PETERS SHELLS FIRST 
IN SOUTHERN HANDICAP 
Peters Ammunition is justly famed for the old 'RECO'R'DS it has broken, and the new 'RE CO "It'D S' 
it has established. In Rifle, Revolver and Shotgun Shooting PETERS goods have time and again distanced all 
previous scores, and the 1910 Southern Handicap at Columbus, Ga., May 3-5, is the latest instance. In the big Handicap 
Race, Mr. H. D. Freeman, shooting PETERS FACTORY LOADED PREMIER. SHELLS* made 
the wonderful—in fact sensational—score of 
99 OUT OF 100 FROM 21 YDS. 
No such 21-yard score has ever before been made, and it is given especial importance because it was made in 
one of the big trap shooting events of the year, in u fast company’ and under regulation conditions. All credit to 
Mr. Freeman and to his ammunition. Such a score could only be made with loads having hiqh 'Veloctty 
(without excessive recoil) quicK. ignition and perfect pattern.

him second average with 521 scored, and Geo. L. Lyon 
scored 169 with a grand total of 519 and third average. 
German had a straight run of something over 170 the 
first two days and Lyon had a run of 172, made in 
practice day events, and the first regular day’s pro¬ 
gram. Harry Welles made the highest score made on 
any one day, he getting 195 out of 200 on the second 
day. 
The merchandise race on the third day was won by 
Geo. E. Painter, with Charley Mink second, the scores 
being 59 and 57. Schlicher made 58 in the events which 
were computed for the merchandise prizes, but did not 
enter for the prizes. 
Event No. 5, which was for the Senator McNichol 
trophy, brought out a tie on a straight score between 
Harry Buckwalter and E. H. Adams, of Reading, and 
in a shoot-off the latter won by a score of 23 to 22. 
The event at mixed singles and doubles brought out 
a tie between Harry Kahler and W. B. Severn, and 
after again tying on 23 each, Kahler won out by the 
score of 24 to 20. Kahler got the Wolstencroft punch 
bowl for his win. > 
The four-man team trophy, known as the Reading 
trophy, was tied for by the Highland Gun Club team 
No. 1, composed of Newcomb, Landis, Tansey and Mc¬ 
Carty, and team No. 2, composed of Mink, W. Wolsten¬ 
croft, H. Kahler and Griffith, on a score of 92, Landis 
alone making a straight in the event. 
The final regular event of the day and tournament, for 
the Wolstencroft State championship at 25 pairs, was 
won by Jebb with a score of 42, and second prize was 
tied for by Severn, Mink, W. Wolstencroft and H. P. 
Herman, and in the shoot-off Herman was the winner. 
Jebb got the Wolstencroft trophy and the first City 
Hall trophy, while Herman received the second City 
Hall trophy. 
After going the, gamut of several miss-and-out strings, 
the maximum total of each being 10, John A. McKean, 
who was competing in a tournament for the first time, 
though he is quite well along in years, finally shot out 
one of the youngest of the shooters in the person of 
E. W. Kelly and won the Lefever gun in one of the 
extra events. When it is known that he shot out 
Kelsey, Herman, Mink, Wolstencroft, Lockwood, May¬ 
berry, Kelly' and several others in a miss-and-out, it is 
apparent that he deferred his advent into the game all 
too long, and he has missed much good sport. McKean, 
w'ho is quite tall, w r as long on winning guns, as he also 
won one in the merchandise event. 
H. P. Herman won the Fox gun in the special event 
at 10 pairs, Vie being the only man to break them all. 
Herman certainly shone in the double events through¬ 
out.

Philadelphia Scrapple. 
There was quite a bevy of ladies in the observatory of 
the club house on the afternoon of the closing day. 
Charley Mink was very disconsolate, as he had the bad 
habit of being second in about everything that was on 
the carpet. He w'as second for the State championship, 
second in general average, wdnning the Hanover Hotel 
cup, second in the doubles and second in the general 
merchandise race. He won the bronze county champion¬ 
ship medal through McCarty forfeiting to him, but won 
the S. S. White Gun Club trophy. Charley also won 
tw'o guns in the shoot. His money winnings totaled 
well up tow'ard $150. 
Schlicher was just a little slicker shot than some of 
the other boys, and he was pretty well paid for his 
week’s work, as he got his full share of the emoluments. 
The purses throughout were fair, but it was interest¬ 
ing to see the high man in Class C pull down $42, while 
the high man in Class A got about $20. Of course, there 
were more entries in Class C, and the proportion of 
added money was greater. 
H. P. Perry was missed, and when it was learned that 
one of his plants had burned out early in the week, the 
reason was quite apparent. 
Harry Kahler certainly made a grand shot in the
