After less than one hour of good weather in the Thumb area Wednesday morning, the rains came. Most hunters were well drenched by noon when they abandoned the woods and fields.

The flurry of good hunting in the morning gave way to only occasional shooting in the afternoon in this region where the typical game bag showed one ringneck for every four soggy hunters. CONSERVATION officials had been worried about the fire hazard because of a long period without rain this month. They had nothing to worry about after Wednesday. The weather bureau was all wet 'with its re-season predictions which had called for more fair, dry weather with temperatures in the 70s. The showers they predicted for later in the week came as an unpleasant surprise.

Rain began coming down hard around 11 o'clock and continued until 2 p.m., but by then many hunters were too wet to continue. In the Ottawa-Allegan County region of Southwestern Michigan, rains ended just before the opening hour of 10 a.m. The weather there wa3 perfect.

Hull, the Black Hawks' Golden Jet, streaked in on right wing that's right and centered it for Howe, flying down the left side. With players like Howe and Hull, position obviously doesn't mean much. Howe worked it back Into the middle for Hull, who backhanded it to Ullman, unguarded at Worsley's left. And Ullman, the NHL's top marksman "C'mon, get up! Get dressed! Let's get going!" Bobby Baird rolled over on the cot in the den. He looked up through the red haze at the two cops who were shaking him.

"W-who who are you?" he mumbled, "what do you want?" "C'mon, get dressed! Let's go!" As they led him out of the apartment, the two little girls stood in the corner of the living room, sobbing. Bobby Baird's head was spinning. What had he done? What did they want with him? He'd drunk the quart of gin in less than a hour but that was no crime. They can't arrest you for drinking, not in your own home. But there he was, in the small, dark cell, his head buried in his hands, the white-hot pain crashing against his temples why? why? why?

"They kept me in jail for four days, then they told me my wife had signed the papers and so they took me to Manderville, which was outside of New Orleans, and I stayed there for four months," said Baird. The wine had soured, the roses had shriveled to black pulps. The year was 1960.

"I didn't know why I was there I felt good and everything," he said. "Maybe I gave up, I don't know, but after a while I didn't mind it so much. I could get around and I saw guys who needed my help.

The troubled Lions turned Wednesday to one of the great ball hawks in pro football history in a desperate move to solve their problems in the defensive backfield. They restored Dick (Night Train) Lane to active duty. THEY MAY even start him at his old left corner position when they face the Bears in Chicago Sunday. That left corner remember it? is where the Liens weeks by the Baltimore Colts and the Green Bay Packers. They've summoned Train to shut 'em off at the corner and hopefully, save the Lions from quick ruin in the Western Division race.

The move brought the release of Jim Kearney, the rookie back from Prairie View who was victimized by the Packers in their Sl-21 comeback victory over the Lions last Sunday.
