TUNNY things happen in golf.
l. Take Arthur Dunlaps shot at
the seventeenth hole at Wash
L ington, for example. Arthur had
hooked his second shot behind the big
trap at the left. He intended to play a
cozy little pitch across the trap down
to the pin, the idea being that the
green was so soft the ball would stick
where it hit. But he hit behind the pill
and it trickled down into the trap.
The darned thing was still rolling in
the sand when Arthur tossed his club
down at it, not in anger but in disgust
that he should muff such an easy shot.
The blade of the tossed club hit that
ball so true a smack that the pill rolled
over the face of the trap, down a slope
and smack into the cup. And then the
argument started. They finally ruled
that inasmuch as the club wasn't in
Arthur's hands when it struck the ball,
ana as the ball was rolling when hit,
the shot couldn't count.
But you'll see such Il. shot only
once in a lifetime, legal or not.
Then there we're Dr.. Calvert T..
Bucks seven straight one-putt greens
over the same Washington course,
where more Winter golf is played than
a. any club around the Capital. Wash
ington has a group of between 20 and
80 golfers who play nearly every day.
Where you'll find dozen at Columbia
or Congressional or Chevy Chase
Manor, you'll find Is or more at Wash
ington. The reason is the course dries
ou. so fast and most of the holes are
so protected from wind that Winter
golf seems to be better at the Wash
ington course That, and the COM
parative shortness of it, which appeals
to human vanity.
DR.. Buck used one putt on
seven straight greens, beginning
at the ninth and ending at the
fifteenth.
He played that stretch in level par,
once getting bird and once going over
par. He used only 20 puts for the
round of rs. When you consider that
Winter green's are bumpy and rough,
that's quite a stretch Of putting. But,
then, DR.. Buck always could putt. Cal
vert Dickey will testify to that. He and
Buck have some warm matches every
time they get together.

= T WOULD seem that all the Fet

TT WOULD seem that all the Fed
eral regulations and restrictions
which surround the sportsmen,
L coupled with high license fees,
duck stamps, local laws and posted
territory, would keep the number of
waterfowl hunters down. 1t was logi-
cal to assume as much and We did so
until We started delving around the
Biological Survey in search of figures
to bear out our contention.
1t surprised us very much. and We
believe it will surprise you, to learn
that more duck hunters went out dur.
ing the late but unlamented season
than ever went into the field since the
duck stamp was inaugurated. The sale
of duck stamps is one very certain
way of counting the number of duck
hunters. serving the double purpose of
a census and a method of raising
money.
Up TO the end OF December,
1896, the latest date for which
figures are available, 4S9,978
duck stamps were sold.
Even these incomplete figures top
the 446,9ls stamps sold during the
l935-1936 season. The 1884 stamp
was the first Of its kind offered for
sale, and 635,344 were sold, but il
must be remembered that very many
Of these were bought by stamp and
curio collectors who had no interest
in hunting and merely wanted to add
to their collections. Not less than 90
per cent of the proceeds of these
stamps must be turned over to the
Biological Survey for establishing
maintaining and administering migra-
tory bird refugees.

Ninety-Day Season Helps.

Ofhcials of the bureau attribute this
increase in hunters to several
sources. To begin with. there were
three zones this time instead of two.
Each had S0-day season, with very
little overlapping, so in reality there
was shooting for nearly 80 days in
stead of the usual 60-day period. A
sportsman living in the central zone
could find hunting within days driv-
ing distance for nearly 90 days, and
many took opportunity of this.
The business revival also had
something to do with it; more
hunters had the necessary
money to invest in equipment
and licenses and could spare the
necessary time from their offices.
And then there were the oppor-
tunists who figured that this would be
one OF the last seasons in which there
would be any likelihood of them get
ting reasonable number of ducks,
and they went out to get theirs while
the getting was good.
Whatever the reason, the fact re-
mains that more hunters went after
ducks this season. In fact, during the
last few years all types of hunting
has shown an increase if the number
of licenses sold is any indication.
Complete figures for 1885 show 5,918,-
045 resident and nonresident licenses
sold all over the United States, an
increase of approximately 10000 over
the previous year.
The increase doesn't seem to be con-
fined to any one locality or section.
States in all parts of the country
report increased sale of licenses,
stamps and equipment.
