The result of the unchecked use

the complete humiliation of the
small game within very few years.
And, as President Shields, of the
League of American sportsmen, re-
marked in his address before the ju-
dietary committee yesterday, the
preservation of birds is not wholly
question of sentiment" Twenty
flve years ngo, he recalls, the plains
Of Texas fairly swarmed with quail
and prairie chickens and meadow
larks. The State settled up, and an
unbridled slaughter of the innocents
resulted These lesser children"
were practically annihilated. And
the result has been that that indus
trious little insect known as the boil
weevil has taken possession Of large
tracts Of cotton land in Texas, and
the planters Of the State have lost
millions thereby The birds are
worth many millions Of dollars to
Georgia, just as they were to Texas.

WIN GAME
Van VIiet's Pack Defeat
Punahou Players at
Seeker.

The weather at the football ground
yesterday was wretched. The ground
was slippery, the ball soggy and the
players were drenched to the skin.
Under the circumstances accurate
play was impossible, and the contest
between the Males and Diamond
Heads, which promised to be a rafting
good one, was spoiled by the rain.
The first game developed a good old
fashioned surprise, the Infantry defeat
ing the Punahous by the score of 1
goal to 0, thereby winning their first
game this season.
The Punahous put d weak team in
the field and played man short. The
Infantry, however, put up a much
better game than usual, some of their
forwards combining to good effect.
The goal was scored in the first half.
