GOLF COURSE IS
 HAVEN FOR GAME:
Erratic Players Will Have Hard
 Time Obeying Laws

Chicago, April 2s LP' - Erratc golfers at the Glen Oak Country club may have q hard task in obeying the law from now on.
 The club has had it's property and some surrounding farms made state game preserve for com plete protection of birds and small animals and has placed a flock of ducks and geese on the pond that serves as q water hazard at two short but hard holes. How to dub a ball into the water without hit ting duck is the problem.
 Golf clubs for several years have made efforts to protect birds be- cause of their usefulness in de- stroying harmful insects. and have built houses and feeding racks for the winged lnsectivora. But th" Glen Oak management. learning that ducks and geese also were | helpful as well as picturesque adornments Of a pond. decided to acquire a flock. It also was gar nered from insectology that moles and woodchucks ate the harmful | mites, while rabbits made way With weeds. Some quail and pheasant also will be placed in the wood- 1 land.
 How members will answer the
 game warden in case they top q i ball into the sconco of a mallard
 swimming in the pond, or slice q drive into the midriff Of a rabbit | browsing in the rough, has not 1 been determined.

FALCONS TO PLAY
 WATERVILLE CLUB
Strong Combination to Meet Locals at St. Mary'S Sunday

The Falcon 4. C. baseball team will play the Watervillo club Of Wa
 tarbury at St. Mary's field sunday 1 afternoon. q The Falcons, fresh from their hard earned victory over the x Y team of New Haven last Sun day will be out to make it two in a row against the Brass City outlt. The local club faces a hard task because Of the strong lineup which the Waterbury club will send into the game. Dodge who leads off the
 batting order and plays right field, ! is one Of the fastest base runners in Waterbury. He Is 10 second man on the track and has been q con sistcnt 800 hitter for several seasons. He is ball hawk in the field and his garden will be well taken care Of. Heinie Darlington is stationed al short stop. He is the well known basketball star and at present is baseball coach of the Yale Junior Varsity. He is a tower of strength at the bat and in the field. Mag zarella who plays second base, is a sure fielder and q consistent hitter. Collins, the left fielder, besides being a fleet footed fly chaser. was the leading hitter of the Waterbury In dustrial league last year. He played with the championship American Brass Co. team.
 played with Canaan last year and in that section of the state, is consid- cred one of the best initial sackers seen there in years. He is a hard man to pitch to and should make trouble for the local twirlers. Ahearn. the center fielder, is q for mer Crosby high school star and he completes a trio Of efficient out Hcldcrs. Langlois the third base man. is well known in this city be- cause of his work with the Milldalc club for several seasons. He starred with the Wilby high several years ago.
 Metcalf Is the catcher of the team and q reliable backstop. He is a dangerous man for would be base stcalers and can nip runners off the bags with surprising racu- larity.
 The team is well fortified in the firing line with three good tWirlers. Condon, leading pitcher of the cub. was the mainstay Of the American Brass Co. team in it's drive for the Dusty league pennant in Waterbury last year. kcndrick was the star slabman for the Ansonia team, one of the leading clubs in the Nauea- tuck valley, while Frazier leaves little to choose between him and the other two. Bradstrcet, Dupey and Moran form the utility squad.
 The Falcons will attempt to cor rect weaknesses which cropped out last Sunday. In q stiff practice sos- sion Saturday afternoon at o'clock at St. Marys field.
