HUNTERS SEEK
 NEW SEASONS

SEATTLE, Dec. 29. - Congress man Mon C. Wallgren of Everett announced he is prepared to lead fight in behalf of Washington duck hunters for a revision of sea- sonal hunting regulations which would give them reasonable op- portunity to secure birds.
 The Congressman pictured the duck season just closed as one of the most disastrous ever exper- fenced by the hunters of this re- zion.
 To launch a movement to remedy this situation, Congressman Wall gren proposed a meeting of sports men to draw up recommendations for revision of the existing regu- lations.
 There are plenty of ducks and geese,' he explained, but the thirty day limit established two years ago by the U. S. Biological Survey has proved ruinously inadequate for the hunter.
 If recommendations, backed by the unanimous opinion of Washing ton sportsmen are presented to me, he declared, T will go before the Biological Survey and make every effort to have them accepted"

Claimant Loses Suit
 As Mae West Husband

NEW YORK, Dec. 29. = Frank Wallace, who has sought in the New York courts to prove himself the husband of Mae West. lost his case when Supreme Court Justice Joseph M Callahan granted an order vacating the serving of a summons on Miss West.
 The actress contended that she was not a legal resident of New York and that therefore the service was illegal. Justice Callahan used Wallace's own assertions in support of his decision. pointing out that the plaintiff admitted he and Miss West had been separated for many years.
 Wallace's suit, therefore, is of no value to him in the New York courts and his only apparent re- course is to bring a similar action in California.

TEXAS LEAGUE
 RETAINS BUGS

GALVESTON, Tex, Dec. 29. - Galveston will retain it's franchise in the Texas League and the Buc- cancers will be completely reor- ganized, it has been announced by Rev. J. Koehler, acting president of the Galveston Baseball Asso- citation
 Stockholders of the club met with executors of the estate of the late Shearn Moody and local business men in several conferences with the outcome that Shreveport's bid, made by w. D. Burnett of Glade water, definitely was rejected, and assurance given that the franchise would be kept here.
 Partial success of the ticket-sell- ing campaign, which had the sale of 1000 books as it's objective, and would assure an attendance of CO., GOO for the 1887 season, convinced stockholders that the goal could be attained with several more weeks of work, Koehler said, and they decided to keep the franchise on the strength of this belief. Approxi- mately 400 of the books have been sold, and a committee of business men is to be formed immediately to try to dispose of the remaining 600 books.
 Koehler and Jackie Atz, manager of the Buccaneers during the last half of the season, went to the mil nor league meeting at Montreal Two outfielders, a catcher, one more seasoned pitcher to go with Ed Cole, Orville Armbrust and Beryl Richmond, and three outfielders are sought by Koehler.

By ORLO ROBERTSON

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-A pair of 3-year-olds, little known at the start of the year, wrote 1886 turf history with feats so dramatic that the per formance of other great thorough breds faded in the dusty wake of their flying hooves.
 Bold Venture, survivor of a fire at a 2-year-old, figured in two of racing's most dramatic finishes, capturing the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness flying the silks of Morton L. Schwartz. The bay son of St. Germans survived a great stretch drive by J. E. Widen's high ly-regarded Brevity to win the roughly ridden Derby. He came from behind to whip William Wood wards Granville by nose in the Preakness and then was forced into retirement with a bowed tendon.
 Granville, after tossing his rider in the Derby and lowing to Bold Venture in the Preakness, came back to rule the 3-year-old division and chalk up an impressive triumph over Alfred c. Vanderbilt's Discov- cry in the mile-and-three-quarters of the Saratoga Cup.
 Following much the same trail blazed by his great sire, Gallant Fox, six years ago, Granville piled up an enviable record of seven tri- umphs, including victories in the Belmont Stakes and Arlington Clas- sic, and three seconds in ten starts to earn acclaim as the horse of the year. Never more than nose back at the finish, the Woodward ace failed only in the Wood Memorial, when he lost to Teciel, a stable mate, the Suburban Handicap, in which he trailed Walter M. Jeffords' Firethorn, and the Preakness.
 After battling his way to the top of the money winning list, with ear nings totaling sl10,295, Granville followed Bold Venture to the side lines as the result of a leg injury. Brevity, winner of the Florida Der by in what was then world-equaling time of 1:48 Is for mile and an eighth, retired after trailing Ogden Phipps' White Cockade in the With CTS Mile at Belmont Park.
 Jacobs Sets Trainers Mark
 While Granville and Bold Venture were capturing the fancy of the rac- ing public as few horses have in re- cent years, J. H. Louchheim's Pom poon won general recognition as the standout 2-year-old of the year. Dis covery lost his position as undisput- ed king of the handicap division. Hirsch Jacobs hung up new Amer ican record for trainers in winning the title for the fourth straight year, Mrs Ethel " Mars, owner of the Milky Way farm of Chicago, supp planted Vanderbilt as the leading

proving the present rule on inter ference with forward passes may be advanced for the good of foot ball, but, in too many cases, one can smell rat" It's the old quarrel. The coach whose team lost an important game when some official ruled interference against che of his players wants defending backs to have more latitude in warding off pass attacks. On the other hand, you hear no complaint from the coach on the other side of the fence. He is perfectly satis- fled, and feels that the receiver should be protected
 It's the same way with many ether suggestions for changes in the rules. It looks very much as though the rules committee is go- ing to find itself with a bumper crop of changes to consider. Prac- tically every coach in the country has pet piece of football legisla- tion he would like to see enacted Probably because at some time or other he felt the sting of an of- ficial ruling which did not sit so well
 Just glance over some of the changes suggested by prominent coaches:
 There is, as usual, a demand from several quarters that the point after touchdown be abolished CThat one never fails to come up) Of course, it comes from coaches who lost games by the slim margin of a single point. One enterprising tutor would count first downs as a substitute for the point after touchdown.
 Wants Laterals Watched
 Others insist that the 15-yaro penalty for failure to pause for a full second before putting the ball into play after shifting is too se- were. It should be reduced to five yards, they argue, and plenty of officials back them up. Coaches who felt that their teams suffered when officials were lax in enforcing the rule think 15 yards is a fair penalty and want to see the present rule rigidly enforced.
 Some would have the goal posts returned to the goal line. It shouldn't be necessary to add that they very likely have capable field goal kickers and want to see that phase of the game encouraged Even at the risk of injury to the players.
 One coach, whose team had con- siderable difficulty trying to cope with lateral passes, would like to see a fifth official on the field | whose sole duty would be to watch lateral-pass plays. The coach is tof the opinion that at least half of the laterals attempted are il- legal.
 Another coach with a small squad would like unlimited substitutions permitted so that his boys could compete on more even basis with the big squads. Allowing a team to take time out without restric- tions likewise would help the small CT squads, he contends.
 Favors Wider Field
 The fellow who wants to change the size of the playing field is here again. This year he would widen it some 30 feet, bringing the. width of the gridiron to 190 feet. The same chap suggests that the ball be brought in Is feet from the sidelines, instead of 10 as at pres ent, to give the offense more elbow room.
 Among other suggestions is one that the recovery of a loose ball behind the goal-line be made a touchback, irrespective of whic h team recovers; that identifying numerals on players chests be mandatory; that the rule regard ing the kicking of free ball be clarified, and so on and on.

Resumption of Conference Bowling Sees West Point,
 M.I.T., Manhattan Win

Coming together again at the Elks last night after the Christmas layoff, the conference wlers brought with them plenty of the spirit of battle, none of last even ing's matches being decided nntll well along in the third game.
 Exceptionally high scores were missing last night, but Bob Brown, rolling a. lone hand for Carnegie Tech, turned in good country total of 537; which led the field but was not quite match for the combined efforts of the West Point trio.
 In the opening match, Paul Kegel of Annapolis, rolled POS in the final and deciding game of the tilt against M. I. T. to beat by five pins the 203 game rolled by L. E.. Iverson, the Engineers leader. But, nevertheless, the Engineers over came the Navy lead to grab the match from the Middies.
 The final match was featured by the two-century game rolled by Mrs. Arthur Bringdale, as she and Carey Tubbs battled through to a win for Manhattan over Bow doin.

money winning owner, and Basil James of Sunnyside, Wash, topped the jockeys.
 Pompoon, son of the speedy Pompey, met defeat only twice in eight starts in earning $62,260. He bowed to Mary Hirsch's No Sir in his lone start at Saratoga, came back to whip the Nations best in the Belmont Futurity and then lost to Mrs. Mars Reaping Reward in the rich New England Futurity.
 Mrs. Mars Case Ace might have offered Pompoon an argument, but he was forced to retire after win ming the Arlington Futurity. De- witt Pope's Maedic piled up the fine record of winning five straight stakes at Saratoga, including the Hopeful. but was considered strictly a mud runner. Reaping Reward followed up his New England vic- tory with triumph in the Jockey Club stakes at Churchill Downs and, as result, probably will be well backed in the 1937 Kentucky Derby future books along with Jeff lords Matey, victor in the Pimlico Futurity.
 Discovery Slips
 Discovery, heavily weighted in ev- cry race, won only $34,790 in taking six of his IA starts before finishing his 4-year campaign. As the result, he was forced to share honors with A. A. Baroni's Top Row, winner of the $l00,000 Santa Anita Handicap in one of his two stars, Mrs. F. A. Carreauds Time Supply, and FL wood Sachenmaier's Roman Soldier.
 Jacobs, the former pigeon fancier from Brooklyn, enjoyed his greatest year on the turf Before the start of the Florida season, he had sad dled 167 winners, to surpass the old record of 147 set by c. B. Cowboy Irwin 13 years ago. Chief among Jacobs developments of the year was Action, the reformed platter for which he paid $1 900 in the Spring. The 7-year-old gelding moved up from the ranks of selling platers to the handicap division in winning 10 of his 12 starts, eight of them in row.
 Mrs Mars, who invested more than $l00000 in yearlings at Sara toga for the second straight year, failed by nearly that amount in equaling Vanderbilt's mark of year ago, but won $2O5,450. Vanderbilts horses accounted for $159,545 to take second place.
