area more than sections above or
below, limits are possible any and
every day, and the Whale Head
Club, as it now is named, is rated
as one Of the really hot spots on
the Atlantic f1yway.
A month back, at Poplar Branch,
while waiting for the boat to take

Federal warden for that stretch of
the North Carolina coast, remarked
there were more birds in then than
he had seen in a dozen years. If
any one knows waterfowl and shoot

Tired Hunters Dream.
There was ample proof his as
sertion was not idle chatter, but
even so, the emile run across to-
day was more nearly like a tired
wildfowler's dream than actual real
ity. Now there are additional
thousands Of cans, redheads, gold
eneyes and tiny ruddy ducks, where
before 1t was only black ducks,
widgeon and sprig tails, and great
RATS Of Canada geese, still rising
only when the boat is nearly upon
them, and settling back down almost
in the wake Of the propeller.
AS we write, there is within full
view a raft of canvasbacks. Here
and there in them are redheads,
but all are out of gunshot range
OF the blinds. The flights of geese
are coming in from the sea for the
evening, but are passing high over
the dunes. 1t will need fulfillment
Of the promise of weather to bring
them low, so that the beach blinds
will be worth a try-but tomorrow
is always another day and maybe
our luck is holding.

Major League Chiefs
Gather With Deals
Still 10 Be Cooked
Some Trades Expected
To Sprout Today From
Earlier Cultivation
BY JUDSON BAILEY,

CHICAGO, Dec 8-The baseball
brethren are back at their winter
business Of sitting in hotel lobbies
and hoping that some important
trades will sprout out of the potted
palms this week
There was a good chance some
would blossom late today for the
groundwork was laid last week at
the minor league meeting in Jack
sonville, Fla. After scattering to
their homes for the week end. all
of the magnates and managers are
together here for the major league
meetings which will be held Tues
day. Wednesday and Thursday.
The business meetings of the
leagues have been hustled to
close in two days for the last two
years. but the owners have agreed
against cutting them short this
year-thus allowing ample time for
the closing Of whatever deals are
under consideration.
The National and American
Leagues will meet separately to-
morrow and Wednesday and then
jointly on Thursday. Much of their
work is of a financial and technical
nature not disclosed to the public,
but two of their actions will be the
selection of site for next years
All-Star game and a decision on
the St. Louis Browns plea to play
more than seven night games at
home.
Brooklyn is expected to get the
All-Star game. since it is the
National League and the Easts
turn.
The restriction on seven night
games is not expected to be lifted
on the basis of preliminary survey
among the club owners.
The majors and Commissioner
KeneSaw M. Lands also will con-
slider an amendment passed by
the minor leagues to permit farm
organizations to advance players
through their system without
making them subject to the present
optional assignment restrictions.

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. g.
Washington and nearby Virgins
penguin dinghy sailors again proved
their superiority in national COM
petition when three Of the first
four positions in the Maryland
Yacht Club frostbite series held of
here yesterday afternoon were
copped by these shippers.
Most significant accomplishment
of the day was Walter Lawson OF
Washington, this years national
penguin champion, winning the
series with a wide margin of 56
points. His champion Potlatch, in
taking three of the five races, scored
1888 points.
His nearest rival vas William
Heintz Of Arlington, class president,
whore Judy totalled 1863 points.
With penguin sailors coming from
as far as Philadelphia, a d-place
winner emerged in Robert Price
Of that city. He races, however. on
Barnegat Bay Fourth place went
to young Joe Kraft of Alexandria,
Va.
Nineteen penguins competed over
triangular course laid out in
Potapsco River and brisk wind out
of the northwest gave the shippers
keen sailing. The wind broke the
mast of one boat. but the skipper
was able to borrow a mast to finish
the series.

Junior Girls Trophy
Returned 10 Awards
For Linkswomen
Lost Played For in 1885.
Ii Will Be at Stake
In Association Event

Women golfers around town will
have another cup in competition
next year. further increasing the
imposing list of silver mugs for
which the fair golfers play every
year.
The cup is the Junior Girls Cham
pionship Trophy. and it isn't a new
one 1t was presented to the Wom-
ems District Golf Association eight
years ago by Mrs. Morris Simon
and only thrice has been won. Last
winner was Helen Dettweiler in 1885.
Where it has been since and why a
junior girls tournament hasn't
been played is a mystery.
But Mrs. Walter L. Weible, pres
ident of the Women's District Golf
Association. says the organiZa ton
will schedule a junior girls tourney
next year. She happens to be a
valiant booster for junior girls golf
and would seek the cooperation Of
the local pros in mass lessons for
instruction of college girls.
Such class lessons" says Mrs.
Weible, would be the biggest spur
for promotion of golf among the
younger women We ever have had
around Washington. We do not have
enough young golfers coming along.
Almost all our better players are
past the youngster stage And the
girls would turn out for a series Of
class lessons. I know Of two local
colleges where large classes of stu
dents will come out for lessons if
the professionals will work with us "
She probably won't find any opposi-
tion from the pros. who want to
see the game progress.
The feminine association preXy
sees in the coming of Helen Hicks
Harb to Washington a lift along the
road to better golf. Although Helen
will not be a competitor in the
women's tournaments she will be
playing next year in friendly
matches at all the clubs. Her hus-
band probably will join Congress
sional. Helen has been a top
notch competitor for many years.
Many of our golfers will watch
Mrs. Harb with benefit to them
selves" said Mrs. Weible.

Currituck Filled With Rufts of Waterfowl
But Dirty Weather Is Still Needed

COROLLA, N. c., Dec. S.-Any
further reporting on wild waterfowl
in the Chesapeake and Potomac ap-
peared like waving red flag at a
bull, for birds that refuse to fly
are of little interest to hunters.
About mid-week it seemed evi-
dent that the season in the Middle
Atlantic States would wind UP with
bluebirds flying to the bitter end, as
the deadline fell in the Northern
States, and with just about three
weeks left of the Southern season,
it appeared smart to forget the
nearby shooting and come down
Currituck way for a final binee on
the outer banks of North Carolina
Before we left there were indica-
tions alpenty that the arrival of
dirty weather was close at hand, but
once started there was no turning
back and we we're safe in the knowl-
edge that If good hunting was on
the way it would be equally as good
here. Currituck, with a northeaster
beating the shallow waters to
froth, brings real shooting. That
was true even of the lean '30s. With
the countless waterfowl On the sound
this winter should be an experience
the answer to any wildfowlers
prayer.
Waiting for Tomorrow.
In the five weeks since the sea-
son opened there have been only
five days when the birds showed a
willingness to decoy. Otherwise
hunters over most of the 40-odd
miles Of Currituck have had no bet
ter shooting than those elsewhere,
excepting, perhaps, that s. mile
stretch of shifting sand where we
now are waiting for tomorrow and
hoping the promise of weather turns
into reality.
Known as the Light House Club
from the time it was organized back
in Civil War days until Joseph
Knight built the present club in
1922 after an extensive wildfowl
survey that cost thousands of dol
lars. the area has proved hunters
paradise and the worth of the sur
vey.
There are entries in the old rec
ords that reveal shooting was not
always up to hunters expectations,
but upon counting the total of the
bags, it shows further that in the
good old days. a poor bag was
more. several times over, than Un-
Gle Sam allows hunters today.
: Limit Always Possible.
What those old timers knew, and
knights survey checked, has been
borne out during this years shoot
ing. Limit bags haven't been made

EntyFee Of One Dollar

Now Seems Puny
Pin Shooters Of Capital
Set Example in Aiding

By ROD THOMAS,

The 81 that every bowler in WASH
lngtcn has been urged to invest in
national defense seemed quite small
today with competition to open to-.
night in The Stars defense bond
tournament, model for hundreds Of
duckpin and tenpin events in which
the Government expects the Nations
rineralite shooters to line up mite
stronger behind the men destined
t fire shells and bullets.
For more than a month the Capt.
tails men and women have been
regaled with details of the tourna-
ment, in which all awards will be
made in Defense savings.
Suffice it to repeat here that, due
to full handicap system, every en-
trant with a league average will
compete on equal footing with all
rivals; that all without league aver
ages will receive a fair portion OF
franked sticks.
Incentive Is Doubled.
Those not thoroughly familiar
with the tournament we commend

ger. From him they will hear the
most attractive proposition ever put

cred, but now has entered into the
affair a new lure which, to many,
will be far greater.
Throughout this week. at every
alley in the Washington Metropoli-
tan area, bowlers will shoot three
games in the qualification round Of
the tournament, with one-half the
participants at each plant to fire
in a roll-off for which there will be
no charge, not even an alley fee, but
with many and large prizes at
stake
The dollar entry fee covers the
entire cost of participation for
league bowlers who may use their
league scores for the preliminary
test. The leaguers who qualify
stand to be out only 40 cents If
they don't win one of the prizes,
Wnlcn range up 10 q Sl,UUU DOllu loi
men and one of $500 for women.
Make Those Iron Men March.
A bowler without league aflliation
will pay for his preliminary games
plus the entry fee and small army
of such planned to do so even before
they knew that the bowling bucks
would march so soon for Uncle Sam.
Most of the plants are reserving
their drives next Saturday and Sun
day for non-leaguers.
To compete, a pin shooter must
turn over to an alley manager or
attendant his paid-up slip. The
blanks are available at all alleys.
Unlike in other Star tournaments, |
one may sign up at one alley but |
bowl at another. The main thing. |
now, IS TO get on the line with that

way to impressive performances at

his pass-snagging and blocking.
Portwood an Iron Man.
An honest-to-gosh iron man was
Kentuckys Portwood, who grabbed
the other end post. Despite injuries
that hospitalized him. he wouldn t
quit, and Coach Alb KirWan called
him the best we've had in four
years" Portwood is 26 and because
he had been out of working
as a bus driver-for several years
he was accorded only an outside
chance of making the team. He
became regular. and his play was
reckless and rough and mighty dis
turbing to all foes.
The other two gentlemen Of hon.
or, Murphy of the Maroons and
Gaffney Of the Vols, specialized in
offensive maneuvers. The red-head-
ed tailback ran Mississippi State S
No, 2 team but got into the front
lines against Alabama, L. S. U. and
Auburn to impress all with his
punting-39.8-yard average-passing
and speedy running.

verses to become the Vols leading
