Buckwalter, of Royersford, Penna., shooting a Winchester Repeating Shotgun and Winchester "Leader" Shells, outshot a big field of crack amateurs and won the Eastern Ama teur Championship at the recent tournament of the Keystone Shooting League of Philadelphia. OTHER NOTABLE WINNINGS Shooting "Leader" shells, Wm. Wolstencroft won the Maryland Handicap at the "Amateur Shoot" at Baltimore, scoring 92 targets from the 20-yard mark. High amateur for the shoot was Chas. Mink, shooting a Winchester gun and "Leaders." Wm. Weidebusch, Wm. M. Foord and G. N. Hoover were tied for second amateur average, while J. W. Ewing was third. All shot "Leader" shells and Mr. Hoover and Mr. Ewing also shot Winchester guns. To win these events required skill and good guns and shells. The merit of Winchester shot guns and shells is established. They are the ones that in 1909 hung up the highest record ever made.
