THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE proteome WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1950 PAGE TWELVE FOR OUTDOOR Conservation Corner SPORTSMEM PROSPECTS GOOD FOR BIRDS . Toronto Ontario sportsmen may enjoy the best all-round bird and small game shooting in years this fall, if predictions of officials of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests are carried out. Partridge are approaching the top of their cycle according to Dr. W. J. K. Harkness, Chief of the Fish and Wildlife Division. Over ten-year periods, partridge for some unknown reason reach a peak of plenty, and then decline almost to the vanishing point. Hunting isn't responsible for this -- rather it is nature's own way of regulating the birds. . From Eastern Ontario come re- ports that Hungarian partridge are plentiful and already complaints are being received from farmers who declare jack rabbits are girdling their trees. Similar complaints are common each year, although usually the rabbits do their worst later in the. fall and winter months and August is regarded as .very early for' them. ' A four-day shoot at Pelee Island is indicative of the general phea- sant situation. Usually the shoot is limited to two days, but this year pheasants are so plentiful that the township, which regulates the hunt with Department co-operation, has decided on two periods of two days: each. Redhead ducks are reported on Hay Bay in the Bay of Quinte, the first time the birds have ever been observed nesting at that Eastern Ontario point, Dr. Harkness said. Ringnecked pheasants have also been reported as nesting on the Conboy marsh in North Hastings. While it is too early to be too definite, there is every indication that Ontario sportsmen will enjoy their best all-round shooting in many years. NO PIKE IN DUFFIN'S CREEK Pickering -- Fears of local ang- lers that pike had invaded Duffin's Creek here were set at rest by Bio- ogists of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests who identi- fled specimens sent to them by Pickering residents as darters, a type of minnow regarded as harm- less to other fish. Duffin's Creek, although but 20 miles from Toronto, definitely con- tains speckled and rainbow trout and in recent years the Department has also stocked it with Atlantic Salmon, hoping to bring the fish back to Lake Ontario after a 100 absence. Recently, following heavy flood- ing, residents found scores of tiny, slim-bodied fish left stranded on their lawns. Fearing the fish were young pike which might attack the game fish, the residents forwarded their specimens to the Department for identification. "Darters," reported Dr. W. J. K. Harkness, Chief of the Division. "The distinctive markings on the tail -- a dark stripe! = 'make the identification fairly simple." TRAIN 500 NEW MEN Toronto -- A total of 505 men, from private industry and other government departments, have re- ceived instruction in forest fire fighting methods under the Prov- ince-wide training scheme being carried out this year by the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests, it was learned today. Started this spring and currently being extended, the training plan was set up in each "fire" district for the purpose of giving men from private industry an opportunity of learning how to carry out fire sup- pression work and to create a pool of men capable of assisting the De- partment's own rangers or, should the need arise, of taking charge of a fire fighting crew themselves. The plan took various forms but in the main resolved into a prac- tical field demonstration in the specialized techniques of fire fight- ing,, the use of equipment and the supervising of fire crews. Those who took part included representatives from private logging operations, railways, organized municipalities, Hydro Electric Pow- er Commission, commercial tourist resorts and the Ontario Depart- ment of Highways. Districts where the training clas- ses have been held to date are: Kenora, Sioux Lookout, Fort Fran- ces, Port Arthur, White River, Ger- aldton, Kapuskasing, Cochrane, Sault Ste. Marie, Chapleau, Temis- Kaming, North Bay, Sudbury, Al- gonquin, Parry Sound, Trent and Quinte, . RESTRICT AREAS ~ Toronto -- Although several areas of James Bay have been closed to migratory game bird hunters under federal regulation, the restrictions do not affect areas customarily used by Ontario hunters, according to Dr. W. J. K. Harkness, Chief of the Fish and Wildlife Division, De- partment of Lands and Forests. Hunters are forbidden to shoot within five miles of the shore of James Bay between the north end of the .Ontario-Quebec inter-pro- vincial boundary and the east bank of the eastern mouth of the Harri- canaw River and between the north bank of the northern mouth of the Albany River and Cape Henrietta Maria, the federal regulations de- James Bay, regarded as one of the finest goose shooting areas in Canada, has still plenty of country left for hunting. The closed sections are outside the limits usva"y v ed by Ontario and visiting hunters and there are still plenty of birus in the open areas. PI*PARING DATA South Bay Mouth, Manitoulin Island -- It's far too early to tell the complete story yet, but scien- tists of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests are compiling ~ data collected during one of the greatest fisheries experiments ever undertaken in the Province. In 1946, the South Bay Com- mittee was set up to establish the ° relationship between commercial fishing and angling in a lake; to de- termine whether, with thorouzh fishing of all kinds of fii: th~» is more apt to be a good supply of the more desirable kinds. iv was intended to try all types of gear in order to reveal which are the most efficient methods for the ex- isting conditions, and to discover the cause or causes of low local stock of lake trout, Members of the committee in- clude representatives of the Com- mercial Fishermen's Association, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and Northern Ontario Out- tters Association. In a preliminary report, Dr. F. E. J. Fry informed the Department that extensive marking experiments are being carried on with the popu- lations of bass, lake trout and whitefish. "The results of these to date would seem to indicate: 1--That the bass population is confined to South Bay but makes extensive migrations within it in the spring and fall. 2--Lake trout in all probability leave South Bay, possibly for the entire winter, but a large number of them remain in the upper basin of Couth Bay in the summer. A large section of the whitefish population on the other hand ap- pears to leave South Bay for the summer and makes an extensive migration into the waters of Lake Huron and rgian Bay. Recap- tures of whitefish have been re- ported from points as far distant as Killarney, approximaely 50 miles from the entrance to South Bay," he reported. The smelt run in 19490 was only one-quarter of 1948 in that area, he said. "This reduction was prob- ably due more to a great decrease in the spring runoff rather than to a substantial reduction in the smelt population. The runs in the per- manent streams were essentially equal to those in the previous year," he declared. NO MOOSE SEASON HERE Toronto -- There will be no open season on. moose in Ontario in 1950, The Department of Lands and For- ests announced today. With the number of moose over the moose country of the north averaging less than one for ten square miles, it is pointed out by officers of the Department that an open season would concentrate hunters on those limited areas where the moose are abundant. Consideration will be given to an open season for moose hunting only when the results of the field studies indicate suitably large contiguous areas carrying substantial numbers of moose, which can support a hunt without danger of serious de- pletion. indsay -- While inspecting a bea- ver dam in his territory a con- servation officer of this district was attracted by a threshing sound among the cattails below the dam. Investigation showed that the was caused by a sucker which was endeavoring to escape from a water snake, The snake had a firm hold on the snout of the fish and finally suc- ceeded In dragging it up on the shore where it was swallowed after the struggles of the fish ceased. The swallowing process took: about five minytes. The snake, after being killed, was examined by the District Biologist, and it was found that the sucker measured over eight inches. '* 4 @p MOVING BASS Lindsay -- 'Small-mouth bass in over populated lakes of Trent Dist- rict are being transferred to larger water areas where more suitable food and cover conditions are available. The general public have been asking that bass be planted in cer- tain waters of the Trent District and it is believed that the bass now being transferred will soon con- tribute directly to their angling re- quirements. +* + NEVER SATISFIED Tweed -- Beaver in Quinte Dist- rict must find man hard to under- stand. Last year, for instance, farm- ers were very happy about having beaver dams on their property be- cause, during the drought which prevailed, the beaver dams helped to keep wells from running dry and the water stored behind the dams provided watering places for cattle, This year, however, it is a dif- ferent story as the excessive rains and beaver dams are combining to flood land and roads. The popu- larity of the beaver has tempor- arily waned. : * + # LAW IN PAMPHLET FORM Toronto -- The Ontario Depart- ment of Lands and Forests carries out its administrative duties under the authority of twenty-nine Acts of the Ontario Legislature. These Acts have now been published in loose-leaf Lefax form size 3% by 6% inches and are contained in a suitable leather binder. The statutes are amended to 1950 and will be supplied with the binder at cost to members of the legal profession or others who may have a use for them. Amendments to the various Acts will be provided for a period of five years. Yankee Golfers Take Curtis Cup Buffalo, N.Y, Sept. 8 -- (AP) -- Unithd States women golfers still are superior to their British cousins because they hit the ball farther. Power was the deciding factor as the Americans clinched the Curtis Cup by turning back Britain's best, 7% to 1%, in the two-day interna- tional competition which ended yesterday. The British girls are as accurate as American girls but they use the old-fashioned straight left arm. They usually found tuemselves short of American lassies, employ- ing the powerful whiplash lck. The invaders sometimes were left 50 yards in arrears off the tees It was the fifth U.S. victory in six matches since the series siari- ed in 1932. The best Britain has been able to manage was a tie in 11936. There we" 5 matches be- tween 1938 and 1047. Tab Jerseyites As Dark Horse In Inter. Loop By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS International League observers are tabbing Manager Joe Becker's Jersey City Giants as the dark- horse team in the loop's playoffs. Despite player raids by the par- end New York Giants, the Little Glants have been tough all season, and currently are playing the best ball in the circuit. The Giants posted their sixth straight victory last night as Lefty Roger Bowman turned back Spring- field Cubs 8-2 on three hits for his 16th victory. The Giants pounded out 13 hits, including a home run by Du Mele, By eT the fourth-place Giants crept to within one game of the third-place Baltimore Ori- oles, who divided a doubleheader with Syracuse Chiefs. The Chiefs grabbed the nightcap 4-3. Montreal's second-place Royals handed the pennant-winning Ro- chester Red Wings their third straight setback, 10-3. Toronto Maple Leafs and Buffalo Bisons split a doubleheader. The Bisons won the opener 4-3 in 10 innings but the Leafs took the nightcap 3-1. GRID Oo S P Toronto, Sept. 8 -- (CP) -- The individual scoring statistics com- piled by The Canadian Press have an unfamiliar look at this early stage of the football season. Four newcomers to Canadian football -- imports from the United States -- head the Big Four, in which each team has played two games. And in the Ontario Rugby Football Union, where only one game has been played, the leader comes from the intercollegiate loop. Head man in the Big Four is Edgar (Special Delivery Jones of Hamilton Tiger-Cats who played last season with the professional Cleveland Browns, Another Hamilton player -- Bill Gregus of Wake Forest College, N.Y.--is in a second-place tie with Ulysses Curtis of Toronto Argo- nauts. Nick Scollard of the Alou- ettes ranks fourth with nine points.

GBL 47 48 638 628 51 611 3%] Cleveland 53 .602 4! | Yankee Manager Casey Stengel has nominated lefty Ed Lopat (15-7) to face the sizzling Red Sox who have won 18 of their last 21 games with a power-packed line-up boasting a club batting mark of better than .300. The move is a daring one, as Fen- way Park is regarded as a grave- yard for lefthand pitchers. Only three visiting lefthanders have pitched a complete game there this year and only one, Hal Newhouser of Detroit, came through with a victory. Lopat, however, has mastered the Red Sox four times this year In five decisions and one of the tri- umphs came in Boston where the left-field wall is entirely too cozy with third base. Red Sox skipper Steve O'Neill has named Lefty Mel Parnell (14-8) to spike the Yankee guns. Parnell, who won 25 games last year, is back in form after a poor start, having won six straight games and nine out of his last 10. At Detroit, Early Wynn (16-6), enjoying his best season, has been named to pitch for . Cleveland against Lefty Hal Newhouser (12- New York ). Both of these series are two-game affairs. The Yanks and Red Sox were, idle yesterday but the. Indians and Finishing "In The Groove" By ALEX. J. MORRISON Central Press Canadian Golf Columnist Walter Hagen once said, "I'm one player who always knows what he has done during the swing and in hitting the ball." The great Walter was striving to show something like his oldtime form in a tournament at Long Island about 1940. I followed him to get action pictures of his swing. His observation was something any golfer would like to make. To most players attempts to hit the ball are just tunnels of darkness which leave them no accurate line on what happened in either mind or body. : A check on this is had in com- paring the path of the club with the proper plane of the swing. Most players move the club in and out of this plane with little or no chance of remaining in it even for a short stretch during their efforts to hit the ball, They don't seem to realize that their efforts to push or steer the club definitely elimin- ate all chance of keeping the club moving in a plane, that nothing other than swinging the club can get it to travel in the right path. The whole proposition is the same as swinging a weight attached to the end of a cord. Among the things that help you to swing the club in the proper plane is attention to the position in which you finish. This should find the shaft of the club in the plane as shown in the accompanying illustration. I might warn you about follow- ing a practice that is quite popu- lar these days, namely, trying 'to finish with the arms and hands held quite high. This pushes both arms and club out of the groove in the downswing as well as in the follow through. A simple way of telling how close to the plane you are with arms and The finish, as well as all other stages of the swing, should be in the proper plane or groove. Re- membering this helps to improve earlier stages such as back and down swings. --Central Press Canadian dP PB your left 'arm in relation to your right shoulder in the backswing, then the position of your right arm Tigers tuned up for their approach- ing tests with victories. | tonight.
