Hursey Says He Won
Make Same Errors
Against Bell Again

Smuggy Hursey, the Washington
middleweight who tangles with Tom
my Bell in next Monday nights
feature fight at Griffith Stadium
has real respect for his opponent.
1t was Bell who ended Hursey's s
string of 13 matches without de-
feat when he took a decision over
the local boy last September. Re-
calling that fight and Bells style
Hursey said yesterday while train
ing at Liberty A. c.: The man can
box and he hits hard with both
hands. He's got a long reach and
he knows how to use it,"
Hursey, however, doesn't think
Bell will repeat his earlier victory
Il expect some things that Larry
Amadee (HurSey's new trainer) has
shown me to make the difference
I won't make the same mistakes this
time and I'm really getting in good
shape. really think I'll beat him. >
While Hursey goes through his
public workouts at Liberty, Bell is
drilling at Stillman's in New York,
but is expected to join Hursey at
Liberty Thursday.
Amadee. who for a while worked
with Joe Louis and who has drilled
other important fighters, figures to
be help to the local boy. "Hursey s
too strong for Bell this time" he
remarked yesterday. I'm showing
him some things that should work
against Bell I've seen Tommy fight
since he was an amateur, and I
think I can call the turn on him."
Meanwhile, things also are shap-
ing up for the Variety Clubs big
boxing show on August 2 which fea-
lures Ezzard Charles against Jimmy
Bivins. Added momentum will be
given this show when Charles and
Bivins report in Washington Friday
to drill near here for 10 days. Ar

athletes grooming for the worlds
biggest sports competition spurred
their training today as heat
wave" warmed up chilly old Lon
don.
After days Of shivering in un-
seasonably low temperatures, a
score of teams already assembled
now are taking advantage of a
warm sun to flex anxious muscles.
Watching his track and field
squad performing in bare arms for
the first time yesterday, Argentine
Coach Francisco Mura said:
"The Argentine boys are hopeful,
now that the sun is out. The rainy,
cold weather of the last two days
had depressed them"
1t was q typical comment as
coaches piled in orders to the Olym-
pic transportation pool to get their
squads into action.
United States swimmers made the
first splash in the Olympic pool
at Wembley since 1t was drained
the first week Of the war in 1899.
They held q brisk workout.
They were to repeat the act to-
day along with swimmers Of four
other nations.
Meanwhile, there was good news
from the box office.
Sir Arthur Elvin, managing di-
rector of Wembley Stadium where
the game will be staged, reported
ticket sales had reached s112,500-
the estimated cost Of staging the
event.
Judging by the present demand
for tickets" he said. this amount
will be considerably exceeded before
opening day July 29"
With only nine days to 60, more
teams from the 81 competing ma
tions were checking in every day.
Delegations from Argentina, Ber-
muda, Chile, Iran, Jamaica, Leb-
anon, Switzerland and Uruguay
were scheduled to arrive today.
There were fresh reports, how
ever, that the 5000 competitors
originally expected might be re-
duced several hundred.
An Associated Press dispatch
from Prague said the Czechoslo-
vakian team had been trimmed to
66, one third its previous force.

Golf Pros Generosity
Saves D. T.. Juniors
From Prize Shutout

The generosity Of Baltimore golf
professionals who donated prizes

Slight Improvement
Shown in Canadian
Duck Population
By the Associotsd Press

OTTAWA, July 20.-That canvas
coated character who gets up in the
middle of the autumn night to
shiver in stagnant swamps probably
will find the Canadian duck season
and bag limits as restrictive as ever
this year.
But duck hunters in some parts of
Canada at least may find more
ducks in their sights than they did
last fall.
Surveys undertaken jointly by
groups Of Dominion, provincial and
United States wildlife experts indi-
cate some limited improvement in
the population of ducks and geese in
North America, despite this years S
foods on the Canadian prairies and
in British Columbia.
On the basis of these surveys, the
1948 regulations are being ironed
out. Canadian regulations probably
will be announced early next month.
Slight Improvement.
However, North Americas water
fowl still are trying to fight their
way back from heavy going which
in three years-from 1914 to 1947-
cut their estimated population in
half. United States and Canadian
authorities, working under an in
ternational conservation treaty, are
expected to keep the clamps down
on open seasons and bag limits un-
til the birds make up these losses.
The conservationists stress that
this years improvement, where it
has occurred, has been slight. Brit
ish Columbia suffered from destruc-
tive floods and the duck situation
is no better than last year, the worst
since 1881.
There is a definite increase in AL
berta, with prospects for fair pro-
duction, and noticeable but small
improvement in Saskatchewan.
Manitoba varies from mo change"
to slight improvement
Some improvement in some species
has been noted in Ontario, although
black ducks are about the same. Re-
production of more Northern water
fowl, extremely poor in 1947, is not
as bad this year.
The Quebec situation is described
as fair" while in the Maritimes
there is expected to be some slight
improvement, but not much change
from 1947.
Hurt BY Floods.
Surveys indicate that whereas
ducks suffered from too little water
during the last few years. prospects
this year of a rapid increase in
population were cut short by floods.
The floods disturbed the ducks in
two ways. Where nesting already
had begun, the nests were destroyed
by the rushing waters. On the
other hand, when ducks nested at
the height of the floods, the duck
lings broke from the shell to find
themselves at fatal distances from
the water which by then had re-
ceded.
Previously the United States Wild
life Service issued estimates of the
duck population. In 1914 it was
estimated at 125,0oo,0OO. This fell
to 100000 in 1946 and $4,000, 900
last January. This year they are
confling themselves to guarded
statements of slight improvement" !"

As defending champions, the Jewel

Washington will have two represen-

the first half crown and any other

Johnstown will have to fight all the

Marks loss to Georgetown was its
only setback of the season.
Not a True Test.

Munro, Marx manager. II don't
say they can't and won't beat us
again, but we didn't have full
strength last time. I will say the
two of us are the best two teams in

Branzell isn't making any predic-

no room on either side for pes
