THE GUN.
Line Shots at Duck Shooting Clubs.
A Noted Sportsman Passes Away.

War clouds hover over the Suisun marshes.
The sportsmen OF Solano County have declared
war against the gun clubs that claim title to
almost all of the best shooting grounds of the
overlooked lands that lie between Goodyear
Station and the town of SuisuD.
The members Of said gun clubs are, accord

who follow out the true ethics OF sportsman.
ship, while on The other hand the sportsman
who is not a m mber OF gun club and who is
opposed to game preserves such as those OF the
Suisun marshes is, in the eyes OF the ''pre.
server" pot-hunter.
Whether the gun clubs now located on the
sWamps have perfect right according to law
to prevent outsiders from entering upon the
property they contend Is theirs by lease is a
question which Will be decided in the near
future.
Regarding true sporl smanship THE CALL
mas already stated that the oeStroyers of the
game which frequent the marshes curing the
winter season are members OF gun ciuDs and

The gun clubs are composed of wealthy men
who look forward only TO their own personal
enjoyment.
Each year just prior to inauguration of the
game-shooting season, keepers are hired to
look alter the clubs interests which means in
nutshell that only club members will have

The Man Who rloorod Jim Corbett.

George Miehling. wrestling instructor of
the Olympic club, San Francisco, tells a
good story about jim Corbett to The Chron-
icle. When Gentleman James was teach
ing the manly art at the Olympic club
rooms he aspired to become wrestler, too,
and really did become quite proficient at
the game. One day in an unhappy moment
of overconfidence he invited Parson Davies
to accompany him to the club and observe
how artistically he could put Miehling on
his back. Davies wanted to see some fun
and told Miehling what Corbett was up to.
The professor winked his other eye and
said he would put James down without
using his hands on him. He kept his word
too, much to the chagrin of the boxer, and
the trick was performed by means of Mich
ling's clever leg lock. While Corbett was
lying hclplessly pinned to the floor Mich
ling had the audacity TO pull the nose and
playfnlly slap the face of the man who was
destined to dethrone the great John L.,
and Jimmy could not prevent It When
they got up, Corbett offered the wrestler $50
in cash if he would Just put on the gloves
for two minutes" but the professor said lie
only played at his own game and declined
the offer with profuse thanks.
