Boxers Risking Clean
ID. {. States in U|ine
Show Tomorrow

Three 8-round matches, each fea-
turing boxer undefeated in WASH
ington rings, share top billing on
Goldie Ahearn's first show OF the
year at Uline Arena tomorrow night.
The top attraction probably is that
between Vic Creelman, the red
haired New York lightweight, and
Billy Banks, District Negro scrapper.
It's return bout, Vic having shaded
Banks recently at Uline in fight
close enough to call for this rematch.
Five of Creelman's string of 80
triumphs have been registered here.
He's a speedy, accurate boxer whose
snaky left carries plenty of zip,
Banks is two listed puncher who
also has lots of speed. As an added
incentive for these two boys to go
all out tomorrow night is promise
of a match for the winner against
Sammy Angott, National Boxing
Association lightweight champion,
on February T..
The other boys with perfect local
records fighting tomorrow night are
Aaron Perry, Harry Garsh's prom
Using young colored lightweight, and
Oklahoma Eddie White, hard hitting
heavyweight.
Perry, who is undefeated in his
nine pro starts. has shown himself
cool under fire and carries knock
out in that fast right hand, but
there's chance his winning streak
will be stopped when he faces Hi
bert Samuels, stablemate- OF Bob
Montgomery. A tongn, aggressive
colored boy, Samuels recently gave
Creelman~a real argument here be-
fore losing the decision.
White, the slugger, goes against
Danny Cox, versatile New York Ne
gro boxer, in what also has the max
ings of a hot match. White has won
five Of his six matches here by
knockouts.

show, first fight at $3.50.

the time to plan seasons for 1874
that will permit hunters to garner
an equitable harvest with the fewer
shells at hand.
Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson. director OF
the Fish and Wildlife Service, who
ruled with hard hand back in
those days when it was necessary,
has eased the regulations every sea-
son when he believed it possible to
do so. For that reason there is
every right to believe that the new
regulations will take into considera-
ton the need for a change in the
seasons at least until conditions get
back to normal.
No Shell Shortage Noted.
With nearly all the hunting sea-
sons over except those in the far
South We wonder if there really was
a shortage of ammunition and shells.
1t is true beginners and those i'm
provident enough not to lay in a
reasonable stock were restricted to
some extent, but they apparently
managed to pick up few here and
there. Wildfowlers took out approx
mately the same number of licenses
as last year, so far as it Is possible
to ascertain at this time. There
was no decline in the numbers of
licenses issued for upland game and
deer.
There seemed to be as many hunt
ers afleld and they all seemed to
have ammunition and shells aplenty
In some instances We saw the same
old waste. Under such conditions it
would be hard to believe there wasn't
enough to go around.
Probably there will be much COM
plant next year, too, but hunters
will be found following their usual
devious ways afield and astream.

With more ducks and geese than
present-day hunters ever had seen
coming down the fyways this sea-
son, there still was not what might
be termed good shooting, for, while
nature proposes on one hand, she
disposes with the other.
With the current season closing
tomorrow, now is the time to plan
for another year, so it might be well
to look back over the past 70 days
to find out why there wasn't good
shooting.
There is the contention of nine
out of every 10 wildfoWlers that the
seasons over the entire country are
not late enough. There Is much
to be considered in this.
Back in the early 30s, when it was
nip and tuck as to whether our
waterfowl would stage a comeback
or follow the dodo bird into OBJ
livion, short seasons. and at time
when the kill would be the smallest,
were very much in order. Sports
men didn't like it, but took the re-
strictions in full. stride. Now, with
the need to save every bird possible
past, there is no good reason why
there should not be shooting over
the entire month of January. at
least in those areas where the
weather is cold enough to forestall
early mating.
Then there Is the little matter of
numbers to be considered. Given
another migration such as the pres
ent one and there would not be
sufficient feed to winter the ducks
and geese through the cold months,
let alone to send them back North
in shape to raise another crop.
Longer Seasons Needed.
The fall migration of our water
fowl is dictated by nature and with
every contributing factor following
an average trend 1t would be much
the same year after year, but those
factors are so variable there is
considerable annual difference.
Take this season for instance.
There was open water in the north
land almost through half of our
last open season-that in the South
ern zone. There was subnormal pre-
cipitation. high temperatures and
an abundance of feed in the fields.
While there was an early movement
of the birds it never became gen.
erel The migration has been
called drift" rather than mass
movement.
This drift combined with blue
bird weather, made condition that
favored the birds. 1t is doubtful if
the kill will approach the permits
sible 10 per cent-a crop which must
be taken to hold the hordes within
bounds. If hunters do not make the
harvest Old Mother Nature will by
starvation.
Therefore, considering our present
dire need for additional food, now is
