MED By HALE SCARBROUCH Foreign Weapons There arc a great many sou venir guns in town right now, picked up on the battlefield or acquired in the many devious ways servicemen overseas had of acquiring things, and brought back home bui for the most part gun ex perts here in town will tell you to have Ihese foreign weapons checked over carefully be fore firing them. That goes mainly for persons wh o are toying with the idea of burning up some American ammunition in a war souvenir sun. American ammunition of the correct size will fit most any German or Italian gun, but it's a Good idea to make sure first that the weapon hasn't been re bored or that the American am munition doesn't put more strain on the breech than the gun was designed for. Most of the German guns are very good. The Luger, cham bered for German 9-mm para bellum ammo will take U. S. 9-mm cartridges, as will the P-38 Walthcr, which is an excellent hand gun. The Italians had a fine pistol in the Beretta which fired 7.65 mm shells identical to our .32 automatics, and the Italian 9-mm Corto is identical to our .380 Colt automatic. The Gun Store on Main can take any of these foreign guns for a one-day check to deter mine whether it's safe for use and set the owner straight on what kind of ammunition should be used, either reloads of for eign casings or American am munition. Reloaded 7 and 8-mm shells can be obtained now and 9-mm shells can be reloaded to any grain weight if empty casings are brought in. No gun expert will recom mend the use of U. S. ammu nition in a foreign gun, although several types fit various out land weapons. As far as Jap anese weapons are concerned, they're better for hanging over the mantel than anything else. You can't trust the Japs and you can't trust their weapons, either. Matt Finnigan has had a num ber of calls for advice on use of German guns, Mausers and the like, and he recommends a thorough checkover by an arms expert before firing. Bell hardware has also had numerous calls for advice on European guns and has refused to sell ammunition for guns which might not be capable of handling American shells. There hasn't been any Luger or Mauser ammunition put on the market and probably no am munition loaded for Jap rifles in this country. It's a good idea to know that you're getting the right stuff for the right gun and just the fact that an American cartridge will fit into the chamber of a for eign gun doesn't necessarily mean that your arm isn't going to be blown off if you pull the trigger. Better get some expert advice before using those souvenirs.

Klamath Diamond Aspirants Finish Initial Workout Klamath's ballplayers lost no time in taking the first step to ward a successful season as soon as the green light was turned on the Recreation field diamond and yesterday afternoon about 25 young men turned out as can didates for berths on the Sons of Italy Northern California loop squad. The bulk of the turnout was made up of ex-servicemen, those that have played ball here before and several boys who have had diamond experience elsewhere. Tennis Playing Vet Declared Ineligible SEATTLE, April 17 f.Tl The University of Washington has disclosed that Jim Brink, ranked No. 2 junior tennis player and ninth on the senior list national ly in 1943, will be ineligible for play with the university team this season; The reason given was because Brink switched from the Univer sity of Southern California to the University of Washington and switching from one school to another causes a player to lose one year of eligibility. As a returning veteran he was not penalized a year when he transferred from Washington to USC after his discharge. But after attending the southern uni versity for one quarter, he switched back again bringing the Pacific Coast conference ruling into effect. rDINE , Of The RED ROOSTER Klamath's Finest 614 Klamath Ave. Open 6 A.'

G. Carpenter is optimistic of his outlook this season. Another workout is slated for Thursday afternoon at 5:30 and Carpenter asks any other play ers interested in a spot on the team and who didn't enme out yesterday to bring their equip-1 mem ana join in the practice. Carpenter hopes to be able to put on an intra-squad practice game next Sunday afternoon to give the boys a taste of action, and is also contacting Medford. Ashland and Lakcview for a practice game before the loop season starts in May. There is a chance that either the Sons of Italy team or another team to be organized here will join the Southern Oregon league, thereby insuring a game here every week. The Northern California league includes Redding. Duns muir. Mt. Shasta. Weed, Mc Cloud and Klamath Falls. TRUCKS AND PICKUPS FOR RENT You Drive-Long.
