Donna showed the growth Of the
new trap shooting in the Valley. At
one time. there must have been
$50 cars around the field. The spec
tators followed the game closely,
keeping mental tab on the two
teams. A number Of women and
girls were present. They seemed
just as interested as the old hunters
who ganged under the lean-to
shelter.
The two clubs will clash again
this coming Sunday at Browns
vile. They will probably start
their guns barking about $3.50
a. m. and continue on through
the morning until noon. Firing
would be resumed at 1880 D. m.
This is the program as followed at
Donna, where more than 24O0
rounds were fired. A large GAL
lery will more than likely turn out
for the shoot here Sunday.
There were no exceptionally bril-
liant scores at Donna, but the
Skeeters kept plugging along at a
fair clip. Donna in winning the
first team shoot. averaged 22.79l
birds out of a possible IS. Browns
vile blared away at a rate Of 22.i66.
Each team fired at 600 of the flying
targets. Donna broke SAT: Browns
vile 532-a difference Of is birds
out Of 600. Both teams suffered a
bit from stage fright and conse-
quently lost more birds than they
should have. Only one perfect Is
was obtained in the regular shoot.
Wilmoth OF Donna accomplished
this feat on his last round. In a
special event. Bob Wade Of Browns
vile broke a IS to lead q select
group Of gunners.

honors. each obtaining SO cut Of q
possible 100. Donna placed Arnold

Those San Benito Aztecs are a
bunch Of game guys. They tried
to scruff the Pents in the dust again
Sunday. but as usual. came in for
a bit Of scruffing themselves. The
score. 9-3. does not indicate the
~closeness OF play. Up until the
eighth. the score sheet stood tvo-aI.
Then a flock of errors. two doubles
and a home run gave the Pentagons
six runs.
Both EzeIIe Darby and Monk"
NFcncus hurled a good brand Of
ball. Darby was nicked Oppor-
