Mr.. Phelps drew up the indianapolis agree

special from Louisville says that Mr..

Laws Governing Game Fish Explained d
by Secretary w. p. Young.
The approaching opening of, what has
been heretofore regarded as the spring fish
ing season for the kingiy bass and other
game fish is causing many thrills of expec-
tation to pleasantly agitate the hearts of
anglers. 1t will be well, however, for
those who are indulging in such emotions
to listen to what Secretary Treasurer w.
Pope Young of the District of Columbia
Game and Fish Protective Association has
to say. t-
'In order that anglers generally may
avoid trouble said DIR. Young to a Star
reporter this morning, ''it would be ad-
visable for them to acquaint themselves
with the laws that govern game fish in this
vicinity. In the District of Columbia it is
Illegal to catch any game fish, such as
bass and crappie, from April 1 to June 1,
and neither bass nor crappie, although
caught elsewhere, may be legally brought
into the District in the two months of April
and May. The close season for bass and
other game fishes for the Virginia portion
of the Shenandoah and it's tributaries is
from April l to May 10, while the general
state law of Virginia prohibits bass fishing
from May 10 to July I. For Maryland, SO
far the Potomac river is concerned the
close season begins April 15 and closes
June 1. while the c,ose season for the Po-
tomac in West Virginia extends from April

BLANKED YALE EIGHT TIMES.
Georgetown Bunched Hits and Ran
Bases Better.


The sturdy bunch of athletes, represent
ing Yale in the base ball world returned
from the south yesterday and once more
tried to win a ball from the Georgetown
boys. The case was hopeless from the
start, the wearers of the blue and gray GO
ing to the front in the fourth inning and
were never headed, finally winning by the
score of to 2.
Pitchers White and Robertson did we'll for
their respective teams, but that little trick
winner-bunching hits-again came to the
front for the Georgetown team, and another
wel-earned victory was theirs.
Another very noticeable point in the play
OF the Georgetown men was their speed on
the bases, having but four men left while
the visitors had 13 of their team die on one
of the three sacks. Yale pulled off their
two runs in one inning the sixth, when De
Saulles was passed to first and Quimby ham
mered out siZZer to deep center that ena-
pied both runners to cross the plate before
being recovered. This proved to be Yale's
inaugural and dying effort goose eggs com
ing their way for the other eight innings.

Second Day of the Spring Meeting at
BenninE.
The second day of the fourth spring
meeting of the Washington Jockey Club
was much better attended, quite a good
sized crowd witnessing the sport at the
Benning track yesterday, Lillian Russell
and Edna Wallace Hopper being among
the many ladies present. The weather was
fine, as was the track, and while the fields
We're small the racing was interesting and
speculation heavy. But one. favorite,
Spurs, finished first, but the other
winners were well backed. Odom and
Mitchell each rode two winners.
Jockey j. Slack was warned against re-
peating the ride he made on Kilarma in the
last race.
The train leaving the track after the
races was delayed about half an hour be-
cause of an accident, one of the forward
cars being somewhat wrecked in starting
up just before reaching the tunnel. One
man had his hand slightly cut, and it be-
came necessary to sidetrack the broken
car. The damage was apparently caused
by too sudden starting Off the train after
some men attempting to steal ride had
been put off.
