1 f. 1 8 THE COURIERJOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, KY. SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1965 Big Wind Strikes In Midst Of Migration Season Spoonbills, Herons, Flamingos Threatened By Hurricanes ducks, geese, and gulls are reported in great abundance in places where they do not ordinarily occur. And such birds as petrels and gannets show up inland as far west as Ohio and Michigan. Bird-watchers should be alert.

This last big hurricane might bring in a new record for their life lists. WALLEYES COMING Ever since the famous walleye runs up the Yamaeraw slackened, not much has been written or spoken about this fine game fish. Up until 1957, walleyes were propagated from eggs obtained from the state of Ohio, flown to Kentucky, hatched and released in streams and impoundments. When a scarcity developed and the source of supply cut off, the project was discontinuad. Now a new source of supply has been located by the Kentucky Division of Fisheries at Constantia, N.Y., where 35 quarts of eggs will be secured.

In the spring of 1966, walleyes will again be stocked in waters most favorable for their survival. low level of 146. And the herons have taken several beatings by hurricanes since tnen, barely recovering each time. The hurricane of Dec. 1, 1925, killed practically all of the young brown pelicans in several colonies and after the hurricane in the fall of 1960, only one of the nine known flamingos living wild in Florida was ever found.

It was sighted some weeks after, disheveled and far north of its normal range. Hurricanes also pose a problem for the rare spoonbills or "flame birds" or "pink curlews," so-called because of their bright roseate color, by destroying trees in their rookeries. Exceptional weather conditions with unusually high winds often deflect migrants from their usual routes and at the same time carry many nonmigrating birds from their regular range. The hurricanes that occasionally move north along the eastern seaboard, by the counter-clockwise direction of their winds, force many southbound migrants and seabirds far inland. As a result, ward.

This is the mid-September peak (. the migration season and many species should be in the storm zone now. Hurricane winds or their aftermath may take a toll of the feathered travelers but many species, called "weather migrants," merely move with favorable conditions. Many have stopped short of the region or passed through before the hurricane struck. Many natives of the hurricane-plagued regions swear by the actions of nian-o-war birds before a big storm strikes.

Before the advent of radar and the use of "hurricane-hunting airplanes," these birds were used to forecast the winds. This species is known also as frigate bird, frigate pelican, and hurricane bird. The latter name comes from the West Indies where the bird's appearance is said to be a forecast of bad weather. These majestic birds of the ocean are rarely seen on the mainland except along the coast and then usually after storms of strong or hurricane force. By BURT MONROE Hurricanes pack a terrific wallop.

When they strike land, they cause un-believeable destruction and make big news. This prompts many people conservationists and naturalists among them to ask the question as to what happens to the birds when the huge storms lash the coasts. No one knows for certain because no sane ornithologist or bird-watcher is out in that kind of weather seeking the answer. The literature makes very little men-tion of the actions of birds during hurricanes. Most that is known has been learned from observations of the behavior of a few species of birds just prior to and just after big winds.

Also providing information is the mute evidence of catastrophe after the storms have passed. Obviously, many birds as well as other kinds of animals, sometimes are killed in numbers. Some concern is felt for the large number of birds now migrating south Following the tropical storm of Aug. 6, 1939, they appeared over the lakes in the city of Baton Rouge, La and at various places along the Mississippi River as far north as Natchez, Miss. Strong Flyers Flee Storms On the east coast of Florida, frigate birds are likely to be observed during heavy gales.

At Daytona Beach, 12 were found on Sept. 18, 1926, the day the big hurricane struck the southeast coast of Florida. So it is quite evident that man-o-war birds, as well as other strong flyers, flee storms. Hurricanes pose the biggest threat to species in short supply. In 1932, the great white heron was in a sad state due to promiscuous shooting and reduction by tropical storms.

Shortly after the first protective measure to save the species was instituted, the worst hurricane ever to strike the Florida Keys occurred on Labor Day, 1935, reducing these birds to the dangerously i i Spoonbills Take Beating First Of Big Meets You9 re The Skipper Boat Owners Should Beware Of Landlubber Mechanics Plans Taking Shape For Tenpin All-Star pr will qualify one man each, giving the state a total representation of four men and two women in the "national." In Louisville, there will be 12 qualifying sites over a period of four weekends from Oct. 9-10 through Oct. 30-31. Out of these will come 24 men and 24 women to take part in a semifinal round on Nov. 6 and 7 at Indian Trail, Pee Wee Reese, and Poplar Level Lanes.

In turn, the semis will produce eight men and eight women the top scorers to roll in a final round Nov. 13 and 14 at Spare Time Bowl, Frederick's Lanes and Parkmoor Recreation. Incidentally, while two eliminations for men are being held outside of Louisville, women bowlers of Kentucky and By KEN RUSH The colorful All-Star, first of bowling big tournaments each season in this area, gets under way next month. And, to pave the way, many tenpin houses will launch a series of pre-tourney "sweepers" this week. These events offer, as prizes, paid entries in the All-Star's qualifying round.

Jack Metcalf, executive secretary of the sponsoring Bowling Proprietors Association, announced details yesterday for the Louisville section of the state's annual All-Star eliminations. For the first time, there will be three elims in Kentucky the one here and others in the eastern and western parts of the state. The Louisville tourney will qualify two men and two women for the national finals at Lansing, next January.

Bounnell, of Louisville, won the toy group at the show here. synchronizing carburetion to ignition, and it takes two and a half hours for the factory-recommended job." Inboard owners, too, should guard against being taken in by self-proclaimed mechanics. A friend who owns a 40-foot auxiliary sloop was on his way to take part in a long-distance race when the exhaust valves began sticking on his four-cylinder engine. He coasted to a dock, where a fast-talking character offered to tow the skipper up an inlet to his marina, where his mechanics would free the valves. The marina turned out to be a broken-down dock, and the so-called mechanics took the head off the engine, monkeyed with it for several hours without accomplishing anything.

It wouldn't start. My friend finally settled for being towed to the starting line, arriving at 3 a.m. After some argument, the charge was reduced from $150 to $100, and still the engine wouldn't start. The owner, who is a lawyer, knew he was legally liable for a mechanic's lien, and felt fortunate to get off as well as he did. Questions and Answers Q.

How can I tell if the lower unit seal on my outboard has been broken, and what causes this? A. Excessive amount of water in the lubricant when the gearbox is drained is the tip-off. Monofilament fishing line, wound around the propeller shaft just forward of the prop hub, is the most frequent cause. It tightens and cuts like a knife. Q.

How often should the mechanical fuel pump be replaced on an inboard? A. At least every two years. If the diaphragm breaks while under way, gasoline from the lower breather hole will drip into the bilge, causing explosion dancer. Copyright 1965, Publishers Newspaper Syndicate By JOHN BOHANNAN We hope that some of you will learn that a marine engine, either outboard or inboard, is designed for a special purpose. Likewise, a marine engine mechanic has had specialized training, and works with special equipment.

There is no substitute for his ability, and the skipper who thinks he can save money by trying to do too much of his own service work, or by employing the services of the usual garage mechanic, lawnmower repair man or dockside know-it-all is headed for expensive trouble. Sure, you can change, clean and gap your own spark plugs, following manu-factuers' recommendations. You can clean out sediment bowls and replace filter elements. In an outboard, you can drain the lower unit and replace with fresh lubricant. Inboard owners can use a sump pump to remove old oil from the crankcase and replace it with fresh marine-type oil of the proper SAE ratings.

Could Cause Overheating When the ignition of an outboard needs servicing, tinkering by a person without factory training is just asking for grief. For example, if the breaker points are opened up to automotive clearances on some engines, pre-ignition will result, causing overheating. The expanded pistons not only can wear themselves out, but score the cylinder walls. Outboard carburetors, too, should be reserved for expert hands. A simple mistake like changing the float level can cause either flooding or the more disastrous lean-out Flooding from an inboard carburetor introduces an explosion hazard.

A top outboard mechanic tells me he has had several cases of threads being stripped by backyard mechanics Dogs Of Brother, Sister In 'Private' Title Race DRAINING the gear box and refilling it with a lubricant recommended by the manufacturer is one of the service functions the outboard owner can perform safely. If a large amount of water is present in the old lube, have the authorized dealer replace the lower unit seal. trying to remove flywheels, and in two cases the tops of the crankshafts were broken off by hammering. "I can't understand why a man will spend $1,000 to $1,300 for a big outboard, then not want to pay $20 to $25 for a tune-up," he said.

THE 'HONOR ROLL' Starting tonight, The Courier-Journal will assemble outstanding league scores for daily listing in its "Bowling Honor Roll." As in previous years, the scores will be accepted only from bowling establishments not individuals.

To qualify, scores must be up to these standards: MEN: Single Garnet 235. Series 613 for three games, 850 for four, 1050 for five. WOMEN: Single Gamee-210. Seriet-525 for three games, 700 for four, 900 for five. OTHERS: All triplicates, 7-10 and Big Four splits, Dutch 200 games and all-spare games.

ROOKIES SHINE Young "graduates" of junior leagues came up with fine showings in their first adult-league performances as the new season officially opened here last week. Jim Ewald 18, who has signed up for five men's leagues this winter, led young crop with a 679 series that topped the United Major's first night at Mid-City Lanes. In the Western Classic at Western Lanes, Bobby Brown shot a 638 and Glenn Bartberger a 631. Among the oldsters, Mike Gast, back home after a year in Birmingham, hit a 660 in the United Major and Charley Schrader led the Western Classic with a 651. Another open-pinnage league, the Thelmal Masters, starts tonight, with 16 three-man teams embarking on an unusual schedule of rolling two three-game matches each Sunday night at Thelmal Lanes.

STRIKES SPARES A new junior singles league is planned at Poplar Level Lanes for Saturday afternoons in other words, one-member 'teams' rolling four-game matches on a 100 per cent handicap basis. PL's Bob Haag is hoping for a total of 32 boys and girls for a schedule beginning Sept. 25. After two years of retirement from bowling, former Louisville star Flo Farwick is back rolling in a women's pinnage league on Thursday nights at Frederick's Lanes. "I want to try it again," she says.

Mel Bullock, who finished last season with a 159 average, opened the Masonic League at Brunswick Olympic Center last week with a 275 game and 633 series, his first 600. At Frederick's, Paul Young (average 179) blasted off the Major Mixed League with 278617. There also. Dee Coyle, who was out of bowling last season, began with 237621 in the ladies' Pharmacy League. The King's Men By LEW SHARPLEY Speaking of junior showmanship, Joan and Jack Vest, Scottsburg, sister and brother, are in a race to see whose dog wins championship first.

Joan's Old English Sheepdog and Jack's St. Bernard have won 12 points each of the 15 required for a conformation title. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Gene H.

Vest have been exhibiting their dogs in this keen rivalry since March, but stayed away from the shows during July and August because hot weather is hard on these breeds. Joan was ahead, 11 points to nine, until the Louisville Kennel Club show last Monday at the State Fairgrounds. Then Browser L'Ours Alpin, handled by Jack, won three points in a large ring of St. Bernards. There were fewer Old English entered, but Joan's Tamara's Sparkle Plenty took one point and best of breed, tying the score.

Joan, now 14 years old, and Jack, 13, both worked for two years, outside school hours, to earn the considerable money required to buy top-quality show dogs. Jack is actually ahead in the championship race at this point because his dog has won both of the three-point awards needed in the total of 15, while Joan's has only one. St. Bernards are much more numerous than Old English, and point awards are based on the number shown in each breed and sex at a given show. So Joan has a real problem: winning in a show where a lot of Old English females are competing.

A number of Kentucky dogs scored important victories during the three Kentucky circuit shows. Among the wins at Louisville were: Cocker Spaniel (particolor) Holly Hill Hullabaloo, 3 points, and Holly Hill Hello Dolly, reserve, year-old litter mates owned by AV. H. Payne, Louisville. 'Profile Of A Prodigy' Put Spotlight On Bobby Bingo 41)' Victor In Beadle Trial Bingo owned and handled by Don Thrap of Fisherville, was judged best among the 15-inch males at the 13th annual Silver Creek Beagle Club trial just concluded at the club running grounds near Henryville, Ind.

Bingo won out over a field of 65 beagles. The licensed trial attracted an over-all field of 248. Winner in the 15-inch female class, in which 72 were entered, was Bevo's Hello Dolly, owned and handled by T. M. Dunlevy of Jeffersonville.

Recreation Diamond, owned by Wilbur Lutz of Shelbyville, and handled by Fredia Ehringer, also of Shelbyville, took 13-inch male honors and Salt River Frankie Sue, owned by Homer C. Thomas of Louisville and handled by Keith L. Thomas, Louisville, placed first among the 13-inch females. Outside judges were Bob Bullock of Indianapolis and Henry Clay of Niles, Ohio, who served with club judges Charley Cronin, Dale Pemberton and Charles McAllister, all of Louisville. Beam.

Robinette 7th In Doubles Pin Meet Special to The Courier-Journal PARKERSBURG, W. Va. Cookie Beam and Pat Robinette of Louisville held seventh place last night at the halfway point in the 16-game Eastern Regional of the National Women's Doubles Bowling Tournament. Their total for eight games was 3147, only 53 pins under 200 individual averages. Other Kentuckiana icores: Marilynn Bruner-Helen Fuquay (Evansville), 2989; Bonnie Hannah-Helen Schlageter, 2926; Peggy Barsatze-Mary Underwood (Corbin), 2760, and Margaret Henderson-Doris Gagel, 2734.

The two-day tourney has a field of 124 two-woman teams. The top four pairs here, along with the top four in the Western Regional at Houston, will advance to the national finals Sept. 25 and 26 at West Nyack, N.Y. The national event carries a $9,000 prize fund. By MERRILL DOWDEX PROFILE OF A PRODIGY: By Frenk Bredy.

250 pp. David McKiy Co. U.S0. Biographer Frank Brady couldn't have chosen a better time to record for posterity (and the current market) the life and games of chess prodigy Bobby Fischer. The publication date coincides nicely with the Capablanca Memorial Tournament now being staged at Havana, and the fiery Fischer, as usual, is in the star role.

Denied a visa to visit Cuba by the State Department, Fischer is cabling his moves from New York, and this novelty alone is getting him headlines around the world. Brady was serving as Fischer's referee in the tournament until the U.S. champion fired him in a fit of anger. Brady said he received a call from Fischer's attorney saying it "disturbed Fischer's concentration" to have Brady in the same room with him. Whether the feud is genuine or something dreamed up by a publicity agent I am not prepared to say.

But I repeat, Brady couldn't have chosen a better time. "The problem is the book I wrote about him," said Brady. "He didn't like it. It isn't flattering." Well, no honest appraisal of Bobby Fischer could be entirely flattering. And I do believe Brady has attempted an honest appraisal.

Declaring at the very beginning of the book that he is no scholar, an admission with which I am not inclined to quarrel, Brady nevertheless does a satisfactory job of putting Bobby into focus and there emerges a clearer picture than any I have yet seen of this fascinating, stubborn, rebellious, incomparably gifted young international grandmaster.
