GUIDE RELATES
LAST PIGEON
SLAUGHTER

SPARTA, Wis, Nov. h.-"Gun'
Baldwin, who sometimes tells Of
the last great nesting Of the
passenger pigeons in Wisconsin
when sportsmen gathered in his
little gIlnshop to smoke and talk,
does not believe that the extinct
pigeons were killed off.
The pigeons used to be slaugh-
tered by the thousands" he said,
but 1t isn't possible that shoot
Ing them and netting them, or
even looting their nests of young
birds by the wagonload would
make them disappear so sud-
denly as they did. have heard
9 theory that they flew into a
log at sea and were lost. Some
thing like that must have hap
pened."
Flew In Great Ribbon
The vast numbers Of the pige-
ons did not "darken the sky"
as some writer's have said, ac-
cording to the old gunsmith.
:. They flew In q great ribbon,
like an arch across the sky from
one horizon to the other" he
said. They flew close together
and although they flew at great
speed 1t would take all morning
Tor a flight to pass. They'd be
going to feed"
The last great nesting in Wis
conStn was near Trout Falls,
about 10 miles from Sparta. 1t
covered an area of several square
miles, the old-timerS here recall,
and every jackpine held several
nests.
THE first nesting I remember
was when I was about 49," Gun
Baldwin recalled. II made $500
that time, but it went to my
father. They came every spring
for long time. The last one
came just after I was married
and I made $1,000 for myself
that time.
I'VE used to catch them with
nets, as many as 20 or 80 dozen
at q pull. The METERS built
bough houses to sit in and would
spring their nets when the birds
settled. We used live decoys to
bring them down, but the thing
that turned the trick best was a
stool pigeon.
WED close the birds eyes
with a silk thread run through
the eyelid. It did not hurt, Just
held the eyeid shut. The pigeon
would try to fly with It's eyes
&hut.
THE best catch I ever made
was 11O dozen one day at
waterhole and got 81 a dozen
for them. That was a good price.
] sold them as cheap as IS cents
q dozen"

 Gowdy played second base instead of catcher. and Evers did not play at all but they acted like the Gowdy and Evers of old. The Trojan rushed out from the bench followed by his whole team to protest a de- cision at the plate. It didn't make any difference to Evers that the umpire happened to be Francis F Slattery, chairman of the Boston schoolhouse committee and men toned as Boston's next mayor but Umpire Pete Mckenna came 10 SIattery's rescue and Evers was banished from the coaching box for the remainder of the game.
 Evers put a young recruit named James at second on his team James pleaded hard before the Trojan gave him a chance. but he pleased both the veterans who seem to be doing most of the managing for President :. Manager Emil Fuchs. He was fast on the field and had left hand swing like SislCr's. The game. m 'cidcnt9ily. ended in a $ to tic.

Paso Robles. Calif.. Feb. :7 R- Donie Bush evidently means 10 ham dIe the Pittsburgh Pirate 1929 edi. ton differently than during the past season. The arrival of Fred Russell rangy left handler, yesterday showed the diminutive mentor to be not so easy. Russell. three days late. though signed early. was lucky to escape d fine. Bush told him. and may yet if he doesn't round into shape the same time the other bat tery men do.
 Twice a day practice sessions have been inaugurated with all battery men participating excepting Bur leigh Grimes. who has been taken down with a cold.
 The new inhcid trio. Shecley. Traynor and Stroner. seems func- tioning to the queens taste. Stroner especially seems in excellent shape despite his recent appendicitis operation.
 Tomorrow the second section Of the team is expected and all then will be at the practice camp. the Wancrs alone excepted. Both are holdouts. therefore both Comorosky and Grantham may become regular outficldcrs.
