Bogart and Skinker qualified last
year for the title tourney at Winged
Foot, N. Y, and both are keen to
go to Omaha, scene of the 1941 ma

Malone, the big gent who has
extraordinary physical attributes to
become a fine golfer, plays every

By BILL ACKERMAN.

Michael Lerner, outstanding big
game angler, an6 we'll known in the
field of natural science is fishing
off Louisburg, Nova Scotia, with
Capt. Bill Hatch, the Miami guide
who discovered the drop-back that
is so necessary in hooking billed
fishes and who has accompanied
Mike on many of his expeditions
for the American Museum of Ma
tural History
Bill has a nose" for the big
fish. If they are up he'll find them.
It seems it was just yesterday he
was at HatteraS, but it must have
been several weeks, because they
already have accounted for two

Insists Bay is Alive.
We are charged with being too
optimistic about Chesapeake fish
ing this season, and looking at 1t
through rose-colored glasses, but so
long as there are fish in the sea and
fishermen bent upon their capture
there are bound to be good catches
and poor, because there are both
good and poor anglers.
Our belief that this is the best
season in many years, and that the
fish are In the Chesapeake in great
numbers, still is strong. Sometimes
1t requires a little looking around
to find them, and again there are
DAYS when they Just will not accept
bats. If they did bite consistently,
any day and every day, fishing
would not be the alluring sport it
is. So long as Allah does not de-
duct from the allotted time of man
those hours spent in fishing" why
not keep trying?
Deer Staying Ruthless.
Americans are democratic, but oc-
casionally imperialistic too. If that
is hard to believe, look at the killing
of the deer in southern Florida to
eradicate the cattle tick.
Even though scientists have
proved the tick can exist for pc
riod of IA years without the blood
it needs to reproduce, Florida cattle
interests and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture have killed
more than 1000 deer; insisting it is
the only way to erase the tick. Now
they are seeking through legislation

promise by killing the 200-odd deer
left on their land
Senate Bill 1476, requiring the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs to
cooperate by allowing the killing of
these deer, has passed the Senate.
If it passes the House, it will be not
only a travesty on our use of wild
life, but proof that we are demo-
cratic only when we wish to be.
Because Americans are slow to be-
lieve, while grasping commercial
interests rape our resources lndls-
criminately and fight through State
Legislatures and the courts to be
allowed to continue, little is ever
done about such acts. They can
prevent the killing of these deer
only by telling their Representative

Would Conserve Channel Bass.
Steps to conserve the channel
bass, fish that has taken thousands
of sports anglers to the outer banks
of North Carolina, and has kept
them returning year after year,
have been taEan BY the North
Carolina conservation department.
So far, it is no more than reso-
luton, asking the cooperation Of
sportsmen and commercial men to
join in movement to prevent their
needless killing.
The Commission recognizes the
fact that sports anglers are willing
to spend large sums in pursuit of
the big drum" and that the COM
mercial take of more than 500. 900
pounds annually, although the fish
has little sale value, soon will have
them hunting greener pastures for
their sport.
North Carolina has recognized the
sports value of her fisheries In the
last several years. and this resolu-
ton is just the initial step toward
setting the channel bass aside as a
sport fish. We believe the striper

Highly elated over his success In
obtaining Jack Kearns' troupe Of

Turner today predicted a minimum
gate of $4,000 for the big biting

Topping it off he has a couple
of oddities, putting it mildly. One
is Ben Nor a 7-foot 300-pounder.
Another is Claude Villar, hailed as

as tough as the Wild Bull of the

is Buddy Scott, who got himself
bumped off by Bob Pastor and then
surprised everybody by flattening
his next opponent in Miami.
It's Something New.
1t is a curious conglomeration of
talent and regardless of the caliber
of Cl0uting, which Turner and
Kearns both say will be distinctly
of better sort, the fans avid thirst
for something new and something
different probably will help the gate.
Turner is counting on out-of-town
patronage to help swell receipts.

Although Princeton will profit for

will have a note Of patriotic en-
deavor, athletic officials today
pointed out.
1t was stated that "the sponsors

in the commercial time of the broad
casts being given in part to recon-
mendations for oil conservation and
to other aids to the national defense

since 1888 have advocated CONNER
cial broadcasts as a solution to de-
clining sports income at the univer-
sity. The schools sports budget has
shown a profit for only four years
since 1881 and listed a deficit of
