SO YELLOWSTONE
BEARS ARE SLAIN
KILLING OF NURSE DURING SUM-
MER PROMPTED ACTION BY
PARK SERVICE

Eighty-three bears have been killed
in Yellowstone national park this year
because they were dangerous to life
and property, the national park SER
vice disclosed
Victor H Cahalene. head of the
services wildliie section, reported that
forest rangers have shot 55 of the
black bears and 20 Of the grizzlies that
intrepid tourists used TO feed out Of
their hands.
He said that the killing of a nurse,
Miss Martha Hansen. by a bear in
Yellowstone this year was the first
fatality among 100000 visitors TO
the big Wyoming park He added that
250 persons had been injured by bears
and ll8 cases of damage to property
reported
The situation required positive
action" Cahalene explained.
But there was no general indict-
ment of the bear population. Each
bear shot was known to have been
potential killer or a menace to prop
erty. In numerous cases bears were
killed after having been live-trapped
several times and released in the deep
forest. But they always came back to
continue their depredations
He estimated there were approx
mately 1000 bears in Yellowstone, and
that consequently less than 10 percent
Of them had been shot.
We've been having unusual trouble
with bears all along the Rockies from
Canada to Colorado this year" Caha-
lene said. "A few have had to be shot
| in Yosemite and Sequoya parks In
California. and one was shot at
Crater lake. Oregon"
The wildlife chief said he did not
definitely know what made the bears
| SO vicious this year, but one theory
was that the bear population has Just
exceeded the food supply
| Bears are omnivorous. he said
with visits to Yellowstone off this
/ year because of the war. many bears
that used to depend on handouts along
! the highways have been going hungry.
Many inns and camps have closed, too,
eliminating the garbage dumps that
used to be popular roofing ground for
! the animals"
Cahalene said the park service
didn't intend to operate feeding
grounds for the bears. This was in
line with policy of training the
bears to hunt their own food-berries,
brown squirrels, carrion, roots and
grasses.
AS for the tourists handouts he
stated most people were injured by
bears when feeding them or when
coming upon them just after they had
been fed by someone else. I'VE are
trying to make people understand that
they can't treat wild animals as If
they were tame" he said.

Can't Change School
TRANSFORMATION Cost

Attorney General R. V. Bottomly
has ruled that school district trustees
have no authority to alter schedules
for the transportation of school chill
dren as fixed by the state law.
He recommended that impractical
aspects of the school transportation
law be called to the attention of the
legislature.
The opinion was written at the re-
quest of Bert W. Kronmiller, Big Horn
county attorney, who cited an in
stance in which several families hav-'
ing children of both grade and high
school age and living in an isolated
portion of the county applied to the
superintendent of schools for an in
crease in the amount provided by the
legislature for transportation of the
children.

DRAFT WILL END
LYONS CAREER
AS MOUND STAR

CHICAGO, Aug. 2G-OUP) - The
amazing mound career of Ted Lyons
of the Chicago White SoX appeared
near an end today.
The veteran of 20 American
league campaigns hasn't lost his
ability to focl opposing hatsmen,
but he faces a military call that
likely will balk any hope Of "anoth-
er season" for him.
Lyons received an order to report
to a draft beard in his home town
of Vinton, La, for a physical exam
ination preparatory to induction in
to the army. He was unable to be
in the southern town en- the pre-
scribed date and yesterday con-
ferred with Chicago draft officials
to determine whether arrangements
can be. made for the examination
here.
"I was told the board would no.
tify me in q day or two what I
should do, Lyons said.
Lyons said il was likely he would
be permitted to finish the present
baseball season regardless of the
decision of his examination.
While awaiting word relative to
his test, Lyons indicated he would
investigate the various branches of
service with an eye toward enlist
ment.
I've thought some about the
marine corps" he said. I'D like
to get in a branch of the service
where I could keep active and I
guess the marines are the best bet
for that. 1 want to do the most
possible good when called"
Lyons is IL years old, unmarried
and without dependents. His faith
er. who lived with him during the
off-seasons, died recently.

put their stamp of approval on

he fought Shank twice, losing the

with Robinson. He has had only

proximately "a amateur braWls.
Moreover, Shank is going into the
ring with recently healed cash on
his upper right eye lid, suffered
in his last bout, with Phil Norman
at Newark on August H. He knock
ed out Norman in five rounds.
Shank has been using a face mask
in training. But spar mate banged
the mask and it inflicted a deep

Despite the opinion of experts
and the fact that Robinson is

BY PAUL SCHEFFELS

NEW YORK, Aug. 20 tUPD - A
game between the Giants and Dod-
gers has always ranked as one of
the most important contests on the
schedule. But today the two clubs
cHen series that is ultra-import-
ant, for the New Workers face their
best chance in years to administer
a lethal blow to Brooklyn's National
League peni.anU hopes.
| The Giants carry their longest

games into Ebbets Field today.
And if their current record of II
victories in their last IS games is
any indication, Nell Otis crew may

BROOKLYN apparently has a fairly
safe edge over Billy Southwo.th
Cardinals. But the Red Birds have
been closing in last, knocking three
full games off the Dodgers front

To say the least it will be an IN
teresting series between the city

trounce the Braves, Ill. Every man

the Dodgers scored in all but two
innings.
Nanny Salvo started for the
Braves but was kayOed in the third.
Al JaVery was flattened in the
sixth and Willie Donovan and
Johnny Sain took a pounding in the
closing innings. Pete Reiser. the
leagues leading hitter, made three
hits and drew two passes for per-
feet day at the plate. Veteran Curt
Davis marked up his 18th triumph
by spreading eight Boston hits.
CARDS WIN TOO
The Cardinals remain right be-
hind Brooklyn, 612 games off the
pace, by whipping the Cubs last
night, 81, for their sixth victory
in a row Mort Cooper won his
18th victory against only six losses
by holding the Cubs to seven hits
while the Cards collected r.
The Pittsburgh Pirates scored
eight runs ON four hits in the sixth
to beat the Reds, 90. 1t was the
sixth straight loss for the Reds.
Tex HughsOn won his 10th
straight victory and 10th of the
year as he limited the Yankees to
seven hits, giving the Red six Ga
victory and a.4 even break in their
Wednesday double-h d er The
Yankees won 2-1 decision in the
nightcap.
Virgil Trucks held the Indians to
six hits as the Tigers beat Cleve-
land, G-1, in a twilight game. The
Tigers garnered 10 hits including
homer by Rudy York in the third
with two on and one by Ned Harris
il the eighth with none on.
Roger Wolff snapped a four-game
