Sports Briefs Jy Hugo IfV I rullerton, Jr. i jfyf I NEW YORK, Aug. 22 (IP) Overseas sports roundup: . THE SANDSTORM LEAGUE Here's how they play GI base ball in the middle east, as related by Larry Leonard: "Our baseball team was engaging a quarter master unit when all of a sudden the QM boys voiced protest against the umpiring. Finally they tossed out the umpire. They put in another umpire (teil Du rocher to try it some time) and this new ump was one of our other players, who had just come out of the hospital. Well, our team, realizing the hitting ability of the kid we had umpiring, tried to take him out as ump and use him as a pinch-hitter . . . The other team protested so strongly they finally walked off the field and the game has to be played over.

The Sox were the victims In too, when they lost 12 to me a s. When in Medford . Stay et HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern -; Joe and Anne Earley ' Proprietor! Klamath basin hunters, agri culturists, and other interested people at first expressed joy up on hearing the above news re lease, but then they began to wonder if there would actually be much increase in the camber of shells available. County Agent C. A. ' Hender son noted that the 130.000,000 shotgun shells that would be made from the brass that is be ing released would supply the nation's estimated five or six million hunters with about a box apiece, hardly enough to last through one huntingrtrip, to say nothing of the whole season. It was suggested that many shells have been stored up by the wholesale sporting goods dealers throughout the country but local merchants seemed skeptical of the idea. They pointed out that, not enough ammunition has been manufactured for other than military consumption for wholesalers to build up a stock. One point that all Klamath men agreed on was that much more ammunition was going to have to be released than last year if crop damage was to be prevented. Not enough was re leased in 1943 to prevent dam age and at that time many peo ple naa extensive siocks ot shells saved from the year before. This year very few private shells are left from the last season's shoot ing. P. S. Puckett of the Gun Store stated that if the order came from Washington in the form of a complete lifting of the ban with no priorities required, he Believed that it would result in "a heck of a mess," with many people getting shells and never using them. He recommended a system of rationing whereby people who really needed am munition and could use it would get it. The interested Klamath men had decided by Tuesday after noon that they would "keep their fingers crossed" and wait for further developments and do a little private investigating ol their own before they leaped to conclusions.
