Chief Deputy Game Warden

At all other ducking grounds

reported. Norris said all surveys
indicated "the ducks are staging q

This season also brings the open.

compasses about 20 per cent of the
previous shooting area.
Hunters of upland game also will
find quarry plentiful, due TO ar

said.

From the
Press Box
Feud With Billy Conn
Keeps Johnston Happy
BY JOHN LARDNER,

special correspondent OF The star.
NEW YORK, Nov. Is (N.ANA).-
James Joy Johnston, the small lar
ceny merchant from Liverpool, Eng
land, would feel undressed without
a feud on his hands. Having waged
personal and private wars on Max
Baer (Which he won and Joe Louis
which he LOST, Mr.. Johnston has
now directed his boundless i'll will
toward Sweet William Conn, cham
pion of all the worlds light-heavy-
weights.
The boy bandit likes 'em tough.
Built along the lines of a rugged
mouse himself, he heckled and bad
gered and worried the magnificent
Baer until he got him into the ring
with James J. Braddock. Braddock
did the rest, but Mr.. Johnston took
the fight as a personal triumph.
Braddock was his man-until Brad
dock, according to Mr.. Johnston S
Interpretation of the matter, be-
trayed him.
When Braddock went out to Chi
cago to surrender his heavyweight
title to Joe Louis, Mr.. Johnston re-
doubled his private war on Louis
Joe looked like a pretty fair fighter
to most critics, but Mr.. Johnston
showed how wrong this notion was
with gestures.

second in the Hopeful to Bimelech
helped earn him the runner-up spot.
Rough Pass Loses Chance.
Like the 3-year -old division, sew
eral juveniles came close to gaining
third position. None of them were
much and only yesterday Rough Pass
passed up chance to get the vote
when he finished third in the Wal
den at Pimlico. Before that he had
won two stakes and chased Bimelech
home in the Pimlico Futurity.
Roman Flag, Merry Knight,
Straight Lead and Victory Morn all
won stakes but failed to show much
class Roman Flag, which won five
of eight starts, probably deserves the
show award.
The handicap division, which
Kayak dominated, also was nothing
to rave about. Kayak Is a good
horse ard plenty fast, but beyond
him it's hard to find much. Kayak
won the Santa Anita Handicap in
record-breaking time, beat Cravat
three times and lost only to Chal-
ledon, which doesn't count here.
Cravat won the Brooklyn, Suburban
and Jockey Club Gold Cup and for
awhile looked great, but then he
took it on the chin several times.
He still should be placed second but
had Sorteado lived he might even
have lost that ranking. Sorteado, a
stablemate of Kayak, is put third of
his victories in the Aloha Handicap
and the Manhattan, in which he set
new American record for ~ miles
while beating Cravat and Isolator.
Now What Tops Fillies.
Now What, the 2-year-old filly
division leader, won eight races and
$4,000. Her triumphs in the Arling-
ton Lassie, Demoiselle, Spinaway
and Astoria stakes give her a wide
margin over Piquet, which usually
could be found closest to Now What
in races restricted to juvenile fillies.
War Beauty, winner of the Selma
at Laurel and second in the Arling-
ton Lassie and Schuylerville, is the
only eligible for third.
Next year, instead of asking the
boys to vote on the various leaders,
Mr. Horn should send out question:
naires asking how to improve the
breed.
Evening star., 1939-11-15
BY ROBERT HENRY.

Each fall about this time Edgar
G. Horn of the Turf and Sport
Digest sends out ballots to 500 horse
minded sports reporters and asks
them to select the various thorough
bred champions OF the year. Usually
the job requires concentration, but
this time it's a snap. The runner
ups demand some study, but not the
leaders.
Although only a 3-year-old, Chal-
ledon deserves the "herse of the
year" title. He not only was a
standout among the runners of his
age division, but also showed superb
ority over the handicap stars.
Bimelech was tops among the 2
year -olds, Kayak II was best of
the handicap stars. Nov What was
the class of the fillies.
Challedon, the most raced 3-year-
old champion in years, did every
thing a top-fight horse is supposed
to do. He raced often, on all kinds
of tracks, conceded weight and
showed plenty of heart. Even when
pitted against older horses he came
through in gallant style and twice
beat Kayak, the handicap star.
Thrivcs on Racing.
Apparently Challedon thrived on
racing, for after a rather dull start
he came back to easily beat his for
mer conqueror, Johnstown. Later
he won eight straight and smashed
the world record for l 3-16 miles,
ending up with nine victories in Is
starts, only one of which found him
finishing out of the money. He
topped the years money winners
with $183, 900.
Early in the season it appeared
that JohnStoWn would be the boss,
but after showing great speed to
win seven races and $137 900 he
proved something less than a won
der horse" His one fault, inability
to take it" when the going got
rough, proved that it requires more
than sheer speed to be great. New
ertheless, his record entities him to
second place in the 3-year-old divi-
sion. Several put in strong bids for
third. but Eight Thirty, a failure
early, got hot late in the summer to
win five stakes in succession. Hash
Sun Lover and Lovely Knight de-
serve mention.
Bimelech q Real Champ.
The juvenile division, somewhat
below standard, nevertheless pro-
vided real champion in Bimelech.
Starting late, this f1ashy colt scored a
great triple in the Belmont Futurity,
Hopeful Stakes and the Pimlica Fu-
turity. Although he worked well in
mud, he was twice scratched from
races on account of the heavy going
One was the Arlington Futurity and
the other the New England Futurity,
both of which seemed at his mercy.
The only time he appeared in danger
was in the Hopeful-when he got off
slowly, but he came from far behind
to win easily. He also proved he
could travel a distance and pack
weight. His record is six starts, six
firsts and $135 900.
The rest of the 2-year-olds were
not much. Andy K. was a speed
demon, but usually ran out on the
turns or chucked it in the stretch.
He won the Arlington Futurity and
the Champagne Stakes, but was dis
qualified after heading the field in
the United States Hotel Stakes. His

Mr.. Conn admitted that his man.

II know, William, I know" said
Mr.. Johnston soothingly. He

his 4 o'clock cuppatea. "everything

There Is Practical Side
To james Joys Feuds
This last remark shows that there
is practical side to Mr.. Johnston's
feuds. They always leave him a
little bit wealthier than he was
before.
No sooner had he posed himself
the problem than a ready made
target for his wrath stepped for
ward-Willie Conn, the Pittsburgh
cherub, a brash, sharp-tongued
cocky spalpeen, and, furthermore, a
good fighter. Remember, Mr.
Johnston likes 'em tough.
Conn had been matched, in a
very vague way, to fight Runnin
Robin Pastor. This was to be Sweet
Williams introduction to the bon
ton of the heavyweight class Think
ing the matter over, Conn's man.
agtr, Johnny Ray, decided that
maybe he was pushing Willie a little
bit too fast. Pastor is a dangerous
customer.
So the vague match was vaguely
called off, and Mr.. Johnston lifted
his voice in long, exultant howl.
'Wot's hall this?" he demanded
lapsing into the Old World patois of
Liverpool. Young Conn is scared
of my killer? That's fine. I al
