One has only to take a stroll
around the sporting goods stores
of Washington to apprehend that
the duck-hunting season is at
hand, Maryland, Virginia and
the District of Columbia game
laws permitting the willy web
feet to be bagged for three full
months, from November / to
January 81.
Consequently, there is great
hum of activity among local
sportsmen, who are shining up
their fowling pieces, getting their
rubber boots newly vulcanized
and otherwise preparing for the
cold mornings where the wind
blows off the marshlands and
other hideouts of the feathery
creatures which are soon to be
Gin season." as it were.
The creeks Of the Potomac
and main shores thereof are
even now right merry with the
huntsmen building their blinds,
and early Saturday morning the
booming and banging of shot
guns will signal the arrival of
another duck, goose, brant and
coot season. as the various
species go.
Significant of the approaching
waterfowl season, we stumbled
onto one T. Morris Wampler,
who devoteS about 9 months Of
the year to the persuit Of the
legal profession and the remain
ing three months to bringing
down the feathery flock which
frequents his hunting lodge
down the Potomac hard by Po-
monkey Greek, where he already
has established his blinds.
Wampler is inviting his my
Rad friends to participate in
the sport during the approach
ing spell during which the NAL
lard and the canvasback and
redhead are legal prey with the
exception of Sundays, a day off
for hunter and game alike.
From what little this observer
has been able to gather, duck
hunting is one Of the most ex-
pensive sports extant. For the
few days per year the average
man finds time to lay in wait
for the very wary birds indeed,
he pays dearly for his game.
Probably about 10 times what
it would cost him at the market
places, but you can't buy your
sport at any price unless you
submit yourself to the early.
morning getaways and the
hours Of patient ambush and
watching until the game spots
your decoys and swoops down
to fraternize with the painted
limitations.

TODAY'S SPORTORIAL
By Kirk Miller

A few years back we recall
that a Washington prominent
sportsman, one James William
Bryan, promoter Of the Press
Club Building and now engaged
in going Henry Ford one bet
ter by giving the world an
automobile with a wooden ga
rage for the slight amount of
5000, invited a half dozen of
his cronies to spend several
days at his hunting lodge on
Lake Tecumseh, Va, down on
the Atlantic Coast almost to
the Carolina line.
The party travelled very de
luxe from Washington to Nor.
folk in one of Dan j. Gala
hans finest steamers, stopped
over a day in a spacious Nor
folk hotel while the hunting
licenses were being procured,
and getting outfitted in hip
boots and leather jackets, to
say nothing of bright new shot
guns and other paraphernalia a
duck hunter carries, including
some of the fanciest painted
decoys you ever saw in your
life.
Well, sir, we loafed around
Lake Tecumseh three days and
didn't see any more ducks than
you'd meet at the corner of
Pennsylvania Avenue and Four
teenth Street. The. wind or
something wasn't right. The
moon wasn't full or else it was
too full. It was either too warm
or too cool. we forget which,
but the ducks those three days
were down in Carolina or Flor
ida or possibly up on the Susque-
hanna flats.
The gang, which was getting
pretty disgusted by the end Of
three days, decided to move
back to Norfolk and partake
of the Southern hospitality
where at that time they were
making the finest kind Of rye
whiskey out of rye bread. You
could even taste the caraway
seed in that potion and the
bakers down yonder were sell
ing loaves by the dozen to the
amateur distillers.
The result was that duck
hunting was never resumed, on
that trip at least, and even
tually the party eased on up
the Potomac to Washington.
Passing the Georgetown Channel
the river was black with ducks
and right here at our very door
step where you could kill 'em
with a sling shot, were the
birds we'd spent days and days
and days trying to lure within
shooting distance of hunting
blinds 200 miles away.

Once more this super-coach,
Elmer Hardell. is receiving the
congratulations of District school
boy football followers. And well
does the Knute Rockne Of Wash
ington's scholastic world merit
any tribute paid him.
Prior to Hardell's advent as
athletic director at Mckinley,
Central High School enjoyed a
virtual lookup in interhigh series
gridiron warfare. Now the spot
light has shifted to Tech and
seems destined to remain there
for a while.
Since 1925 the Gray has
twice entered q deadlock for
the public high school cham.
pionship. During the past
two seasons it has topped
formidable field rather i'm
presSively.
Hardell's job has been no easy
one. In the. first place. Techs
facilities, over a major portion OF
this stretch, haven't been all they
could be. And again McKinley's
master mind has been forced to
rebuild three elevens during the
past five years.
Techs unexpected rout Of Cen
tral yesterday establishes it as
a favorite to win its third conse-
cutive series title. While Har-
dell's men, on past performances,
were a slight favorite to down
the blue and white. the unex-
pected ease with which the trick
was turned set the $500 present
thinking. -.....
One feature of McKinley's
triumph was the stopping Of
Larry PinCkney, husky Cen
trail fullback. A year ago
this same Pinckney ripped
apart Techs line during
first half drive. Yesterday
he was completely sewed in,
falling before q stout enemy
defense planned by HardeI.
AS is his custom Coach Ty
Rauber, Of Central, accepted de-
feat gracefully. This is said to
be Ty'S last year with Central.
He is resigning his present posi-
tion to practice law at the con-
cluslon Of the present term.
There is no question but what
Rauber had his heart set on
beating Tech. But, a sportsman

During a practice session the
youngster suffered a severe

There Is little chance that Coach

STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN QUIET MARKET
Copper Group Advances on
Increase in Metal Price.
Utilities Gain.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER.
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE stock
market appeared to lack conviction as
to its position at the beginning of the
new week today. Commission houses
were inclined to advocate steering close
to shore until current levels are tested.
Trading was extremely dull and highly
professional. There were sparodic eff
forts to push prices higher, meeting
with moderate success in a few issues,
but there was a distinct tendency to
take quick profits on advances.
Week end trade reports emphasized
moderate gains in retail trade, which
encouraged speculation for the rise In
some of the merchandising issues. The
large scale buying Of copper metal dur
ing the last few days caused an upward
revision of 4 of a cent a pound for the
metal, making the domestic price 1924
cents, which was reflected in further
strength in the copper issues. News from
the petroleum industry was little less
cheerful, as threats of further price cut
ting to force adherence to the curtail-
ment plan on the Pacific Coast were
heard, but the shares in this group
were dull.
On the whole, traders appeared to
feel that the sharp rebound last week
represented only a technical correction
OF an overSold condition reached in the
sharp reaction which came to q climax
q week ago, and that the market again
finds itself on uncertain ground. Specu-
lative sentiment was none to cheerful
the more optimistic quarters holding
that quiet, irregular market may be
expected with selected issues making
substantial progress. while the feeling
in less cheerful circles was that q sus-
tanned rise would have to start from
lower levels. Credit conditions held sta
tionary, with call loans still command
ing 3 per cent. It was felt that the new
Offering Of 800 900 900 In Treasury bills
might cause q slightly firmer tendency
at the end Of the week.
Considerable pressure appeared against
Radio, General Electric and Westing-
house Electric during the early after
noon but losses were limited to point
or two. Market observers were inclined
to link this feeling to the fact that the
Department of Justice is planning to
test the legality Of the new alignment
of these companies, but this fact has
been public knowledge for several days.
u. 8. Steel fiuctuated uncertainty, with
the 216,433-ton reduction in untitled
tonnage during April apparently causing
some liquidation.
Most Of the weak spots in the mar
ket had been repaired by the final
hour and the list began to partake Of
the strength shown by a half dozen
issues in which the floating supply
was well controlled. International Salt
rose over points to new peak. Inger-
soll-Rand gained 5, Coca-Cola Az and
United States Rubber first preferred.
Brooklyn Union Gas, Electric Water
81 Light and Pan-American B rose
8 to az, with the latter moving into
q new high for the year. The closing
was steady. Total sales approximated
3,o50,00 shares.

by Mayor Reuben Musey after a
special meeting of the city council
at which radio dealers and own
ers, representatives Of the Cham
ber of Commerce and others in

The law, which is demanded
by between 1000 and 5000 radio
owners because of general inter
ference with reception in the city,
will be passed at the regular
meeting Of the city council this
month. It was drafted by City
Attorney A. S. Mason and is

COPS COURTESY
COMMENDED

The newly announced police
policy of courtesy in dealing with
the public is commended in a
letter sent today to Major Henry
G.. Pratt, superintendent of Met
ropolitan police, by Mark Lans-
burgh, president of the Washing
ton Merchants and Manufactures
Association.
The associations letter stressed
the fact that courtesy on the
part of the police is perhaps more
important in Washington than
in any other city of the nation.
due to the large number of
visitors who come to Washington
every day. Many of these tour
lists, it is pointed out, travel by
motor and their first contact is
thus with the police.
The suggestion is contained in
the letter that the courtesy pro-
gram inaugurated by the police
could be extended by placing
signs at entrances to the city
welcoming tourists and carrying
a brief summary of traffic rules
which are peculiar to Washington,
especially the method of making
left turns.
