Gun Club Sets Sunday Shooting Medford Gun club's skeet grounds will be ready for use on Sunday, November 7, but the organization's annual skeet tournament will not be held on that date. There will be skeet and 16 yard practice at the club on Sun day, however, along with com petition in the Ed Pease handi cap. Delay in getting the skeet grounds ready and the resulting lack of practice in that type of shooting are reasons for post ponement of the tournament which had been set for this week end. The tournament is now planned for some time in De cember. First of the fall turkey shoots will be held at the club on No vember 14.

Identify me by No. 2 and you're an expert; No. 4 is good; 6 only fair. The give-away clue is in No. 10. 1. A powerful mite, I rout foes ten time my own size. Females are always larger than males.

A New World dweller, our 500 kinds range from the tip of South America to Canada and Alaska. My body is compact, stream-lined for speed. My rapier-like beak may be as long as the rest of my body. Some of us have tails, again as long as our body. Our nearest relatives are swifts and night hawks. ' 3. Among the most brilliantly hued of all animals, we reflect the shimmering fragments of the rainbow, featuring such jewel like colors as emerald, flaming ruby, amethyst, pearl grey, bronze green, orange and blue.

Much of my waking life is spent on the wing. Our flight is a miracle: like no other bird we can fly forward and back ward; sideways, up and down, besides hovering in one spot. Our wing beat is stupendously fast up to .75 complete beats a second in forward flight, or should I say darting? I go 100 feet in a second! We migrate, males leaving a month or so be fore females, going thousands of miles, perhaps. 5. Because of the prodigious energy expended, I can eat over twice my own weight in concen trated food in one day. My diet is nectar, mostly, and insects. From the latter I extract what nourishment exists, and then make minute pellets of the in digestible parts and regurgitate them. 6. My exquisite teaspoon-size nest is made of fine fibers, lined with thistle-down, and camou flaged with bits of live lichen, moss and bits of bark bound with silk from the spider's web. In it, the female lays two -white one-half-inch long eggs. But then, did I say I may be only 2V2 in ches long while my nest is only IVi inches across? 7. Father is quite a courts man! Some males make aerial U-shaped dances that is, with the female at the bottom of the U he flies up one side and down the other, hundreds of times. Other males fly sideways, back and forth, keeping their eye on the female. If another male in trudes, a fight's to pay and it may last hours, during whicH they use their needle-sharp beaks. Upon one occasion, a friend of mine found two birds locked in death the sharp bill of one had pierced the breast of the other. 8. Mother alone broods for 15 days, until the eggs hatch, and rather than forsake the nest will allow a person to stroke her head gently. Father helps with the feeding. It consists of a crop ful of mixed nectar and partly digested insects squirted into the young 'uns' gaping mouths at 20-minute feeding intervals. In three weeks the young can fly. Ugly Tempers 9. Frankly, we have ugly tem pers and in our fury rout crows and hawks. Our enemies are spider's webs, in which we may become entangled; predatory birds and animals; and an oc casional large dragonfly may seize me by the neck and kill me. Because of man's lust for my jeweled feathers, in one year 400,000 of our skins were ship ped from the West Indies to one London dealer. 10. Many humans, however, are friendly to us and I'll cozy iip gratefully if you'll put a small bottle wrapped with bright cloth I take a shine to red and fill it with sugar-water, two parts of water to one of sugar, and hang it among the blossoms of a vine. My name? I get it from being the smallest bird in the world and making a musical ly humming noise with my rapidly-vibrating wings. I do not have a true song, but I do squeak and twitter. Answer: I am a Humming Bird.

Athletics Buyer Eyes AL Session Philadelphia (U.R) The rud derless Philadelphia Athletics, sold to Chicago industrialist l Arnold Johnson, veered toward I an American League meeting in New York next Monday for an expected shift to Kansas City. There was nothing in the wind to indicate the eight club owners would not approve transfer of the A's and leave behind a heart sick Connie Mack and his two equally shaken sons, Roy and Earle. A 54-year-old institution died Thursday when the Athletics, founded by the 92-year r old "grand old man"; of baseball, were sold to Johnson and three associates for $3,350,000. The sale ended a stormy confused final three months for the club, which saw a Philadelphia syndi cate 'thwarted twice in its ef forts to save the A's for this city. Johnson plans to move the team to Kansas City but appar enlly must get an okay from club owners at the New York session, called by league Presi dent Will Harridge. Friday.
