Michigons Owns
Duck Marshes

LANSING, July 27 - State
owned duck shooting marshes
on Lake Erie will be known
hereafter as the Erie and Pointe
Mouillee state game areas.
The conservation department
has acquired approximately six
miles of shoreline on a peninsula
which extends into Lake Erie
and which is an eastern boun-
Diary of Maumee bay in the ex-
treme southeast section of the
state, the shoreline fronting both
on the bay and on the lake. Pur-
chase of the 2,608-acre. Pointe
Mouille marsh, % miles south of
the Detroit city hall at the
mouth of the Huron river, was
approved by the conservation
commission last January. A pri-
vate shooting club property for
many years, the name is re-
tained because generations of
duck shooters have known it as
Pointe Mouillee.
With acquisition of the two
properties, the department will
administer blic shooting
grounds on two of the three
good waterfowl marshes along
the Michigan shore of Lake
Erie. The third, the Monroe
marshes, are at the mouth of the
River Raisin, about midway be-
tween the Erie and Pointe
Mouillee marshes.

Bic Bass

Tappan Lake, relatively un-
discovered as yet by Ohio fisha
men has been producing goO
catches of largemouth bass this
year. Patches of smart weed
vegetation in the lake as well as
submerged logs and stumps, pro-
vide hiding places for the bass
and this is believed to be one
reason for the success of casters
using plugs. Bluegills and bull
head catfish are next in the
catch reports of fishermen.

Now that the war is over,
many of the women of for
eign countries where some
of our fast-talking GI's were
stationed, want to come to
America to see those "pure
marble telephone poles and
streets of gold" and where
everyone is millionaire. "
All that | can say is that
those gals are in for bigger
surprise than the Jap war
lords were when the atomic
bombs began to fall.

Richard Gosser had the
audacity to even think that
Jim Crowley would forget"
to count a few teeny weeny

think that the Tigers have
the best pitching staff in the
league and possibly in the
country.
But as real baseball fans
know, a team can't win on
pitching only-it takes play
ers scoring runs to win ball
games. The Tigers are well
equipped what with Roy
Cullenbine with 13 homers,
Rudy York with II, Eddie
Mayo having blasted nine,
and Hank Greenberg with
seven to his credit. Anyone
of these b a IS m e n might
break up ball game any
time he may be up to bat.
They are all dangerous hit
ters. Besides, the Tigers have
a few heavy hitters on the
Buffalo club and can call on
them whenever they are
needed.
The choice of the big bet
tors, however, is the Wash
ington team because they are
playing consistent ball and
the Tigers are playing 800
ball at this time. But if the
Tigers bolster up and win
some of the close ones which
they occasionally lose they
will b ecome the betting
favorites.

two old cronies who had

years in their native Scot

According to Gus Dorais
coach of the Detroit Lions
football team, his veteran
halfback, Bob Keene, is best

the only golfer who can hit
ball five times for a total O
five yards, or less.
