TALK
Speaking of skeet—
This form of trap shooting is
relatively new but is taking a firm
hold on the sporting element in all
parts of the country. It was orig
inated some ten or twelve years
ago. A group of gunners headed
by the late Charles E. Davis, looked
about for some form of wing shoot
ing practice that would permit the
use of their favorite brush guns
and offer a series of shots similar
to those met with in actual hunt
ing They evolved a plan whereby
two traps were employed and in
which the eunners changed their
positions. In this manner all types
of angling shots arr obtained The
traps are located at the opposite
ends of the field A round is shot
at single trap and then both traps
are released simultaneously. Gun
ners have to be ouiek and accurate
to get the two ••birds-* traveling In
opposite directions across the field
• • •
There are now four skeet clubs
in the Valley and two more arc
contemplated. There is one at
Donna, one at Brownsville and
two at Point Isabel. Ranges for
Harlingen and Boca Chica are
contemplated Corpus Christ!
now has a Huh in operation.
These ranges arc springing up
ever the country . 4 skeet organf
7ation was placed in operation
at Abilene last Sunday. This
form cf trap shooting Is one es
s«»t.ailv for hunters. The> rmet
the same conditions here that
they meet in the field.
• » »
Professionals and the old guard
of regulation trap shooters are in
clined to scoff at the new game.
They stick to their bee-line gun
nery and run up amazinrlv accu
rate scores But when they are
lured into a skeet shoot they usually
find themselves beaten by some
old time duck hunter.

The local cluh was out Tuesday
eftemon and some expert pulver
ising of clay pigeons was done.
Bob Wade made two scores of 22
out of posible 25s. elowniny
throughout his nerformance. W.
B Walker, a visiting farmer from
the vicinity of Harlingen, also
broke 22. In two other attempt*
Walker made 2tK and Its.. .Tim
my George was in good form,
turning in cards of 21. 2« and 17.
Harry Richardson, as usual,
showed the hovs how to speed up
the game with his rapid fire
doub’e shots. He shot three
round* breaking I*. Ik and Ifi
“birds “
• • •
M Verdugo, Matamoro* customs
official, participated in the shoot as
the guest of Vincent Stephenson
The pair ran nip-and-tuck battles
but judging from the way they were
missing, wild game life in the Val
ley is not seriously menaced by
them. Cleve Tandy was in the
same boat. He rierlarrd that if his
score was printed he would declare
a boycott on Brownsville's best
evening uaper We cannot condone
suppression of the news, however,
and will emphaticallv state that his
score was under 25. Cleve had
been trying out his new 4-cylinder
outboard motor at the Point earlier
in the day and excused himself on
the grounds of “seasickness"
• • •
Hurt Bat'dl is such a shark at
rkect that he has abandoned the
regulation .12 gauge and taken to
a .410. He came in for quite a
hit of good natural ralleries as
the result. After a long streak of
hits, the other skeeters began
suggesting that he use an air gun.
One even hinted that he should
use a “nigger shooter” to make
things more even.
• • •
The chief drawback to skeet
seems to be its popularity More
and more names are being added
to the club's rolls The more
names the more shooters The
more shooters the slower the game

PALMEZ AND
TIGERS ROW|
Hatters Declare Challenge
Ignored; Player Rule
Storm Center
Brownsville's bitter baseball rivals
have come to the parting of the
ways, aparently.
The Tigers have ref use J to con
sider the challenge of the Hat •
Makers for a game next Sunday, ac
cording to Fidel Loya. manager tf
the chapeaux manufacturers. This,
Loya states, is due to the fad. that
the Tigers would not consider a j
players limit rule specified Ln the
challenge hurled out by his rire.
This clause required that only play- j
ers who had played this seas-u un
until and including June 12 be used
in the series that virtually amounts;
to a tussle fdl the rity champion
ship.
Tiger players and officers refute
the statement ol Loya. declaring
that they are wilting and reidy to
meet the Palmez Hatters s.iv rime.
They explain that a game already
had been signed with the Mission
3O-30s for Sunday afternoon when
the challenge was received and that
they will be without the «?rvices ct
several valuable players Sunday
for various reasons.
Consequently they wished to ob
tain bther players to take the ptaco
of the absentees. They were shut
off from doing sc by the player-limit
clause in the Palmez challenge, they
declare
One of the chief cries of the
Palmez nitre was t hat the Tigers were
planning to bring down Faust ino
Pumarejo to hurl against them Pu
mareio. a former professional, held
the San Benito Pentagons to on?,
hit last Sunday.
The Pa'mez nine, ripping alone !
better each year, has elected a new
captain. He is Clemente Garcia
Clemente wras elected at the teams
regular meeting Monday night The
new cantain has played much ball
in the Valiev and is well known He
is a clean iielder and a timely hit
ter
Sunday the Palmez nine will play
a Nuevo Laredo team in Matamoros
at 3 30 p. nr
The Tigers will take on the Mis
sion 3O-30s at the Leeion park ner?
at the same time.
