English Hunters Of Old Were Cruel Lot For Laughs
English hunters of old tied an owl to a duck’s back to torment it during water hunts, a practice described by Joseph Strutt in 1800s writings. The piece recalls royal hunting rules, evolving terms for game, and the historical shift from royal privilege to common sport. It also notes Lake Travis fishing plans with a statewide biologist monitoring fish runs for the Highland Lakes.

Spring camp briefs hint at DiMaggio form and trades
In Miami and Florida spring camps, Joe DiMaggio bolsters the Yankees with a three homer effort in two days, hinting at a strong opening lineup on April 19. Bucky Harris rebuffs a Scarborough trade bid, demanding four players. Del Crandall sprains an ankle with Boston facing the Red Sox, while Phillies fear Russ Meyer’s elbow injury may end his career. Henry Thompson suffers a sprained ankle for the Giants, and Ted Gray opens as Tigers' starter in Florida. Henry Mack praises Todd Davis as the Athletics’ likely No.1 utility infielder. Cubs and Pirates savor a cautious early meeting as minor-league play continues. Mierkowicz shines for the Cardinals in St Louis, and Bob Lemon shows dual prowess for Cleveland. Luke Appling and the White Sox fall to the Indians in extra innings, while Bruce Edwards’ bat powers Brooklyn’s offense in a high-scoring win. Fort Worth farmhands absorb Dodgers’ heavy hitting with multiple homers.
