Baltimore, Jan. 23—Mrs. John P. Doyle, well known Baltimorean and a sports woman and expert shot of note, has been appointed United States deputy game warden, with country-wide jurisdiction.
She will leave this week for a ducking trip on Currituck Sound, North Carolina, where she will possess full authority to enforce the migratory game laws and make arrests for violations.
Mrs. Doyle is the first woman in the country to be given this rank for independent work, the only other woman filling a post of this kind being the wife of a deputy. Symbolizing her authority is a commission issued by Henry C. Wallace, secretary of agriculture, and a deputy’s badge.
Both have been forwarded to Mrs. Doyle by W.C. Henderson, acting chief of the Bureau of Biological Survey.
The present appointment, officials of the Maryland State Game Commission said, is due to her interest in game conservation and her well known ability as a huntress. Mrs. Doyle refused to comment on her new position and referred all questioners to the game authority.
