there in the spring and summer
to greet you as you make your
usual rounds of the woods and
dells and fields.
The Potomac marginal lands
on both the Maryland and Vir-
ginia shores are thick with
many species of ducks and the
Government agencies are not
going to be able to reach any
except the principal feeding
grounds.
That means the plain citizens
must interest themselves in
their particular neighborhoods
up and down the Potomac and
over in the Chesapeake Bay
area, as well as throughout the
creeks and tributaries further
back in the States.
Grain and Vegetables
Cracked corn, oats, meal,
bran and barley are all appro-
pirate grains to leave around
for the game, and if you can
only go into this lower animal
and bird relief on a small scale,
a package of puffed rice or
wheat will be bit worth while.
And green vegetable like
spinach, kale, cabbage, lettuce,
onions or carrots will give sus-
tenance to the myriad cotton
tails which abound in the open
country; but I believe any hunts
man will agree that the hare
and squirrels are better equipped
to take care of themselves over
a snow spell, than are the wild.
foul.
Rabbit can exist pretty we'll
on bark and squirrel have a way
of storing their food as against
hard winter days. But the most
priced of game hereabout, the
wild duck, is completely stopped
when ice covers the ponds, pre-
venting the divers from going
under water for their food and
the floaters from taking it off
the surface.
Concentrates on Ducks
It is the latter group which
the Government is trying to
tide over the current emergency
by scattering grain near the
edge Of the ice along the banks
where both surface and under.
water feeders will find it, and
often, if hungry enough, ap.
proach the good Samaritan on
shore who is scattering the daily
mama.
Izaak Waltons expect to lend
a shoulder to this wild life feed
ing tomorrow throughout the
hauntS Of the denizens of the
wild, and each morning until
the emergency is over will find
little groups of them on their
merciful missions at an early
hour.
Down in Alexandria Judge
William Snow, of the Virginia
Game Conservation Commission,
is experimenting the work of
distribution of food for the wild
foul regions as far down the
Potomac as Mount Vernon. Sol
diers at Fort Hunt and Fort
Humphreys are helping as are
many citizens, particularly those
who hunt and know the retreats
of the game.

ball points are needed for his
Eastern High team.
It was like that yesterday when
the Lincoln Parkers defeated
Tech High, 25-22, at Roosevelt
in easily the most exciting game
of the interhigh race, also the
most important contest of the
series thus far.
Moved Slowly
He moved around slowly. He
took his time getting into the
action. But when he did get
started he made all of the other
players on the floor look like
novices.
The lads greatest work came
during the last four minutes of
the game. Tech had been a most
stubborn foe all afternoon and at
this particular moment the score
was tied, II to II.
Taking a pass from Gay Edelin,

mere was that stay in Chicago
last summer when Heinie and
Johnnie were not talking. 1t was
quite embarrassing for the reason
that mutual friends invited them
home to dinner. Both accepted
on behalf of the other. But then
arose the problem. How was each
to let the other know about the
date. So in the dressing room
Manush turned to Bolton and
said:
"If 1 wasn't so sore at that
little Ounce, I'd let him know
that we're expected at Joe
Blanks house tonight"
Everyone Hears Blast
Kerr forthwith turned to Luke
Sewell and beloved so that every
one could hear:
"If that Manush wasn't so
dumb and stupid I'd tell him
that we're going to Mike Whoziz
house tomorrow"
Well, everyone roared laughing,
including Manush and Kerr. They
shook hands and went to their din,
ner dates.

player, but the rabbit will 60 we'll

that, strange as it may seem, re.
suited in one of the silliest double
plays ever registered.
Wow! Three Hits in Row
Times being what they were
with the Griffs last summer, even
one run was welcome, and two
hits constituted batting rally.
Well, the team was trailing as
usual when Fred Schultz opened
with a base hit. Pete Susko also
hit safely and then Kerr cracked
one down the third-base line. The
ball hit the bag and rolled out of
Moulden's reach.
All motion ceased for a second,
and then, to the amazement of
the White Sox and the consterna.
ton OF the Griffmen, Susko
started running for third base
while Moulden stood there with
the ball in his hands.
GO back" rOared Schultz on
third.
"Come back" implored Kerr
on first.
Gimme a rifIe," pleaded AL
Schacht on the third-base lire,
Susko plunged blindly along, ig.
noring pleadings and imprecations
impartially. In the flash of a
hand the White Sox made double
play and emerged from their pre-.
dlcament with flying colors.
Little "Suskonence"
Kerr then made one of the
prize statements Of baseball. He
met AL Schacht in midfield as
Kerr walked to third base and AL
"eturned to the bench.
"Al," said SchOzzOIa, shaking
his head, there is very little
suskonence in this guy Susko."

vices, Weaver has greatly i'm.
proceed in health since the season
ended. He has picked up a little
weight. If this is true, it will be
a great thing for the club and also
for Weaver.
We may expect the rest of the
boys to fall in line before many
days elapSe now. First call for the
trip South will be sounded in a few
weeks, and whether the players are
willing to admit it or not, they
doubtless are oiling the old glove
and grinding down the old spikes
for the grand exodus from the cold
and snow of the North country.
Opportunity Beckons
There's one little feature con-
corning the training trip of the
Griffmen that carries an appeal of
it's own. Seldom has this writer
known of a year when opportunity
fairly thundered at the doors of
the young pitchers. If they have
anything on the ball worth no
ticing. they are in line for a job.
Griffith must gamble on youth
where age and experience have
failed.
One of the boasts of Paul
Krichell, now scout for the New
York Yankees. is that he got hit
off Babe Ruth, the day the BAN
bino pitched his first game Of
league baseball. Ruth hurled for
the Baltimore Orioles on April %,
1914, against Buffalo. Krichell
caught for the Bisons. Krichell's
wallop was double, and despite
the fact that Bisons were shut out.
Krichell considers his day well
spent.

END.
! Despite the sacks of grain
which the endowed govern
mental agencies are distributing
every morning before a lot of us
are out of our steam-heated
shelters, there is still a great
good that the citizens can &C.
complish by going into the open
places betimes and scattering
food for quail and rabbits and
squirrels.
So this, my friends, may be
considered an appeal to all of
you who feel in the mood, to
drop by the nearest store and
pick up some kind of grain or
green vegetable and scatter it
along those haunts where you

Georgetown's hopes of victory
