1928 Series Slammed
Hard at Playing Records

New York, Sept. 27-(By A. P)-
Besides SCATTERING all previous rec
ords for attendance and receipts, the
worlds series of 1923 also witnessed
the greatest single attack on playing
records of any preceding champion

books reveals that for the period
covering the series since 1903. Is
new marks were written in slast fall
while IL others were tied.

until last year that the big slugger
came into his own as a series hero
after being previously somewhat Of
''bust."
Ruth bagged or contributed toward
gaining five batting records when he
clouted out three homers. including
two in a single game. against the
Giants in 1923. He now holds marks
for the most homers in one series or
total series, most total bases in a
single series. most extra bases on
long hits for a single series and to-

than any other series performer but
also has famed the most times.

10 Ducks Daily
Limit Hunters
Under Present Law

Judging by the number OF letters
which are being received at the De-
partment of Inland Fisheries and
Game with reference to the daily
limit on ducks, the season on which
opened on September 16, 1t appears
that there is not thorough under
standing on the part Of many sports
men as to the number that can be
taken, or had in possession, in one
day. The department is issuing in
structions to it's wardens, and send
ing notices to sportsmen. calling at
tention to the law upon this subject.
Under the present statue no person
can take, catch. kill, destroy or have
in possession i'm any one day more
than ten ducks:
From the above 1t will be noted
that a sportsman cannot accumulate
his daily bag" The principle of this
law is no different from the general
fish law, which permits a person to
have in possession in one day only
one days limits pounds under the
general law.
Fearing many sportsmen who have
not written the Department may
misunderstood conditions the De-
partment is circulating this general
notice among hunters at the leading
duck grounds at the present time.

Strict Ice Diet :
Strange Worms Fare

Tacoma, Wash. Sept. 27-(By A.
PA species of worm that lives
only in ice and cannot withstand
even the heat of a human hand. has
been found and photographed by a
scientific expedition that recently
went into the Olympic mountains.
The ice on Dodwell-Rixon Pass in
the Olympics was found literally
alive with these worms. They are
black, thin and about half an inch
long. When the sun is out they
crawl into the interior of the ice
where the temperature is lower.
Scientists with the party said that
so far as they knew these worms
never had been found before in the
United States.
While the worms were photo
graphed, 1t was impossible to get any
OF them out of the mountains alive.
When the ice surrounding them be-
gins to melt. they die Immediately.
What they live on is still a mystery.
