FISHERY PROT EcTIoN SERVICE


OTTAWA, Ont. Feb. 17.-The fishery
protection service was troubled with
many evasions of the law by licensed
vessels flying the Stars and Stripes

vessels was to buy supplies and
bait in port, as they were enti.
tied to do, and when they were
outside the three-mile limit to
transfer them to unlicensed United
States vessels. A clause is to be added
to the modus vivendi license making
such practices an offense against the
Canadian fishery laws and rendering
the offender liable have HIS vessel con,
fiscated by the Dominion government

NATIONAL LEAGUE.

While the Baltimores are being pre-
vented from playing the games with
Philadelphia, the Clevelands are win
ming and creeping toward the front.
The latter will go to first place today If
they win and Baltimore loses, or If
they do not play and Baltimore drops
a game. The Colts. who have jumped
around oftener than any club In the
league, won yesterday and go up ahead
of the Pirates and the Trolley Dodgers.
Brooklyn tied Boston in the ninth in
ming on errors of Harrington and Stiv-
etts and hits of Burrill and Jones. With
men on second and third and one out
Corcoran and La Chance failed to aid
the scoring. Boston won out In this
inning on hits of Lowe. Hamilton and
Bannon. Except Harrington, the work
of the infielders of both sides was su-
perb. Cleveland outplayed Louisville
at every point. Burkett picked up
Weidman and shook him like rat be-
cause he called him out at third. The
Colts batted Brownie" Foreman's
Pittsburg curves as they pleased and
won in the same manner. Dwyer
pitched splendidly for Cincinnati, and
at no time We're the Browns in the
game. Donohue was not hit hard, but
his support was wretched.
