GOOD SPORT
Duck Shooters Order Big
Supplies Of Shot
and Shell.

The presence Of large numbers of
ducks in the markets without any signs
Of shot marks is explained by the
sportsmen. The majority Of these birds
are caught in the nets set by the pro-
fessi0nal fishermen for striped bass
The catch consists chiefly OF cans.
bIuebills and coots. The other ducks
invariably fly over the nets. but these
curious birds dive under the water TO
investigate and are caught in the nets
and suffocated. The game wardens are
alert and are quick TO apprehend any
one in this unlawful business
That the duckshooters anticipate good
sport this week is shown by the unusu-
ally large orders for shells placed with
the ammunition dealers. When there is
a rush of orders it is taken as a sign
that the owners of preserves have been
advised by their gamekeepers that
birds are plentiful.
