lard and blue-winged teal and in
creased in the black duck and
wood duck
The streams surveys indicated an
increase in the wood duck and
decrease in mallard production.
Average brood sizes remained ap-
proximately the same as last year.
At the DaIaware Reservoir an
increase was noted in the number
of broods of black ducks and blue
winged teal. The number of NAL
lard broods decreased somewhat
while the wood duck broods re-
mained about the same The wood
duck nest box checks indicated
about a 21s per cent decrease
over last year in the degree Of
utilization.
1t appears that statewide there
is an increase in the number of
mallards, black ducks and blue
winged teal produced with wood
duck production remaining about
on a level with last year.

The aim was to have only the
best in talent from these fields.
Even though the Golf Jamboree
would benefit such a worthy cause,
there was no attempt to sell the
public on an attraction that can
not be rated as first class IN every
respect.
After consulting with the var
ious committees and other persons
concerned with raising money TO
build golf course for patients at
the Chillicothe Veterans Hospital,
it was decided to temporarily post
pone the Jarnboree until the prop
er talent is available for an out
standing presentation
The campaign that has been con-
Quoted to collect old golf equip
ment for the hospital patients will
continue despite revision OF plans
for the Jamboree. The collection
has been very gratifying, assuring
that the clubs, golf bags. shoes,
etc, will be put to good use on the
hospital pitch and putt course un-
I'll it is possible to arrange for the
building of 2 regulation nine-hole
course.
Co-Chairmen James A. Rhodes
and Harry f. Richter expressed
thanks to everyone who so gener-
ously has contributed to this cause.

After Grieve had sent in his re-
port to the league office in Chicago
three Yankees were fined "a total
of $500 for mistreating an UNI
pire."

fielder, waited in the runway for

But Umpire Charlie Berry got be-

Grieve had been umpir'ing too
long and never had a player ac-
cuse him of a bribe.
Grieve received his first great
shock in 1889, his second year in
the majors.

Gehrig took called strikes without
taking the bat off his shoulder.
II felt terrible when Lou turned
around several times and said"

WESTBURY, N. Y. P-When
John Simpson was general man.
ager of the worlds largest stand
ardbred horse nursery at Hanover.
Pa, he believed in permitting hor-
ses to find their own gait.
Young horses were started on a
leash or shank. Some fell into a
trot or a pace naturally, regard
less of their breeding.
Simpson, 36, and one of the lead
ing harness drivers at Roosevelt
Raceway this season, still believes
in that method.
PAGERS. statistics show. average
slightly faster times that trotters.
Years ago PAGERS were few, but to-
day the fastest PAGER can beat the
fastest trotter.
The two differ in several respects.
A trotter puts his right front foot
on the ground simultaneously with
his left hind foot.
The PAGER travels in lateral or
sidewise motion, putting his right
front foot to the ground simultane-
ously with his right hind foot. For
this reason harness experts call
them sidewheelers.
A simple description would be
that trotter has the forward mo-
ton of dog jogging while PAGER
goes like an elephant. Yet PAGERS
average better times.
PAGERS wear straps, called hop
Piles, while racing. These help pro-
vide better control of his legs ard
keep him on a perfect gait.
