Inc st. Louis County Game and
Fish Protective association at Thurs
days meeting, elected E. G.. Palmer,
president; DR.. Titcomb, first, c. R.
Heneage, second, and R. j. Mcleod,
third vice presidents; f. HI. White,
treasurer; A. S. Mahon, secretary and
Walter Ayers, Thomas Gibson, j. G.
Greene, T. b. Hawkes. and j. w.
Nelson, directors. Executive Agent
Guy Heneage reported that during
the short time he had represented the
association 1000 pounds of fish had
been seized. Most of the fish were
taken at Tower and this city, but one
batch was secured on the lake shore.
A special effort is being made to
enforce the law against fishing with
gill nets. State Game Warden Sam
Fullerton who was present at the
meeting of the association said:
"These associations are doing more
good for the cause than all the game
wardens. The state appropriation for
my department is only S15,O 900, and of
this $4,000 goes to the fish hatchery.
The remaining $4,000 does not go very
far when it is spread all over the
state of Minnesota. We cannot
thoroughly cover the field. We are
merely reaching the surface. am re-
ceiving complaints every day from
Itasca county especially, that moose
and deer are being slaughtered for the
Twin City and Duluth markets.
The Eveleth base ball club wired
the Ely boys Saturday at about noon,
that they would be up to play ball on
Sunday, and asked Capt. Cox to wire
them whether a return game would
be promised, Mr.. Cox answered saying
''come On'', not mentioning anything
about the return game, accidently,
but thinking the answer would cover
what was wanted. AT about 4 O'Clock
and after the boys had gone to the eX-
pense of getting out advertising
dodgers, telegram arrived saying
they would not come and attributed
the cause to the fact that the Ely
boys did not say anything about the
return game in their answer. This is
poor judgement on the part Of the
Eveleth management as it is code
of honor among base ball clubs TIC
play return games. This may not be
the case at Eveleth, but at Ely this
code goes. No doubt game will be
arranged later in the season.
The Two Harbors and Duluth Gun
clubs met on the field at Two Harbors
Sunday, to test their respective eyes
In the 25-bird shoot, Duluth won on a
score of 1876 to l73. The Duluth men
intimated that the Tower Gun club
by reason of their non-appearance
were afraid to meet them. Today the
| Tower boys challenged Duluth
shooters for 500 side, either 10 OF
Is men. This will effectuany close
up the mouths of the Duluth club as
they know very well they are not in it
with the range shooters. The Duluth
average of 10 and Clio will look sick
side of Tower 10 man shoot where the
average stood q and 9-10. Perhaps
the contest for the 500 may follow in
the near future.
The grand annual tournament OF
| the st. Paul Gun club takes place al
the State Fair grounds during the
week of the fair Sept. 9 to A. Foul
days Of shooting is promised from
Sept. 10 to ID, open to the world
The diamond badge state champion
ship contest will be one of the events
OF the third day (12th). This is the
event of the year, open to any resi-
dent member Of any gun club IN Mir
