Bonura Hot Against Sox.
Adding to the Joy at Griffith Sta

zeke Bonura, the big banana man Of
New Orleans and lemon man of Chi
cago. zeke had been going along for
some weeks without being able to
knock high hat off a head with his
bat. But the current invasion of the
White SoX apparently has brought
him to life.
Bonura won the first game of the
series with an eighth-inning triple
that broke % score and chiefly was
responsible for a 5-to-4 victory. But
that was modest achievement COM
pared to his feats of yesterday, when
he singled, doubled and hit his seventh
home run of the season into the left
field bleachers.
Zeke so pleased the clients that for
the second straight day small bar
rage of lemons was laid down. After
he socked his thinning honder a
group of fans tipped three lemons shat
rolled along in front of Manager
Jimmy Dykes, who traded Bonura to
Washington for joey Kuhel.
The game was won in the first
inning, when the Griffs put together
six hits and two bases on balls against
Frank Gabler to score five runs.
Gahler retired after getting only one
man out and John Rigney impressively
finished the game.
1t was too late. though. Leonard
clung tenaciously to his lead and never
was in danger, in spite of doubles by
Schumacher and Kreevich to lead off

Nearly 200 of the ace skeet shooters

Sunday at the National Capital Skeet

gatherings of American skeetdom.
Frank r. Kelly Of New Jersey for
the third successive year captain of
the all-America team, will defend
his highly coveted individual all-bore
title against such local experts as

major championship at the North

uled to begin at 9 am, and the wom-
ems open 10o-target, 20-gauge open
1oo-target and the 20-gauge two-man

On Sunday the five-man team and in
dividual championships will be shot
concurrently, so targets in the morn

Scores made in the team event also
will be counted in the telegraphic
shoot, new event this year.
Defending champions in the i'm
portant flve-man team event are the
National Capital Skeet Club Rebels,
who won last year with a score of
478x500. In a recent match at Ken
wood the Rebels scored 4s1, one point
less than the world record held by the
Roseland, N. j., team, but much better
than the North South record Of ats
held by the Loantaka, N. ]. Club.
Roseland twice has held the North

cunning for the title.
The team shoot will be a wide-open
event, however, with about 20 of the
country's best teams expected to COM

also boasts another outstanding woman
shooter in Mrs. Albert W. Walker, who
was classified as the outstanding
woman skeet shot Of the country in
1887, and who holds the Middle At
