Mud ball was the proper sport for

Yesterday was one of those cold.

to make it all the more disagreeable
with one of his chilly and real wet
deluges.
Chief among the local clubs to be
set back was the Bacharach Giants,
who were set for their big opening
in Wilmington at Harlan Field. The

IT should say that there are three
times the number of waterfowl along
the Carolina coasts as was the case
five years ago Unless an epidemic
comes along. which is always a pos
sibnity, the increase in waterfowl
will, in the near future. present an
other problem, that of an over
supply"

the most complete equipment of any
hunter along the coast. From bat
terry box 10 housebOat none of his
outfit draws more than nine inches
of water. He has been able. for this
reason, to hunt. as well as make his
observations, in places unknown to
the common variety OF Nimrods.
II has taken not a little "convinc-
ing" on the part of Mr.. Beach and
others, that it is more profitable to
the former market hunters to spend
their time as guides rather than
killers. But today there are no bet
ter guides anywhere and the water
fowl shooter is sure of some great
sport as a result" says Beach.
