Sporting Editor Cdll-DEAR SIR: II Won will
kindly allow me small space 10 your columns
would ike to say few words In reference to an
article which appeared In an evening paper of
recent date Charging me win being oiled " at
a touIlniuent at the Olympic Club two years ago.
WIS., vac that from what have been told
sinces ent believe that oil was placed on
my back while being rubbed down. 1his was
done, however (and could be very easily done),
without my knowledge or consent, but as to my
BODY being creased all over know that is un.
true, and from the fact that several prominent
gentlemen were present Willie was being rubbed
down, must have been impossible and does not
need a denial The referee examined me
thoroughly all over and failed TO find any trace
OF oil. Now, do not only court but ask an iu-
vesiigation OF the fact, and think by that that
can prove TO the satisfaction OF every one that
my statement as above Is correct. Very re-
speeluliy, GUS UNGERMAN.

some of the Deputy Fish and Game Com

the wharf In the hope that the consignees
would send for them. The deputies made a
mistake in having interfered with the skins
until they got into the possession of the
Is question now how long the
skins will remain on the wharf and
who Will be the first party to remove them.
1t would not be difficult matter for the
deputies to hunt up the man who had
bought the hides from the person who
killed the game. The purchaser of the
skins could be punished, and the lesson
might serve In great measure in stoppin
