 446 to 
437. With a chance to tie up the dentists for the League 
lead, the interest in this shoot aroused more attention
