President Ban Johnson OF the American
League was a St Louis visitor yesterday.

Stevens Point, Wis, the center of the great

interest the termination of the seven-year total
closure period, which will end in September. v
The purpose of the law has been only partially
realized as the cold winters, since it went into
effect have carried off thousands Of these birds.
Last winter, however, was very mild and they
increased enormously. During the past fall 1T
unusual thing to see quail In the garden
thickets in many Of the towns in this part Of the
state, so tame have they become through the
protection Of the law.
There are Indications that the number of quail
has passed far beyond the supply of food OH
which they thrive, and even If the present
winter is mild one, thousands of them are
SIRE to die from lack Of food There Is general
belief that this will be very severe winter, and
a movement is on foot among sportsmen to have
a general understanding with game wardens,
that in this prediction proves true they will
be permitted to bag some Of the game before
the winter does its deadly work.

NILSSON WILL ENTER.
Milwaukee Men Plan Big Skating
Tournament to Be Held
During January.

1t is probable that big tournament for
ice skaters will be held at the Palace rink
in Milwaukee some time during January,
open to the best skaters in the west. Ed
Wallschlaeger, the old ball-player and
skater, has taken the management Of the
rink and is making arrangements for the
tourney.
1t is proposed to invite such skaters
as John Nilsson. John Davidson, Orval
Thompson, Norval Baptie and the Mum
roe boys of Superior to compete in the
event, and if possible, arrange for the
one-mile championship race Of the west.
Nilsson and the Baptie have agreed to
enter if the inducements are sufficient,
and the chances are that they will be.
In addition to the open races there will
be events from half a mile up to five
miles for city and state championships,
similar to those held last season at Mil
waukee, when John G.. Sundin managed
the rink. There are several fast men in
and all Of them have signified
their intention of beginning training at
once for the events.
