S. fish and wildlife migratory bird lawa for 1947. but Jim Savage, who is the game management agent here is not giving out any information ai to the number of birds considered to be here at present. , His figures will be sent to the services regional office In Portland, then on to Chicago for final compilation, and It -may be several months before the fish and wildlife service begins to make an estimate of the duck population after the 1946 shoot ing season Savase's area of count coV' ers eight counties In northern California and seven in souw ern Oregon, and he has been aided by state police, game war dens and private individuals. They don't mak. an actual bird-for-bird count it would have been impossible to ac tually count the ducks on Link river last we.k but gath.r an .stimat. as to how many birds ar wh.r. dur ing th. two-week period, Sav ag said. The count is going on all over the United States at the same time, so when all we tig' ii res are gotten together back in Chicago the fish and wild' life service can come up with a total that in a fairly correct way tells how many ducks and geese there were arouna aur ing the weeks of January. Last year the service set its estimate at 80 million birds. In 1944 the estimate was 125 mil lion. The difference showed up in the shorter hunting season and bag limits. The counters also divide their estimates into species honkers, cacklers, manaras. etc. These local bird counts in themselves don't mean a thing a far as numbers are con cerned, Savage explains, but when they're all gotten together they make a picture of the mi gratory bird population. But th. population is Just on. determining factor In th. bird laws that com. out in th. fall. To check on th. ' yearly crop of n.w birds, th. fish and wildlif. scrvic. hold's a spring count in th. Canadi an pothol. breeding grounds and that bwomn another fac tor. W.ather is another, num ber of hunter is another. . The count here is over ex cept for Savage's job of getting his figures from such spots as Tulelake, Coos Bay and Eu reka together and transmitting the data to the Portland office. The Portland headquarters cov ers six states for the fish, and wildlife service. Team Match Paces Card It'll be the meanies against the cleanies again tonight in the armory squared-circle when two opposing teams square off in the main event tag match. . Buck Lipscomb and Tony Ross will be in one corner, Billy Weidner and Billy Fox in the other, and with .that lineup the railbirds should see a fast, action-packed display of fireworks. Fox and Weidner, particularly Weidner, hold the most recent win in a match of this type, over Lipscomb ' and Sammie Cohen last week, but Tony Ross is an old hand at the business and will be reckoned for before the night is over. The tag match is not time limited, and will go until one team accomplishes two out of three falls. . In the opener, starting at ap proximately 8:30, little Billy Goelz will tangle with Bulldog Jackson over the six -round route.

Bl.ha Phon. 8215 Landing Plane On Sandbar Ducks Drift In Is Laiy Man's By HILMON PINEGAR MEMPHIS. Jan. 23 (NEA) No getting up before day break and shivering in the blinds until sun-up when Joe Bowen goes duck hunting. Instead of getting planted and waiting for the ducks to come to him, Bowen finds the ducks and goes to them. A beautiful feature of Bow en's system Is that he seldom has to walk more than a few hundred feet, rarely ever gets his feet muddy. "You can wear the clothes you've got on with out getting messed up," he promised. Before I could say no, Bowen had donned his hunting cap. slung some decoys over his shoulder, picked up his trusty .410 shotgun, headed for his shiny two-place plane o n t h e flight line of the West Memphis, Ark. airport he operates. Th. .ngin. was warmed up bri.tly. and w. w.r. off winging our way up th. Mis sissippi riv.r. A i.w mil abov Memphis, w. saw thousands ot ducks swimming and waddling around on sandbars. A little farther up, Bowen pointed out a smooth strip of sand, and said: 'That's where we're going in." U. - tUa 114.1a nlsn. rlrturn put on the parking breaks, tied the ship down, began unloading his paraphernalia. I he ducKs leery of such goings on. swarm ed into the air and sailed away I thought our expedition would be a f loo because of this. ' Don t worry, he said, as he set about building a blind of driftwood and grass. "There will be more along in a few minutes. Ducks are moving down the river. It may sound funny but when a bunch of them leave a place a new bunch will nearly always come in." Blind completed, decoys out, we got under cover. In a matter of minutes we spotted a lone mallard hen com ing down the river rapidly. When she saw the decoys and began circling to look the place over, Joe began quacking the old drake's "Whatcha doln' to nite. Babe?" on his duck-caller. The hen plopped right in among the decoys. Before she discovered that she had been duped, Joe stuck his head through the front of the blind. and shouted "Shoo!" As the hen took to the air un der full emergency horsepower, Joe let go with a volley. The duck shivered f o r an instant, spun in. Don t even have to wade out to- get the duck," said Bowen. It will drift to the bank with the wind. This is not as easy as it seems, however, for sandbars are tricky and dangerous. No one but an experienced pilot should try to land on a bar, and then only after he has carefully checked the firmness of the ground. I came up here by boat and walked over every foot of this bar before I tried to land on it. "While taxiing into position for a takeoff the other day, the plane rolled into a soft spot, mired up over the wheels. If that had happened to someone while coming in for a landing, the plane would have flopped over on its back, and someone might have got hurt." But Joe Bowen certainly has the lazy man's way of hunting ducks. Papa Greenberg NEW YORK, Jan. 23 (IP) Hank Greenberg, the 1946 home run king, can now make plans for a conference with his new employers, the Pittsburgh Pi rates. His wife, the former Caral Gimbel, presented him with an eight and one-quarter pound boy last night at Harkness Pavilion.

Sportsmen Urge Game Law Remain Under State Police SALEM, Jan. 23 (JP) The Oregon Wildlife Federation and the Oregon division of the Izaak Walton league issued a joint Sports Edge Past Wools Hal's Sports squeezed past the Oregon Woolen team 44 to 42 in a Basin league basketball game played last night on Alta mont court. It was a well played, close tilt in which Andy Anderson counted 22 points for the Woolens. ' Bob Perkins scored 12 points for Hal s. In the second game at Alta mont Rickya topped the Four Star Merchants 59 to 43. but for the Merchants Mac McGoughey ran up 24 points and Tedwilleger had a dozen. Paul McCall scored 18 times for Rickys and Wayne Scott 17. Out in the county the Mer rill teams split a doubleheader. Henley beat the Townies 41-39, and the Independents got by the Langell Valley Beavers 43-33. But over at Chiloquin the pace was terrific. Chiloquin rooters were sorely disappointed when their boys failed to hook up a basket in the final minute of play but won the game 98 to 42 from Beatty. Hatcher scored a phenomenal 39 points, Tokyo War Crimes Trial Goes On TOKYO, Jan. 23 (IP) Former Premier Tojo and his 25 co-defendants won an important point in their war crimes trial today. The international tribunal ruled that statements they made to in vestigators since their arrest would be considered as evidence against only the individual who made the statement. The ruling sustained a month old defense motion. Carlisle W. Higgins, assistant chief prosecutor, agreed with the decision, which is in accordance with U. S. court practice. It . was pointed out that the ruling will not preclude any de fendant from testifying volun tarily in court against other de fendants. Do FALSE TEETH Rock, Slid or Slip?

And Letting Hunting m report today recommending that enforcement of the stat game laws remain a state p& lice responsibility. The organizations said they found that Oregon's game law enforcement ranks well with other states, with 95 per cent of all game violators being con victed. Other recommendations in clude: The structure of the state po lice should be arranged that game law enforcement officers can be promoted on an equal basis with other state police men. Game law enforcement offi cers should devote their full time to game law enforcement, except in cases of emergency. State police salaries should b increased. There should be more cooper ation between the state police department and the state game commission. The game fund should be re lieved of having to contribute any money to the state general fund, and that increased funds be made available for propaga tion, development, research and management of wildlife re sources. Hostak Loses Comeback Try HOUSTON, Tex.,' Jan. 23 (IP) Al Hostak, two-time middle weight boxing champion of the world, found his comeback string cut in the middle today. Th. 150-pound Seattle slugger caught a right cross flush on the chin last night and dropped a four-round knockout verdict to Stove Belloise, New York mid dleweight. Hostak floored the No. 7 con tender for division laurels for a nine-count in the first round but a steady diet of left hooks dished up by Belloise set him up for the knockout punch..
