TRACK AND FLAG
HUNT FROM
RUSSIA
By HARRY COSTELLO

What is tracking and flag
ging' in the sport of hunting,
and what is its Origin?" queries
a member of the Riding ind
Hunt Club of Washington.
Tracking and Flagging" was
form of wolf hunting, and had
its origin, undoubtedly, in Russia.
In Southern and Central Rus
sia wolves travelled in packs. In
North European Russia, however,
rarely did wolves travel other
than singly, or in groups of two
or three.
Up to the World War, the coun-
try north of st. Petersburg was
preserved by shooting clubs.
Those men and women who were
to participate in the track and
flag hunt as a rule would as
semble the night before the hunt
at one of the fashionable hunting
lodges. The tracker, generally q
professional expert, would lay out
the bait (padaD usually the car
cass of a horse or COW, to attract
carnivorouS game.
The best time for a hunt of
this kind was after "poroSha"
Ca fresh fall of snow during the
night.
Sent Out at Dawn
At dawn the tracker was sent
out to the "padal." He returned
with a report and if signs of
wolves we're around the "padal,"
the hunt started.
The trackers we're generally on
snowshoes. The lady and gentle
men hunters were mounted,
usually.
The trackers would follow
spoor until it was established
that the quarry generally, as
stated, v wolff had entered a
covert fl4om which he had not
emfTssa: @Flsgaine then proceeded. The
'-flag-1lne" cof1sfsted of a length
of stout cord, generally a mile
and half long. On this cord
at intervals of about 10 or II
feet were piece of bunting flags)
of various bright colors. The
flags were about one foot square.
Keepers on snow shoes would
run a circle hitching the flag
line to trees and bushes, about a
foot and a half to two feet from
the ground. The flag-line was so
strung that it completed circle
all but about so yards. Outside
this 50-yard "gap" the lady ana
gentlemen hunters would station
themselves.
The wolf, turned back by the
flag line, would ultimately find
the gap" and rush to it for exit.
There he would be covered by the
guns.
so Yard Gap
A skillful "tracker and flagman
would contrive to bring out the
gap the craftiest fox or the shy
est elk, from a ring a mile and a
half in circumference, onto a sim
gle gun covering the 50-yard gap.
Andrei Karlitch, in Russia, was
considered most successful
tracker and flagman when well
beyond 60 years of age, according
to the great English sportsman,
A. G. Hulme-Beaman, who wrote
extensively on this particular form
of hunting.
Tracking and tagging was very
often employed in fox hunting in
Russia.
It behooves the gun to preserve
the most absolute silence, and he
often waits through hours of 81
lence before the quarry breaks
cover at the gap.

Bowen he has been training faith

Ryan'S gymnasium on Ninth St.
Jack Portney, greatest Jewish
lightweight developed in Balti

yesterday. Not only did Jack pre-
dict a knockout victory over
Jacobs. but he declared he would

"Of course, I'm getting along
pretty good without a cham

but the folks back home have
never seen one of these dew
dabS and would like to get
the lightweight title Tony has
and show it to the folks and
say: Folks, here it is. and it
belongs in our family now"
Says BattalinO Tough
Concerning Battalino, whose
future he perhaps wrecked by
dealing out the most frightful
beating any man has taken in
New York ring in years
Petrolle said:
"He certainly was a tough
egg to crack. That style of his
makes it hard for anybody to
nail on the chin. He keeps
those gloves up so high. 1
wasn't in there very long before
1 realized that the way to win
was to use punches, mostly
uppercuts. So those were the
kind Bat got"
The story of the fight is the
very simple one of a master,
crafty and brainy. meeting some
one who had little more than
courage, a rugged body and stout
fighting heart to recommend
him. Petrolle, early sensing that
Battalino meant to keep the
vital parts of his jaw covered at
any cost, was never trapped into
long swings. His shots were short
joltS-most of them uppercuts-
and with one of those he split
open the Battalino nose in the
second.
Fans Shrink at Blood
From then to the end, the be-
ginning of every round would
find Petrolle shooting for the
nose, breaking it open again, pro-
fuse bleeding, clincheS-and then
both bodies would be smeared
with crimson. 1t was a ghastly
sight and some persons, who
shrink from blood, left the arena.
Battalino came in, swinging
with both hands-wide open in
the twelfth. Petrolle swung per
fectly, hit perfectly. Pile-driver
shots, travelling with speed OF
light, one blow. another and an
other, rained upon Battalino-and
then mercifully the referee pushed
Petrolle aside and that was the
end.
