Recreation League Notes

This weeks column contains the biography of a very famous Rec reatlon League Bowler.
 First we give sketch of Clarence Trapshcoting Dan McHugh famous East End football, baseball, basket ball and ping pong star of two dec- ades ago. He earned the moniker of Trapsl1ooting Dan only c few years ago when he started taking up this famous old sport.
 Tn his early boyhood he was known as Buck McE1ugh the East End terror and admits that he was born in the vicinity of the Hitch- cock Lake a mere 35 years ago. Rec- reation League historians dispute Trapshootlng Dams age but agree on all other points namely his ability to hand out punishment to all the other kids in his neighborhood.
 At the age of seven he entered Prairie Oak school and conducted himself in a very gentlemar1ly man. ner until recess when the bell rang and to the Great Mac 1t meant a call to arms. Being fighting man Q black eye didn't mean much to him (his friends say that they do not re- member seeing him without black eye until he was 20) but Mac gave as he took and managed to take them all, in stride until our old Uncle Ezra moved out this way and the Great Mac became a much suhdued person.
 old Ez practised the JuJitsu on Mac several times and Mac cried Uncle and called 1t quits. The irony of this is the fact that for twenty years they hadn't seen each other until he joined up with the Recrea- ton League and found Old Ezra bolwing on the same team. The bowlerS couldn't account for the sud- den calm on the part of our Great Mac until the story leaked out last week.
 Mac also played football with Tumble Away College in Scowhegall, Kentucky and made quite reputa- ton for himself on the gridiron. His most noteworthy feat was 8 six yard drop kick and sixteen fuYnbles in one game. It is said that his spec tacular defensive play against their arch rivals Skunk Hollow U resulted in their being able to beat Macs alma mater only 136 to 2. The scores were made in one game and on the same day.
 Mac took up golf for a while and managed to break par on a basis of 1S6 par course.
 Nothing mucls is known about his basketball ability but even to this day Mac insists that the baskets are much too small and admits that in all the years he played foreward he never managed to make . field bas- ket.
 Hunting became his speciality for while and he managed to roll the last game off for several weeks dur ing the hunting season and 1t was some sight to see him on the alleys with his hunting clothes. Tn spite of his telling the boys how many wild geese, rabbits, pheasantS, deer. quail and coonS he bagged no one ever saw him with anything but a fur cap and VIC all know whert that was purchased despite Macs ability
