According to the law passed BY the last
legislature duck hunting must stop Janu-
AIRY /. There is a great deaf OF grumbling
about this provision OF the law, and il
would not surprise me IL Ii became a dead
letter. When / was on WILDLY island a
few weeks ago, ] found that tho hunters
there were opposed To IL. Those who favor
il are few and If the story in current cir
calation as TO how such a clause came 10
be incorporated in the law Is true it should
be repealed By the next legislature.
The Seattle Rod and Gun Club is seri-
oGsly considering the question Of stocking
the White river valley with Bob White
quail. A special meeting will be called
soon to discuss the matter. II 1t is done.
hunters viii be requested 70 leave the birds
alone until they have increased in num-
bers sufficiently TO save them from being
extermInated. Arrangements are being
made for "a live bird shoot at West Seattle
on New Years day.

Price are said 10 have killed Iae ducks a
large number OF them mallards. AZ the
Nesqually preserve one day last week. IL

Of this, he will have something to say
about wholesale slaughter Of game.
Tom O'Leary. one Of the best known and
most successful hunters on WILDLY Island
was in the city Saturday.
The result of the McCoy-Creedon fight
was not a surprise, but Il has had the eff
feet OF advancing Mccoy TO an unexpect u
degree In the estimation OF ''istic' ex-
perts. Prior 70 The fight there were many
who said that they believed Mccoy WAS
assuming too much in thinking that he
was sure wianer'' over the aggressive
stop his upward career. With the excep-
ton Of Fitzsimmons. there is no one at
present IL the inifiieweight class who Is
looked upon as McCoy's equal II would
he strange coincidence II Mccoy should
eventually become rhe heavyweight cham
pion OF the world in the same way tina.
Fitzsimmons did. Fitxsimmons is getting
along in years from q pugtiistIc stand
point. and cannot hope &c keep at the top
much longer.

the is9-pounf men, unless there Is some
ere In this section who Is anxious TO
meet him Jack Green is expected TO re-
turn to Seattle In few days from Vie
torfa, where he has scored two
victories | have hem told but I
90 not pretend 20 say whether there Is
truth in IL. that Green is DESTROYS Of meet
ing Case again IN = finish night This
would suit Case, and l sm inclined 20
think he would agree 10 stop Green in Ten
rounds. PEE BEE.
