He said the bird, which was completely white, was in a covey of about 15 quail found near Millstadt. When the birds flushed, Man-non at first thought the white bird was a pigeon among the quail. However, with the help of his dog, he tracked the bird down as a single and shot it, Fly-Tying Classes Free fly-tying classes willjie conducted by the Missouri Trout Fishermen's Association, St. Louis chapter, starting tomorrow night at the V.F.W.

Sharpshooter Jim King headed a losing causfe with 18 points tops for the game and got 10 rebounds. The victory was Cincinnati's third in four Missouri Valley Conference games, while it was the first league game for Tulsa.

Although the first half was tlow, Cincinnati had a 21-6 yead with 12 minutes gone, and Coach Ed Jucker changed his entire first team foe reserves. The lead was still 34-18 at the half and Cincinnati had little trouble pulling ahead steadily in the second half. Tom Thacker with 17 points and Tony Yates with 14 were Cincinnati's scoring leaders. Thacker also snatched off 22 rebounds his best ever. The Bearcats put on a defensive squeeze through the first half and dominated the backboards ithroughout.

Clemson's inept shooting, 28 ppr cent, produced only 19 baskets in 66 shots. Wake Forest had eight more baskets on two less shots for 42 per cent. The Deacons led 41-21 at the half and breezed to their third conference victory against one loss. Clemson has a 1-3 league record. Chappell, scoring mostly on in side shots, hit eight of 17 and added 11 of 18 from the foul line in the 33 minutes he played.

Sophomore Dick Carmichael was runnerup for Wake Forest with 13 points for his 19 minutes. Jim tirennan was Clemson's scoring leader with 18 points. I However, rabbits can be daylight taken only during hours, -as previously. Dan Saults, assistant director of the commission, explained that the prohibition against shooting quail and squirrels before sunrise or after sunset had had little effect. The situation is different in the case of rabbits because the bunnies are too easily taken when caught in the glare of lights during darkness, Saults-said.

Missouri is almost certain to have a wild turkey season again this year and the regulations may be liberalized, Outdoors has learned. Conservation Commission biologists say that the state's turkey flock has improved to the extent that the season may be extended to four half days, instead of three half days. Turkeys were put back on the game list in lfltiO after having been off limits to hunters for many years. Last year 14 counties were open for shooting gobblers. Two or three additional counties, including Ozark and Taney, may be added to the hunting territory' this season.

Season's dates have not been announced but they likely will be in the latter part of April, Haul of 30 Bass Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Schneider, 10109 Glenfield terrace, Crestwood, and their two children recently caught 30 bass at the Cranfield Recreational Area on Lake Norfork, near Mountain Home, Ark.

Oi ororated on tft PuV" on rpiwS Nff i Wagner to White Ollie Vanek, who often points to odd twists in his business of scouting big league players, recalled that he was sizing up' Leon Wagner of the Giants' Phoenix farm club when he suddenly became interested in Bill White, Wagner's teammate. So, the Redbirds eventually went for White when they dealt pitcher Sam Jones to San Francisco. Wagner came to the Cardinals later, then was dealt away. White, incidentally, was kidding Stan Musial the other day about having to move into a new St.

Louis riverfront stadium in a few years. "I'll take my chances on that right field screen at Busch Stadium rather than a new stadium," said White, a lefthand-ed pull hitter. "After all, Stan, you had 20 years to shoot at that screen. Give me a chance." Said Musial of White's leaning to Busch Stadium, "There goes a vote for the stadium bond issue." didn't have any lights and we didn't start our games until 4:30 in the afternoon. That way we figured we might draw a few of the men who were lucky enough to be working in the few mills that weren't shut down." Vanek pointed out that although Musial was tried out primarily as a pitcher, Stan was asked to demonstrate his run- ningi hittine anfj fielding ability.

"It was common practice then and it's the same now," Vanek noted. "A lot of young kids pitch in high school and Legion mainly because they throw hardest. So we try them out at everything to make sure we don't overlook anything. I remember trying out Larry Jackson as a shortstop, and look what a pitcher he has become." How did 17-year-old Musial look to Vanek in his first screen test? "From the first, Stan had good speed and co-ordination," said Vanek. "He was of slight build then, about 150 pounds.

At the plate he didn't show much power, but he hit the ball sharply. He was signed primarily as a pitcher because he had a good live fast ball. But he wasn't really overpowering."

"Certainly no one can say he can predict that a young kid will become a super-great, but I always said at Springfield that Stan would be a good player," Vanek said.

While in the St. Louis Muny ranks, Vanek, a Chicagoan who moved here and went to St. Louis teamed with another Cardinal great, Terry Moore, on the Omaha Markets. In addition to Moore and Vanek, the crack Omaha Market team included Charley Baron (Baronovic) at first base, Nick Loefflcr at second, Joe Dumas at short, Bob O'Neill at third, Jack Hogan behind the plate and Jim Kienzler in right. Hogan's twin brother Tom and Lefty George were the pitchers, Tony Simonic was the catcher and manager, and Monte Gummels was a utility infielder.

After losing to the Columbian Athletic Club in the city final one year, the Omaha Markets got a chance for revenge, in the national public parks final held in St. Louis. Moore won the title game with an inside-the-park home run, but the effort and the excessive hat were too. much for Terry. He collapsed after crossing home plate.

By Neal Russo The stubby man who changed the course of the Cardinals' history with one decision 25 years ago looked across the room at his one-time protege the other day. "I'm still proud of him," said the stubby man, Ollie Vanek, of the player he recommended that the Redbirds sign after a brief trail.

The kid, of course, turned out to be Stan Musial. Vanek, who has been a longtime scout for the baseball Cardinals since his playing days ended, said, "There's no question but that Musial was signed strictly on my decision after he worked out for me. If I said we would have lost him. If I said we got him. But that happens often in this game." A catcher for the Redbirds' Decatur farm club in 1937, Vanek suffered a broken index finger.

Despite the injury, he belted a game-winning grand-slam homer for Decatur. Right after that game, he was informed that he would take over as manager of the Redbirds' Mones-sen (Pa.) farm. "I didn't even know where Monessen was," Vanek said. It's close to Musial's home town, Dnnora. Vanek said he had planned to scout Musial, who still had a year to go in high school (there was no rule barring signing of high school boys then) in a Le ginn ball game.

"But our Monessen club was at home at the time, so I had him come out to our park to work out," Vanek recalled.

Exiled to the bullpen in late June with a miserable 3-8 record and a ballooned earned-run average, the Cardinal righthander was one of the National League's top pitchers from July on.

He beat the hard-hitting Giants on two successive three-hit shutouts. Jackson will come here from his Boise (Idaho) home to accept the award, named for the veteran Cardinal trainer.
