A total of over eighit * thousand clay birds were thrown and about eighty-percent of them were broken before they hit the ground. Buffalo Team Terrific The real highlight of the shoot was the almost perfect shooting of a team from Buffalo, New York. These five men 'on their first round of twenty-five birds did not miss one. A perfect 125 out of 125. and it was typical of the sportsmanship of the contestants that when they walked off the field they were given a real rousing ovation for as pretty a piece of shooting as anyone will ever see. As the day passed along it was quite evident that these same men * weré going to be the main winners . ang "when the last shot had been "vad it was found that two of them, Mr. ©. A.

A month ago anyone brash enough as to pick Cleveland In- dians to win the American League pennant would have been labelled a "nut" and rushed to the nearest psychopathic ward.

Podgajmy Wins Doubleheader for Baltimore Birds By The Associated Press International League fans who have become accustomed to- see- ing pitcher Johnny Podgajmy's name in nearly every Baltimore box seore are not surprised at his latest feat of winning both ends of a doubleheader, The hard working righthand- er who appeared in 66 games for the Orioles in 1945, is well on his way to equalling that mark as he has appeared in 10 of Baltimore's first 22 games, winning four and losing four. Podgajmy received credit for the Orioles' opening 11-7 win ove er Buffalo yesterday with the help of a home run spree by Ralph Weigel, Joe Mellendick and Babe Dahlgren. In the second game, Johnny took over for rook- ie Gordon Mueller as Baltimore scored a pair of ninth inning runs to win 4-2. Syracuse walloped Newark 10- 2 in a single game. Hank Sauer hit two home runs, each with two on, driving in six runs in the Chiefs' romp behind Millard (Dix~ ie) Howell, Herman Besse of the Leafs contributed a double and two sin- gles to lead Toronto to a 9-1 de- cision in the opener and Ray Yochim of the Red Wings chip- ped in with a triple to help him- self to a third victory in the fi- nale 5-1, Jersey City took to the league lead by clubbing Montreal in the opener 9-5 although the defend- ing champion Royals eked out a 6-6 even break in the nightcap.

British Team On the Beam, Walker Cup London, May 12 (AP).--A few weeks ago you could have bought Britain's interest in the Walker Cup for its measure in tea, but they're getting downright cocky now about keeping the golf mug in the Old County cupboard. "I see no reason why our Ameri- can friends should win back the cup this year," wrote Henry Long- nuts in The Sunday Times yester- ay. 'The observer saw two reasons for believing the United States team has made a futile invasion for the team trophy they monopolized until 1038, One was the high standard of play by the British team in last week's trials.

"Isn't it a lot of fun to get out on the old golf course again and lie in the sun?" -Bob Hope. wars pred The new-found confidence repre- sents a definite retreat from the wailing wall--clogged until recently by experts who believed British golf hadn't recovered from the war. What brought about the change of mind? For one thing the Americans have not carded any of the 60's for which they are so well known back home. Half their cards daily have been in the high 70's.

Tonight Stampeders and Mon- treal Royals meet at Montreal in the final game of a best-of-seven series that has gone the limit due to a valiant uphill struggle by the Westerners who twice have fought back from the brink of elimination, The seventh game was made necessary Scturday night when Calgary challenging Easterners .| who virtually had counted them out when the score in games stood 3-1 against them last week, scored a convincing 5-2 victory. The triumph, mainly a one-man show by centre Ken (Red) Hun- ter, who potted three goals and inspired his teammates, seat the series back to Montreal where Royals have scored two of their three victories, Archie Wilder put Stampeders into a lead they never relinquish- ed early in the first period when he scored as Royals' defenceman Doug Harvey was serving a pen- alty, Calgary outclassed the Royals during the period and at 16:45 Hunter sent the defending champs into a 2-0 lead. y Royals fought back in the sec- ond frame and had the edge in play mest of the period as they scored twice from the stick of right winger Jacques Locas on nic» passing plays. Sandwiched in between the Montreal counters was goal No. 2 of Hunter's--the only one of the three on which an assist was given, Early in the third period the Calgary centre star sent his team into a 4.2 advantage with each team a man short, His shot hit a goal post, rebounded inwards and the puck ended up in the opposite corner of the net behind surprised goalie Gerry McNeil, The teams were five a side at the time, Play roughened up in the last stages of the game When five of the last period's seven penalties were handed out--four to. Royals and one to Stampeders, Montreal held off Calgary with a two-man disadvantage but in the closing minutes with both teams a man short, Bunny Dame, former Nat- ional Hockey League player with Montreal Canadiens, scored unas- sisted for the Westerners to put the game on ice, Wilder, who did double duty by playing on the Calgary forward line and then dropping back to defence, crashed into the boards as he rounded the Montreal net in the third period. Wilder was taken off on a stretcher and admitted to hospi- tal, where examination showed a chipped bone in his right leg. Wilder and defenceman Bud Em- ery, who had suffered a swollen eye after running into'an elbow, were both with the Stamps when they entrained yesterday for Montreal. But Wilder will defi- nitely not be playing in the sev- enth game, and Emery is a doubt- ful starter, bry Gaba Ml dence aati Bs, Coy: Loser avant, Morin, LaForce. ii "Sus Michaluk, Emery Mini Seems, Yings, Dame, Sahel} alternates, Cairns, Sar Ch rownridge, Grant, Officlals--F, W.
