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

Gentleman Jesse James main

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.
