CDOLIDGE TRIES : SUPERIOR. Wis... Aug. 20. (AP). Prevented by rain from going out on the Brule river for hie favorite pastime. President Coolidge turned to trapshooting again today and bettered all his previous-records by making 24 bits out of 25 shot. Satisfied with the sport after this display of skill, he closed him self up in the house for the rest of the day, working at his desk. President Coolidge astonished . his trapshooting companions to- day with his high percentage of bits, for which he used a 12 bore ! repeating shot gun at the usual distance of 4 8 yards. Others ' present, who had considered LUCK W TH GUN themselves much better ehots, i eould not equal the Chief Execu- -y? I: tive'a performance.' " As far as i they knew Mr.-Coolidge had not $ 'I brought a gun to his shoulder for 4 many years until this summer. 't On a previous occasion, about one Month ago he had made seven hits at of nine shots. Mr. Coolidge had a new exper ience Saturday I night .when he went fishing on the Brule river at S -p. m., and stayed until close to - . midnight. The president was de l lighted with the night fishing and made a very fair catch of trout. It : Was thought likely that night fish- lag will be added to his regular ' "- routine. Although Mr. Coolidge has no. - tared and traveled a fair amount tn the neighborhood of Cedar Is land Lodge he had never had oc- v.-; easion to visit the Minnesota city. Special arrangements are being made to have the whole city turn out for the Chief Executive and give him a record reception. ; . - President Coolidge will tjs driv en through the principal streets :u ofDuluth and centers of interest " will be pointed out to him. His . ' present schedule does not call for any stops or speeches. The pria . ; cpal feature of theday will be a j : drtve. along the boulevard . which akirts the top of the rocky hills on whose steep" tides Duluth is built, and from which a unique view of the city and of Lake Su i perior is obtained.

Game ; " Strictly In accordance -with" pre dictions. ; the Salem - Senators de feated the Bend Eagles here 4 to 1 Sunday,. . spoiling : the r,Bend team's prospective clean sweep of the second half of the season, but the manner thereof varied widely from those same predictions. "Chinky" Coovert, . Bend pitch er, performed more capably than he did against the Senators at home the week before, but John ny Beck - was in the beat xorm that he baa displayed all season. He held the visitors to lour, scat tered hits, meanwhile retiring eleven batsmen on strikes, and was accorded perfect support. The visitors got their one run in the third. inning when Tram mer walked, was sacrificed to sec ond and scored on Hepting's two bagger. '-. ; "-'T ... Salmans Oa Job The SalllvanSwthers, Billy and Joe, had a band in all of Salem's scoring. . In. the first inning Quinn walked, 'Joe sacrificed him along, Ridings walked, an then Billy's big bat registered a two bagger, scoring Quinn. Ridings reached third on that play and scored when Keber laid down a nice bunt. I In the fifth Joe Sullivan wa' ea, reached second on wood s e. ror, was sacrificed to third by Ridings, and scored on Billy's sin gle. And in the seventh Joe reached second when Heptrag threw wild to first base, was sac rificed along, again by Ridings, and dented the plate on a squeeze play with his brother. Four Hits Jn Game Billy's bunt was chalked up as his fourth hit in as many trips to he plate; for Wood, diagnceing the play, came in fast and the ball twisted off his glove about ten feet from the plate. Except in the second inning when Burdge and Allen singled in succession -and in the third when they got their lone tally, the visitors didn't get a man on sec ond 'base. Beck fanned three in a jrow in the fourth inning. ine oox score: Bend PUyer AB R Trammer, m a 1 tteotfrow. 2b 1 0 llepvinc. 3b 4 0 Wood, lb 4 0 Bardie, If ; 4 0 Allen, ef 4 0 Sloko, rf 3 0 Eubtnk. .'.3 0 Coorert, p 3 0 Bifbe . 1 0 H PO A 0 2 1 1 0 13 1 2 1 4 0 0 2 -s o 0 0 0 1 9 0 Totili SO 1 4 24 15 2 Btted for Sto4o in ninth.
