For several weeks the sportsmen
of Sank Centre and Melrose have
been waging a crow, owl and hawk

Melrose Sportsmen's Club, Big
Birch Lake, at time to be decid-
ed upon after the close of the con-
test, which was Sunday evening.
Numbers of those taking part in
the contest were not limited. It was
the total number of birds which
counted. A few days before the
close Of the contest Sank Centre
was reported to have a lead of
about so points or so crows.
But the shifty Melrose gang had
coveys of birds up their sleeves.
When all precincts were heard from
Melrose had 1.273 points and Sank
Centre 1,029.
Game Wardens Fred Mosman and
Joseph Vornbrock captained the
two teams.
George Gerges, Melrose. had high
score of 401 points; Gust Spaeth,
Melrose, was second with 401
points: DR.. A. A. Gales, Sank Gen.
tire. was third with 152 points.
The totals showed .764 crows, 153
hawks and 20 owls were exterminat-
ed during the contest.
