Estimated harvest Of fish and
game In Iowa last year was 1901.
$50 pounds, divided almost equally.
The game included $4,000 pheas-
ants, 1000 ducks. 10000 quail. 500
geese. l,2l6.000 rabbits and $4,000
squirrels. In addition there were

Didrikson Is Golf Terror
Women who play amateur golf
have a new rival to watch. Her
name is Babe Didrickson-or Mrs.
George Zaharias.
If the Babe had concentrated on
any one sport there would have
been no one else close-including
golf and tennis. She had been a
track and field star many years be-
fore she went out for golf.
Even with her delayed start, she
now is capable of reaching the low
70s with the socking power Of
strong man. In fact. there are not
so many good pros who can outdrive
the Babe. I've seen her more than
once reach 540-yard hole with
drive and spoon.
Reinstated as an amateur, she
now will be able to bother more than
a few stars who have been around

To City Tracks
PIonts Reached MoinIy
By Auto Not Expected
To Hold Meetings
Ey the Associated Press


NEW YORK. Feb 6.-The auto
mobile may be here to stay-but not
at a race track in wartime.
One racing plant already has closed
at the request of Washington rub
ber officials because automobiles
were the favored means of transpor-
tation and it is probable that racing
for the duration will be confined to
such metropolitan centers as New
York, Chicago. Baltimore, New Or
leans and Louisville.
Rubber Administrator william M
Jeffers, whose request to the Cover
nor of California brought about the
closing of Bay Meadows, said he was
writing the Governors of all States
sponsoring racing asking them to
halt turf programs where rubber
shod vehicles were used to convey
patrons.
Il am making the request only of
tracks which are some distance from
metropolitan centers and where 1t is
necessary to get to them on rubber, "
Mr.. Jeffers explained in Washington
late yesterday.
Major Events Would Survive.
Restricting the racing to such cen
ters would permit the running Of the
sports major events-the Kentucky
Derby In Louisville, the Preakness
and Dixie at Baltimores Pimlico, the
Belmont and Suburban at Belmont
here and the American and WASH
ington Derbies in Chicago.
However, in his letter to Gov. Earl
Warren of California, Mr.. Jeffers
also stressed the psychological effect
Bay Meadows operation might have
upon the public.
knowledge that the track is op-
Grating" he wrote, will give the
public the impression that there is
no reason to worry about tires,
which is very far from the truth"
A strict enforcement of that rea-
soning might close all tracks.
William p. Kyne, general manager
of Bay Meadows. who replied yes
terday that we will be good soldiers
and go along with the request" said
today that II think we could show
we could operate without rubber
if that Is the reason for the BAN
but we were not given a hearing"
Stranded Horsemen Need Aid.
At the same time Kyne said he
had asked Jerry Geisler, chairman
of the California Racing Commis-
sion for $40, 900 to aid the stranded
horsemen at his plant. There are
approximately TOO horses at Bay
Meadows, whose five-week meeting
was to have opened February 20.
Closing all tracks away from
metropolitan centers or those de-
pendent to q major degree on rub
ber-borne spectators would darken
River Downs, Thistledown and Ascot
in Ohio, Fairmont in Illinois, Sara
toga in New York, Garden State In
New Jersey, Delaware and Rocking
ham in New England and Keeneland
in Kentucky.
Concentrating the entire season at
the most accessible Of the Maryland
and Chicago parks has been dis
cussed while T1oridas Tropical and
Hialeah Parks already have closed
following the pleasure driving ban
along the Eastern seAcoast.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-Even when
the dice are hottest. a cagy crap
shooter will never press his luck
too far. which is a tip Beau Jack,
the Georgia Jackrabbit, should study
carefully just now.
The Beau took a ten-round decis-
ion over Warhorse Fritzie Zivic in
Madison Square Garden last night
by the slim margin of one body
punch which only Referee Young
Otto and one or two others in the
sell-out crowd of 21,240 thought was
foul" And since the little ex-shoe-
shine boy had that much trouble
disposing of a slowed up Fritzie
Zivic, he should think more than
twice before pressing his luck
against Henry Armstrong, a thing
he is planning to do about April g
The Hammer didn't have too
much trouble taking care of Fritzie,
himself, last. October in Los Angeles.
And since you have to admit the
Beau was more or less flirting with
lady luck in knocking OIL the last
Of the Five Flying Zivics last night,
sticking his chin out at Armstrong
would appear that he's not only
pressing his luck, but trying to make
eight the hard way" with his
currently red-hot dice.
Beau Agsressor All Way.
In fact, you'd have to be lead
ing member Of the Beau Jack Cheer
ing and Chowder Society to say he
was a ball of fire last night. Sure,
he was the aggressor most of the
way in the zippy 10-rounder, but
only because his young legs gave
him a big galloping edge on the
battle-scarred Pittsburgher. This
isn't saying that Fritzie is washed
up-not by several country miles
and q lot of busted beaks-but as
a veteran Of 13 summers In the play
full pastime Of MASKING noses, he
no longer is the Smokytown Sky
rocket who once pounded his way
into the world welterweight cham
pionship.
It may be because they realize this
that the Beau's brain trusters have
about decided not to let their world
lightweight champion CNew York
version) take a chance against
Willie Pep, the Connecticut whiz-
bang, in that tentative March 5
date in the Garden, even though
Wee Willie is only featherweight.
Instead. Jack probably will tangle
with Lulu Costantino, q speedy New
York boy, provided Lulu gets by Bob
Montgomery in Philadelphia Feb
ruary %. After that, the Beau likely
will aim at Armstrong. after Henry
fills out his dance card with Tppy
Larkin March 8 in Los Angeles, and
AL Tribuani in Philadelphia little
later.
Another Packed House.
Perhaps the most unusual thing
about last nights fuss-in addition
to that low" blow Referee Otto saw
was the fact that for the second
straight week the Garden busted oil
