PORTLAND. Aug. 13. (JFi The
stato game commission sustained to
day Its provlous action opening tho
mule deer reserve In Lake and Klam
ath counties for hunting during the
season of Sept. 20-Oct. 25.
The commission's stand was review
ed upon a vote to reconsider after a
petition carrying several hundred sig
nature's was received from Klamath
Falls.
On the recommendation of two
game experts, Stanley O. Jcwett of
the U. S. biological survey, nd Ar
thur Einarson of Oregon State col
lege, the commission decided to go
ahead with its original plan. Jewett
and Einarson said that hunting In
the preserve would scatter the bands
of deer and relieve concentration on
winter feeding grounds in the lava
beds of northern California.
Fear was expressed that unless
something was done to relieve the
concentration there might be a rep
etition of the crisis confronting thn
commission In the Murderer's creek
area of Orant county, where thou
sands of deer face starvation for lack
of winter feed.
The commission said the action
was effective only for this year and
that If the condition did not recur
It would close the preserve in sub
sequent years.
PORTLAND, Aug. 13.-(AP)-De
hunters who shoot every time the
brush wiggles may be eliminated
from Oregon forests If the game
commission's contemplated bill t
poesed by the legislature.
The proposed law would perma
nently revoke the license of any
, n,.nrf a,iitv of manslaughter
or of wounding a fellow hunter by
careless use of firearms.

FAVORITE TO WIN
HIS THIRD TITLE
NEW YORK, Aug. 19. (ff) Aided
by a week's postponement, Henrj
Armstrong meets Lou Ambers In Man
ison Square Garden Wednesday night
with a good chance of belting Lou
out fr:m under his lightweight
crown and adding the title to his
featherweight and welterweight lau
rels. When the negro and the champion
appeared at the Polo grounds lut
Wednesday night It was a more or
less open secret that hammerln'
Henry was far below his normal
fcrm. At the same time Ambers bad
worked himself Into what Manager
Al Weill declared was the "absolute
ly finest" shape of his career. .
The rain poured down and forwd
postponement and an Inside arena
for the bout. It also swung the odds
back heavily to Armstrong's favor
and on Broadway today you could get
3 to 1 on Ambers.
For the best minds of the cauli
flower Industry Lou will hare a hard
time keeping at the physical and
mentol peak .he had reached last
week. Armstrong on the other hand
admitted he needed a little more
work. He will get It and then some.
Moving the fight Indoors should
help Promoter Mike Jacobs. Only a
few thousand were In tho Poh
grounds when the rains came. Hs
speaks optimistically of hitting 100,.
