BUTLER WAS EASY.
Little interest was taken in the game be-
tween Y. NJ. c. A. and Butler, which was
won by Y. NJ c. A. by a score of 43 to 10.
Butler was given a handicap of sixteen
points and only scored three points dur
ing the entire game, goal from field and
a goal from foul. Y. NJ. c. A. ran the
score up until the players got tired, all of
the members of the team figuring in the
scoring. Emmerich and Hester threw the
most goals from field for Y. M. c. A.
Because the court at the Cyclorama was
much larger than regulation size the play

The theft was committed in broad day

Hon. Frank W. DeRossitt, the author
OF the game law, which Is now before
the legislature.
Col. Acklen, who is quite a sportsman
expressed himself as strongly In sympa-
thy with Mr.. DeRossitt In his effort to
protect the game of the state from mar
ket hunters. but said that gentlemen
sportsmen, who kill but little, yet
spend much In the state. should not be
classsd with market hunters. He re-.
ferred to letter from the Arkansas
State Sportmen' Associ, ton and said
he was In full accord with their views
und recommendations and he quoted
from report Of A. X. Fisher on the
subject OF game, saying that. like other
property, 1t should be administered for
the public good, for under proper man
agement 1t may become one Of the chief
attractions OF a state, and may be even
developed into source Of revenue.
THE principal value OF game, " said
Col. Acklen, is not 80 much In the
few dollars it may bring to the individ.
usl hunter. or In the money 1t may
contribute to the state treasury. but in
the benefit it confers on the people at
large by furnishing them an incentive
TO recreation and health. Moreover It
may serve as an attraction to persons
from other states, who, in the pursuit
Of pleasure, spend far more than the
value of the game they kill, and who
often, by this means, become familiar
with natural resources and opportuni-
for investment that otherwise would re-
main unknown 70 them.
''Arkanas is wonderfully rich, but
undeveloped, and capital should be in
