Slight Improvement
Shown in Canadian
Duck Population
By th« Associated 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 year’s
floods 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 America’s water
fowl still are trying to fight their
way back from heavy going which
in three years—from 1944 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 year’s 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 1931.
There is a definite increase in Al
berta, with prospects for a fair pro
duction. and a noticeable but small
improvement in Saskatchewan.
Manitoba varies from ‘‘no 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.
nuri bt floods.
Surveys indicate that whereas
ducks suffered from too little water j
during the last few years, prospects!
thLs year of a rapid increase in
population were cut short by floods, j
The floods disturbed the ducks in i
two ways. Where nesting already,
had begun, the nests were destroyed
by the rushing waters. On the
other hand, when ducks nested at
^he 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 1944 it was
estimated at 125,000,000. This fell
to 80.000,000 in 1946 and 54,000,000
last January. This year they are
confling themselves to guarded
statements of “slight improvement.”

Hursey Says He Won't
Make Same Errors
Against Bell Again
Smuggy Hursey, the Washington
middleweight who tangles with Tom
my Bell in next Monday night’f
feature fight at Griffith Stadium
has real respect for his opponent.
It was Bell who ended Hursey’f
string of 13 matches without a de
feat when he took a decision over
the local boy last September. Re
calling that fight and Bell's 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
“I 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. I 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 a 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 Club’s big
boxing show on August 2 which fea
tures 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
rangements have been made to set
up training camps at O'Donnell's
Farm on the Marlboro pike.
Charles currently is drilling at
Pittsburgh while Bivins is at Green
wood Lake, where Ray Arcel is
putting him through his paces.
Georgetown Nine Out to Prove
Win Over Marx Was No Fluke
By Bill Fuchs
Marx Jewelers meet Georgetown
■ in second half play in the National
City Junior Baseball League at
5:30 p.m. tomorrow on the East
'Ellipse and therein lies the answer
• to an important question: Was
[Georgetown's victory over Marx in
[first half competition a fluke?
Looking back over the records,
Georgetown didn’t have any busi
ness beating Marx, but according
i to Joe Branzell, Georgetown Boys’
Club baseball coach, the Hilltop
nine may turn the trick again.
Marx, boasting an array of local
scholastic talent, walked off with
l the loop championship last year and
then took the All-America Junior
baseball crown in Johnstown, Pa.
^s defending champions, the Jewel
ers already have an invitation to
this year's national fight at Johns
town next month. If another team
'beats them out for the local crown
Washington will have two tepresen
jtatives. Marx, however, has taken
the first half crown and any other
team with desires of traveling to
Johnstown will have to fight all the
way.
Marx’s loss to Georgetown was its
only setback of the season.
Not a True Teat.
“But I don't think that was a
true test cf either team," says Jim
Munro, Marx manager. "I 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
the league.”
Branzell isn’t making any predic
tions either, but like Munro, he’ll be
fielding a team comprised of local
high school standouts and there's
no room on either side for pes
simism.
However, Branzell did lose Bobby
Hooker, the former George Wash
ington High School star who re
cently signed a contract with the
St. Louis Cardinals and now is
pitching for Salisbury, of the East
ern Shore League.
“He's the fellow who beat Marx."
says Joe. "He held the Jewelers to
three hits over seven innings. But
I still have a well-rounded staff
though with Willie Zehring (George
Washington), Don Kokes (St.
John’s), Don Snider (Wilson), Bud
dy Jones (Western) and Bill Gray.”
“Gray is a big boy, about 6-4, and
weighs 210 pounds. He reminds
I you of Blackwell (Ewell Blackwell,
.Cincinnati's strikeout artist). When
;he pitches to you he looks like he’s
coming right out of the ground.”
[ Gray played amateur ball in Kansas
before coming to Washington,
Long List of Talent.
Here is a list of the talent clash
ing tomorrow:
For Georgetown — Outfielders
Norm Wacker, Larry Hines and
Jack Malarkey, and Third Base

plete sportsmen's service. He has
nade arrangements with guides for

ing in Mattamuskeet Lake, the
Pungo and nearby rivers as well as
in the sound. This fall it will be
possible for a sportsman to combine
a trip for deer, bear, quail and

this, he can fish for stripers, weak
fish and other bay and river species,
then go over to Ocracoke Beach for
channel bass, and later take a boat
offshore for amberjack, dolphin and
other Gulf Stream denizens.
Illegal seine hauling for striped
bass continues to be an almost
nightly occurrence in the Eastern
Bay area, according to reports of eye
witnesses. The boats operate after
dark with total disregard of Mary
land's laws, and apparently nothing
is being done about it by the en
forcement branch of Maryland's
Department of Tidewater Fisheries.
The Chesapeake Bay is chock full of
small rockfish, many of which are
undersize, and besides depredations
of commercial law violators, thou
sands of these small, undesize fish
are being taken by so-called sport
fishermen. Why any sport angler
wishes to take and keep these baby
rockfish is beyond us, but the fact
remains. Give ’em a chance, fellows.
Throw those babies back!

'HeatWave' in London
Gives Olympic Aces
Chance to Warm Up
By Bill Macklin,
Aiiociatvd ftm Sports Wrltor
LONDON, July 20. — Olympic
athletes grooming for the world's
biggest sports competition spurred
their training today as a “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 talcing 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.”
It was a typical comment as
coaches piled In orders to the Olym

United States swimmers made the
first splash In the Olympic pool
at Wembley since it was drained
the first week of the war in 1939.
They held a 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 $112,500—
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 go, more
teams from the 62 competing na
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 5,000 competitors
originally expected might be re

Golf Pros’ Generosity
Saves D. C. Juniors
From Prize Shutout
The generosity of Baltimore golf
professionals who donated prizes
for the Junior sweepstakes saved
Washington golfers from coming
away empty handed in the Middle
Atlantic PGA pro-junior tourna
ment yesterday at Green Spring
Valley.
Four District juniors won low net
prizes, Johnny Eisinger of Kenwood
J with a net 72. Don Kurth of Ken
wood with 74 and John Shilling
of Kenwood and Denny Bolster of
Bethesda with 75s. No District
juniors were among the gross win
ners, led by Billy Buppert of the
C. C. of Maryland and Paul Havi
land of Baltimore C. C. with 75s.
The District had no winners in
the pro-junior or pro sweepstakes
division, but won some of the extra
awards.
Johnny Kelly, the pro at the
Ocean View Club in Norfolk who
tied for third in the Maryland Open
last week, made another profitable
trip as he paired with Dave Mondy
of his club to win the pro-junior
with a best ball 64. That was one
stroke better than 65s by Andy Gib
son and Buppert, Johnny Bass with
Richard Pullen and Allen Thrasher
and Kelly with his other partners,
Billy Hyler and Perry Kelly.
Gibson's three-under-par 69 won
the pro sweeps over Kelly and
Maryland Open Champion Charles
Bassler with 72s. Jimmy Flattery
of Forest Park had a 73.
Scores of District pros were:
Harry Griesmer of Bethesda, 75;
Bobby Bowers of Indian Spring, 76;
Eddie Jones of Prince Georges and
George Diffenbaugh of Kenwood,
77s; Bob Burnett of Chevy Chase,
78, and A1 Jamison of Quantico, 79.

ABOARD THE S. S. AMERICA,!
July 20.—Avery Brundage, a storm
center of amateur sports for years,
says this is the last time he will lead
United States forces into the
Olympic Games.
The man who has guided United
States Olympic affairs for nearly 20
years and ridden out numerous con
troversies made the announcement
with quiet informality as the bulk
of America’s 1948 team neared
English port.
"I think it’s a good thing for the
presidency to be passed around,” he
said casually.
The announcement came as a
complete surprise to the United
States Olympic delegation, number
ing more than 300 athletes and offi
cials, on board this giant liner.
Brundage has held the Olympic
post since 1929. He was elevated
after the 1928 games at Amsterdam
at wnich Gen. Douglas MacArthur
was the chief.
Another announcement that had
United States Olympians buzzing to
day was that by Track Coach Dean
Cromwell that big Mai Whitfield
may try an “iron man” feat in the
middle-distance events in this year's
games.
Cromwell said he may enter Whit
field in both the 400 and 800 meter
; runs—specialties he won in the
Olympic tryouts at Evanston, 111.—
rand let him run one leg of the 1,600
meter relay.
Originally it was thought this task
would be too much for the durable
Army sergeant who also attends
Ohio State but, Cromwell sayfc,
Whitfield has asked for the assign -
; ment.
The ship is due to arrive in South
I ampton late today but the Ameri
cans will not disembark until to
morrow morning. The games begin
I July 29.
Burning Tree Seniors Playing
Par Golf in Modernized Tourney
Burning Tree, which previously
ran its club championship tourna
ment on an invitation basis, with
the club president requesting the
presence of a select 16 club members
to compete for the President’s Cup,
has modernized its title play this
year.
The Golf Committee and Pro Max
Elbin changed the order of play and
seven flights in all qualified for
match play, the first time the tour
nament has been played on this
basis at the exclusive River Road
Club.
Despite the limited membership
at Burning Tree, the caliber of golf
has been equal to any club title
tournament in town. Although the
club membership predominantly is
the senior class golfer, the sun
hardened fairways are giving up a
lot of roll and the men who depend
on a lot of roll for distance are
getting it.
Col. Tom Belshe and John McClure
tied for the medal with 1-over
par 73s. McClure has won his way
to the final after a 1 up semifinal
victory over Roger Whiteford, last
year’s Middle Atlantic senior cham
pion.
The other final-round berth will
be filled by either Col. Belshe, a
former Federal golf champion, or
Ned Burnham. Both Belshe and
Burnham are playing their best
golf at this time, and last Sunday
before learning what the other
scored—doubtless wished that the
match was being played that day.
In a round with Chevy Chase Pro
Bob Barnett, Belshe reported a 71,
only to learn that Burnham had
played the front nine in two-under
par 34. Burnham recently had a
38-31—69, and in the Middle At
lantic Senior tournament was out
in par 36, but faltered on the back
nine.
Meanwhile, play has advanced to
semifinals and final rounds in other
flights and Elbin reports the “ex
periment" is a success and probably
will be followed in future years.
