HIT-RUN ACCIDENT ; l*e auto of Carl Hiever of Island Lake was reported to have been damaged by a, hitand- run driver on Rt. 176 Wednesday night of last week. He. escaped injuries in the accident, for both fish and mussels. COMMERCIAL FISHING LICENSES SECURED PROM LOCAL CLERKS Director Glen D. Palmer of the state Department of Conservation reminds commercial fishermen and other anglers that, under new regulations, all fishing licenses are available at the offices of the county, city, village, township ' or incorporated town clerks. Under changes In , the fish code, authorized by the 68th General Assembly, it is no long er necessary to send to the Springfield office for any fishing licenses, Palmer said. He said that numerous applications for 1954 commercial fishing licenses are being received at the Springfield office, and Suied it is necessary for the department to return these «»applications together with instructions to the applicants. Prior to this year, it was necessary to send directly to Springfield for commercial licenses of all types. The simplified code has changed all of this so that all fishermen can apply directly to the local clerk and get their licenses. Only cases, Palmer said, in which it is necessary to apply directly to Springfield are in connection with dealers' licenses, both wholesale and retail, and at 8 p.m. Lake Zurich (78) Rizzo O.

The great basketball shooter from Rio Grande College in Rio Grande, Ohio, was taken to an intimate and fashionable French flare on the East Side, where Bevo handled the carte du jour with the aplomb of a guy who was in New York before. The first item on the menu, printed in English under "cocktails" was lobster -- $2.25. Next was "hors d'oeuvre" with imported fresh caviar at $5.50. If you wanted soup you had to look under "Potage" and find glazed bouillon soup at 90 cents. The next department under "poisson": (fish) was not inviting with frog's legs rissole provencale at $3.75. According to The Sporting News, Bevo regarfled this layout with ' the supercilious air of Sherlock Holmes plotting the obvious moves of Moriarity, and said, right in the teeth of a nasal-toned Provencal waiter:' "Let me have a sirloin medium rare." A plot by the Nats, says The Sporting News, to scuttle the Cleveland Indians next season could be read into their recent deal which brought Mickey Mc- Dermott from the Red Sox. The Nats now own three pitchers ^vho in 1953 beat Cleveland 14 times, lost $nly once: Porterfield (5-0), Shea (4-0) and McDermott (5-1).

Years ago, Cobb points out, there was no distinction between banjo hitters and home run sluggers -- all of them knew how to take care of themselves on the bases. As an example, he cites Sam (Wahoo) Crawford, who twice won the home run championship and, if he had played in the lively ball era, would have challenged Babe Ruth. Yet, Sartj also stole 367 bases in his major league career, including 41 in one season alone. The second installment of Cobb's story, as told to Lowell Reidenbaugh, appears in the Jan. 6 issue of The Sporting News. Senators Encouraged By Reports on Scull I The Washington Senators, reports The Sporting News, who were skeptical of the enthusiastic reports of Scout Joe Cambria on Angel Scull, their Negro outfielder in the Cuban Winter League, found encouragement when the Cleveland Indians offered to buy him for $40,000. Luna Shivers la . ' v; St. Louis Col# Guillermo (Memo) Luna, the little 23-year-old Pacific Coast lefthander bought by the Cardinals from San Diego suffered more from the cold than anything else in his first visit to St. Louis, reports The Sporting News. The Mexican, who had finished pitching winter ball in Cuba, was brought to St. Louis for a physical check-up as a precautionary measure. The Redbirds are committed to $90,000 in cash or players for his contract. Luna found during his visit to the club physician that (1) he's in good shape, (2) he's got one bad tooth and (3) that St. Louis isn't Mexico. ' The temperature was only eight degrees above zero. 7 Cobb Recalls Great Player* of His Day Major League players of today could be every bit gs good as they were 35 or 40 years ago, if they woifld only apply their talents and capitalize on their opportunities, Ty Cobb relates in The Sporting News. The Hall of Fame outfielder, who is regarded as the greatest player in the history of the game, makes a number of interesting observations in the story. He says the modern players Fuel For The . Hot Stove League The major leagues will have their first real policeman in many years, when Duke Markell reports to the Philadelphia .Phillies next spring, The Sporting News points out. The righthander who pitched for Syracuse in 1953, is a cop in New York during the off-season. ...

The Dodgers have scheduled 26, the Giants 19 and the Yankees 16. . . . Park rentals from pro football teams proved a big help this year to the treasuries of several major league clubs. Despite the - drop in attendance at Detroit, the Tigers broke even on the year as a result of the money they received from the football Lions for use of Briggs Stadium.

Lions Convert GaatofCs : Into Champions What does it take to build up a professional football championship team? Money might do it and beating the collegiate bushes for the best young talent helps, but the Detroit Lions have the simple answer: win. with castoffs! The National Football League title-holders, who copped their second straight championship by defeating the Cleveland Browns, are a team of castoffs, even including Coach Buddy Parker himself, The Sporting News points out. "Most of our players have come from other clubs," the calm Texan drawls. "What's so strange about that? After all, they do it somewhat in^baseball. Many fellows get their second wind after a trade. We happen to have been lucky that way." At least a dozen Lions saw service elsewhere before they were blended into Parker's championship machine. Among them are Earl (Jug) Girard (Green Bay Packers), Jim Martin (Cleveland), Bobby Layne (Chicago Bears), Jim Cain fnd Vince Banonis (Chicago Cardinals), Cloyce Box (Washington Redskins) and Sherman Gandee (Dallas Texans). Gandee was a Detroit discard who came back to the club and did a solid job as a regular end this year. Drive slow ana cift ' high to harvest the most grain in weedy fields. ELBcnoIr W. J.
