Don’t Keep the 1
Little Dea(e)rs
AUSTIN, May 16 <UP)-<}amc
officials have issued an appeal to
well-meaning Texans, not to adopt
wild animals, especially fawn dser.
The Game, Fish and Oyster
Commission said that “public in-
terest and personal fancy with re-
paid to .wild birds and animals
take curious turns now and then.’’
W. C. Glazener, director of wild-
life restoration, said that with,
some people wildness of native
species “apparently is an urgent
challenge to tame and to domesti-
cate, with little regard for the ef-
fects on the objects of their atten-
tion.”
In Texas, he added, the tendency
has had particular application to
deer.
He said that sympathetic Texans
mistake fawns as bdlng “deserted,”
and many persons make applica-
tions for permits to keep fawn deer
in captivity.
However, Glazener said, later on
there are many requests for the
commission “to come out and pick
up pets that have become nuis-
ances or to furnish a mate for a
‘lonesome’ buck or doe.”
“Most pet deer,” he added, “de-
" -Velop tastes for expensive orna-
mental shrubs and yard flowers,
including those on neighboring
premises. This nuisance frequently
leads to broken friendships, some
of long standing, and to prolonged
dissatisfaction thereafter.”

It was •* blue Monday in the
Texas League for the cunning Fort
Worth Cats and rampaging Okla-
homa City Indians, but a day for
rejoicing for the anemic Shreve-
port Sports.
In the finale of a three-game
series last night, the Sports, who
had lost eight games in a row,
cracked Oklahoma City’s winning
streak at 11 straight, beating the
Indians, 12 to 10.
The sixth-place San Antonib
Missions handed the front-running
Cats their first loss in 10 games,
5 to 2, on Eddie Albrecht’s nifty
three-hit pitching.

In the final game of the night,
the Beaumont Roughnecks got
tough with Tulsa, turning back the

• Shreveport took an 8-4 lead over
Oklahoma City in the first two
innings, but actually it was the
two-run homers of Jim Halkard
and Bill White that enabled the
Sports to chorus “Oh, Happy Day ”
They came in the fourth and sixth
innings, respectively, and kept the
Sports ahead of the Indians, who
picked up six runs midway in the
game.
Fort Worth got off to a 2-0 lead
but San Antonio moved ahead in
the seventh and scared one run
in the final two innings to widen
their margin. A
Wayne McLeland pitched for the
first eight innings for the Esgles
but was removed for newcomer
Bob Buhl, who got credit for the
win.
Beaumont put on a five-run
rally in the sixth to sew up the
Roughnecks’ game with Tulsa. Gil
