Next year, we believe, there will oe some cnanges in b duck hunting regulations. The season will start later ul extend into January, if Oregon's Willamette Valley tuners have any voice in the matter. To be honest, we ant admit we had a lot of fun, despite the scarcity of licks. With our duck call and a pair of good dogs, we nJdom got "skunked". Some days we only killed one or .

And the man whose bat-and-glove career began in 1931 in Nebraska at the age of 17, and closed 22 years later in Salem, will "stir up the coals" right after the first of the new year. Luby's duties will intensify as spring training time nears and he must have a tentative roster to present, with his com pliments, to Harvey Storey Luby's successor as Senator manager. Lists Positions to Fill Specifically, Luby must find a first baseman, two pitchers, two outfielders and a shortstop. The first sacker would replace Gerald Ballard, the tall one owned by Sacramento; the shortstop would replace Gene Tanselli, a .295 hitter Salem hopes to sell to the Pacific Coast league; one of the pitch' crs would try to fill the shoes of Joe Nicholas, a 23-game winner; and the other hurler would replace Gene Roenspie, 19-game winner owned by Sacramento. Storey will play third base and Connie Perez will go back into the outfield where Luby hopes to have a lefthanded power-hitter to go with him. Plans are to sell Tanselli and Nicholas on a look-see basis to the PCL, "not just for the money but to give the up-and-coming players a chance to advance," Luby explained. "We like to deal with the Coast league and it's better than the eastern minor leagues to go to.

Luby's 22 years on the base paths carried him twice to the major leagues, nine years in the Coast league and five years as player-manager. Why this particular year did he decide to retire? he was asked. "Well, it was getting to be too much like work, and when baseball isn't fun any more, it's time to quit," Luby summed it up. His first trip to the majors was to play for Connie Mack's Philly Athletics in the fall of 1936 to finish the season at second base. Thrill In Polo Grounds It was his second trip to the majors which provided one oi his greatest thrills. The New Luby first played baseball la high school, playing with the Nebraska Legion champions of 1929. At 17 he reported to a tryout camp along with 12S other youths in 1931 at Nor folk and signed. He was re leased after a month and went to play semi-pro ball in Oma ha with his brother, Reginald, a shortstop. A brother, Arthur, also played amateur ball in Omaha and a brother Steve lat er played three years in the Yankee system. A clipping in a 1931 paper read: "Hugh Luby made hit debut at second base with the Gordons, got a triple and single and looked like vet eran. He handled 10 chances without a bobble." Norfolk recalled him the next spring to play second base and he helped his club win both halves of the season. Luby returned to Norfolk in 1933, then was promoted to the Class A Western league with Sioux City for the 1934, 1935 and 1938 seasons. It was at Sioux City that he met baseball fan whom he married in 1935 the present Mrs, Luby. Led Southern Association Atlanta's Crackers of the Class AA Southern associa tion claimed his services In 1937 after his stint with the Athletics and at Atlanta Luby had his beat year, lead ing the league In hits, 208, and batting .320. With him on the third place clnb were Paul Richards, player-manager who now manages the White Sox; Dutch Loonsrd and Luman Harris, later a White Sox coach. Recalled by the Athletics, ha was sent to Oakland in 1937 along with Jesa Hill, an out fielder with the Athletics who is now University of Southern California head football coach. It marked the beginning of a popular reign at sec ond base, lasting through U.. season of 1943 and during which ha played 862 consec utive games from 1939-1943 to set a record that still stands. In those days of few if any utility players, Luby came nearest to being out ot the lineup when he had a bad foot, which the trainer taped up thoroughly.
