Sprks Nip Movttana Teachers By RON GEMMELL Nossir, huntin and f ishin' just ain't .what they used to was. A body hasr to work too hard, anymore, to catch his gelf a buck or a mess o' trout. Too manydadblasted rules and . regulations these here days. These ' ar- impressions, at, least, to be gleaned from a Mill City' oldtlmer" who addressed himself to Elmer Church, at that time secretary of the Sa lem Hunter and Anglers dab '. bat who since has been elevated to- the presidency Writes the oldtlmer,- whose name is with held for obvioas reason: - . "Dear Church : ? ' '' "According to your name I sup pose you go to church on -week nights and go hunting and fish ing on Sunday. : "please erace.my name from the membership of the S a.l e m Hunters and Anglers club. I do not choose to belong to It, and by striking my 'name off it will re lieve the club of any and all anxiety regarding me. "Sometime ago a friend of mine Came along and said give me a dollar Dick to join the Salem Hunters and Anglers club. To get Sid of him without loosing time by talking to him, Z handed him a dollar. "I do not choose to be a mem ber of the club. I am in no way at all interested in it. Prior to the time that laws were estab lished on the statute, compel ling citizens to bay a license in order to hunt or fish, I was 'an ardent regular hunter and angler. But after the establish--, meat of the license laws I have never taken out any license and I hare never went hunting or fishing. Seven at a Crack, "The license laws spoilt and ruined the sport for me. The laws changed altogether my way of . hunting and fishing . therefore 1 Immediately lost all lntrest in the sport, and hare never since been In the least intrested. "Prior to the enactment ' of those license laws I used to go out whenever I choose, with my brace of dogs take them into the timber and get them started trail-S ing, and then sit down and smoke my pipe. After a while and the while was usually short, my dogs would commence barking indicat ing hot on the heals of the game. "Then by listening to the bel lowing of tke dogs I would get up and hit down towards the river, and I could always tell by the bellowing of my dogs about where they would put the. deer In the river. Usually it was nnlv AMrit Amm. Imo. a three, and one time it was sev en, and on this particular time I shot all seven of the Deer in the river. "None of this meat was wasted. I gave six of the deer to my neigh bors and kept one for myself Likewise I used to go fishing, catch all I could lug home, and give all but a sufficiency for my self to my neighbors. - The license laws made hunting and fishing too hard work. I do not choose in anyway to have anything to do with the sport any more." Laws Necessary, but . unaouoteaiy mere are many more oldtimers who'll agree with our Mill City friend in his belief that game laws have ruined hunt ing and fishing as they -once prac ticed the sports, but it has been because too many rod and gun packers have "lugged home all they could" that these laws have had to be manufactured. It is to be doubted that even our Mill City friend would sanc tion a lifting of these laws If he knew that such act would soon lead to extinction of the deer in our forests and the fish In our streams. The natural greed of man is never mere manifest than when he is on the hunt for game or fish, and it. is because of wholesale slaughter, together with other man mads hindrance placed In the way. of natural propagation of game life such as stream pollu tion and cutting away of forest cover- that have necessitated the laws our Mill City friend finds so ppresslve. Yet, knowing foil, well these laws most be, can yon help but feel a regret that onr friend, the oldtlmer, bo longer can en ter the woods with his brace of dogs anytime the itch may be npon him, nor no longer can poll. himself a mess o trout from his favorite flshin hole, whenever the motion strikes hlmT .. ..

James Winner Over R. Lyons Maintains Undefeated Role to Last ; Ray burn Takes Ace Freeman Gentleman Jesse James main tained his undefeated status in his farewell fling at Salem's ar mory last night, defeating Red Lyons in the program's main event. James took the deciding fall by way of a well-placed dropkick, de livered while the Texas tussler was high against the ropes, and which caught Lyons flush on the chin. The kick upended the red headed grappler, James dived atop him and applied a press that end ed the match. James lost little time in an nexing the first fall, getting it with a surfboard that had Lyons entirely helpless, but he lost the second to Lyons on a leg stret cher. Promotor Herb Owen an nounced James is leaving the lo cal circuit for Hollywood.

' ' ' ' Feller Gathers All Pitching Honors in American Circuit CHICAGO, Dec. 18 ( AP) First and final pitching; honors for the American league's. 1940 season belong to young Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians. The official averages, released today, show that the In dian fastball star carried off the bulk of twirling laurels, even though the past campaign saw. his club fall against De troit for the junior circuit pen nant. Feller was on top from the start. On opening day, a Chi cago, he blanked the White Sox without a hit, winning that game 1 to 0, for the first opening day no-hitter in baseball history. Ernie Bonham of New York ranked first technically, on the list in earned runs with only 1.91 per game, but pitched in only 12 contests. Feller had a 2.62 mark for 43 games, 27 of which he won, and therefore was recog nized as the actual earned run leader. Feller lost 11 contests. The leader in the won and lost column was Detroit's Archie Mc Kaln, with five wins and no loss es. Closely following Feller In ef fectiveness was Detroit's Buck Newsom. with a 2.83 earned run figure. He won 21 and lost only five., Feller and Newsom were the league's only 20 game winners. Strikes Out 262 For the third straight year Fel ler and Newsom were the strike out leaders. Feller, with his great fastball working beautifully, was well In front with 262 "whiffs." Newsom fanned 114. Feller ap peared in more games than any pitcher in the league, 48, and he also pitched the most innings, 320. In addition, Feller lost his crown as the league's top "wild man." Ken Chase of Washington granted the most passes, 143, as against Feller's 118 walks which gave him third place in this de partment bask of Vera Kennedy of St Louis, who passed 122 bats men. Feller also was one of three pitchers who tied in total shut outs with four each, the others being Chicago's Ted Lyons and Cleveland's Al Milnar. Cleveland took club pitching honors with an earned run figure of 3.83 per game.
