Hunters Pass Ammunition Sparinsly
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Service Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Nov. II With
foodstuffs dwindling and the
cost of that which is obtainable
soaring, wildfowl, upland game
and large edible quadrupeds will
form an important addition to
the national wartime larder this
fall.
The hunter now goes afield to
satisfy more than his atavistic
impulses. In many cases he kills
game for the same reason that
the Indian did-for sustenance.
And because q large section of
the male population is in the
service and many more too busy
with war work to take time out
for sports in the field, more and
better targets are afforded to
those who can get out.
RUSH FOR SHELLS
From Florida to Maine and
from the eastern-most tip of
Long Island to California, early
reports show q great many less
hunters afield than there were
at this time q year ago.
A fairly damp summer gener-
ally throughout the country was
conducive to the natural propa-
CATION of most game species.
Birds and small quadrupeds are
definitely more plentiful than
they were q year ago.
So, granting that the ammuni-
ton supply presents no prob
lem, your 1912 hunting trip
should pay bigger dividends
than any in recent years.
Some far-sighted gunners saw
the ammunition famine coming
for several years and stocked
up. BY and large, however, the
average hunter did little about
it. He figured that it couldn't
happen here, that he could al
ways obtain bullets.
That's the fellow you encoun-

10 Regain Tie
for Top Rank
Move into Boston
TO Meet Bruins;
Only League Duel
~ the Associated Press

Knocked out of a first-place
tie in the National Hockey
League the past weekend, the
Montreal Canadiens will attempt
to get back on the winning
track tonight when they move
into Boston to skate against a
Bruin team that is sporting a
two-game winning streak.
The Bruins. losers of their
first four starts. finally found a
team they could beat in the New
York Rangers and clipped them
twice on successive weekend
nights.
The Boston encounter is the
only one on the league schedule
tonight, but 1t will give Gordie
Drillon of the Canadiens
chance to increase his lead in
the individual scoring depart
ment.
Although the Detroit Red
Wings trounced the Canadiens
twice during the week end to
recapture first place in the cir
cult, Carl Liscombe of the Wings
lost his share of the individual
scoring lead and Drillon took
over sole possession.
While Liscombe was going
scoreless the past week, Drillon
added three points to his total
and now has IL. on five goals
and seven assists. Liscombe
dropped back to three-way tie
for fifth.
Drillon's greatest threat came
from Lynn Patrick of the Rang
ers who added six points to his
total and moved into second
place with IL on three goals and
eight assists. Right behind him
came Max Bentley of Chicago
and Buddy O'Connor of Mon
treal, with 10 each.
Tied with Liscombe at nine
are Detroit's Mud Bruneteau and
Bryan Hextall of the Rangers.
Red Hamill of Chicago scored
three times during the past week
and holds the lead in the goal
department with seven, one more
than Gage Stewart of Toronto.
