n TAMP collectors are to have
a chance to do their bit for
wild life conservation. They
- may not be interested in
shooting migratory wild fowl,
but they will want the new 81
duck hunters license stamp and
a way has been provided Tor
them to purchase 1t.
J. N. Darling. chief Of the Bureau
OF Biological Survey. better known to
millions as the cartoonist Ding"
yesterday explained the problem and
its solution. "In order to avoid the
interchange OF stamps between sports
men," he said. 'the law was so
drawn that 1t compelled the postmas-
ter to paste the stamp on q duck
hunters license, and that require
ment has caused considerable con-
fusion among those who have wished
to get the stamp for collection pur-
poses or as souvenirs.
"A method, however. Is provided
for the purchase Of stamps by those
who do not indulge in hunting migra-
tory water fowl. and those who care
to buy stamps for any purpose other
than to use them on their hunting
licenses may do so by applying to a
postmaster and signing certificate,
which he will have available. saying
that they are not required to have a
hunting license, and the postmaster
may then sell each such applicant q
stamp"
Phrased In philatelic terms. this
technique Of purchase would work out
as follows: The collector goes to the
postmaster. explains that he wishes
duck stamp for philatetc use and
not for hunting, signs the certificate
pays the fun face value and receives
back the certificate with the stamp
affixed. The specimen may go into
his album on the certificate or it may
be removed and entered in the book
in the usual way.
Mr.. Darling approved this method,
and Post ONCE Department and city
post office officials Endorsed it. The
stamp win be issued soon after Au-
gust is.

Richard K. Mellon suddenly last week
created two enormous splashes with
their announcements Of the forth
coming Southampton. Long Island.
and Rolling Rock, Pa, meetings.
Trainers popped their eyes and be-
gan figuring horses for courses. Those
romantic fellows, the amateur riders,
resolved to think less about moonlight
and four roses and settled down to
training. Owners smiled in dreamy
anticipation of the glory and approx
mately 5000 to be distributed at
Southampton on September ], at
Rolling Rock on October 8.
Southampton promises five races
and $4,000 in purses. Rolling Rock, a
newcomer to the growing ranks of
hunt racing, plans four events with
81, 900 in rewards. The latter card is
set just three days prior to the estab-
lished meet at Greensburg, Pa, where
81, 700 has been posted to lure the
talent from Virginia, Maryland and
elsewhere.
Braeed by three $500 purses, q s., 900
timber race and one $40o event, the
card should prove one Of the strongest
in the Eastern horse world. The
schedule calls for one fat trial, two
over brush and two over timber. In
the brush races, either professionals
or amateurs may ride. The others
are restricted to amateurs.
Here are the conditions of the tests,
expected to draw powerful representa-
ton from the famous Topper stables
Of nearby Virginia and Maryland:

READILY AGREES

Jimmy, Wealthy, Likely to

Fails This Time.
BY SPARROW McGANN.

n YEw YORK, August A.
nj Barney Ross is serenely
" confident he can whip
Jimmy McLarnin in a re-
turn match. Otherwise he would
not willingly sign TO fight the
Irishman on September 8 at the
latter's best weight, lat pounds.
AS the champion, Barney could
dictate terms. As the challenger,
Ross held OF until Pop Foster agreed
to let Jimmy come In at l4B pounds.
The result Of that fight is past his
tory. What Barney learned In that
meeting undoubtedly convinced him
he could whip Jimmy at any weight.
McLarnin was OF in his timing.
His left hook and right cross fell
short OF the mark time and again.
This was due to his long absence from
actual ring competition. Then, again,
he grew very tired in the closing,
rounds, clearly proving that he was,
considerably weakened by scalingl
down to l42 pounds.
Ross Fought with Head.
n TcLARNIN went into the ring
lV confident he could put over
the finisher In about i've
rounds. This was apparent in the
way he carried the fight to his rival
Barney did not elect to swap blows
and, being on the defensive, he was
able TO ward of Jimmy's thrusts and
tie him up effectively until he started
to do some work on his own account.
1t was good strategy, and Ross won,
though there are many who thought
Jimmy had the edge.
While Pop Foster has been IN this
city arranging q return match
Jimmy has been in strict training at
Oakland, Calf.
Knowing the pride Of the Irishman,
who had to meet all Corners in various
classes for 10 years before he won q
world title, it Is ssfe to wager that
Jimmy win not be short when he tees
the mark against his conqueror next
month. If Barney Is good enough to
repeat there win be nothing for
Jimmy to do but hang up his gloves.
He has plenty Of money saved up and
does not have TO tarry in the boxing
game. Jimmy wants to be married
as world champion or as q retired
fighter.
