'New York, April 12 HP) At the
risk of incurring the displeasure
of Ford Frick and William Har
ridge, who don't like to hear
the word gambling in connection
with baseball, the crystal ball
came up today with:
Another all-St. Louis world ser
ies in 1945.
The betting lines will form to
the left and if they run very long
the presirints of the national and
American league aren't going to
like it a bit. But we thoueht it
the"'' Anglesrwas only fair to give the people
who want to get down a little
green an ' Inside track on what
teams not' to bet on.
Maybe our perfect record is in
jeopardy, but we see the red
birds winning their fourth strai
ght national league pennant and
the Browns their second consecu
tive American league flag. To
keep that ' record perfect, they
will have to lose for our last

and navy over army in football,
and you know what happened!
So if you want to wind up be
hind a ball other than crystal
here is the way not to bet 'em:
The national St. Louis, Pitts
burgh, Chicago," New York, Cin
cinnati, Boston, Brooklyn and
Philadelphia. Looks- pretty much
like the 1944 finish except for
New York and Cincinnati switch
ing places.
The American St. Louis, New
York, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago,
Boston, Washington,' and with
apologies to.. Connie Mack, Philadelphia.-
' . :.; '-'
Why?
The Cards have the closest
thing to a pre-war ball club, even
if the draft should gobble up
Walker Cooper, Johnny Hopp and
Max Lanier. It still would leave
such performers left as Mort
Cooper, Martin Marion, Ray Sand
ers, and George (Whitey) Kurow-
ski. Knough said. -
For the other national league
clubs the Pirates may run short
on pitching and hitting; the Cutis
could do it if the hurling holds up
and their leading slugger, Bill
Nicholson, who is in 1-A, isn't
called up; the Giants lack speed
with such men as Ernie Lombanli
and Phil Weintraub and may be
short on pitching, too; Cincinnati
has Bucky Walters, who can't do
it alone; the Braves have pitching,
little else; Brooklyn has Branch
Rickey and that Branch won't be
come a tree; and Philadelphia has
hopes and only a couple of ball
players.
The Browns have everything
they had last year except Denny
Galehouse, who was their Chips
down guy in their drive to the
pennant. But they still look good
enough. The Yankees, if they
keep Johnny Lindell and if they
should get Jeff heath from the
Indians, could do it; the Tigers
have Hal Newhouser and Dizzv
Trout and that's a pitching staff!
alone but will miss Dick Wake
field; the Indians are. short of
infielders; it's still the "hitless
wonders" with the White Sox;
haven't much of anything and
easily could slip in the cellar;
Washington has pitching and
somewhat less than "40 thieves"
(George Case and George Myatt
being their chief base stealers);
and Philadelphia has Connie
Mack. Unfortunately, Connie is
past 80 and his dugout score card
wagging doesn't promise to be
enough.
So don't say we didn't warn you.

Portland. Ore.. Am-il 12 ttl'i
Minions or interstate travellers
are crossing borders without any
regulation by the Interstate com
merce commission.
They're the migratory birds, es
pecially ducks and geese whicli
provide such hunting opportuni
ties for the northwestern nimrod.
Unfortunately, there is a lack
of interstate cooperation in this
matter winch is sorely needed, ac
cording to the state and national
game experts. These men claim
that postwar hunting is going to
find hunters firing more ammuni
tion and getting less birds if the
condition is not alleviated.
Situation Presented
The situation is this:
There are enough bird refuges
now to take care of existing
flocks; there will be more land
bought for this purpose both dur
ing the war and shortly after its
conclusion. But there are too many
selfish hunters.
The birds come into one stale
and hunters, with a large limit
guaranteed, bang away for days
at a time, getting large bags.
Their idea is to shoot as many of
them as possible, because soon
the migrators will have moved
into a neighboring state, and there
they will be shot away. Tnere-
fore, the nimrod reasqns, why not
got the birds before . they get
awav.
Or, "If I don't, somebody else
will."
Set Bv State
Wildlife experts explain that
such is not the case. Bag limits
are set by the state, although the
federal government may lengthen
the season or increase the bag
limit allowed per day. HoweVer,
states have been too lenient and
the federal government is reluc
tant to take steps for fear that
legal action may be impending.
The states, on the other hand,
don't like to put check reins on the
hunters.
There are three possible solu
tlnns:
1. Get the states to put a tighter
limit nn seasons or batr limits.
2. Raise the price on federal
duck stamps.
3. Purchase, more refuges so
that propagation may be speeded
and shelter areas spacea a snorter
distance aoart.
All three are being seriously
considered. All three hit pretty
hard at the hunter. or at the
ducks. '
