Shows Cause
Deer Losses
Small Come Emerees
in Good Shope

LANSING, Feb. 27-(R)-J. H.
Stephenson. assistant Chief of
the State Conservation Depart
ment's Game division, said to-
day the winters heavy SHOWS
probably caused serious deer
losses, but that small game was
likely TO emerge in good shape,
thanks 10 unharvested soybean
and corn crops.
Field men will not survey
Northern deer yards until next
month, Stephenson said, but the
department expects herd losses
due to starvation to be the heavi-
est since 1885 when deep SHOWS
brought down nearly as many
animals as hunters guns in some
areas.
Stephenson said pheasants
have benefited considerably by
unharvested stands Of corn and
soybeans representing between
80 and so per cent of last years
crops. A recent count in SAM
lac county. he said, showed be-
tween 1000 and 1000 birds on
a 2OO-acre plot of unharvested
soybeans.
Corn and soybean stands also
have offered good wintering for
rabbits, quail and deer below
the Mason Arenac line, Stephen
son said Sportsmen have re-
ported a herd of 85 deer subsist-
ing on soybeans in Livingston
county.

pay no attention to the light
heavy and fly-weight classes.
There were no such divisions
years ago.
The original class limits were
los pounds for bantams, lis for
feathers, 1873 for lightWeightS,
142 for welters, l54 for middle
weights, and anybody scaling
more than that was heavy
And that meant ringside, not al
some trick hour in the early af-
ternoon. Champions, no longer
able to make them, gradually in
creased class limits.
Sullivan was unbeaten for Ia
years, but as ! pointed out in an
earlier piece, he is remembered
as the fat old man of "a who was
beaten by James j. Corbett. AS
bad as he was then, Gentleman
Jim, a remarkable boxer, re-
quired 81 rounds.
That gives you a rough idea of
how formidable Sullivan was al
his peak.
There were long stretches be-
fore and after the Boston Strong
Boys knockout of Paddy Ryan
at Mississippi City in 1882 that
nobody could 60 four rounds
with him, and they came from
all over the world to try it.
l saw the real Sullivan several
times. My father, John ),
Roche, trained and seconded
John Flood and Ryan against
him. The first time Sullivan met
Charlie Mitchell he knocked the
Englishman out into the croWo
ir the third round.
Sullivan, the most popular
fighter who ever lived, wore 4
little black mustache, stood
straight and was exceptionally
fast on his feet. He knew about
feinting, and when he hit you
that was the end.

Work-or-Fight
in Maryland
Gains Favor

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. q -
[?)- A work, fight or 90 to
jail' movement is gaining mo-
r.entum in the Maryland legis-
lature.
Already such a law for one
county has swept through both
H uses and Governor Herbert r
OConor has indicated he Will
approve it. Half dozen other
counties want to be covered UNI
der the provisions.
A bill covering all of Mary
land was prepared but its spon-
sors said today it probably
would be dropped because Balti-
more and Western Maryland
have no migrant farm labor
problem.
1t was the migrant labor pro-
blem which touched off the
mounting tide of Legislative de-
mand for such bills. Last sum-
mer, Eastern shore farmers
complained that many transient
farm laborers worked long
enough to earn few dollars
and then loafed until their mon
ely ran out.
Talbot county got the first To-
cal bill through both houses. 1t
requires every man over Is TO
be "usefully employed every
working day" for the. duration.
This is the bill which Governor
OConor has indicated he will
approve.
Violators could be fined up to
S100 or imprisoned for 80 days.
Second offenders would be liza
BILE to $1,000 fines or year in

less hard on the loafers-are in
