OUTDOORS
Duck Kill Of Is, 900, 900 Seen for 1912,
But Big Flight Looms for Next Year

It has been estimated that the
duck kill this season will mount to
nearly 100000 birds. Counting as
average those birds killed in some
areas, and particularly in certain
blinds, such staggering total ap-
pears possible, and yet 1t is within
bounds of conservative cropping, for
it still will permit approximately
10000, 900 more birds to go North
next spring than were on the fly
ways during the record nuptial
fight of 1912.
There are some sections where
shooting has been far below normal,
because hunters, after obtaining IL
censes and erecting blinds. have
found the dearth of shells an in
surmountable obstacle.
Average Of 30 at Some Blinds.
To offset that there are individual
blinds-to be had on daily fee
basis-that have been used every
day since the opening of the season.
The average daily bags of these
blinds often exceeds 30 birds. At
more than a thousand to the blind
1t does not take long for the total
kill to mount up fast, to make the
grand total of 100000 seem per-
fectly plausible. We believe, how
ever. when the January census of
the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service is taken. the figures will be
proven too large by far. That be-
lief is based on the smaller numbers
of gunners observed. While over a
wide area 1t is nevertheless small
when the whole country Is taken
into consideration. it is easy to
think that what prevails over the
Chesapeake country is just about
average.
The small numbers Of Canada

small. There were those who ascribed
this lack, not to overshooting in
previous years, but to the birds
lettering along the flyways.
This was true particularly In the
upper bay where wildfowlers were
enjoying goose shooting beyond any
they had experienced in a decade.
To see the great flocks trading up
and down the Sassafras and other
nearby rivers, 1t was indeed difficult
to understand the need for lowering
the daily bag to two.
Larger Birds Scarce.
But that was favored section. It
still continues so, producing after
nearly so days OF shooting, larger
bags than are being brought in on
Currituck and Pamlico. where hunt
ers are experiencing little difficulty
in bringing in their daily bag of
ducks but are going shy on the
larger birds. In other years It al
ways has been easier to get q limit
Of geese. n
And now, the birds are down.
They no longer can be said to be
lettering, and the marked decrease
in their numbers proves the Fish and
Wildlife Service was right. In fact,
it will be surprising If 1t is not
found necessary to further curtail
the daily bag or impose a closed
season on the species.
At the rate hunters have been
using up their stock of shells there
need be no worry about the Canadas,
or the ducks, for where there are
10 blinds today next season there
will be only one.

DETROIT, Dec. 2S.-One OF De-
troit's leading patrons of the bowl
ing game, Banker Herbert A. Herb
Mertens, rolled up proposal today
for the postwar formation Of an
intercity tenpin league.
Mertens, making his proposal in
formally, suggested that the cities
in which the sport especially thrives
could get together a league with
ABC sanction that would CORE
spond to organized baseball and
football.
Its bound to come Mertens
said, land as soon as the war is over

started"
An enthusiast of the sport, Mer-
tens has been prominent with its
great progress in Detroit. Johnny
Crimmins, best known Of Detroit s
aces. owes part of his fame to the
interest Mertens gave him.
Mertens suggested that such cities
as Chicago, Milwaukee, Cincinnati,
Buffalo. Cleveland. St. Louis and
Columbus be included In the league.
There would be two representa-
tive teams" from each city playing
weekly matches, one at home while
the other was away.
Bowling is becoming spectator
sport" Mertens said, land I believe
league of star teams meeting each
other every week would be one of
the most popular in any sport.
While we can't predict Just what
is going to happen after the war.
I'm sure that bowling league such
as have mentioned will be
formed"

tie entering the fnal period. but
the house then fell in on them.
Five times In the third period the
Reds sent the puck past Goalie
