TO old-timers, a bowl'ng tournament in the salubrious southern California climate sepms incongruous. Until the invention of the automatic pinsetter in more recent years, bowling was associated with wrintry nights in cities like Chicago, Cleveland and Buffalo. Not now. And the 20th annual Bowling Proprietors Association of America All-Star Tournament being held in gorgeous San Bernardino, set there at the foot of the mountains, strikingly illustrates extent to which pin toppling has mushroomed The BPAA All Star runs 10 days and nights.

Another sign of bowling's tremendous growth is the number of teen-agers bobbing up in championships. The men field has nine of them, including Jack Connaughton of Oconomowoc, at 15 the youngest ever to qualify for the BPAA All-Star. The kids will be seeking to unseat the defending titleholder.

Harry Smith of St. Louis, a ripe old 30 who averaged 211 for 100 games In Omaha a year agv. and nipping at the heels of their other seniors. For a teen-ager to show up on the nation's TV screens when the final hour is aired would be extraordinary, but could happen. The amazing and unorthodox Don Carter, who has won four All- Stars and three of the tour World Invitational Tournaments held to date, have to tell the youngsters that it takes a lot of conditioning and experience in pacing yourself, plus natural ability, to make it against this type of field throughout 100 games.

Carter is, of course, one of 32 seeded through national tournaments. Young Connaughton. however, learned enough in his after high school classes to average 214, 213 and 197 in three leagues. He had nine 700 senes in leagues last year. At five feet 10 and 155 pounds he has a ot of growing to do and he is building himself up with from 50 to 60 games a week.

Set 'em up. By WM. TYALOR McKEOWN Editor, Popular Boating Where do all those boats come from? That is a question asked by old-time sailors every year.

Part of the answer is now available in statistics released for I960 by the National Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers and the Outboard Boating Club of America. These trade tions try to keep track of the growth of the sport. That isn't easy. Deer Head Near Record Points COLUMBUR A giant typ leal deer head scoring almost 179 points came to HKlit as the result of measuring Ohio deer for the current Buckeye Big Ruck Club competition. Division of Wildlife officials report.

The hig head, taken hr Roger Schumacher. W'oodsfieid. in Monroe county, on the first dav of the 1958 Ohio deer sea son. scored within five points of last championship and Crockett Club head. It is the biggest entry to date in the Rig Bucks competition and may rank high in the current Boone and Crockett Club competition which is continent- wide in scope.

Schumacher is an avid deer hunter and has hunted in many eastern states in addition to Ohio. best trophies come from he commented. The estimate 225.000 new were sold last year and $2,525,000.000 was spent on inboards and outboards, motors and trailers, used boats, accessories, maintenance, storage, fuel and insurance and more besides on entertaining. The groups admit that this count includes some guesawork While they are pretty sure that there are 6.050.000 outboard motors in use more than in because approximately how many have been produced, there's no telling how many home built boats are sitting on ponds, rivers, lakes, scacoasts and in yards. These take a great many boatmen away from land-based worries every year perhaps 000 in 1960.

according to this new report. But many boats will not hold still for a census. Boating is a carebee sport. While some form of registration is now the law in 38 states, some count only powercraft with more than 10 horsepower. Twelve states i boat numbering to the United States Coast Guard, which can keep track of only those craft on federal waters.

There arc an estimated 2.527.000 row boats, canoes, dinghies, skiffs, john boats and similar humble hulls floating around that are never likely to be accurately enumerated. The 1.800.000 trailers in use last year also undoubtedly include many home-built models that would not show up in an official count. Radio telephone figures, however, are a firm number and the Federal Communications Commission has issued 93.600 licenses. Some may cover more than one aet aboard. Oil companies like to figure how- much fuel is used to push along pleasure craft.

They come up with 387.000,000 gallons of gas for outboards and 160.000,000 for inboard powered boats. More than 25,000,000 gallons of lubricating oil was used and about the same amount of diese! fuel. All was not happy for the industry, however, for money spent on the sport was 5.2 percent less than 1959 but five percent above 1958. The average size of boat preferred is still likely to be about 50 feet long with room for a party of 10 and hot and cold running crew. The average length of outboard boats actually bought is 15 feet half foot 'onger than lalst typical boat.

The average outboard motor had at least 27 horsepower, up five from last year. Boating In I960 showed an overall retail dollar of only two percent, bringing the total guess of recreational eraft in use to 8.025.000. But from personal observation, the total number of pleasure hours afloat enjoyed by American families sppearcd to be unlimited. SEAGOING showed fewer boats sold in 196ft than the year before. But with an estimated eight million in use.

waterways like Florida's Kissimmee River, scene of the annual Boat A-Cade, seem busier each year. Boating is a carefree sport.

The beavers, which we.ghed between 10 and 11 pounds each, had drowned so they were mounted for display and educational purposes. The accidental" catch is of interest because it shows that these southern Ohio beavers are successfully reproducing.

Additional evidei.ee of reproduction turned up a 20-potmd beaver was caught in a trap in Vinton county, also early the trapping season. Fhis young animal had rot drowned so it was tagged ar.d released unharmed. Adult beavers weigh 35 to 40 pounds and normally pull free when caught in muskrat Younger animals are smaller and occasionally drown when caught. For the first time in many years beavers may be trapped from January 16 through January 21, 1961, in Ashtabula. Columbiana and Mahoning counties.

Wild Pheasants Prove Dangerous At Ohio Airports COLUMBUS Pheasants may be hazards on an airport, according to Springfield Municipal Airport authorities. This was the basic logic behind making this airport a public hunting area, recalls Dan Atzenhoefer. Wildlife District 6 supervisor, Ohio Division of Wildlife. The role of birda in some recent aircraft wrecks throughout the United States brought this information to light. Atzenhoefer recalled that the airport officials had considered pheasants a hazard on the runways.

He contacted them to get details. George Arthur, manager of the airport, remembered three incidents where pheasants nad caused flight problems. About four years ago a pheasant flew into the intake of a PT jet as it took off The plane was forced to land at Findlay to remove the bird. Two years ago, Arthur was taking off in a small plane when a pheasant flew up and hit the propeller. Sufficient damage was done that Arthur was unable to continue his flight.

Last year a pheasant flew into a landing plane and broke a window in the cabin, but no one was hurt. sampling of accidents which Arthur could recall indicates that pheasants pose a threat on an airport and where jets are used the damage may be extremely severe," says Atzenhoefer. solution kills two birds with one stone damage to aircraft is lessened and a portion of the public enjoys the recreation provided by Atzenhoefer concluded.
