in waterfowl shooting this fall, too
and transportation, at least along
the coast, will not be solely to
blame. Many of the finest shooting
grounds have been in areas now
set aside for naval and Coast Guard
installations. There is no doubt that
shooting will not be allowed near
them.
Down along the North Carolina
coast, the old abandoned beach sta
tions are being taken back and
manned. The famous Goose Wing
Club at Hatteras gave way to this
necessity. Ray Adams Whale Head
Club on Currituck Sound, where sc
many Washingtonians shot, is gone
But there will be more and better
shooting this fall, despite transpor-
tation difficulties and other restric-
tons, than we have enjoyed In many
years. The flights will fill every
pothole and marsh In every State
In the Union.

OUTDOORS With BILL 4ektn~A~
Florido's Winter Fishing Outlook Drob,
Due to Wartime TruveI Restrictions

Capt. Bill Hatch in a normal sea-
son now would be chasing white
marlin off Ocean City. But with
that and other Northern offshore
fishing out for the duration, he is
home and like other charter fisher
men in the South Florida area is
running regularly, East Coast
fishing this summer is better than in
many years. One day last week
Bill hooked as many as l6 sailfish.
Many of the regular Miami party
boat shippers are in the service One
finds at the docks now only those
beyond an acceptable age and new
boats and strange faces. The sport
fishing game has supplied its full
share of the offshore patrol.
Possibly the coming winter will
not see even reasonable activity on
the Florida fishing front. Trans
portation might prove too much of
a problem.

anteed the stiffest competition he
has known in years. On the spot
also will be Irwin Carlberg, Wash

ern Maryland, each defending Sec
tor title.

100-shoe qualifying test, only Hen

ter than an even chance of staying
in the saddle.
Hume Big Threat in d. C.
Exempt from qualifying as metro
politan champion, Henson neverthe-
less fired the preliminary unofficially
and marked up high score of 254
which included 81 ringers, a per-
formance worthy OF a world cham
pion
Chief threat to Carlberg is South
paw Clare Hume. newcomer hailing
from the University of Oregon. who
caused sensation by shooting n
ringers and scoring 239 points to be
the official high man of the prelimi-
nary. Carlberg trailed him by 7

Lacey, former District champion
and current Federal employees title
holder who qualified with 65-225.
