der patrol, customs border patrol

ment have received SO much bene-
fit from the several informal pistol

pleted plans for the match.
The matches will be held at the
Great Falls police pistol range in Sun

start at 8 a. m. The order OF firing will
be: law enforcement officers teams,
and individuals, to fire the slow fire
course, the timed fire course, n the
rapid fire course, in that order. These
scores to decide the winner of the Mon
tana pistol team championship and the
Montana individual pistol champion
ship.
The trophies for these matches are

tivity. Direct routing from any of the

Caraballo Red Devils and Rob-

and it was one of the widest of
the season.
The clubs scored 20 runs, col
lected 26 hits and made 16 err
rors, altogether.
The teams have not played un-
der lights for some time and this
may be the couse of the very loose
game.
Woodson made four costly en-
rors, Domenech and Demeritt
three each. Garcia committed
two.
Leaders at bat were F. Tynes
with three out of five, one good
for a double. Demeritt hit three
out of six. NJ. lTynes cOnneced
for a triple.
J. CarOonell, who had seven
putouts and five assists, played a
good game in the field
NJ. Tynes had four putouts and
one assist in center field.
C. Griffin was the only in
fie der without an error.
