Red Schoendienst and his

infielder could start spring

The 37-year-old Schoendienst

with tuberculosis.
Il thought it might be bet
ter for Red to begin workouts
with the pitchers and catchers
February 25," McHale said.
He probably will want to set
a slower pace when he starts
his drills and may need more
time than the others.
"On the other hand. there's
the chance that to much train
ing on his part might prove
toe tiresome. So We have con-
suited his doctor as to what he
recommends"
McHale said he had reaSsur-
ing news from Del Crandall
that his injured back is com
ing along fine" and that he
would be on hand with the
other Milwaukee batterymen
when practice begins. Crandall
has been suffering from what
was described as an "irritated

What should you do when
you hit bowling slump?
tell my pupils to go first of
all to their fundamentals -
footwork. arm swing and tim
ing.
Take one fundamental at a
time. Are you lunging at the
foul line? Do you finish squared
away to the target? Are your
steps in straight line toward
the target? Is your first step a
short and slow one?
Next, work on your arm
swing. Is your pushaway mo-
ton long enough to get the ball
into motion properly? Is your
backswing no higher than your
shoulder? Is your arm swing a
smooth, natural pendulum
swing? Are you hitting youl
spot out on the lane?
Lastly, how about your tim
ing? Does your arm swing tie
in perfectly with your foot
work? Or is one a bit ahead of
the other? Are you in perfect
balance as you release the ball?
You should be-just as I am in
today's picture. There's no
strain or off balance shown
there.
These are the important
points that can make or break
your bowling game. Check them
one at a time. If there's moth
ing wrong with one, go on 10
the next one. Find out what's
wrong, and practice to eliminate
it.

HUNTING
and
FISHING

West Virginia is considering
three important changes in its
hunting regulations next year.
all Of which are aimed to pro-
vide more hunting.
The first would extend the
rabbit season through the
month of January, the same as
Virginia's season east Of the
Blue Ridge.
The second would add a six
day bucks only season to a six
day hunters choice season in
several of the counties, thus
giving sportsmen II, days to
hunt deer.
The third would allow hunt
ing of small game at the same
time as deer in all bucks only
counties and throughout the
tWo-week buck k-hunting period
This has been barred in the
past.
Hunting for squirrel. grouse,
raccoon. opossum. skunk and
turkey in those counties where
permitted would open october
IS and close January T. The
dates for quail and pheasant
would be November ll-Janu-
ary. While the rabbit season
also would open November II.
The bow season for deer
would be October 15-Docember
81 while the regular hunters
choice season would be Novem-
ber 28-December 3 and the
bucks only season, December s.
December 10.
Bear season would be No.
vember 1-November "a while
there would be a continuous
open season on fox. weasel.
wildcat and woodchuck with no
limits.
Before formal action, the
Conservation Commission at
Charleston is seeking the opin-
ions Of farmers. sportsmen and
other interested groups.
West Virginia also reports
that fines and costs totaling
S8,567.50 were paid by game law
vIolators during the last deer
season. Prosecutions totaled 23l
in the six days of hunting
Some cases still are pending.
The violations were broken
down into nine categories. in
cludlng loaded gun in vehicle,
l21; improper license, %;
hunting after killing deer, 20;
unlawful hunting, II; uncased
gun in vehicle at night, 13;
hunting on posted land, II; il
legal possession Of deer, 10;
conspiring in game law viola
tion, 4, and failure to check
deer, l.
For such violations as hunt
ing after killing a deer, illegal
possession of deer and failure
to check a deer. the fine ranges
from 500 to $500.
In the 1858 season 312 pros
ecutlOns resulted in fines and
