The Sunny South Handicap. 
Brenham, Texas.—Herewith are the scores of the 
Sunny South Handicap, held here Jan. 27 to reb. 1. 
1 'he attendance was much smaller than usual, which was 
probably due to the financial stringency, though many 
shooters who promised to attend never showed up. 
However, the Brenham people have vied with each 
other in seeing that the time the boys were not shoot¬ 
ing was enjoyed, and they all seemed to have a. pleasant 
visit. The Sunny South Handicap at 25 live birds, was 
won by Mr. Fred King, of Denver, Colo., on a score 
of 25 straight. W. H. McCreery, of Loveland^ Colo., 
was second with 24. George Tucker and Alf Gardiner 
third with 23. Hood Waters and L. 1. Wade fourth 
\vith 22. The scores and handicaps of the Sunny South 
Handicap at 100 targets were: McCreery (20yds.) 88 , 
Barkley (22) 89, Maxwell (22) 89, King (20) 88 , Poston 
(21) 90, McCrea (IS) 86 , Sens (19) 90, Jones (19) 89, 
White (17) 90, Atchison (19) 80, Lednurn (16) 79, Faurote 
(21) 89, '1 ucker (19) 87, Fosgard (21) 88 , V\ ade (22) 85, 
Waters (17) 90, Gardiner (18) 87, Jackson (20) 84, Sher¬ 
man (19) 86 . In the shoot-off for the trophy between 
Sens, White and Poston, Sens won. Mr. Hood Waters 
scored 90, but was only shooting for targets. 
The Houston.Chronicle event, 100 targets, which trophy 
was held by Mr. Otto Sens, of Houston, was won by 
Mr. Ed. Fosgard, of Waco, on a score of 92; Mr. E. L. 
Jones, of Brady, Texas, being second on a score of 91; 
Mr. Otto Sens of Houston, being third on a score of 
90. Mr. Geo. Maxwell, of the U. M. C. Co., was high 
in this event with a score of 97, but he was not eligible. 
Dickey Bird and McCrea traps were used, and the 
trapping of the targets was the best ever seen here. 
The traps were in charge of Messrs. H. E. Sherman, of 
Kansas City, and A. M. McCrea, of Lamar, Mo. 
W. E. Scott, of Houston, now representing the 
Winchester Repeating Arms Co., was at the shoot, and 
the Leys were all glad to see him back in the game 
again. " Mr. Ed. Fosgard, of Waco, Texas, had with 
him a little book, supposed to contain pointers on how 
to shoot difficult targets, and the boys’ attention was 
callen on many occasions to page 16. Mr. Fosgard had 
studied this little book carefully, and was shooting in fine 
form, and won high amateur average of the shoot. Mr. 
E. L. Jones, of Brady, Texas, won second high, and 
Mr. W. H. McCreery, of Loveland, Colo., third. 
Mr. E. T. Lednurn, of the Dupont Co., was called 
away from the shoot on business, much to the regret of 
every one present. 
Mr. Lee R. Barkley, though shooting good, was not 
shooting up to his usual form. Mr. Otto Sens had with 
him a large supply of cigars, and his many friends en¬ 
joyed a good smoke. 
Mr. B. E. Saunders delivered an appropriate speech 
after his friend, Otto Sens, had won the Sunny South 
Handicap at targets. 
Pop Heikes and W. R. Crosby were missed by their 
many friends. 
There were a number of extra events at live birds shot 
after the programme each day, in which King, McCreery 
and Gardiner were winners, with McCreery and Gardiner 
winning a greater number of the events. 
N. E. Poston and Geo. Tucker were also shooting live- 
birds in good form in the extra events. 
With the exception of Thursday, which was a cloudy 
day with a light rain, it was an ideal week for trap¬ 
shooting. 
An effort will be made to pull the Sunny South Handi¬ 
cap off at some other point in Texas next year.

SUNNY SOUTH 
HANDICAP 
AT TARGETS 
WINCHESTER 
Just to show you again the winning quality of 
Winchester goods—the Red W brand—they cleaned 
up things in the land of cotton at the Sunny South 
Handicap Tournament, held at Brenham, January 
28-February 1; Fred King, of University Park, Col., 
winning the Sunny South Handicap at Live Birds 
with a straight score of 25 kills, using a Winchester 
Repeating Shotgun; and Otto Sens, of Houston, cor¬ 
ralling the Sunny South Handicap at Targets, with 
90 breaks out of 100, using Winchester factory loaded 
"Leader” shells. High Amateur Average also was 
won with a Winchester Repeating Shotgun, it being 
_ used by Ed. F. Forsgard, of Waco, whose score of 
720 out of 800 was high for his class. No matter what may be said 
for other goods, the fact is that Winchester goods win, and this is 
being demonstrated again and again—and yet again, as above. Then, 
too, more use them than any others, which was the case at the Sunny 
South shoot, particularly with regard to Winchester shells. It was a 
sermon in shells. Perhaps we have already said enough to show you 
why you should use 
Winchester Shells and Repeating Shotguns 
Stewartslown Gun Club. 
Stewartstown, Pa., Feb. 12.—The shoot was one of the 
most successful ever conducted in York county. Iwenty- 
six shooters took part in the target, and fourteen in the 
live bird events. Mr. Somers of Delta, took high 
honors in the target events with 103 out of 125, and 
divided with Bob White in the live-bird events. . 
The targets were hard, owing to the strong cross wind, 
and the bad reflection from the snow. Mr. Lewis, of the 
Dupont Powder Co., was the only trade representative 
on hand.

Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Association. 
Bradford, Pa., Feb. 11.—Having had several inquiries 
as to what we are doing toward getting in shape for the 
Pennsylvania State Sportsmen’s shoot, which we hold 
May 25 to 28, we thought the best way to answer those 
would be through your paper. 
We are now getting the programmes ready, which will 
be about the same as last year—Squier money-back sys¬ 
tem merchandise event, and good average money. 
Our members are talking of giving a party at one of 
our country clubs to the visiting shooters, wives and 
sweethearts. So this ought to be an inducement for 
them to bring their wives and let them have an outing. 
We will make this one of the best shoots of the year, 
and those wishing programmes should address me.
