in preparation for the beginning of this year’s season. The
°major league sale of players is scheduled for 7 30 p.m. Friday;
April 29 at the Fellowship Hall of the Episcopal Church.
Teams will begin playing on May 9. Sixteen teams and over
two hundred boys compete in the major and minor leagues,
and many more boys play in the Pee Wee League program.
Last season the Senator! won the major league title by
beating the Indians in a play-off series. The Orioles were
major league champions two years ago.
This will be the third'year that Little League games have
been played on the two baseball fields at Fireman’s park

A 28 gauge should be limit-

. that allows for very fast
winging onto the target.
A 410 will handle small
game and birds up tp about
30-35 yards. With slug ammo
pass-shooting ducks. It's a
small cannon and it packs a
wallop. so think twice about
it punishing your shoulder.
If each shot bruises your
shoulder, then you better go
for a smaller gauge if you ex- .
pect to enjoy any kind of
accuracy.
Above all if your hunting
includes quail and dove, don't
go for the 10 gauge You
won’t be able to get small

shels. «
Best all-purpose gun is the

about 100 yards.
From 50 to 55 percent of
the shotguns sold*every year
in the U.S. are 12 gauge. This
ratio has been holding true
for many years, and because
of this popularity, a wide
range of powder and shot
