COUNTER GOLF NEW FAD
LATEST INDOOR GAME is AN
ELABORATE FORM OF THE OLD
TIDDLEDYWINKS.

The newest game for indoor amuse-
ment in London is Counter golf"
which has the advance over other
kinds of golf in that it is played on
a parlor table. 1t is one of the most
exciting parlor games yet invented
and promises to gain as wide popular
ity as did ping pong, for, altho but
recently introduced to the public, it
has become quite craze, particular
ly among members of the theatsi.>-
profession.
This latter fact is easily accounted
inimitable little comedian, who is the
life and soul Of Gaiety comedies, Ted
dy Payne.
The links, which is board covered
with green baize, constitutes a six
holed course over a series Of bunkers,
composed of rocks, ridge, a fence,
a wall and a water jump, the holes
set between these obstacles being
rings.
In playing the game an ivory disk
or counter takes the place of the ball
and it is 'impelled forward by small
ivory nicker that plays the part of
the golf club. Pressure of the nicker
on the. edge of the counter forces it to
jump forward, tho not always in the
manner expected or the direction re-
quired. In short, the game is a COM
bination of goE and tiddledywinks.
Play is commenced at the home
green and continued around the
course, every hole being made after
each bunker, has been cleared be-
tween two flags set upon it. The game
is to cover the course in the least
number of strokes, making, of course,
every hole. A stroke is counted each
| time. the counter is touched, and,
while it is possible to cover the course
in six strokes, the probability is that,
simple as the play appears, sixty
strokes will be nearer the mark, for
the counter has an aggravating way
of flying off at unexpected angles,
dropping too short when the pressure
is too light, flying too far when it is
too hard, and lodging even on the
bunkerS. '.

THE PRIZE GOLF STORY
AIDED BY A CROW, A CAIRO
PLAYER DOES SOME THINGS
TO COLONEL BOGEY.
Illustrated Sporting News.


1t is gorgeous story that comes
from the golf links of Cairo, and every
good golfer will hereafter carry a
gun in his bag Of clubs if he wishes
to overlook no fine points. After
splendid drive, a Cairo player watched
the ball roll over the distant turf,
when to his Mortified amazement, a
crow swooped down and carried it
aloft. The golfer and the caddie put
off in chase, the caddie cursing in
fluid Arabic. Then, to the delight Of
the golfer, the crow dropped the ball
on the green, and he holed out in two
strokes, which put Colonel Bogey out
of commission. The opponent was
threatened with apoplexy. AS in the
case of the Indian football trick of
sticking the ball under his jersey,
there was every kind Of a rule in the
book, except one to cover the unex-
pected, and the golfers record, ably
assisted by his crowship, had to stand.
Many years ago in England, before a
rule was made to fit a similar emer-
gency in cricket, it is related that a
batsman knocked ball into tall
tree, where it lodged in the crotch Of
a limb. There was no climbing the
tree, and the nearest ak was half a
mile away Before it could be OBJ
tanned, and the tree chopped down,
the man with the bat made more than
700 runs, hurtling between the wick
cts like human shuttlecock. He
stopped scoring runs then, only be-
cause he: ran himself out of strength
and breath and fell on the turf, still
feebly trying to pile up another run,
with one weary eye cooked on the
tree and all the opposing side franii-
cally trying to chop at once.

Am I Right !?

hUNTERS thruout the state are
Il i complaining in regard to the big
game shipment clause Of the new
game and fish code. Briefly, the code
provides that deer, moose, or caribou
may be shipped from the place where
they are killed to the place where the
hunter took out his license. Each
license carries tags which must be
attached to the game when it is
shipped. It is impossible for hunter
who lives in Hennepin county, for
instance, to send his game as a pres
ent to friend in ST. Paul. 1t is also
impossible for a hunter who lives in
the northern part of the state, and
shoots in his own county, to send
deer to a friend in some other part
of the state.
Every provision Of the game laws
which appears unreasonable to the
hunters is always excused on the
ground that stringent laws are neces-
sary to. prevent pot-hunting, which
would exterminate the game in a few
years. STILL, it seems that the laws
might be made more liberal and still
be sufficiently effective in restricting
hunting to those who hunt for sports
sake. Many provisions Of the game
code now and in the past have ap-
peared unreasonable, as for instance,
the old accompaniment clause, which
provided that man must tlavel on
the same train which carried his game.
This law was once interpreted to mean
that the hunter must be in the same
car with his game-that he must, to
adj intents and purposes, have it in
his hand until he reached his desti-
nation.
The present laws in regard to the
shipment of game SAVIOR somewhat
of class legislation. They practically
restrict the consumption Of game birds
and animals to those men who have
| time to shoot them, or to the friends
OF the &latter.5 The ordinary citizen
who is taxed for the maintenance of
| the game laws is unable toEderive any
| of the benefits.
The season for hunting deer is none
too long. With only ten days for
shooting deer, it would seem that
even if the laws were made much
more liberal in regard to the ship
ment Of game, at least within the state
there would be Slight danger of the
| determination Of deer or moose. Many
complaints in regard to this feature
of the laws have been made by hunt
ers, especially those in the northern
part of the state, who desire to send
game to friends elsewhere, but are
prevented from doing so by the pres
ent laws. Thor.

LEAGUE GAMES
OFF NEXT WEEK
NO BOWLING MATCHES EXCEPT
IN THE CITY LEAGUE.
Work of Buffalo Team Is Sensation Of
the Fortnight in Minneapolis League
Hansen Still Leads the Individual
Bowlers with Nichols Second.

The feature of the last two weeks in
the Minneapolis Bowling league has
been the work of the Buffalos, who
first took the odd game from the
Turner's, and then got three straight
from the Tasmos. This put them in
third position in percentage Of games
won, and fourth in pin averages.
The Buffalos are rolling just as
strong a game as any team in the
league just now, and promise to make
the leaders hustle. 1t was thought
that the Tuxedos might bring the
Turner's down notch and make the
race more interesting, but they failed
to deliver the goods.
The next two weeks will see a cessa-
ton of all league bowling except in
the City league, which rolls four
games on Tuesday and Wednesday Of
next week. Except for this there will
be no more match games until the
week of Jan. 4.
In individual averages Hansen still
leads the Minneapolis league, having
gained several pins on his team mate,
Nichols, during the week. Matheson

average of 213 1-3. There is little

SPORT ON LONG ISLAND
Lots of Deer, but Only Four Days a
Year to Hunt.
Illustrated Sporting News

There are different ways of hunt
ing deer, but none 50 extraordinary
as the Long Island way. Deer are
abundant, but the time for hunting is
short, and the best is made of it.
Herds of deer may be seen on the
large preserves, but the animals do
not keep entirely within those con-
fines. They wander out into the open,
lie in the brush, and roam over the
fields so that their tracks are to be
seen like those of sheep in a pasture.
AS soon as they are hunted they
make for the preserves. The best
open grounds are around Islip and
there the hunters congregate.
The hunting season comprises only
four days in the year; the first two
Wednesdays and the first two Fridays
after the first Tuesday in November.
The first Tuesday is therefore the
great assembling day for the hunters.
They flock to Is1ip and the neighbor-
ing towns in the evenings, and fill
UP the hotels. Some extreme en-
tIusiasts, lest they should lose coveted
positions, camp out overnight on the
hunting grounds. The majority of
these hunters, fully rs per cent, are
Germans. They come from New York,
Brooklyn and even Jersey City. Some
bring hounds with them, for the dog
is an important factor in the sport.

player and did good work in the uni
Versity game. McChesney and Lam
mers of Shattuck also have done ex-
ceedingly good work.
Culliton, the big. left tackle of the
st. Thomas team, is clearly entitled
to place on the Minnesota elev-
Ell for his great line plungingA and
general good play. The choice for the
other place is not so easy. Beall of
Hamline has done good work, both in
the defense and in carrying the ball.
Hayes Of Carleton is another good
man, but Beall should have the pref
erence because he has been at dis
advantage in playing on weak team.
Fitzgerald and Duggan of ST.
Thomas are entitled to the guard pO-
sitions. There We're no. bright stars
at guard this year, but the two named
are strong, heavy, invulnerable on de-
fense, and good at opening holes for
the runner.
Hayes of Carleton is given the place
at center, altho Cullen Of st. Thomas
also has done good work in this posi-
ton.
Wilkinson of shattuck is unaues-
tionably the best quarterback of the
year. He runs his team with speed
and good judgment, and is a fast in
dividual player. His good football
head earns him the position Of cap
tain. Finn Of Manchester has done
some good work, but Is twenty
pounds lighter than Wilkinson, and
hardly in the same class as an in
dividual player or g. football general.
Cundy of Carleton is a player of
the sensational order. He has scored
more touchdowns than any player in
the league. His long runs, while at
times they appear to be in the nature
Of flukes, are SO frequent that they
must be ascribed largely to his speed
cleverness in evading tacklers, and
quickness in seizing opportunities
Lynch Of Manchester is a strong line
p1unger, and reliable man in all de-
partments and is entitled to the other
halfback position, with Onslaught
messy of. ST. Thomas a close third, to
the two. ....
Prinz Of Shattuck has no rival at
fullback. His kicks are long and ac-
curate, his line bucking good, and his
interference and defensive play up tc
the standard. He appears to be e,clear-
fy varsity material. !.,...,

good football player, but also excels
in tennis, hockey, basket ball, base
ball and sailing. He was pitcher on
the Central nine last fall, and won
