I Sportsmen's ABC's In a land founded upon the pas-sionate desire for freedom, rules and regulations governing individ-ual actions are always looked upon askance, regardless of how nec-essary they may be for the gen-eral welfare. This is particularly true among a great many hunters and agnlers, according to Henry P. Davis, public relations manager, Remington Arms Company, Inc. "But," says Davis, "there Is much more to sportsmanship than the mere practice of obedience to the game laws. A man may never violate a game law or break a club rule and still not be a real sportsman, for he may be re-fraining from doing these things because he has to, not because he wants to. Real sportsmanship can-not be defined or bounded by rules. It Is imbedded in an inherent sense of fair play, which one may or may not possess. "There are certain maxims, how-ever, that are worthy of constant remembrance, lest you carelessly or thoughtlessly stray from proper field behavior. They are not rules, just reminders. As they run the gamut of the alphabet I call them ABC's for Sportsmen. They could just as well be called XYZ's, too. I think they're worth looking over. Here they are: Always practice .safe gunhandling. Be considerate of the landowner. You are his guest. Conduct yourself as a SPORTS-MAN should. Don't be a game-ho- Educate youth in the principles of sportsmanship. Favor the fellow who is hunting with you. Give wildlife a break. Work for its conservation. Have the location of your hunting partner always in mind. Influence others to hunt safely. Join a sportsman's organization. Keep that gun muzzle elevated. Leave some game for seed-stoc- Make sure of your target before you shoot. Never leave a cripple to go to waste. Obey the game laws to the letter. Put yourself in the other fellow's place. Treat him accordingly. Quit harping about game shortages and do something about it. Retrieve every piece of game you knock down. Share your game bag with the farmer. Take a boy, other than your own, hunting or fishing. Unite your fellow sportsmen" in a common effort to provide bet-ter hunting and fishing. Value, and protect, your privilege to own and bear firearms. Work for all sound game manage-ment measures. X may mark the spot if you mix gunpowder and alcohol. Young America's future field sport depends on You. Zeal in game restoration activities will pay big dividends. AAA Crow Hunting It is always a good policy to ask the farmer for permission to kill crows on his property. He will glad-ly consent. Ask him where the crows have been flying, and he will give you this valuable information. Protect his property while hunting, and thank him for the use of his woods when you bid him goodbye. This is most important. It builds up good relationships . between the farmer and the sportsmen; and finally, when the rabbit and squir-rel season is open and you want a place to hunt, stop in again and ask permission to hunt even if his land is posted; we are sure you will find a pleasant welcome. AAA Give Wildlife Break! The heaviest loss of wildlife on highways occurs in the spring. At this time of year, cover is at its lowest effectiveness. Last season's vegetation flattened by wind, snow and rain, no longer provides a satis-factory hiding place in much of the normal game area, and new vegeta-tion has not yet provided satisfac-tory cover. As a result many species of wildlife are forced to the dangerous ' protection of the shel-tered roadside ditches. Spring food supplies are low; weed seeds, in-sects, and waste grain are at a minimum in the fields. Consequent-ly the grain shifted onto the road in farm to market movements from tempting and often deadly invita-tion to game birds and other forms of wildlife. At this time the mating season is in full swing and results in wide traveling by some species and a to-tal loss of fear and caution in many others. AAA Trout Behavior Trout behave differently from bass at spawning time. Bass lay their eggs and guard the nest until the young ones hatch out and then look after the young for a considera-ble time. A bass will sometimes actually smash into a rowboat, and keep on smacking it until he is dizzy If it comes close to his nest In contrast, trout spill their eggs on the gravel, fertilize them, and then start eating them or as many oi them as they can reach. SPORTLIGHT-- , Lopat Sets New Earned-Ru- n Record By GRANTLAND RICE ine Assignment It Is all very well to have stood with the greats, To have gathered your garlands of fame. It is all very well to have the fates, To have reached for a head-liner- 's name. But when you are slipping as everyone does And the dirge has supplanted the sonnet; Remember how quickly a name gathers fuzz Don't try to get anything on It. New York The next essay should 3e turned in the general direction 5f one Edmund Lopat, a d pitcher with the Yankees. Ed Lopat Liopat won 18 and lost t lor ms best record to date. Unless some-one starts throwing hand grenades, 1951 should be by all odds his best year. Two Records to Match In checking Eddie Lopat' s amaz-ing 1951 record, plus the record of other stars, we pause at the marks set by one Grover Cleveland Alex-ander, plus another set of marks established by Walter Johnson. In 1915 Alexander's earned-ru- n mark was 1.22. It was 1.55 in 1916 and 1.83 in 1917. After the war Alex gave the game 1.72 in 1919 and 1.91 in 1920. Here were five years where Alexander allowed less than two earned runs a game, working over 400 Innings each year. He had been yanked away from his game for a year, join-ing the army in 1917, or he might easily have set a league-leadersh- ip mark for six con-secutive years. In 1912 the American League had no earned run average or Johnson might have set a new mark. That was one of his greatest seasons. But in 1913 he had an average of 1.14 tier same. 1.71 in 1914. 1.55 in L': won his first six games, but actually his record is better than that. In an era where any pitcher who per-mits less than 3 earned runs each season is a hero, Lopat permitted an earned-ru- n average of .60 in his first Grantland Rice five games an aU- - time record as far as we can ex-cavate into the past. Lopat is another rare character in a new form. He is one of the few living citizens who was born in New York City. This happy event, for the Yankees, took place in June, 1918, just 33 years ago. In spite of his brilliant start, life this year was not all milk and honey for Lo-pat. Eddie started as a first baseman with Greensburg in the Pennsylvania State League, then moved to Jeanerette, deep in the bush, in 1937. That was some 14 years ago. He worked with Jeanerette, K i 1 g o r e, Shreveport, Longview, Mar-shall, Salina, Oklahoma City, and Little Rock before he final-ly reached the White Sox in 1944. He won 11 and dropped 10 for the White Sox that year, a rare achievement any season while pitching for the White Sox. Starting the 1951 campaign Lopat has won 100 and lost 78 games for a winning average of .562. It is a much better average now with his 1951 start. Lefty Lopat. is now thinking of writing a book called "Life Begins at 33." In this three years with the Yankees, up to 1951, Lopat has won 50 games up through 1950 and lost only 29. He waited 13 pro sea-sons before getting the best start he has ever known. Last season 1915, 1.89 in 1916, 1.28 in 1918 and 1.55 in 1919. Here were eleven years of great pitching by two of the games best Alexander and Johnson, Old Pete and Big Barney. No one can expect Lopat to match marks of this type in the modern era when pitchers who allows less than three earned runs are regarded as hav-ing a touch of magic. Early Wynn of Cleveland led all A.L. pitchers last season with the chubby mark of 3.20, a long hop from Johnson's 1.14. The big slump in pitching skill or the arrival oi the rubber ball took place in 1921. Since then only Hal Newhouser, Carl Hubbell, Howie Pollet and Mort Cooper have operated under the d run count. Where the People Go NEW YORK, May It may, or 11 may not, interest you to know where your fellow human beings gc in searching for a favorite sport. Also just how the trend is today whether up or whether down. We might as well start with baseball the most harassed of sports by tele-vision's savage invasion. In 1949 major league baseball drew 20,215,365 people. The minors were healthy with television jus1 warming up. In 1950 major league baseball drew 17,462,977 fans, with the mi nors skidding badly.

Farm Production May Set e Record in 1951 American farmers can expect the demand for their farm products in ism to De stronger man in iaou. With normal weather conditions and favorable control of insects and dis-eases, the production of farm pro-due- ts should be greater than in 1950. Consequently, with greater prod-uction and a stronger demand for farm products, the gross farm in-come should be higher in 1951, the agriculture department reports. Farmers, however, will pay high-er prices for practically all import-ant items of production in 1951. Some of these items will probably be the highest on record. In this group will be such items as farm machinery and equipment, fuels for machinery, Uvestock purchases, building and fencing materials and wage rates. Prices which farmers will pay for such commodities as feed, seed and fertilizer probably will be higher than in 1950. I ""A;- - ' I ii ' ' A': A, X ; 'u ' ; ' J-- j j NO SALE ...
