GAME AND FISH.
Good Work Accomplished by Sports
men -Gane WardenS.

The spOrtsmen who met last Monday in the
ODD Fellows building TO suggest game and
fish laws for the good of the country made one
excellent recommendation which VIII do more
to protect game and fish than all that has been
done up 10 The present.
The suggestion which was unanimously
approved of was that the Supervisors Of each
county of the State appoint game warden,
whose duty ii Will be TO patrol the county and
arrest all men, young or old, found in the act
of fransgressing the game and fish laws.
This is just exactly what THE CALL has been
advocating for many months ana IL IS now
pleased 10 say iha the State spoftsmen nave
approved so empndticaly OF the scheme, which
is bound 10 succeed. as it is the only feasible
means by which SportSmen can nope LOT Inc
protection of the States game and hSE.
The Fish Commissioners are supposed to look
after the tTausgrr sSorS OF the n>n anu game
laws, but time baS proven beyond argument
they have done nothing IN that direction. Ihe
appropriation which they have received from
the State is b ing expended entirely on the hsh
hatcheries ana the distribution of fishes.
As time and again stated in The CALL what
IS the good Of stOc ing streams If p0acheTS are
allowed TO slaughter the fishes I all seasons or
the year? Now, so far as stocking rivers and
streams is concerned the question anglers aud
sporISmen might ask themselves Is this: Ii The
Supervisors do not appoint keepers 10 protect
the fishes of The streams and lakes, what Is lie
good of a fish commission? The same question

BATTLE BALL.
A New Athletic Game Which Is Very

A new game, which in course OF time will be
taken up by the athletes Of this city, is now
very popular In New Yor9.
1t is called "battle-ball," and combines some
OF The features of bowling, baseball, cricket,

indoors or outdoors and by either sex. In Har-

'After considerable experimenting. it has
seemed to me that the new game which have

OF these requisites and essentials better than
any game 10 which my attention has ever been
called. 1t Is a game which embraces at once
some OF the features of bowling. baseball,
cricket, f0OIbai, handball and tennis.
The apparatus consists Of lea her ball nine
inches in diameter, filled With felt or hair
weighing two pounds, and six fars of two or
three pound Indian clubs for goal posts. To
this equipme nj Two nets for the backstOps may
be added where IL is necessary 10 protect the
apparatus or to save time running after The
ball When playing out OF doors wooden
wickets, about three fe-t long and one inch
in diameter, may be stuck In the ground in
place OF Indian clubs.
1.-The clubs are set up In pairs. eighteen
inches apart. one pair in the middle OF the
court. and the other pairs a yard II ON the sides
the backstop nets should be at least three
feet behind the back lines OF the diagram. over
each back line and across the middle of the
neId, Indicated In tie accompanying diagram
by dotted lines, cords are suspended seven feet
from the ground. The ground or floor lines can
be marked off rs In tennis. Any width can be
allowed to the field, but the length should be
twice the width. The diagram gives 25x50
feet dimensions, which are suited o the Henen-
wav gymnasium.
The game Is played as follows: Each team
takes an end OF The field and tOsses for choice
Of ball. The members dispose themselves as
they like. One member. preferably one of the
forward line, tosses he ball toward the other
goal line, and the other fellows try to stop and
return ii. Neither side may cross the middle
line, on penalty of foul. TIE ball must be
thrown under the suspended cords, and any
failure to do so Is foul. The ball may be
thrown or kicked, and while In possession Of
side may be passed among themselves.
Points are scored as follows: Putting the
ball through pair OF opposing goal posts
counts 10. knocking down one goal post 5,
simply forcing the ball back OF the line 3. 4 foul
by stepping over the middle line counts for
the opponents, foul by throwing the Dall over
the cords for the opponents.
"By passing the ball among themselves and
suddenly throwing II from an unexpected quar-
ter there are chances for team play, strategy
and generalship. The game may be Played on

Judges are. Unnecessary, one at each back line.
and one. VINO may be referee or umpire, at

announcer OF the progress OF ibe game.

feet for zach player. while lawn ennis requires
25O0 feet for each player, football 6764 feet
aud baseball 10000 feet"
