The legislatures of SIX STATES are
uniting to secure uniform legislation
for the protection of fish and game.
EARLY in April, possibly April 3, there
will be held in Chicago an interstate
conference OF members of the legisla-
lures and each delegation VIII tell what
is desired in it's state in the way or
fish and game protective legislation.
II is hoped that an agreement will be
reached and the delegations return to
their respective legislatures and secure
enactment of the composite bill pre-
pared in the conference.
The states to be represented are
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin and Minnesota. These states
have much in common with respect to
their hunting and fishing and 1T is
found that much would be gained IL
they maintained more uniform laws
in this regard. One of the most inn
portant matters to be handled in the
conference, is that of fishing in Lake
Michigan Five of these states, all
save Iowa, border on either Lake Mich
igan or Lake Superior, and it is believ-
ed that an end can be made to disre-
gard of the fish laws of any of the
states, which is now general, IL all
the states combine in enacting uniform
laws.
Another matter is the hunting of
81, l>I 70 how
the same open season for deer in Wis
<onsin, Michigan, and Minnesota, and
;Aso to make more extensive and def
mite arrangements for the transporta-
ton of game killed in the open season.
The getting of the deer home has been
serious problem with the hunters,
as the state laws prevent the trans
-portation of a deer from one state
into or thru another. Some arrange
ments in this regard have been made
at various times between the wardens
| of the states, but it is preferred that a
statute be provided.
With the coming of spring weather,
college athletes have begun training
for their field meets in earnest. Cross
/
number of men who are at work In the
sheds and gymnasiums is daily in
creasing at the majority of the coll
leges. From Iowa, Ames, Drake, Simp-
son and Coe, come reports of good ma
terial and unusual interest and all
promise to send large delegations to
| the state meet.
| Charles Mitchell, manager of JabeZ
White, lightweight champion Of Eng
| land, has announced that match had
been made by telegraph for a fight be-
tween White and Jimmy Britt. The
date of the match and the amount
of the purse are undecided, Mitchell
said, but the division of the purse
would probably be either rs per cent
to the winner and 25 per cent to loser
or 60 and 40 per cent respectively.
| A foot ball game between Nebraska
and the University of Michigan, to be
played in Ann Arbor, October 81, is
announced by Manager Baird of Mich
| igan. Nebraska is new attraction at
Michigan, and particularly desired
there as it will furnish a basis for
comparison between Michigan and
Minnesota. Michigan has offers of a
game with Amherst, and there are ru-
mors of a game with Pennsylvania.
The committee of the Central Him
OILS Golf Association, at meeting held
this week, set the date and place for
the annual tournament for the week
of July 1S at bloomington. The cit
les represented will send six men each,
as follows: Bloomington, Decatur,
Jacksonville, Springfield, Galesburg,
Champaign, Quincy and Peoria.
Battling Nelson's manager says that
Britt is sidestepping Nelson because
the latter refuses to "lay down" to
him. Nelson declares that the Britts
attempted to frame UP the match so
that Jimmy could not lose and Britt
was to be hailed as the uncomfortable
champion When Nelson absolutely re-
fused to be partly to any such crooked
scheme, the Britts declined to post any
forfeits or sign articles for a match.
President Ebbetts Of the Brooklyn
club and Edward Hanlon have come
to terms and the latter will manage
the Brooklyns, but at great reduc-
ton over his former salary Of $4,000
James ]. Jeffries, in response to a
challenge to fight K. Kigashi, the Jill
iitsu expert says that he will consider
a match after he has disposed OF
Adolph link, who weighs seventy-five
pounds, and Arthur Dunn, who weighs
lis.
John S. Johnson, the former king OF
bicycling and skating, is coming to the
front as an automobolist. He is the
right hand man of Earl kiser of Toll
edo and manager of the latter's garage
Iowa at Washington.
