Hunting i AGf&R R2E7 On

and intelligent, must be trained
carefully and wisely. It's a tedl-
Gus process. Just as soon as the
dog outgrows puppyhood, that's at
four or five months, the master
must start training it.
He pairs off the rookie with an
oldster who knows all the tricks
and lets them flush the game.
However, young dogs don't hold
their pose long, eager to chase the
birds and must be whipped though
not severely to teach them to
hold their position until the mas
ter calls them. Trained bird dogs
have been known to hold a pose
until they dropped from exhauS-
ton.
A bird dog, once it has caught
the scent of a bird, will advance
to within five or six feet and then
freeze into an immobile statue
with its tail in the air and re.
main that way until its master
calls it off.
PAINSTAK1NG TASK
But to train a dog to this point
is a painstaking task requiring
almost daily trials for a whole
season. A bird dog seldom learns
enough to be very useful the first
year.
Once a dog is thoroughly
trained it is a fascinating pastime
to watch him work a field, ano
point birds out in dense hidine
places, even though you may not
be able to shoot them. WaHJ
gets as much kick out Of helping
his brother-in.law train the dog:
as he will out of the actual hunt
ing.
When the hunting season come!
Wally goes to the dogs and he ao
vises all other hunters to do I'M
same.
Well. happy dog days to you.

Ace Golfer
Holds Two
Stroke Lead
FINAL HOLES
By CHICK KENNY

Witty Cox, Kenwood Golf and
County Club pro, today started
the final Sc holes of the current
District, Open, at Indian Spring,
with six-stroke advantage over
his nearest opponents, Frank Cum
ningham, Burning Tree pro, and
Volney G. Burnett, Indian Spring
amateur.
AS the field got under way this
morning, under conditions as diff
ficult as those under which yes
terday'S two round were played,
Cox was all overwhelming favorite
to win the big event. AS one en-
thusiast put it:
There isn't a golfer in the world
who can give Witty Cox a six
stroke handicap in So holes and
beat him"
BURNETT TOPS HUFTY
In the competition within a
competition" - the struggle for
Simon-pure honors-Burnett holds
even a greater advantage over his
nearest opponents than Cox does
over his. Burnett started this
mornings round with a seven
stroke lead over Page Hufty, Chevy
Chase Club star, and an 1l-Stroke
lead over Jack Harris, unattached.
The consensus this morning was
that Cox and Burnett are Gin"
However, in the matter Of runner
up honors, the tale is decidedly diff
ferent.
Burnett is dangerous golfer in
very nearly any competition as
thoroughly localized as is this cur
rent tournament. That he will give
Cunningham a good go of it, no
one doubts. It is entirely possible
that Burnett will finish in the run
ner-up position, albeit the fore
casters seem to think Cunningham
will win the honor.
BARRETT THREAT
Then there are others who must
be considered in the race for the
runner-up honors. AS they started
this morning, Bob Barnett, Chevy
Chase pro, was only two strokes
down on Burnett and Cunning.

tached.
Spencer, in turn, was only one
stroke in the van of Louis
Worsham, Chevy Chase; AL Treder,
Manor, and Roland Mackenzie
Congressional. Right behind this
last named trio was Leo Walper
with 1852; George Diffenbaugh
with 1853; Page Hufty, 1853, and
Gene Larkin, 1853.
Cox's play yesterday was moth
ing short of sensational. In an
atmosphere heavy with fog AND
rain, and over a course sodden and
in spots downright wet. the sharp
shooting Witty put together
rounds Of II and SO for his first
day total Of 40.
He started like the proverbia
house-afire. He covered the firsl
nine in 80, two under par. HI

Watch Battles In Contest
Against Eagles, Is Cry
Locals PLAY
Sunday at
Stadium
"GRIPPER" SET
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Watch Cliff Battles against

That's the word from the Red
skins today as they swing through
their second practice session pre-
pairing for the Eagles who come
here next Sunday to oppose the
Redskins in Griffith Stadium.

Nowadays, when you say "pro
footballs greatest all-'round back"
you mean footballs greatest all
'rond back" for it is admitted
generally that by virtue of their
experience, if for no other reason,
the backs in professional football
are superior to those performing
in collegiate ranks.

With Cliff in top shape, the Red
skin attack should improve con-
Siderably.
Sundays game against Philadel-
phia is a danger point for the local
combination. The Redskins are
very apt to enter the game a bit
overconfident, despite the fact the
Eagles have indicated in their
games played to date that they are
improving, and improving rapidly.
It is to be hoped the Redskins will
not forget that the Eagles tied the
Cardinals, who defeated Washing
ton Ala.
EASTERN TEAMS GAIN
For the first time in several
years, Eastern teams in the Ma
tional Football League gained a
monopoly in the race for team
honors in the past week of play,
according to statistics released to-
day. New York leads in ground
gaining and is tied with Cleveland
for defensive honors. Pittsburgh
is the leading scorer and Washing
ton has one of the highest passing
averages in the history of the pro
circuit, thanks to Sammy Baugh.
Although the Chicago Cardi-
nails have gained $50 yards in five
games, the Giants total of 808
for three games averages 269
yards to top the league. Cleve-
land, in four games, and the
Giants, in three, have allowed op-
ponents an average of only lat
yards per game, thus establishing
the best defensive record.
BAUGH LEADS
Washington, with Slingin' Sam
continuing his uncanny forward
passing, took the lead in this de.
partment with a total of SO com.
pletions in 81 losses to jump its
average from so per cent to So
per cent during the week. The
Giants are second with AZ pei
cent. Pittsburgh holds its scoring
lead with SIS points, while Detroit
moved to second place with Sc
points.

Resolutions OF Respect

Adopted by the Morgan County
Bar association, concerning the deata
of Marion e. Danford:
Marion e. Danford was born in
Homer township, Morgan county,
Ohio, Feb. 10, 1859. He received
his education in the public district
schools and in Professor Weethe's
Academy in Athens county, Ohio.
and began the study of law under
the tutelage of James G. Headley OF
Glouster, Ohio, until the fall, 1882,
when he passed the examination for
admission into the senior class or
the law school of the Cincinnati col
lege from which he graduated with
the degree of Bachelor of Laws i'll
May, 1885. He was admitted to the
bar and took the oath Of office be-
fore the supreme court of the state
the following month. Immediately
he moved to McConnelsville and op-
ened law office with his tutor, JIG.
Headley, but this partnership lasted
but a few months. In 1885, Mr..
Danford was nominated by the Re-
publican party as candidate for pros
ecuting attorney, and at the Novem-
ber election of that year was elected,
and three years later was reelected,
serving in all two terms Of three
years each, beginning Jan. /, 1885.
In November, 1886, he was united
in marriage to Addie Mcdonald, 4
native of his own Homer township.
In 1886, he was associated with
James W. Mckinney, which partner
ship continued until the death of the
latter which occurred Oct. 3, 1900.
He then continued in business alone
until Jan. 1. 1903, when he became
associated with Jesse A. Ivers, this
partnership continuing until the
death of the latter on May 27, 1910.
After death of Mr. Ivers, Mr.. Dan
ford continued to occupy the same
Offices at the west end of the STAN
berry building until his death. Dur
ing his association with Mr.. McEl-
hiney and Mr.. Ivers, said firms were
noted as the leading associations OF
the county as we'll as the southeast
ern part of the state. Mr.. DanfOrd
was highly esteemed by his asso
ciates and respected by the judges of
all courts before whom he appeared.
He was a close student of the law,
conscientious in his work, and his
opinions were reliable and could be
depended upon by his clients and the
courts. He was always fair and
courteous in his appearances in
court, seeming to despise falsity and
artifice on the part of other law
yers who used such measures in the
trial of cases. In addition to being
a keen student of the law and
skilful practitioner, Mr.. Danford was
a great lover of his home life, and
outside of office hours could most al
ways be found at home.
Mr.. Danford practiced continually
in Morgan county for over so years.
He could recount experiences of the !
