: - It’s quite a story but I have to eut it that evening, I corralled the two of them H.I. and G.W. on a point on the Pisquid River. They were shooting cranes (Great Blue Herons). Both were fined for this offense and their shotguns ere ordered confiscated. G.W.’s as a twist barrel Ithica valued at $160.00. The guns were dis- posed of in Wolfville, N.S. Need- less to say G.W. was dethroned as the King of black duck poach- ers and never again attempted regaining the honour. CLEANED HIM OUT

I let H.J. into one office and

London has -gone out of his way to charm the local people, appearing at schools and hand-

ences. British reporters say this is a reversal of form for London, who is known back home as an angry young man. Pérhaps it is the warm glow induced by ea guarantee of $60,000 plus ex- penses that may run as high as $15,000, biggest purse ever for the 24-year-old boxer. CHAMP’S SHARE

Cus D’Amato, the champion’s manager, is getting 60 per cent of the net gate (no guarantee) ‘and all of.the television money, estimated between $175,000 and $200,000. From that total, London gets his $60,000 plus expenses.
