Much Spent
For Guns

Hunters In the United States
during the past year spent al
most S50,000,000 for guns and
ammunition. This estimated fig
ure is based on the excise tax
returns on guns and ammuni-
tion under the Pittman- Robert
son Federal-Aid-T To- Wildlife Act
which imposes a tax off II per
cent on sporting arms and am
munition, creating federal
fund which is apportioned to
the various states on the basis
of land area and number of
hunting license holders in each
state.

Spicer Gains
Spicer gained a game in the
Mems breakfast league by win
| ing three games from Mather
Spring No. 2 team, while the
Toledo Steel Tube dropped one
to Mather Spring No. /. Benny
Zielinski, in the leadoff position
for Spicer started with a 204
and 210 which looked like an
other 600 series for him but
ran into tough luck in the last
game finishing with 176 and a
500 series. He had help from
John Sobecki on a 521 and
anchor man Walt Lopinski's 557
to have high team series for the
morning.
Ed Young pumped in a huge
247 in his second game for the
Steel Tube and that was the
game his team lost to Mather.
Ed started his first game with
a 1853 and finished with 1877 for
612, the highest series in the
league this season. Dan Biler
who contributed a 202 in the
third game, found it just right
to give the Steel team an IL pin
margin for the victory. He fin
ished with 512 and teammate
Dan Mlynarek helped along in
the victories with a SIS series,
Gordon Bumper had but one
man shooting a 500 series and
that was strong enough to win
three from Willys UAW. Tom
johnson went over that figure
by II pins, Dutch Mohler per-
formed the best for the auto
team.
