THE OLD RELIABLE

While the echoes of the Grand American Handicap may have died away. Parker Bros, want to call the attention of the shooting fraternity to the performance of Mr. John A. Flick of Ravenna, O.. a one-armed shooter who scored with the Parker gun 97 out of a possible 100 at this famous shoot.

The Parker gun also made some very good records at the shoot, winning the World's Team Race with a total of 474 out of 500. and four Parkers out of five shooters In this event. The Consolation Handicap was also won with the Parker gun In the hands of Mr. J. T. Atkinson, tying on 99 and shooting out his opponent.

At Waynesboro. Va., on July 4, Mr. С. Н. Newcomb. of Philadelphia, strictly an amateur, won high amateur average, and at Richmond, Va.. Decoration Day, also won high amateur average.

At New London, la., which is quite a shooting center, it may be interesting to the sportsmen to know that the three handicap events held during their last tournament were all won with the Parker gun. Barton of Chicago, and Gilbert and Garrett all tied on 50 straight, Barton breaking 100 straight to win the event. The second day handicap was won by John Burmeister with 50 straight, and the third day handicap was won by Fred Gilbert with 60 straight. All of the Handicap events were won with the Old Reliable Parker In the hands of amateurs In two cases. In three days' shooting, the Old Reliable Parker made scores of 200 straight, which Is a remarkable performance and proves conclusively the reliability and effectiveness of the famous "Old Reliable."
