Collins, born in Scranton, Pa., began his professional baseball careerwith Scranton in the Penn- sylvania State League in 1939. He worked his way through the min- ors to Newark of the Interna- tional League and Kansas City of the _American Association.
His first year with the Y-ank- ees was 1948 a pinch hitter. He was sent to Kansas City in 1949 and brought back to the Yankees to stay. He played in seven world series, batting only .163 but hitting four home runs.

Halifax appeared to a ready mar- ket for all the birds Island hun- ters bagged. A farmer in the Malpeque district shot enough bran-t one spring to pay for a binder approximately one hun- dred and fifty dollars worth. How long would our waterfowl last if spring shooting was again lega. We have twenty hunters today for every one we had prior to 1917 and the are armed with the latest in automatic and repeating shotguns loaded with the latest in long range shells. Only a minority of shooters in the early nineteen hundreds possessed breech loaders and black powder shells. Prior to 1914 only a very few owned breech loaders and most all of my acquaintances used muzzle loaders.
Last spring (1957) spring goose shooting was rampant. Farmers of the Ist Great War have told me that some mornings the bombardment sounded like Vimy Ridge on April 9th, 1917. ' Our Battery was behind Thelus that morning and the din was so great one couldn't hear a spoken word unless it was shouted into his ear. I hear by the grape- vine that some poachers have their equipment in readiness and their blinds built. Why shouldn’t they? The had nothing _to worry about last\'spI‘ing and by the way

game warden was dispensed with and never replaced. This action left Queens County wide open.

That leaves one lone Provincial game warden marooned in the wilds of West Prince. I have

been asked on 1 number of oc- casions liow iiiaiiy convictions for spring shooting were secured last spring. Speaking for my'- self I never read or heard of a single on and I am in a position to know.
HARD TO CATCH
There has plways been a cer- tain amount of spring shooting and there always will be but when poachers get so bold they‘ll set out a ‘rig’ and shoot for hours
at a stretch the element of fear‘
is not involved. When fear of ap- prehension and punishment is present its a case of shoot and run. Catching poachers in the act is not so simple as it may appear and this pertains particularly to spring shooting. Its during the pairing off and mating period and gunshots sound very much out of place and did, in the past at least, cause those who heard them to make a mental note of the occurrence with an inward feeling of resentment toward the gunner responsible for the shoot- ing. The spring poacher was aware of this and took every pre- caution at least they used to.
In checking back over my re-1 cords I find that fourteen con-
victions for spring shooting was the most secured in any one sea- son. The number gradually taper- ed off as poachers found out the hard way that losing ones gun combined with a fine was some- thing that wasn’t shrugged off
.;'too easily. In 1956 I had one con-
vention for spring shooting. This was_ a case involving the hunting of brant in .the Souris area. It developed into quite a Court Case. There were crows mixed in with the brant and the De- fendant contended he was hunt- ing orows for bounty. He was convicted as charged with a fine and costs of approximately thirty dollars and his shotgun was ordered confiscated. amazing how quickly poachers forget once the heat is off.
A week or so ago I chuckled out loud when I read the morning paper. On the front page was.an announcement we were going to get a new Game Act. This may sound encouraging at first glance but a question naturally arises What‘was wrong with the old Game Act? It had enough teeth in it to keep three game wardens busy for years.
