A total of 37 runs, 36 hits and nine errors appeared on the scorekeeper’s book when the game was over. In the seventh, with the score at 17 to 10 in favor of the Dairy- mén, six singles and a homer by Vidal knotted the count for the Merchants, sending the game in- g#o an extra inning. ‘ In the eighth ,two singles and three errors by the Merchants produced two runs for the Milk- men, giving them the ball game when they held the losers to a lone run in the last half of the extra round. In their final half, the Mer- chants had a chance to win as Alayon walked and a wild pitch and an infield out allowed him to score. Perez struck put but Kerr was hit by a pitched ball. Val- daz came in to bat and all the Merchants’ hopes were wrapped up in the mighty Claude. How- ever, like the famous Casey, Val- dez struck out to end the game in defeat.

Lacey rests his gun on a knapsack to steady it and fires at the target. It is important that the target be set up at the same range at which the hunter ex pects to bag game. At any range-other than one: at which rifle is sighted-in, compensating allowances:must be made. { ' { AN EXAMINATION by Lacey shows that the first shot is high and to the left of the bullseye, so he makes an adjustment on the sights. Four clicks generally equal one inch on the rifle sight. To bring the shot down three inches and to the left two inches, Lacey clicks the elevation knob 12 times and the windage knob eight. Lacey's second shot is still high and to the left, but closer to the bullseye, so he makes two minor adjustments and then fires three straight shots into the bullseye. An inexpert rifleman may need more than five shots to sight-in his rifle, but the SRAR TS cicus EVERAL years ago, a 14-year- Ot tn tannin tntn tn tntntn ted dll FOLLOWING | | | SPORTS and THROUGH RECREATION - PEDRO AGUILAR mA AAeAA444444444444 NEWS AND NOTES OF GAMES AT WICKERS FIELD SUNDAY Chicago, aceompanied her father A very good crowd was present on a business trip to Hot Springs at Wickers Field Sunday.
