Year of the albino wildlife noted in Southern Illinois
A Southern Illinois reader highlights several albino sightings including a white cottontail in Carbondale and a pure white bob white quail near Freeman Spur. Reports describe a white deer south of Carbondale and a generally strong goose season with high migrating Canada geese. A 300,000 plus flock is expected, and hunters from multiple states spend heavily here each season. An Illinois Waterfowl Guide is released for $2.00. The Detroit Tigers’ season is reviewed with attendance figures and league standing. Coach Cal Stoll is in his second year at Minnesota.
