• ,One of the most interesting developments
Caadian sport. has known in the )ast feta
years is Little League baseball, now a coapt
to coast affair, and growing tremendously
every year.
Pew civic enterprises have made a more
irermanent contribution to tite tomintinity.
L'tuongll careful tenoning and able leadership this worth-
while activity has been made available to thousands of boys and
girls alLpvcr North America. Tailored 'to meet •the special nets
of boys in the 8 to 12 age group, Little League basshall has emin,'i
widespread popularity.
Under the leadership of various civic organizations and public-
spirited citizens, teams have been organized, equipment purchased,
and in some cases special regulation size Little League narks
'Con strlugtad.
-
Only about 4 years 'ago there were 94 Little League leagues
of from 4 to 6 teams in existence. Today there ate 1788 registered
Little Leagues comprising 7,538 teams in the United States, its
possessions and Canada. Approximately, 150,000 players are register-
ed from the ages of 12 down,
In Canada, there are 6 Leagues in the Province of Quebec; 4
on the Island of Montreal, 1. in St. Johns and 1 in St. Eustaehe..
The Province of Manitoba has 25 full-fledged Little Leagues
operating and. British Columbia has 10.
Progress has been made in Little League baseball in New.
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, There are leagues in Moncton, Saint
fohn, Halifax and Sydney. There are fullyequipped regulation Little
' League Parks in Manitoba and British Columbia. These add
color, incentive and pride. Williamsport, Pa., with 'a population of
50,000 has fifteen fully equippcd.Little League baseball parks,
It is estimated that over 20,00000 people
League baseball thisa op witnessed Little
year in. the:iknited States and Canada. There
were 7,000 games going every week,and as the season is 10 weeks
long this'would give you 70,000 games played per season.
The most significant thing about Little League is the way it
gets these boys in their formative years, giving them a chance to
learn good sportsmanship, team play and proper submission to
constituted authority, It gives the boys something constructive to
do. Itgives them a standing among their own age group and gives
thenea place in the community. It helps the boys overcome self-
consciousness. Among the important lessons it teaches are good'
sportamaaahip, fair pigy, team play, and how to get along with
others. On top of this, it provides wholesome recreational activity

Y A SlXglTc
Prom time to time this col-
umn has seen fit to take a mild
earn or two at the type of
'sportsman" who buys or bor-
rows a gun and some ammuni-
tion, gets a hinting licence and
then goes out and bangs away at
anything that happens to be
moving across the landscape.
(Sometimes be doesn't even
bother to see if ft moves.)
e e s
Occasionally we have received
criticism fox such articles from
lelkr who say that juste because
we personally lack the guts to
lace a ferocious deer or duck,
we shouldn't poke fun a those
who have. Well, here's what the
December 8th issue of NEWS -
WEEK had to say about the kind
of hunting referred to, not so
much from the standpoint of
poor sportsmanship, but rather
-from that of the senseless human
slaughter which takes, place each
year. Here it is, as it appeared
under the heading "FOR
SPORT'S SAKE."
e . e
The deer hunter claims that
editorial write, s and cartoonists
lC
exaggerate his accident record
rlth other people's .isdoings.
Of 1,105 hunting mishaps of all
sorts reported k, the National
Rifle Asfociation last year, for
example, rabbit hunters out -
blundered deer hunte by 268
to 189. (Rifle hunters also like
to point out that shotgun users'
accidents outnumbered theirs by
627 to 309.)
e :
'
There were sterner statistics,
however, that still made • the
Alnerican l ser -hunting season
look like the most macabrt spot
on the ,sporting calendar last
week.
A check of just five states —
Maine, Cololr:do, Michigan, Wis-
consin, and New York—found 45
already dead. -faino reached the
conclusion of another long seas-
on Oct. 21 through Nov 30 with
16 dead and 45 others shot, which
compares - grimly with the 15
deaths and 53 woundings that
occurred du-ing last year's rec-
ord deer 'till of 41,730. A man
cutting underbrush was wounded
three times (and mortally) by

The brief interval of ' Wiseon
•sin's seven-day season produced
eight killings. With four days of
its fift"as.'-day season left, Michi-
gan deported nine dead s nd 30
others shot., Colorado noted one
encouraging point on it: list of
six gunshot "victims: None had
been mistaken for '.a, deer. New
York had knocked off six deer
stalkers in much less time and
had until Dec. 5 to raise the
count.

• Comparison: Yet to come were
such other ordeals as a two week
stand in Pennsylvania with 000,-
000 licensed hunters—a density
which last year killed 72,534
deer and eight human beings—
and a six-day session in Mass-
achusetts, which slew only 3,428
deer a yLar ago but ,obliterated
eight hunters. If anything, the
chances•sc.emed morbidly certain
that deer hunters would outdo
the 48 fatalities scored against
them—compared with 33 for rab-
bit hunters and a mere 6 for
pheasant hunters — in the 198
hunting deaths reported in 1951.
Experts still believed that the
:core could be reduced by edu-
cation, Lew 1. ws, and stiffer pen-
alties. In Coloradc—where hunt-
ers last year killed 75,000 deer,
10,330 elk, and 530 bear wit' the
loss of only three lives—a hunt-
ing "college" was conducted this
year by The Denver Post, the
University of Denver, and the
state's fish and game department.
In Maine The Portland Sunday
Telegram in an editorial titled
"Let's Take Their Guns Away,"
suggested'a Taw that would pro-
hibit huntirig with firearms by
'anyone under age 18,
* 5
A more widespread Wee: stir-
• fer penalties f o r accidental
shootings. The fatal shooting of
a hunter in WicecLsin is now
considered negligent homicide—
but in Vermont there is still no
law that 'von requires hunters,
doctors; 'or ' hospitals to report
such accidents. -For the most
part, The Boston Herald pointed
out last week, a 1 unter can kill
another man and expect othing
more severe than a.fine of $100
or less` r - .: e ,
Under .the consequent "dis-
graceful" conditions, The Port-
land Sunday Telegram remark-
ed: "We'll breathe more easily
with General Eisenhowe: i Kor-
ea than we would if he came to
Maine on a hunting trip. He'll
be safer there.iP
*
And with the end of that
NEWSWEEK qu tation, we rest
our case. Undoubtedly it was a
sore financial blow to ti.e North-
ern tourist trad_ when the foot-
and-mouth scare kept so many
Yankee deer hunters from com-
ing here this Autumn. But, just
as certainly, their absence meant
that quite a few Canadian citi-
zens are still in the land of the
living wl:o oflierwise would by
novo have been under the sod.

HONEY DETECTIVE
In Natural History magazine,
Edgar Monsanto Queeny, writes
of the "greater honey guide," a
bird that seeks human help in
its quest for food. This Is not
just another case ofa pet beg-
ging for food or an adventure -
loving animal pestering its mas-
ter to take it bunting. The great-
er honey guide makes man work
• for it. The bird spots 8 tree-
trunk that contains a bee's nest,
but by itself cannot extract the
honeycomb. Knowing that a
Wanderobo, a native of its East
African habitat, will reward it
with offerings froth the raided.
nest, the honey guide leads Him
to the tree. The Wanderobo ob-
ligates because he and his tribe
rely on Wild honeys for their
:meets:
"SEASICK" L'1SIl
Marine life, as well as life on
land, has its epidemics. • The
classic example is the tile fish.
which was once abundant off New
York but which died by the mil-
lions in 1882. Not until 1892 was
the tile fish caught again for
the market. Florida's "red tide"
which dest'r'oyed fish on the
west coast a few years'ago was
traced to a sudden "blooming"
of poisonous microscopic plants,
Epidemic diseases have also de-
stroyed, clam s, herring and
many other forms of marine life,
Some Fingers Who
Fooled. The World
During the lifetime of the
French artist ,Corot, no less than
37,000 'paintings attributed to
him were MaInbered in Alnerica
—more than he could have exe-
pitted in a century of continuous
work.
The reason was that many tal-
ented artists, rather than esta-
blish a name in their own right,
had found it ,easier and More
profitable to forge copies of the
master. Many of them were re-
markably successful in hood
winking the "experts."
There is nothing new In the
practice. It probably 'began when
t h e ancient Romans forged
"Greek" statues, and has been
going on ever since, A sixteenth-
century German artist named
Durer once sued an Italian by
the Hartle of Mare Antonio for
forging copies of his engravings.
Today, the Antonio forgeries
have become so valuable that
there are' forgeries of the for-
geries.
A young Flemish painter nam-
ed David Teniers once made a
practice of forging Titian. La-
ter, lie himself became a famous
Painter, and in turn one of the
favourite subjects of forgers.
The sante can be said of the
great Michelangelo. As a young
man he made money by making
"antique" statues and burying
them among the ruins of Rome,
periodically "discovering" them
and selling them at a handsome
price.
It was once said by a famous
art expert that the artist Rem-
brandt in his lifetime had painted
700 canvases, of which 10,000
were in America.
But this same expert was the
victim of one of the cleverest
forgeries. As the director of an
art museum in Berlin, he bought
a terra-cotta bust supposedly by
Leonardo da Vinci, The bust was
Frigid . Frieze—Frozen rime, -de-
posited by super -cooled fog, re-
cently embroidered buildings,
trees and statues in Stockholm,
Sweden. This sculpture, "Idyll,"
by 'Lhtistian Ericksson, is an
idyllic example of the beauty
produced by the rare meteoro-
-- logical phenomenon.
hailed as a great find, and ex-
perts from all over Europe came
to admire the work.
Some time later a junior em-
ployee at the museum discovered
strips of newspaper mixed with
the supposed sixteenth -century
terra-cotta, and exposed the bust
as a fraud.
It is mistakes like these that
often betray the forgers. When
an "old", painting is discovered
nowadays, experts examine the
paints, the canvas, even the
wood and nails of the frame, be-
fore they will vouch for its age.
With all the aids to modern
detection, it is rare indeed that
a forgery passes the tests.
One man who successfully de-
ceived the experts was an Italian
named Alceo Dossena. For some
years he worked as an art re-
storer, learning the techniques
of the old maters and how to
imitate the changes brought about
by time. When he found no em-
ployment as a restorer, he made
a living carrying out the orders
of are dealers. Ile never con-
sciously committed fraud, being
told simply to produce works for
churches in the styles .of certain
old masters.
He received an annual salary
of about $2000, while his unscru-
pulous einployers made a for-
tune from his works, One paint-
ing alone was sold to an Ameri-
can museum for about $160,000.
The deception came to light
players for back payments of his
only when Dossena sued his em -
salary. He never knew of the
success of his work until he read
of it in the newspapers.
The subsequent trial exoner-
ated hien from blame, but the
"priceless" paintings he execut-
ed were at once discarded, and
are now almost worthless. -

EASY FISHING
Fishermen along the coast
of Alabama say that a "jubilee"
occurs when fish try to escape
some unusual changes in bay
water, where salt water from the
Gulf and fresh water from a
river meet.
When this happens, fish come
up into shallow water, and resi-
dents rush out to scoop them up
with their hands, nets, or any-
thing available. One , frsherman
reports catching 75 flounders
during a jubilee this past sum-
mer while others scooped up
baskets full of crab and shrimp
along a mile of beach.
