Shorter Duck
Season Prospect
WASHINGTON, June 6 (IP)
Duck hunters this year face a
shorter shooting season, a re
duced bag limit, or both.
This will be necessary, Di
rector Albert M. Day of the fish
and wildlife service said today,
"to halt and reverse the alarm
ing decline in the wild duck
population."
In the past two years, Day
said, there has been an average
decline of about 23,000,000 birds
a year.
The continental population of
migratory waterfowl began to
decline in 1945 when the annual
inventory of the service indi
cated 105,500,000 birds, com
pared with the peak of 125,350,
000 in 1944. The downward
trend continued in 1946 with
wild ducks and geese dropping
to 80,000,000. Meanwhile the
number of licensed duck hunters
skyrocketed to 1,696,368.

Link River
Yields Big'n
If you are one of those just
plain unlucky fishermen who
crawl through brambles and
wooded tangles, over mountains
and through valleys remote to
civilization in order to reach a
good fishing spot, then don't
catch anything, take heart and
trv Link river for a change.
Although the merits and qual
ity of fish caught there are
constantly under discussion, D.
L. "Bill" Vinson, 2325 Cali
fornia, is proud of a H pound
salmon trout hooked there.
Fishing in the swift water
just below the dam on Link
river, Vinson, 65 and an ardent
fisherman, cast his line out not
10 minutes before the big fish
took it. "He took the reel right
out of my hands five or six
times," declared Vinson. He
used a small hook, about a
number 2, one ounce of weight
on his line, and had a live min
now as bait.
The fish was hooked about
4:30 Monday afternoon and Vin
son, fishing the spot alone, land
ed it after a 25-minute battle.
The fish weighed 9 pounds
four hours after it was caught.

Bucs Hear
Quit Call
PITTSBURGH, June 6 (fl't
Major league baseball faces the
threat of the first union strike
in its long history here tomor
row night in a scheduled game
between the Pittsburgh Pirates
and the New York Giants.
Robert Murphy, ruddy-faced
labor relations director of the
American Baseball Guild, an
nounced last night the Pitts
burgh Pirates had voted unani
mously not to take the field
against the Giants unless Bucs
officials meet their demands for
an immediate collective bar
gaining election.
William E. Benswanger, pres
ident of the club, discussed the
case with his attorneys this
morning and told Murphy he
expected to give him a decision
later today.
Averted Last Night
Only a dramatic eleventh
hour session in the Pirates club
house kept the strike from com
ing off before last night's game
with Brooklyn, which the Dod
gers won, 5-3.
The rapid-fire developments
followed a breakdown of a con
ference earlier in the day at
Benswanger's office, during
which the Pirate management
suggested the guilt issue be de
ferred until the baseball season
is over.
First word of the strike threat
came shortly after 6 o'clock
when Murphy met with the
pjayers and telephoned Pirate
officials. The players had voted
to stay in the dressing room
until Benswanger came to talk
to them. If Benswanger didn't
show up within an hour. Mur
phy said he "wouldn't be re
sponsible if the game did not
go on." He said the players
were ready to vote in that
event.
Trip To Clubhouso
But Benswanger heeded the
ultimatum and made his first
trip to the Pirate clubhouse in
12 years, while thousands of
fans poured into Forbes field
unaware of the drama that was
being enacted.
Benswanger let Seward H.
French Jr., his chief counsel,
do most of the talking. But he
did tell the players he thought
he always had been fair with
them and would leave any de
cision up to them.
Women's Golf

Lamm tourney for women of

Relief Hurler
Keeping Cubs
In Flag Chase
Br The Associated Press
Emll Kush, a local boy from Chicago's North Side, who
waited nine long years to make a boyhood dream come true,
was rivaling the Boston Red Sox' Earl Johnson as tha number
one relief pitcher in the major leagues today.
Not since Jack Russell, whose yeomnn relief work helped
the Chicago Cubs win the 1038 National league pennant, have
the Bruins boasted such a brilliant rescue artist as this 29-yeur-old
righthander.
Kush gained his fourth victory without defeat yesterday
all of them in relief roles as the Cubs shaded the New York
Giants 6 5 to move Into third place In the National league pen
nant race. The native Chicagoan entered the game In the seventh
inning after the Giants had pummelled Johnny Schmitz and two
successors for a dozen hits and
all their runs, and held the New
Yorkers hitless the rest of the
way.
With Peanuts Lowrey again
starting the fireworks as he did
In Tuesday's victory over the'
Giants, th Cubs overcame a 5-1
deficit with four runs in the
sixth and won the game In the
ninth when First Baseman Ed
Waitkus walloped a two-out
single with the bases loaded.
No Ground Gained
The Cubs, however, could
gain no ground on the pace-setting
Brooklyn Dodgers and sec
ond place St. Louis Cardinals
who won their games to retain
their respective six and half
and three game margins over
the Bruins.
With few of the 26.026 Forbes
field fans knowing that only an
hour before the arc-light con
test was scheduled to start, the
Pirate players had threatened
to strike over a demand for
union recognition, the Brooks
downed the Bucs 5-3.
Buster Pinch Hits
Pinch Hitter Elvln (Buster)
Adams singled with the bases
loaded in the ninth to give the
Cards a 2-1 edge over the Bos

contest.

six and a half games when they
waltzed to a 9-6 decision over
the Chicago White Sox before
57.283 paid fans at the third
night game in Yankee stadium
history.
A total of 35 players saw ac
tion as the Sox waged an 8-8 tie I

game lasted three hours and 29
minutes and went 12 innings

Hunt Big Game
The wilds of eastern British

athiles in search of big game.
Dr. R. W. Steams and Victor
O'Neill left last week on a
hunting trip which will take
them deep into the heart of the
Canadian Rockies. They hope to
snnre some grizzly bears.
This marks Dr. Steams' fourth
trip. The men entered Canada
at King's Gate and have es
tablished camp at Wardner,
British Columbia. They will
pack In by horseback from
there.
Each time Dr. Stearns has
had a definite hunting objec
tive. On his first trip, Into the
rugged Frazier river country,
he went for caribou and moose.
In later trips he has been in
quest of mountain sheep and
goats as well as caribou and
moose.
In this region Is found some
of the roughest terrain the con
tinent hns to offer. The griz
zlies Inhabit the precipitous
slopes and cliffs of the moun
tains. As a side line Stearns and
O'Neill plan to Indulge In some
fishing.
