DAILY TRIBUNE Outdoors in Wisconsin Chris Van Cuyk Can't Miss, Says Preacher Winter Fails to Cut Into State's Bird Crop; Hunting Outlook Good The figure went to 163 in 1904, 1G9 in Bradsher's final year. He allowed only 3 hits in 13 games that last spring, pitched two no-hitters. When he wasn't pitching, he played third or in the outfield. One of the first to receive such an offer, Arthur Bradsher turned down $10,000 to sign a professional contract and went into the to. bacco business.

At least, these two old partners in this famous turf classic have a pretty good hand in the 77th Derby. This showed up yesterday In the $10,000 Derby trial, A one mile race which affords three-year-old horses their final big prep for the main event. Fanfare, a Calumet farm colt which wasn't even considered for the Derby less than two weeks ago, pounded down to the wire a driving winner of the Derby trial.

More impressive, thought some obseVvers, was the fast-closing Battle Morn, owned by the Cain Hoy stable and ridden by Arcaro. Battle Morn, running far back as usual, came with a bang to get fourth. Plain Ben Jones has won five Derbies, more than any other trainer. Banana Nose Eddie Arcaro has ridden four Derby winners, more than any jockey. Although Arcaro piloted three winners for Jones Lawrin, Whirl-away and Citation they will be on the other side of the fence Saturday when the bugle calls them to the post at 4:30 p.m.

Col. Bill Corum, president of the Downs, forecast a record throng of some 110,000 Saturday if the weather stays clear. V4 Chris Van Cuyk CALL FOR iTHE r1 A RTAMI 4 Wasting BY DIOX HENDERSON AP Outdoor Writer The winter that blustered and threatened Wisconsin's wildlife so ominously turned out to have not only a worse bark than bite, but a heart of gold. In fact, things turned out to be in such good condition that the chances are good for another bumper game harvest this fall. How would you like, for instance, a 30-day pheasant season, or 23 days at the least? The pheasant carryover, following a moderate kill, is the highest in more than a decade.

And partridge how would 51 shooting clays fit into your plans? John Partridge breezed through the winter of the big snows and apparently still is on the boom side of his cycle. Even sharptails appear to be recovering from the local soft spots of last year and ought to be stars of a considerably lengthened season in their range areas before they bow out again. Even the quail did all right Last year's enomous quail popu-lationVent virtually untouched by hunters and winter which raised the dickens to begin with on the big coeys wound up by tak- ing hardly more birds than could have been harvested safely by guns. Huns, too, turned out to be still I on the rise when public excitement over losses to the conspicuous cause we didn't want to see him back in the Texas League. "Oh, I'll be down there again before long, I reckon," said Van Cuyk, and he sounded as if he meant it.

The Dodger bosses don't think so. Like Roe they believe big Chris is ready. Could Mean Difference If he is he could mean that difference in Brooklyn pitching that means the pennant. The other contenders St. Louis, Boston, New York, Philadephia all admit depth of good pitching is the only Brooklyn problem, intensified now by the impending loss to the Army of Ervin Palica.

Ralph Branca failed as a starter, although he won steadily as a relief man in late season. Rex Barney apparently is through, or so the Dodgers fear. Great speed, but just no control at all. Branca Powerful The Dodgers are powerful, they'll probably be the favorites as usual, but there's the feeling that those big cats can't do it all. And aside from Newcombe and Roe and possibly Bankhead as starters and Branca as relief, there's nothing proven in the pitching end of the Brooklyn pennant bid.

So the lads who have been the top mound hands of the Texas League these past two seasons for Fort Worth Carl Erskine in 1949 and Chris Van Cuyk in 1950 figure as the key men in Dodger plans. Especially big Chris and that confidence he needs to make top it err t. in front of the pack when Uncle Branch Rickey hustled him and Joe Landrum up to the Brooklyn club. "That big lug can't miss," El-win Charles Roe said, sidling up to me while a photographer was snapping Van Cuyk's picture. "He's been out plenty this spring, six innings at a whack, and he's been giving nobody any hits or runs to speak of.

"This club needs more pitching and he's going to give it to us. "Pleasure to see him blow the ball in there. Lots of power, plenty of stuff. "Take me, now. I'm six-feet-three but I weigh just 170 pounds.

I have to wrangle around and try to fool 'em a little bit. Chris overpowers 'em. "All he needs to be a great pitcher is a little more confidence." Needs Confidence I knew I'd heard that word before from Bobby Bragan, catcher-manager of the Fort Tire Milage When wheels are out of balance or out of line, you lose hundreds of "tire miles" at a time when you should be conserving your tires.

All of which is a reminder that bird populations can be maintained by good hatches despite annual losses of 50 per cent or more.

Small game too wintered well. The fall's good mast crop assured fat and romantic squirrels this spring, and the rabbits are not otherwise except maybe not so fat. Deer died, of course, but for many years now we've been seeing the deer starve in Wisconsin and with a heavy gun harvest last fall not as many starved as usual, so even that report is optimistic, in kind of a pessimistic sort of way. Sportsmen and their clubs get a big assist for the good winter survival picture. Will Grimmer, superintendent of game management for the conservation department, says that those who pitched in with feeding programs undoubtedly deserve a big share of the credit, particularly in the habitat-poor southern counties.
