Valley League calibre and the fast
est game Ell Centre has played this
season. Priest, pitching for FL Gem

one hit, and that of the scratch vari-

First on the program was the blue
rock shoot between the Ell Centre Gun
Club and the Hoitville Gun Club for
a silver loving cup donated by the
Globe Grain and Milling Company.
Owing to the feet that the traps
used were of higher speed and lon
ger range than either of the clubs
were used to, the scores were not up
to the normal mark of either club.
The event was won by the Holtville
club by score of "a out of pos
sible 1875, to Ell Centro's 81 out of a
possible 125. The score will be found
in another column under the detailed
report of the sports.
The boxing events were fast and
furious, three of the bouts being
draws and the fourth knockout. The
novel idea of the management in pro-
viding two rings, one in front of each
grandstand, was greatly appreciated
by the crowd, as every one had a
good view of the ring battles.
