A big crowd was on hand at the
Sunday shoot at the Bishop street
range. Art Mcfarland let out an
other wrap and walked off with the
medal on a good score OF 20 ana MS
handicap of Is points, which ms FORMER
shooting indicated. w. S. Mcfarland
shot an 81, but his lower handicap put
him behind his brother.

Douglas clan-running from So, fairly
good score down to 76. an exceedingly
poor score.
Not a 80 was chalked up all day. and
when a bunch of twenty hand-gun
cranks cannot scare up one 80 IN the
attendance it is time for the Old La
dies home to get up a team ana hang
1t on these near experts.
A committee has been appointed TO
investigate the past performance OF
the McFarlands, as their wondertul
pickup of the shooting game does not
bear out their statement that they ana
reyolyers were strangers until about a
month ago. The Douglas clan does
not hesitate to state that they have
their doubts about the McFarlands
even being Scotch. as though notnlng
worse could be said of them.
Nick Rogers was out with new

DEFEATS SANTA BARBARA

SANTA BARBARA. April 5.--The Oc-
cidental baseball team easily outgen-
eraled, outflelded and beat the Santa
Barbara high school nine this after
noon by one-sided score of 10 to 4.
Patterson and Fred Thomson did
consistent battery work for the first
four innings, but Southpaw's first act
was his customary unlucky one, and
the Sand Dabs registered four gongs.
Thacker and Woooside went on
points in the fifth and little Cannon
Ball Usher placed an emphatic bene-
diction on ceremony with five strike
outs to his credit.
The fielding of Thomas at short was
an interesting feature. and Wieman
more than made up for his wild throw
in the Ventura game by his conduct
in the off garden.
The Budweiser quartet, Thomas,
Merrill, Bird and Thacker, scraped the
pan for six of the tallies.

HANDSOME BRONZE TROPHY
PLACED ON EXHIBITION

The windows of the stores along au-

But in no one of the stores is finer
display made than in the Haynes sales
rooms, where Manager Heddington has
on display the superb bronze trophy,
valued at $1,000 representing speed, a

This trophy was won by Haynes

the reason the Hayne won the trophy
was because it was the only one among
the whole lot that had an absolutely
