Maryland Has Biggest Year.
A greater number of fishing
licenses was issued in Maryland in
l941 than in any previous year, pre-
liminary figures show. The in
crease was approximately 5000 OF
all kinds.
1t appears that the promise of
good waterfowl season was respon-
sible for part of the increase, for
there were 1,719 duck blinds licensed
against 1913 in 1910.
Because of the war fewer sports
men went into Canada during the
seasons of 1901 even though con-
ditions were as favorable as at any
time before.
This season the provinces are get
ting of to an early start in
acquainting American anglers with
what they have to offer in the way
of fishing and hunting.
In order to make fishing more at
tractive in the Province Of Quebec
a drastic lowering in the costs OF
all licenses is announced.
A license for a full year for all
kinds of game fish with the ex-
ception of salmon now can be pur-
chased for IS. A three-day tourist
license is but 50. The salmon IL
cense, which includes all other fish,
requires an outlay Of SIS, but like all
other licenses 1t entities all members
OF the immediate family to fish.
The high cost of fishing in the
provinces has deferred many an
American angler from a Canadian
fishing vacation, because with the
other necessary expenditures the
total was too much for the average

Of the game. Vaguely they've talked
about setting up a driving range, by
building a community clubhouse for
golf, and of organizing the profess
sionals around Washington into a
business enterprise, both to make
money for themselves and to "sell"
pro golf.
The idea still is only an idea, but
today 1t has big boost and it won't
be surprising to see the pros get
going on this one soon, somewhere
around the rim of the town where
a good spot for a combined driving
range-instructing course may be
available.
We have around Washington sew
eral good driving ranges, where the
golf faithful gather sporadically
during the day and in throngs at
night during the summer to mall
treat golf balls at so cents a bucket,
learn something about the game, be-
gin to play it, and then become
members of country clubs. That is
the usual development, in case you
don't know.
A Golfer Is Born.
A duffer Is coaxed to a driving
range, some one puts a driver in his
hand. he hits squarely about of
the SO balls he buys for so cents, the
bug gets him and he starts playing
the game on the public courses, and
10, golfer Is born. He isn't yet a
golfer in the sense that mechanically
he can play the game. That comes
later when he joins a country club
and puts himself in the hands Of
the pro.
The pros around town don't want
to cut in on the business of the es-
tablished driving ranges by setting
themselves up in business as indi-
viduals But they do believe that
by pooling their knowledge, their
cash and their talents they could do
pretty good Job of teaching the
game and at the same time cut
themselves in for a neat little
profit.
Witty Cox explains it. Witty is
president Of the Middle Atlantic
P. G. A., and is a gent with plenty
of savvy where the golf business
is concerned. He knows it from all
angles, but first and foremost he
has the interests of the pro at heart.
"It seems to me we boys in this
area are missing an opportunity,
particularly this year, If we don t
organize driving range setup here
operated by all Of U.s. Here's the
way it seems to me. We won't be
able to get our normal supply of
golf balls this year. That means
our income Is going to be reduced.
But there are thousands more golf
ers in town than last year and there
will be more. Many thousands of
them are going to be on the lookout
for driving range practice, particu-
larly at night.
"It can be that the existing ranges
are going to be overrun with busi-
ness, but even If they are not I
think by offering first-class golf in
struction at a high-class place,
properly run and well supervised, all
Of us can do good Job Of selling

To Defend Crown
Ex-Coteher, Now Detroit
Coach, Has Tough Foes
In Diumonders' Event
Py the Associated Press.

fv tDe AosoClateu Frens.
MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 10.-A former
catcher who used to play golf as
a cure for a batting slump starts
out tomorrow in defense Of his base
ball players championship.
Merv Shea, now coach for the
Detroit Tigers, can't see eye to eye
with Rogers Hornsby and other dia-
mond stars who claim golf ruins a
baseball swing.
"I don't know that there is any
connection between swinging golf
club and swinging bat," Shea ex-
planned as he waited to tee off for
practice round.
But when I could get chance
to play golf on an off day I'd hit
better the next day.
I'D feel better up there at the
plate"
Shea figures that baseball play
ers as a group are better golfers
than any other type of athlete
because they like to swing" They
are so proficient that he predicts
it'll take a score down near par
for 72 holes to win the annual
tournament to be played over the
Miami Country Club course.
Shea started golf1ng in 1880. He
took part in couple of tournaments
as a professional at his home at
Sacramento, Calf, in 1886, but is
back in the amateur ranks now.
He won the championship at st.
Petersburg, Fla, last year, assuming
the title held at various times by
Baseball Players Yves Ferrell, Paul
Waner and Sam Byrd.
'I figure any one Of four Of Us
will win" Shea said.
It'll likely be Ferrell, Paul Der
ringer, Heinie Manush or me-"
One dark horse contender, Johnny
Rizzo, was forced out when Brook
lyn President Larry MacPhail placed
a ban on Dodger participation.
Waner, once one Of the country's
finest southpaw golfers, will be ham
dicapped by a badly burned hand.
