Although fur and wool felts

Capt. Jimmy Jordan Ambitious.
Capt. Jimmy Jordan, an old-time
party-boat skipper, went South this
winter for the first time in several
years. He figured the fare down
and back would be less than the cost
of heating his Colonial Beach home
Too, he wanted to take a last-min-
ute whack at the 1000 Outstanding
Fishing Achievement Award of
George Rupert. His idea was to
catch a large tarpon on No. 100 cot
ton thread.
If ever you have tried No. "a
thread on hardhead in the Bay, it is
easy to understand what Jimmy
was up against. for No. 100 has just
about one-fourth the strength of
No, "a, and that is approximately
2 pounds when dry, less when the
thread is wet.
Day after day, right up til De-
cember 81, he fished the Miami
River-hooked and landed lots of
little ones, but every time big one
fell for his lure it proved too much
for his light rig. Jimmy offered no
excuses, but it appears his four
score years are slowing him down.
His record for No 100 cotton thread
is Is pounds. He continues to prac-
tice and promises he'll come back
again next year-to break that rec
ord and take the 1000 bucks.

tial enough to earn his classification

Naturally, boxing is threatened

more will go this year. There has

BY w. G. BRAMHAM,
President, National Associa ton of Pro-
fessional Baseball Leagues.

DURHAM, N. c., Jan. 16 CP).-
Minor league baseball still can see
through the fog of world in tur-
mol. Just when or where the boat
will land is not SO easy to determine
at the moment, but the fact remains
We are not completely blinded, and
we are not shedding copious tears.
We know the obstacles in the path
were created by moves necessary in
the prosecution of a war, and we
accept them as such.
Approaching that monotony of
repetition is something to be
avoided, it is difficult to find more
appropriate slogan than the one we
adopted a year or so ago. Minor
league baseball is going ahead, doing
the best it can with what it has
available. If there is a better guide
to be had, We'll be glad to adopt it,
Manpower and transportation are
the two big problem of minor league
baseball as we face the 1943 season.
We will go just as far as our allot-
ment of each will permit.
1t would be foolhardy to think
there is a possibility of operating
under anything like normal condi-
tions. We know the manpower once
available to us is not there now. We
know the transportation facilities
we once enjoyed are not to be had
now.
AS to manpower, we will use the
players the Government can spare
to us from its big job Of carrying on

the war. AS to getting our clubs
around to fulfill their schedules,
first call goes to the need of equip
ment as dictated by the Office of
Defense Transportation. Some of
our leagues may be able to arrange
a consolidation of territory that will
eliminate any long jumps. Well
get around as best we can after the
needs of the armed forces have been
served.
There is one point we want dis
tinctly understood. Minor league
baseball has not and will not ask
any special concessions of the Gov
ernment. If some of our men-play-
ers, officials and other employes-are
needed in the service or important
industrial plants, that is where they
belong. We never have entertained
any idea of withholding anything
for baseball that should be engaged
in restoring peace.
We do feel that baseball, along
with some other amusements, has a
place in the morale picture, but ii
holds that place only to the extent
that the tools it uses can be spared
without impairing the drive to win
the war.
We can't tell now how many
minor leagues will operate this year
There is no lack of courage among
our club operators Many of them
are ready and willing to go if they
can get the players and transporta-
ton. Those who can operate are
aware their task is not an easy one
but they are not shirkers. Those
who find it impossible to continue
will bow gracefully to greater
cause and return stronger than ever
on better day not so far ahead.

OUTDOORS With BILL Ac<ss~An
WoterfowIers Puzzled Over Conflict
In Reports on Number of Birds

Waterfowl gunners would find it
difficult to believe any section along
the Atlantic Coast reported shoot
ing that was not on par with last
year, or that any place in the
United States experienced more of
an increase in the number of birds
than right here in the Chesapeake
Bay country. Yet both are true.
Out of TO observers, in the North
ern tier of States, with an early
season, six reported no better shoot
ing than last season while seven
claim there were fewer ducks than
in 1941. The remainder reported
more ducks and better shooting.
The reasons explaining the poor
reports run from flood conditions
10 bluebird weather and change in
flight routes.
Over the North Atlantic flyway
the increase in wildfowl was notable,
but greater along the Pacific hyWay.
With final check of all returns
that easily might change, but one
way or the other the final tabula-
ton will prove beyond any doubt
that our ducks and geese increased
over even the most optimistic hopes,
and that, with average conditions
on the breeding grounds next spring
the flights next season will be still
larger.
Small-boat owners have been pro-
hibited from selling their craft to
any alien, without first obtaining
the approval of the Maritime Com
mission, ever since the declaration
of national emergency on May 27,
1941. Yet the average person does
not know such a statute is in force,
that friendly aliens are classed the
same as enemy aliens so far as the
law is concerned and. most impor-
tant, that forfeiture Of the craft is
