Who's going to snap up Bob
Wade'S challenge to 200 rounds Of
skeet2 Don't all speak at once.
Bob has strongly insinuated that lie

rounds. He says he's ready TO take
on anyone ard will be open for an
engagement Sunday. Theren prob

Wade has never been accused Of
falling down on the first hundred,
breaking from 90 TO IS, but he says
his strength will lie IN that second
hundred rounds. II Just begin 10

woocs and tied to a tree. These
two Shelters have had a friendly
feud OF long standing that began
years ago on trap ranges IN Kan

Hunters who have practice6 at
the skeet range declare their mark
manship has improved consider
ably. Skeet shooting is arranged IN
such a manner that it is the near
est possible approach TO actual tietd
conditions. One moves around p
field getting all the possible angle
shots. The traps fly out OF a high
and low position in singles ana
doubles. Whitewings are feeling h
effects Of skeet practice. rHieo
game bags are no rare spectacle
this season.
With the renewal of the ancient
feud between the BROWNSVILLE
Eagles and the Corpus Christi Buc-
caneers in the not SO distant 7
fans are preparing for a large
turnout at the Gulfside city. Ore
of the local railroads has announced
a round trip rate Of $3.l5. A spe-
scial train would be run. Transpor-
tation cost IS thereby eliminated as
one of the fans worries. Many Of
the Eagle supporters will make the
trim by automobile. The squad 1T
Self will 20 up the day before the
game by rail.
The round-trip tickets are now on
sale at the following places. Batsell
e. Wells, Hargrove Book Store. Nc
KAY Drug Store. Cisneros Drug No.
2. Bell Service Station ana the
Eagle Pharmacy. 1t Is also l(ly
that several planes will stagger UP
the coastlire burdened BY LOADS Pr
eager fans.
Strangely enough. one does not
hear much concerning the Harlln-
gen game. 1t seems as though
Brownsville Is more concerned with
the aames to follow-Corpus Christi,
Robstown, Breckenridge. Main,
Harlendale. Alamo Heights and
Austin. SO far as the Eagles are
concerned, the Harrington game
means nothing IN their chase Tor
district honors. But there is still
that Valley angle to the game. L
would be a sad blow indeed If the
Eagles were to get off on the wrong
foot. The squad j. not over-con-
fident although it is a greater
{ paper" team than the Cardinals.
The Eagles and Junior college
Scorpions will probably stage q fu.l

A Valley baseball league. com

the colors OF the Central Power an5
Light company. Their record Is
perhaps the best In the Valley.
I They have tucked away ID Of their
last II starts. No action toward a
league has been taken as yet. We

had lots Of fun this season. but i
