Watching Game
Laws.
Concurrent Seasons Are
Suggested.
Akron Gun Club Shoots
Today.
Wittmer Wants Another Match
With jenkins.

Many local sportsmen who have
carefully studied the new game laws,
which will go before the next Legisla-
ture for action, are confident that their
application will protect game much
more thoroughly than any set Of laws
for a like purpose which Ohio has ever
had.
Though seemingly voluminous, they
are found to be very concise and
compact when the great number of
matters they cover, is considered.
"What would like to see in the way
of game laws" said a local nimrod,
Tuesday, 'is law that will provide an
open season and closed season for all
game. Then the game wardens will
know when they see a man with a
gun over his shoulder, whether or no
he is on an Illegal errand.
IF the hunting season is closed, the
mans actions may be regarded with
suspicion, and if he has game in his
possession, no tecbnicality Will clear
him. With the present system of
game laws, and with those proposed,
n man may go on an illegal hunting
trip, and yet, owing to the fact that
a confusion of dates for bunting differ
ent kinds of game exists, he may es'
cape detection If not caught actually
red handed. If the seasons, even If
short, were to run concurrently, more
violators of the game laws could be
caught by the wardens, and game be
protected in more thorough manner
than is possible with any patchwork
system such as has been and will be
established"

tically unconquerable at catch-as-catcl
can wrestling, but he believes he cai
