NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Trader
Frank Lane is so busy making
multiple trades with rival major
league clubs that he simply has
little room on his White Sox
roster for minor league hopefuls.
AS a result. only a dozen rockies

however. These include pitchers

the possibilities of johnson, the

last year. According to the gen.

Of 80. Lane also thinks Donovan,

Now that nearby hunting is
out. except on controlled areas

tice. At the same time he will
benefit his friend, the farmer,
who lets him Shoot on his
grounds, and the wild ducks,
whose young are slaughtered by
thousands in the egg. Old
Jim Grow is a curse to the duck
nesting grounds. and to the
farmers fields of winter wheat.
You can use any gauge shot
gun and any load to fit it and
kill crows. However. most crow
hunters use a trap load with ~
size shot or smaller and make
kills at long ranges. Those left
over duck loads are great for
high-f1ying birds. At this season.
crows gang up and at night roost
in vast numbers in a chosen spot.
If you can find a roost and work
it right, your sport for the rest
of the winter is made. The big
birds spread out during the day
time, and the plinker with his
rifle who haunts the edges Of
ploughed fields in territory In
which it is safe to shoot, finds
excellent targets.
The best book on Grow Shoot
ing is called that and Is by Bert
Popowski, well known outdoor
writer. Before, you lay away your
shotgun, look into this sport Of
crow shooting. II you've never
tried it. you've missed a lot Of
fun.
