CICERO HUNTERS
DESTROYING SPORT
A P Newsfeatures

NEW YORK-"Cicero hunters,
moon shooters, bar walkers, bank
hunters and Johnny Highshots are
destroying Americas sport of hunt
ing. The shooting manners of this
,orde of untaught novices must be
improved or the time may come,
as it had in Europe before the
war, when only the wealthy can
hunt.
This is the warning of Charles
E. Gillian, famed wild life biolo-
gist, in the current Outdoorsman.
Gillian, chief Of the Sports
mems Service Bureau of Olin In
dustries, says that the menace of
the tyro to hunters as well as
game, is a recent development
which must be removed by hunt
tiers themselves.
1--WE hunters must take these
Johnny Highshots' into our blinds
and teach them the ethics of the
sport whether they want to learn
them or not. Practically all things,
from World War down to plain
family fights, are q result of lack
of respect for other peoples
rights. We must teach Johnny
Highshot' what other peoples
rights are" says Gillian.
To-day, unless properly man.
aged, public shooting areas are
shambles. Some of the new crop
of would-be hunters take pot
shots at high flying birds with
buck shot. Others shoot at sitting
birds, shoot across blinds or raise
such a racket that birds keep out
of range.
1.-THE tyro terrors are a coast
forecast menace and have become
such a nuisance that they have
earned various unsavory localized
nicknames. Central Louisianans
call them Cicero hunters. In
Illinois they are known as Moon
Shooters in Arizona B n k
Hunters They are also called
Bar Walkers from their habit
of walking exposed on barren
bars in search of game which in
variably fees on the sight of a
man with a gun.
present shooting conditions
won't improve unless qualified
shooters take the trouble to teach |
better manners to the novices,"
Eillham declares.

The nations three race traces,

grams started hours earlier than

games in nine cities from coast to
coast and played before SO, 2S4 spec
tators. The top crowd was the IT,
576 at Chicago which saw the
Blackhawks tie for first place in
the National Hockey league with
a victory over Toronto.
College basketbaI's schedule was
slim, including only. three double
headers in the east and three major
games in the midwest, but drew,
81, 1897 spectators, and professional
basketball added $500 more.
Boxing at Milwaukee, Lawrence,
Mass, and Salem, Mass, drew ap-
proximately 5000; 1000 watched
the National Junior tennis finals
at New York, and 10000 saw a
speed skating meet at Detroit.
In all, eight different sports took
part in the record turnout.

Contract With Brooklyn

Hickey also evidently overlooked
Durocher's fracas with a fan at
Ebbets Field last summer, result
inng in "The Lip' being hauled
into court on assault charges,
along with a ball park policeman.
The two were accused of striking
the fan and landing him in a hos
pital after he allegedly used pro-
fame language in expressing his
opinion of the Dodgers. The case
still is pending.
This will be Durocher's eighth
season with the Dodgers. The for
mer New York Yankees, Cincin-
natl and st. Louis Cardinals short
stop piloted the Brooklyn club to
one pennant-in 1941. The Dod-
gers lost to the Yankees in the
world series, one game being de-

q NOMINATED
FOR BASEBALL'S
HALL OF FAME
One Or More OF Diamonds

BY GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Up
The finals" have been reached in
the balloting for basebalTs Hall of
Fame with the announcement Of
81 nominees today, and it is high
ly likely that one or more diamond
immortals will be added to the Au-
gust assemblage at Cooperstown,
N. Y. late this month when the
votes are canvassed.

Hornsby was named by the requi.

ing baseball writer's, has a player
gained admittance to the select
circle. The new system of holding
a preliminary, or qualifying round
Of balloting, was installed for the
express purpose of breaking the
log-jam.
OF the 81 finalists chosen by 202
members of the Baseball Writer'S
Association of America, 10 were
pitchers, nine infielders and two
catchers. Not an outfielder was
nominated, most of the experts APP.

forcements.
Following a,e the nominees, from
which the writer now will pick their
top five choices, with rs percent
vote necessary to elect:
Pitchers: Chief Bender, Morde.
cal Brown, Dizzy Dean, Clark
Griffith, Lefty Grove, Carl Hubbell.
Herb Pennock, Joe McGinnity,
RUDE Waddell and Ed Walsh.
Infielders: Frank Baker, Frank
Chance, Johnny Evers, Frank
Frisch, Charley Gehringer, Miller
Higgins, Rabbit Maranville, Joe
Tinker and Pie Traynor.
Catchers: Mickey Cochrane and
Bill Dickey.
OF these, 1t would appear that
Chance, the famous Chicago Cubs
first baseman, is the closest thing
to a cinch to be fitted for a bust.
Last year, with the votes scattered
among 81 players, he barely miss
ed, receiving 179 votes where 1856
were necessary for election.
Rube Waddell, the AS great and
eccentric pitcher, was strong
second, with Big Ed Walsh third
and Johnny Evers fourth. BY some
strange oversight, Roger Bresna-
han, heavy-hitting catcher of the
old Giants, failed of nomination
this time, though he was fifth
choice last year.
Others of the present list who
received more than 100 votes in the
last abortive election were Higgins.
Cochrane, Griffith and Frisch. The
strong support for Higgins and
Griffith reflects their fame as
managers rather than as players,
though Griff was a good enough
pitcher to lead the American
League in 1941.
Of the % present members Of the
Hall of Fame. only II could be
said to have been elected entirely
on their merit as players. OF the
others, some were named for their
outstanding success as managers,
such as Connie Mack and John
McGraw, or for otherwise making
important contributions to the
game. The late. Judge Lands was
named by a special Hall of Fame
committee in 1912.
1t has been felt that numerous
great players were overlooked in
the early years of balloting for the
hall, and it is hoped through the
new system to gain a slow but
steady flow of additions.

New Byesville Plant
Benefits Noble County

Contract for the sale of the
Lempco plant in Byesville has
been awarded to the Massillon
Aluminium Company, of that city,
according to word received by
Robert T. Secrest from Attorney
General Tom Clark.
1t is reported that the new plant
will start operation within the
month, employing between 900
and 800 men and women. This will
be particularly beneficial to Noble
county as it will be impossible for
Byesville or Guernsey county to
furnish all the labor necessary.
The plant will draw from prac-
tically every county in this district
and its payroll should affect many
in Noble county.
The plant was formerly built by
the United States government for
use in war industry. 1t is COM
pletely in readiness for the Mas
sillon Aluminium.
