SHANNON WINS.
Gun Club Shoot Proves Easy Victory for
 the Hill Team.

After suspense of two weeks, the match shoot between the Shannon and Clifton gun clubs, which was pulled off at the former club grounds last Sunday afternoon, proved to be an easy thing for the Shannon team, their margin being a total of forty five birds. The shoot started a few minutes later than the called time, but when the fireworks did start, the first Shannon squad started off in manner by the second Shannon squad. Shannon took the lead from the beginning and continued to gain throughout the entire contest. The graudstand was packed with specta- tors, who though deeply interested in the result, did not interfere with any of the shooters. Although the contest was a onesided affair, it proved to be quite interesting and the audience remained to see the finish.
 The fastness of the Shannon traps and the collection of angles given by the trappers, took the Clifton boys by surprise, and few of them were able to make connection, hence every member fell sEort on his average score from three to ten birds. The only member of the Clifton team who held his own was Reisiuger, who made total of nineteen birds. AL lender, who is one of the best shots in this district, did not get next to the angles until it was too late for him to get more than seventeen. However, the rest Ot the team. with the exception of Bates, went all to
 .ieces.
 On the other side True and John Millert went the twenty-five round with d total of twenty-three birds each, which smashed the old record of the Shannon hill. Seventeen seemed to be the favOrite score of the Shannon boys, as nearly all Of them got that number, with the eX- ceptiOu of Bond. who was low man with fourteen. Really the Shannon team were at their be-t, practice having made d great difference with some of their new men. With more practice they will be almost invinci- ole on their own grounds in the future.
 The following are the individual records of those who took part in the match, and the ERA would suggest that some of them be framed:

It seems to be the general desire of the members of the Clifton gun club to move their traps to level ground in order to permit the proper regulation for trapshooting. At the old ground the boys are compelled to shoot up hill, while other grounds are on a level, and in the event of an outside match they must change their system of shooting in order to kill the birds, A committee has been appointed to select a new range, after which the traps will be removed.

CLIFTON WON AGAIN.
MOrenci Basket Ball Team Played Good
 Game-Hi9h School Won.

The opera house was the scene of two exciting basket ball games last Saturday evening, the first game be- Ing between the second team and the high school team. The boys. though not experts in making goals, put up a most exciting game, owing to the fact that the score was ex- ceedingly close, the final result being 7-5 in favor of the high school. Eacb five had their rooters but to those not so deeply interested in the result, it seemed that the high school rooterS had the best of the deal. The hall was crowded and the spectators enjoyed the first game equally as we'll as the big game.
 Shortly after the finish of the first game the Morenci five appeared on the floor for practice, when the audience drew their conclusions that the Clifton team would have to go some to defeat them. When the Clifton team warmed up their handling of the ball also demon strated that they were not so slow themselves
 When the game was called the audience held their breath for a few seconds when the players scrambled for the ball and when the smoke cleared away Clifton had gained the point. The first half was closely con tested from start to finish, but Cliff ton was in the lead. The second half proved of the same result, with the fiual result that Clifton was vic torious by score of 37-25. The Mo renci team is composed of heavier men, but when it comes to making goals and handling the. ball the Cliff ton boys are rig ht at home. Itis a difficult matter to pick out the stars on the Clifton team, but Longwell and Fehrman were shining very bright Saturday night The game was most exciting from start 10 fin ish and those who saw it were more than satisfied that they had received their moneys worth. In the shape of good measure dance was given by the Clifton five aud all who wish ed joined in d real social time.
