Mrs. Carola Mandel, pretty Chicago markswoman, knocked down 150 targets with 12-gauge shotgun, ran string to 529 hits without miss for women's world skeet shoot record at Detroit (May 20).

Brooklyn showed signs of awakening, swept two-game set with St. Louis, faltered briefly to drop pair to Cincinnati but bounced back with double win over Chicago to move into contention.
