 Thirteen members of the Clifton gan club responded to the invitation from the Morenci gun club to spend Sunday afternoon on their grounds. The day was perfect one and Mes danes Reisinger and Simms were among the ladies who attended from Clifton. AS usual the Morenci club showed the visitors most pleasant time Many of Morenci's fairer sex were present and saw that the hl ncer of the visitors was quenChed before they started for home. And as a re- suit the Clifton boys were very com plimentary to their neighbors for the excellent manner in which they were treated.
 Most all of the boys made first class scores and they are of the opinion that the Morenci traps are about the right thing. The shooting was in the nature of practice, though if it would have been a match, the result would have been close. The most of the boys fired but two rounds though several of them stayed over 70 finish the third at a late hour For this reason the ERA will give only the two. first scores. The fol lowing individual records were made: Reisirger 22-22. Dunn l5 I9. Burtch 20 T., Deck 20-23. Kane 1918. Oaneuhauer 1922, Wm. Allender 22-2n, Harvey 15-16, Pascoe 1916.
