Try to tell = riverman our black

that's the proper name for this
diving duck, although they prob

the states as bluebills and OCCASION

Too, this duck comes in two, edi-

greater scaup and little brother,
the lesser scaup. There's also first
cousin. the ringneck, 50 nearly like
the others that it often is counted
as scaup.
The big blackhead prefers coastal
waterways while the little fellow
likes best the inland streams and
rivers, according to the books, but
we never have found it so, possibly
because we have hunted only the
Atlantic flyway.
There the large scaup is most i'm
portant and yet this area might be
termed coastal. The backbone of
the Florida flights are small scaup.
Winter visitors know them well, for
wherever there is water there one
will find bluebills on 1t.
Flights are Increasing.
Thirty-odd years ago the flights
OF scaup on the Indian River were
nearly comparable to the present
day flights Of pintail and teal on
Currituck. It wasn't any trick then
when shooting from q lay-down
battery to come in for breakfast
with more than q hundred. Market
shooters shipped from one to several
barrels daily. q.
Scaup still are the most common
ducks nearly everywhere. This fall,

season as Northwestern's coach,
this Saturday is the chance.
Sure-fire Otto Graham, handi-

Humble Cards Seen
As Worthy Rivals
For Redskins
Woshineton's Hord Time
Beoting, Unimportant
Teams Pointed Out

Packing neither the power nor box

Cardinals nevertheless figure to give
the Redskins q run for the marbles

team in an intersectional duel ct

on the verge Of regaining their anna

Possibly the best performance
credited to Jimmy Conzelman's out
fit was . losing stand against Green
Bay, 1917, in which Charley Brock
stole the ball from Bob Morrow and
scrambled over the goal line for the
winning touchdown. Chicago WAS
the victim of rank of1iciating that

about the difference between the
teams in their second meeting when
the Packers walloped 'em by = 55-24

Tribe May Have Trouble.
Add to the evidence 81 loss to
Cleveland, q team Washington all

have good reason to believed the
Cards visit will be merely social and
nothing more. But the past per-
Torrance sheet shows the Tribe
doesn't go well in unimportant COM
pany and may have trouble getting
over the hump.
Washington is having reserve
trouble. Flaherty isn't satisfied with
his second line and Is more than
little disappointed with the rockies.
Even his prize package, Dick Poillon,
has fallen oil, but that can be traced
to some extent to the ribbing the
youngster took from some Of his
older playmates after making a
costly mistake against the Giants.
Until then Poillon had been moving
like a travelling salesman but since
hasn't seen much service.
Entitled to Make Mistakes.
Poillon is as good as ever, but it
will take little time to rebuild his
confidence. He was entitled to a
couple of mistakes, as game pictures
have revealed veterans making their
share of mistakes. F1aherty un-
doubtedly would like to use Poillon
more, as well as other first-year
members Of the squad, but the cam

perimenting and he's been obliged to
rely on the older men. Sunday may

off from supplies and reinforce mentS
 One of the last messages received from Gen. Wainwright before the fall of Corregidor reported that casualties had been heavy for the last few days and that the con- stant pounding by the enemy re- suited in severe damage to the mili- tary installations.
 Siege Guns Effective
 For the fourth consecutive day, l3 separate air attacks were made on Corregidor on May 5, Vain wright reported, but he said that the shelling from Jap 240 millimeter siege guns has been more disas- trous than the aerial bombardment.
 The final artillery barrage de- stroyed barbed wire entanglement and blasted machine gun install lations and other centers of re- sistance.
 Wainwright's report said that the Japs brought their assault troops across the narrow stretch of water as Corregidor's guns replied to the enemy artillery fire and shelled truck columns on Bataan right up to the last minute of daylight, but that counter battery fire was se- verely handicapped as it has been throughout the siege of Manila Bay because of the lack of aerial ob- servation from the Manila Bay forts.
 Wainwright Remains
 A message received in Allied Headquarters in Australia just be- fore the surrender expressed Vain wright's determination to remain with his men until the end.
 The message as published said: T have been with my men from the start and if captured will share their lot. We have been through so much together, my conscience wouldn't let me leave before the final curtain.
 Americans shaken by the loss of Bataan shouldn't feel that the fail of Manila Bays forts is a double tragedy, but rather that it is the complication of the grimness of our spirit when we stay until the end of the job to be done"
 The Navy announced last night that 3845 officers and men of the Navy and Marine Corps were on Corregidor when the fortress fell to the Japs. It is assumed all were captured
