 It has been noticed that there is a tendency among young people who have rifles to go out in the woods hereabouts and shot at what ever their fancy selects in the way of target.
 This is a dangerous practice be- cause the small caliber rifle today is quite powerful, has quite a high velocity and will travel for some distance. Oftentimes a person or domestic animal may be in the line of fire even though the youngster does not SC ethem.
 A bullet missing the target travels on some distance and may injure some person or stock. The law states very plainly that a person un- der sixteen years of age cannot have license to hunt and also that it is necessary to have 8 license to hunt, to do so. There are quite a few who are not of this age and also some over that age who are going about with rifles. Parents should check up on this before damage is done.

YANKEE EATERS
 HITTING HARD AS
 RIVALS WORRY
Broaca, ex-YaIe Pitcher Holds As to 6 Hits;
 Dickey Out
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

| Limited Press Staff COrreSpOndent) | New York, April 27.-(UP)-The Yankee artillery is finding the range. Opposing American League pitchers are starting to dodge and duck. For the Yankees have cracked out 41 hits in 4 games, and are setting the pace in the American League. They lost their opener and then won three in a row.
 Connie Mack's Athletics came to town yesterday leading the league. The Tanks laid down a 13-hit bar rage on Harry Kelley, one of last years prize rockies, and Lee Ross who beat them three times last year, for a 7-1 triumph. The Tanks made a triple play in the eighth when Tony Lazzeri intentionally dropped Chubby Deans line drive. The play went Lazzeri to Crosetti to Gehrig to Rolfe.
 Nice Work
 l Johnny Broaca, the bespectacled ex-Yale boy held the As to 6 hits and became the first Yankee pitcher to go the route. The Tanks first three starters, Gomez, Pearson and Hadley, all had to have relief. Broaca, a Lithuanian by descent, learned to pitch out of a boys maga- zine which carried series How to Pitch,' and keeps diary on the days happenings at the ball park and his impressions of books he reads, people he meets, and cities he visits.
 The Tanks lost another regular when Bill Dickey, after making two hits, pulled charley horse in his left leg. Joe DiMaggio, who had his tonslls and daenoids clipped II days ago, is recovering rapidly and may be able to play by May 5. Pitcher Red Ruf1ng is still 8 holdout. The Tanks have withdrawn their offer of a $15,000 contract to him.
 The Boston Red Sox scored a costly 12-5 victory over the Wash ington Senators. Bobby Doerr, bril- liant second base rookie, was hit in the head by one of Ed Linke's pitch eS and will be out of action a while. Roger Cramer, Rick Terrell and Mel Armada made hits each. The Red 0oA cOllecCeO 10 nlCS OH DeShong and Linke.
 Dodgers Stung
 The Boston Bees, who scored only 4 runs in their first five games, ham, mered out a 9-5 victory over Brook iyn. The Bees pounded Luke Ham, lin to cover in the first, and con- tinued their attack on Birkofer and Jeffcota for total of 13 hits. Lou Fette, St. Paul rookie, was credited with the victory, but had to be aid ed by 39-year old Bob Smith, who relieved him in the 7th and pro- tected his lead to the finish. Babe Phelps. Brooklyn catcher, had a perfect day at bat with three singles and a double in 4 trips, and Gil Brack, Dodgers freshman center fielder. also boiled out 4 hits in s times up.

In his early radio days, Conrad Thibault sang with an octette of seven meni
 The amazing circumstances lead- ing to the formation of a group that did not square with its name is explain by Thibault thus:
 T was singing baritone for two different quartets, and minding my own business, when one day the leader of my Monday night four some stated that he had a job for an octette and would we report for rhearsal the next day with another quartett he had engaged to aug ment this four.

 Any country in which Levinsky and Doyle are matched to fight is sterling country to stay away from. Offhand, I would say that the best seat from which to watch thing of this sort is seat To- cated on an adjoining continent The only appropriate thing about this fight is that it is booked fol Wembly stadium. That's where the dogs usually run, you know. You may rest assured that there will be plenty of running tonight The last time I saw Levinsky wa! in Chicago, a few minutes befor, he was scheduled to walk into tn, ring with Joe Louis. His knees bea together with the speed of drum tattoo. his eyes bulged likes thos, of a bullfrog given to peeping tom ism, and his ears waved after tn, manner of distress signals. In short he was scared to death. And 1t tool the threat of blackjack over hi. noggin to get out there with Louis And one minute after the first bel he slumped in corner and, cover ing his face with his hands, cried
 Don't let him hit me anymore mister referee!"
 Round and Round
 The last time I saw Doyle, and I assure you it WAS THE LAST TIME, was when he fought Buddy Baer in Madison Square Garden The thrush" wearing a $2 marcel and ham actors smile, broke into mad retreat with the sound of the first bell, and continually attempted to make the East river and chance to swim for safety. Only the ropes prevented this gallant underwater bid.
 Finally Buddy Baer caught ur with him and hit him with a vicious right cross to the wishbone. At the moment of impact Doyle, with a great sigh, clasped. his middle and dropped to the flooring, claiming foul, foul, foul. This cry was taken up by Judith Allen, at that time his wife. Miss Allen, movie queen of sorts, then staged scene that would have wrung a golden bathtut from the eye of Cecil DeMille. She screamed, she tainted. She revived She tore her hair. She-well, she acted an utter damn fool.
 In 8 way, I'm glad Levinsky is fighting in England tonight. serves the English right. Sort oi pays them back for the stamp act they inflicted on the American col orlies years ago; for the suffering Washington endured at Valley Forge: and for the burning of the White House in 1872.
 The Kingfish will avenge all that Twelve rounds of Levinsky and tht English will have, paid for every. thing, the war debt included.
 So, let us sing with younger poet
 ''Oh not to be in England, when
 King Levinsky's there,
 "A-fighting with the Irish thrusf
 For lawdy! What a pair!"
