see why the beetles, impalled on a

Our warning about the handling
of fly lines or any plastic materials
while hands are moist with the new
preparations used to ward off insects
came too late for George Huber.
George reports that when he applied
the dope literally around his tenn
pies, 1t softened the frames of his
glasses so much they stuck to his
hair. Be sure and wipe your hands
carefully after using these insect
repellants before you handle any
thing in the way of fly lines or
plastic materials Of any sort.
Maryland's choice of a split duck
hunting season so that both sports
men on the Susquehanna Flats and
gunners in the southern section of
Chesapeake Bay might have a
chance at some sport is at best a
gamble. An early or a late migra-
ton of waterfowl, or the vagaries of
the weather, might block out either
or both of the split seasons agreed
on. Maryland duck hunters not
only will have the shortest season
ever offered them, but from all indi-
cations the coming season also may
be about the poorest.

Ferrier's Sfeadiness
Tells Against Haas
In ST. Paul PIayoff
BY the Assoeioted Press

ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 5.-Jim
Ferrier Of Chicago today added the
st. Paul Open golf championship to
his Professional Golfers Associa-
ton title and $2,1s4es to his bank
account because Of a three-stroke
victory IN a playoff with Fred Haas,
jr.. Of New Orleans.
Ferrier yesterday toured the 6,432-
yard Keller course in 68 strokes, 4
under par, while Haas had to be
content with II and 81 400 plus
$194.69 as his share of the playof
gate. Terriers first money was
$4,000 and he received an equal
share of the playof gate.
Ferrier, calm and shooting every
shot with almost the same stance,
counted four brides and IA par
holes for his SO. Haas sank four
brides also, but went one stroke
over par on three others to wind up
with a medal score one stroke below
par u.
Haas and Ferrier finished the
scheduled 70 holes Sunday with
272, making necessary the playoff,
the fourth in the Journeys history
Terriers steady game and ability
to get out of trouble served him well
on one occasion and saved him from
more serious difficulty on another.
On the short fourth hole his drive
landed in sand trap in front of
the green, but he took only about
a teaspoon OF sand as he put the
ball 3 feet from the cup. He holed
out for a par to match Haas 8.
His drive on the 18th hole hit a
spectator and the ball landed on
the fringe of the green, but his chip
shot left him only an 18-inch putt
for a par 4 to Haas birdie 3.
Haas birdie on that hole left
him two strokes behind Ferrier, but
the latter made it three strokes on
the 10Th with a birdie 8 to Haas 4.
They ended the match with par
figures on the 18th and 18th holes.
