City experts welcome back Gus Payne who won four national titles and six state cups in his day. In fact, this 1937 season, boomed off royally last Sunday, has every apearance of eclipsing all. AS a branch of More Game Birds of America, city sportsmen temporarily organized last week.

Judge Edgar S. Vaught called the gathering and appointed Dr. A. C. Hirshfield, temporary chairman.

The plan is to contribute in every way to the improvement of duck breeding grounds in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Oddly enough, money spent in that region for the purpose will mean better duck hunting in Oklahoma. The birds migrate aouth, but they must be cared for while breeding. Prominent city hunters present at the gathering were John Kroutil. John Cail-loux, Judge John H.

Shirk. Forrest Taylor, Dan Hogan. Charley Brill. Ben Allen Ames, Ray Weems and Joe Morris. All the quail around Fort Sill were going into their toughest hiding places Saturday night as made ready for their annual two-day came of hide-and-seek with the Oklahoma Amateur Field Trials asociation.

For the field trial boys, accompanied by "5 prize bird dogs, descend on Fort Sill Sunday and Monday, and for two days the pups will chase over the reservation, smelling awav for all they are worth. Larsre Entry Forecast The Fort Sill trials will be the only meet of its kind in the state this year, and hence are expected to draw a record entry. Oklahoma dogs will be joined by aristocratic pointers and setters from Kansas. Texas and Arkansas In the six stake races. Last spring, for the first time in several years, the field trials were not held at Fort Sill, but at Ada.

due to a rabies quarantine at the army post. The Fort Sill site has always tjcen popular with the quail, which means it also Is popular with the field trial-ers. In the 1934 trials. 28 covies were found, and 35 covies were discovered in 1935. This is taken to mean that there will 'be plenty of quail Sunday and Monday, a big item in field trials.

A Discouraging Thine There is nothing more discouraging to prize bird flog than to smell and smell and yet get nothing but a whiff of ground squirrel or posslblv a iaok rabbit. 1 Drawings of the dogs for the various stakes were held at the Midland hotel in Lawton Saturday night, with the first trial to be run off at 3 a. m. Sunday. Cope Murphy.

For fewer of the games are being played in Neighbor Jones' pasture, and more teams are acquiring up-to-date, if not downright ritzy, stadiums. Guthrie has made the off-season's greatest stride. A complete baseball plant, with stands seating 1.500 and bleachers available for 600 more, fills the Guthrie Merchants' season with promise and puts a happy smile on the face of Manager Garnet L.

Billings. Guthrie bench-warmers can lay claim to fancier doghouses than their big league brethren boast. Built on the same dimensions as the Holland field dugouts, the Guthrie benches are of native stone. Fountains at the end of each dugout replace trie communiiy water Ducket. The Guthrie park is in the new-municipal stadium located in the business district.

Dressing rooms, shower baths and a regulation playing field with 300 -foot baselines are provided. Even fancier, in external appearance, is the Fairfax layout. Tne field is encircled by a fence of native stone. Stillwater is spending more than SI, 000 in improvements on its. Fairgrounds park, where Aggieland expects Luke Francis' reorganized nine to play some snappy baseball.

GIVIC clubs will be enabled to raise funds for worthy causes through the new district tournament sponsorship plan devised by th, Oklahoma Baseball federation. Only civic clubs, newspapers or district baseball association will be permitted to sponsor the July qualifying payoffs for The Daily Okia-homan and Times state sandlot tournament August 13-22. Sponsors are to make an advance payment- of $50 for season tickets, due May 1, when submitting bids to the permanent district associations organized last year. The $50 shall serve as the district's membership fee in the state federation, teams paying their $5 membership to district treasuries. With the district secretary-treasurer in charge of enlisting teams and directing tournament play, sponsors will take over financial operation of the tournament.

Sponsors are to furnish appropriate prizes, prorate a minimum of 33 1-3 percent of the gross receipts among competing teams on a mileage basis and pay 10 percent to the district treasury. The remainder would take care of tournament ex-penses and leave a balance, past financial records of district tournaments indicate.
