Gated recently they would ask Congress

ANU. S. Hunting Ground Ain,
Baer, Hoof-and-C Groom Artist, :
Feels He Can 'sTake" Carnera
On Showing in Flicker Fight

Max's current daily routine Is some
thing like this:
Rising at am. and reporting to
the theater at $3.50 for practice
Rassling innumerable times with
can OF. grease paint and eyebrow
pencils.
Hoofing with a quartet of chorus
gals on each arm four times day.
Grooming into a helpful micro
phone with each appearance.
Appearing in court as defendant
in either heart-balm suit or q
speeding charge, or both.
Miscellaneous activities (eating,
sleeping, autographing, etc.)
Max is knocking down a cool $500
for his week at the Fox, but after his
appearance here and one week each in
Brooklyn and Baltimore the Livermore
Larruper will terminate his stage activ-
tiles and trek to California, not for an
other picture, but for an honest-to-
goodness session Of training on a ranch
which he owns. Radio will be the only
other sideline during this time, he says
weekly program with Max as the hero
OF life story Of a pug will be sponsored
by well-knoWn concern.
Doing Well Financially.
ONCE he pinned back the ears Of
y Max Schmeling the kinky-haired
Baer has done right well by himself
financially. At. Hollywood, where he
alternately clutched the charming
Myrna 10y and the colossal Camera he
received $4,000 a week. In New York,
where he worked overtime in a night
club and on the stage, he got 5000
bucks. $4,000 from each. No wonder he
can put up with a sizeable increase in
mis- girth and dark shadows under his
eyes. Carnera only got $500 for win
ming the world championship
The heavyweight championship situa-
ton may be cleared up somewhat right
here In town next week for Jack Demp-
eey armed with an iron-clad option on
Baer's services, will arrive from Los
Angeles Monday for confab with Baer
and Manager Ancil Hoffman before
proceeding to Gotham to find out what
can be done about Carnera-Baer bout
Both Dempsey and Hoffman, who
spoke for Baer after Max finally was
led to bed last night at the unbelievable
hour of 7:45 pm, think the proposed
Miami affair between Tommy Loughran
and Camera is just so much Florida
publicity" The harried Mr.. Hoffman
expressed this view last night and this
morning an Associated Press dispatch
said the same thing for Dempsey, who
was leaving California.
Hoffman, disregarding reminders that
Loughran whipped Mrs. Baer's little
boy Max in decisive fashion, vouchSafed
that the old Philadelphia Phantom was
definitely washed up. Dempsey's re-
mark was, IF Camera really Is going
to fight Loughran then he'll be free to
fight Baer this Summer for me-pro-
viding he wins"
Mr.. Baer also had some opinions that
should redden the visages of our own
Messrs. Red Barry and Marty Gala
CHER. He was asked for them, though,
and the only sufferers are Messrs
Barry, who is terrible" and Gallagher,
who used to be pretty good"

Committee Organized.

TINE committee named by Secretary
Wallace includes Thomas H. Beck
of Wilton, Conn, editorial direc-
tor of Golfers, chairman; Aldo Leopold
head of the department Of wild life
conservation of the University of Wis
consin, and j. N. Darling, newspaper
cartoonist. These men will meet here
to discuss the plan, which will put sew
eral thousand men to work Immediately
and provide rural employment for
much larger number, at the same time
providing for increased sport for the
huntsmen of the country in the form
of more game and better game cover
and feed.
1t is proposed that millions of acres
of land which will be taken out of farm
production in the administrations pro-
gram of diversion of marginal farm
lands be turned over to the propagation
Of game, providing the farmers with a
new source of income and giving
recreation to millions.
1t is proposed that such projects as
creation of new water areas in the duck
breeding country, restoration of drained
lands Improbable to farmers, renewing
Of natural foods supplies, cover and
nesting sites, and protection of birds
from natural enemies be undertaken.
Other activities would be fencing,
Patroling game refugees ard prevention
of diseases which have attacked many
game birds.
Sportsmen, duck hunters particularly,
have been literally crying for years over
the duck situation, while Federal officials
have adopted restriction after restriction
in an effort to restore the duck popula-
tion to its old-time status. The cause
has been vast and uncontrolled drainage
of the duck breeding areas in the north
western part of the United States and
the southwestern portion of Canada,
accompanied by other uneconomic farm
ing practices and topped by devastating
30 years. The natural elements have
taken many times as many ducks as the
Sportsmen's guns.

S1S,O()D,O)O PLAN
Federal Project for Game
Bird Propagation, Would
Employ Thousands.
BY ARMISTEAD w. GILLIAN.

DLANs for a gigantic and
- all-embracing ram
L aimed to bring inestimable
benefit to the sportsman
who goes afleld or into the duck
blind, will be discussed at a
meeting here tomorrow of the
newly created committee named
by the Department of Agricul-
ture, with the approval of the
President, to work out a project
for enlarging the areas on which
migratory and upland game birds
can be propagated.
The program, which is assured of
final approval by the interest OF the
White House in it, proposes to put the
Federal Government for the first time
into the actual breeding of game birds
for huntsmen and will be hailed by the
more than $4,000, 900 hunters throughout
the Nation.
1t is proposed to finance the plan with
S18,0O0,000 of public works money, OF
which S12,0OO,OO0 would be devoted to
restoration Of migratory birds, cnle1y
water fowl, and the remainder put into
the upland game work
The repayment of this money to the
Federal Government would be accom-
plished, Secretary Wallace suggests, by
a Federal hunting license of 81 for
shooting migratory birds, a tax Of 10
cents box on shells used in field shoot
ing and plan whereby 70 per cent of
any Federal advance for any State
project would be finally returned either
through bonds or from increased reve-
nues accruing to the State as result of
Federal aid.

~ NE hitherto locally unpub-
lished angle about this Max
\ millian Adelbert Baer fella
who Is currently committing
hoof f-and-croon act on the stage OF
Loew's Fox, is that feminine America s
new big heart throb still remembers
enough fight jargon to explain just how
and why he will batter Primo Carnera

next Summer for Jack Dempsey" Gem

1t seems that, contrary to what has
appeared in the public prints. the big

enough about the Italian blimp in
Hollywood to knock him loose from his

Baer actually says this, and all the

pure and unadulterated baloney

to speak of the fight game now, but

BOUCHER ADVANCING
AS COACH OF HOCKEY
Wins Respect Of National League
Teams by Lifting Ottawa
Out of Ruck.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 5.-A Natural
IN conclusion reached after a review
of recent happenings In the Ma
tional Hockey League is that George
(Buck) Boucher, who played the game
long enough to know all about it. Is
rapidly developing into one Of the out
standing managers and coaches in the
circuit.
"Old Buck" started the current sea-
son with a group of players who hadn't
been able to lift the Ottawa Senators
out Of the cellar last year and by dill
gent trading, smart picking Of rookie
prospects and expert coaching has built
up a team which appears like a real
threat to the Canadian division leaders.
The Boston Bruins, who took a 80
licking from the Senators, might say
they were even more than a threat.

Seen Aid to Farmer.

Seen Aid to Farmer.
TT IS pointed out that one or more
species of game bird can be pro-
duced on farm land in every State
in the Union, with only slight modifi-
cation of present agricultural practices
on most farms. These game birds, Wal
lace emphasizes, are an annual cash
crop, which should yield the farmer at
least enough to pay his taxes and in
many instances considerably more.
Put into operation" said Wallace,
"this plan would give immediate en-
ployment to approximately 1000 men
IN private industry Commercial game
farming) and would result in increased
employment in concerns manufacturing
and selling sporting arms, ammunition
and equipment, outdoor clothing and
TRANSPORTATION of all kinds. 1t would
materially increase the consumption of
grains used in game feed, chiefly wheat
and corn"
Another great factor. of the program
is the eventual stretching out, all over
the country, of the shooting season
with more game available. Present
short seasons, which do not allow the
huntSman to get out more than a very
few times a year, would be stretched
throughout the Winter and would bring
the healthful sport of hunting within
the leisure time reach of thousands
maybe millions, who do not now en-
gage in this sport because of the cost
both in valuable time and in money.
