By NEA Service Camp Perry, 0., July 17.—Zing! “It's a bull's-eye.” They'll be saying it here soon in a score of more tongues. TFor crack shots from every corner of the globe are coming to the Inter- national and National Rifie Matches on Perry's range, September 1-27. European nations are sending their most expert marksmen. So are the South American republics. And Can- ada, Australia and New Zealand, too. Stealing the championship from the United States is thelr one big ambition. The Palma Trophy—most coveted of all rifie awards—will be in compe- tion again for the first time since 1913. And there’ll Match.

MAR 1 City Leaguers Will Try Con- clusions With Clothier’s Pets to Settle Rivalry. Manager Billy March of the Pi- rates’ baseball team is in high glee today for, he announced this morn- ing, he has succeeded in arranging a game between his club and the Besse- leland nine to be played next Sun- day afternoon at St. Mary's field. Just who the pitching choice will be, Bill has not decided—nor will he most likely as most things of this nature are left to the club’s veteran mentor, Charlie Miller. The Besses also have not picked their boxman. The Pirates have long been casting envious eyes at the schedule of Man- ager Harold Campbell of the Besses and have not been at al backward in proclaiming that thy are the equal, it not superior, on the baseball fleld of the clothier's pets. As a result of the speculation among players and partisan fans, there has sprung up a strong rivalry and Sunday’'s game will be to settle the question of whether the Pirates or the Besses are the better team. Each club has some mighty good players on it and a good game is ex- pected. Beagle, the flashy first base- man of the Pirates, will have a man of tough mettle to buck against when he lines up against Ray Begley, the Besse captain. Beagle is but a boy in years and a member of the High school team but fields well and hits well. Ray, however, 1is older in years and baseball experience and hits as well if not better. It will be interesting to watch the way this vet- | eran and youth play Sunday. On second base there is little question that Nom Begley has the edge of| Morelll.
