CANADA OUTDOORS Hunting Fatalities Fewer But No Province Was 'Safe By JOHN LeBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer Death stalked the huntsman through the Canadian woods gain in 1962, though year-end feures indicated the toll might be less than the previous year. A Cross-Country Survey by The Canadian Press showed 63 compiled deaths during the year, but final figures were ex- pected to be higher, There were 82 fatalities in 1961, and 94 the year before. For the first time in five years, hunters were killed in every province, : Ontario fatalities stood at 18 as the year drew to a close, & drop from 22 in 1961 and the SHOOTING TIPS...

(Where Pavement Ends) by appearing in long blue trou- sers, white shirts and straw hats. It was 24 years later, in 1875, that a player had the temerity to don a glove. He was Charlie Waite, a first baseman with the Boston club, champions of the National Association of Profes- sional Baseball Players. When Waite appeared with the thin deather glove on his left hand he took a lot of kidding and it) was not until 1880 that others followed suit, adapting it as protection for their hands. An accident to Arthur Irwin, shortstop of the Providence club in 1883 led to the present type of infielder's glove. Irwin broke a finger on his left hand. As few, if any spares, were carried * in those days, it was necessary for him to continue in action. To he able to do so, he bought - a buckskin driving glove, sey- eral sizes too large, and padded it to protect the bandage around the finger. John Montgomery ' Ward, great player of his day, quickly borrowed the idea and soon the Irwin glove was widely adopted. MADE FIRST MITT The first large, round, thick- padded catcher's mitt was worn by Joe Gunson, who caught for Kansas City Blues in the 1880s. The mitt now occupies an hon- ored spot in the National Base-/ ball Museum at Cooperstown, | Gunsen's glove became an overnight sensation, By the end of the 1888 season, every catcher wore some kind of a thickly padded glove. The mitt revolutionized the game The first factory - manufac- tured mitt, as we know it today, was worn by Buck Eweing, New York Giants' Hall of Fame catcher, in 1890 The catcher's mask was in- vented in 1875. The first protec- tion against facial d isfigure- ment was a rubber mouthpiece In 1875, Fred Thayer, Harvard captain, tired to persuade catcher Jim Tyng of the Crim-} sons to move up closer behind the plate. Tyng would have no! part of it until one day he got! a-hunch. He took a fencer's| mask to a tinsmith with the! idea of cutting large eye-holes) ia the close-meshed wires The} tinsmith suggested ripping out the mesh entirely and putting in a thicker, wide-spaced wit ing.
