Local Sporting News.
There has been an unprecedented
demand for shot guns at the various
hardware stores of the city during the
day.
Sportsmen generally are preparing
to annihilate all the game in Summit
county Saturday. The short season,
during which they may shoot without
fear of arrest, opens Saturday.
Farmers bring in reports that quail
are to be found In abundance and that
rabbits are scampering about by the
hundreds waiting to be loaded down
with shot. Up to date very few ducks
have put in an appearance. They will
come down from the frozen north in n |
few weeks.
At one hardware store in Akron the
demand for ammunition has been SO
great that the stock was exhausted. A
telegraphic order was sent to Cleveland
Thursday night and the supply replen-
ished. For the benefit of those who are
unable to get away Saturday it may
be said that there are enough birds to
last for several weeks to come.
PREPARING FOR BUCHTEL.
Kenyon's foot ball practice yester-
day did not last very long or was 1t
very exhausting, says special from
Gambler. Some of the men were still
feeling the effects of last Saturdays
game so were not given a very hard
days work. All the first team with
the exception of Cromley were out and
INDUCED in the practice. Weaver
played in Cromleys place and most
of the time was spent in coaching him
for he is new behind the line and he
needs attention. His weight of . 1o5
pounds will help him on his bucks. He
is quick for big man and has plenty
of nerve and moreover he has good
wind, more than is usually the case
with heavy fat men. After the signal
and line up work the backs remained
on the field to practice kicking and
the rest ran the track Saturdays
game with Buchtel will take the place
, Of the one with Heidelberg, Manager
!, Wallace spent two days telegraphing
= to almost every college and university
!, in the State for game. even to Gin
1 cinnati. This fills the date and makes
!, Kenyon happy for while.
