American Versus English Shell Construction 
The Corrugated Head used on Winchester Shells is a 
Winchester Patent—an ingenious American device. It 
is a far superior style of construction to the old English 
system of metal lining, once used in Winchester Shells, 
but discarded long ago. 
Pneumatic tires supplanted solid ones on automobiles, because they absorb the shock instead of simply diverting it to the 
axles, only to make them crystallize and break. The Patent Corrugated Head on Winchester “Leader” and “Repeater 
smokeless powder shells absorbs the shock of the powder explosion instead of localizing it, as the old English way of metal 
lining does. That’s why Winchester Shells, with their modern American patented construction, are as superior to shells 
made according to the English method of times long past, as pneumatic tires are superior to solid ones for automobiles. The 
superiority of the American system of making shells was plainly demonstrated in the victory of the All-American team over 
the team of English trap shooters, the latter attributing their defeat to being handicapped by using English made shells, 
which they acknowledged were far inferior to those used by the Americans. The shooter on the American team that was 
“High Gun" for the entire trip was W. R. Crosby, and he used exclusively Winchester “Leader” Shells, made with the 
Winchester Patent Corrugated Heads. If you want to get the benefit of modern. American ideas in shell making, which 
have been proven superior to the old English system of construction, you can do so by always shooting #

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
T HE contests for the club’s live bird trophy were re¬ 
sumed on Sept. 22, with a small attendance, only five 
shooters taking part. The day was pleasant, but very 
hot, with no wind. The birds were an unusually good 
lot for this season of the year, most of them being fast 
and strong fliers. Dr. Shouse acted as referee and scorer. 
In the first event Koch made a straight score, the onlv 
one recorded during the afternoon. Schreck was high 
for the afternoon with 46 out of 50. Koch and Walker 
second with 43 each. Gould shot at 35 b'rds, but was 
not in good form and withdrew. In the third event a 
trophy was offered by the club. Walker and Schreck tying 
on 10 straight. The tie was shot off in the last event, and 
Schreck proved the winner with 10 to Walker’s 8. 
The trophy event began in January, and one contest has 
been held each month, with the excention of July and 
August. The series ends with the December contest. 
The seven best scores are to be counted. 
Only four of those who entered have remained in the 
-contest: of these Gould has a total of 97 out of 105 birds; 
Schreck, 93: Walker. 92; Payne has shot in six matches 
and killed 79 out of 90. Taking the best five scores of 
the seven matches held, Payne and Gould are tied on 68, 
and Schreck and Walker on 67 each.

The sixth of the club's money-back tournaments was 
held on Sept. 25, and proved to be the most successful 
one of the series. The program was 150 targets, in ten 
15-target events, entrance $1.30 in each, with $1 extra for 
the money-back purse, making a total entrance of $14. 
There was also an optional $2 sweep on the entire pro¬ 
gram. Money divided Rose system, 5, 4, 3, 1, in the first 
five events, and percentage system, 40, 30, 20 and 10 
per cent., in the last five. Messrs. Lambert and O. Hola- 
day, Sr., gave good satisfaction as referee, and E. J. 
McArdle acted as scorer. The weather was perfect, just 
a trifle too warm, perhaps, but with no -wind to inter¬ 
fere with the flight of the targets. Everything went 
smoothly, nothing occurring to delay the sport. Shoot¬ 
ing began about 10:30 A. M., and, was finished just be¬ 
fore dusk. George Harold had charge of the financial 
end of the work and kept none of the shooters waiting 
for their money. The club offered a solid silver tea 
service for high amateur average, and this was won by 
George Dameron, one oT our best local shooters, on a 
score of 145, or 96.6 per cent. C. A. Young, professional, 
was high man for the day with 146, which included a 
run of 75 straight in the first six events. E. M. Stout, 
of Circleville, was second high amateur with 143. Fol¬ 
lowing him came J. Penn, W. Webster and F. Alkire 
with 139 each. 
Among the visiting shooters were: J. Penn and I. 
Brandenburg, Davton, O.; W. Webster and Lon Fisher, 
Columbus, O.; E. M. Stout. J. S. Ritt, J. E. Walters 
and Chas. Fellers, Circleville, O.; J. G. Francis, Har¬ 
rison, O.; F. Alkire, Williamsport, O. 
The monev-back pur<e amounted to $50, tile losses 
footing up $33.53, divided among thirteen shooters in 
sume ranging from 17 cents to $5.11. 
Squad "No. 2, Irwin, Francis, Dameron. Schreck and 
Brandenburg, made the high squad record, all but 
Brandenburg breaking straight in the last event. He 
dropped one target, making the total 74 out of 75. 
The last tournament of the series will be held on Oct. 
30. The series this season has been more popular than 
the one of last year, and the policy of the c'ub is be¬ 
ginning to be understood and appreciated by the shoot¬ 
ers in this section.
