"sHooTTNG THE IINTTT.v


 When the first flight of the wild fowl ks we'll started, we may expect to hear that "the ducks aren't coming down on their old fyways this year" Wise old duck hunters will wag their heads and say it is because of the draining off of the lowlands of the Middle West and the greatly increased acreage of irrigated lands beyond the Rookie. This and the fact that duck which is shot in the spring cannot fly down from the North in the fall with family of young, should account for consider able falling off of the flight on feeding grounds which might otherwise be counted on to be well patronized by the fowl.
 Spring shooting and changes in the geographical conditions, however, can not be more responsible for the scarci- ty of wild fowl on long famous inland shooting grounds than the practice of shooting the limit" indulged in by so many hunters when the opportunity af- lords. Particularly on club preserves, whore the fowl are systematically bait ed with scattered grain, hunters still persist in killing all the game the law allows them to, regardless of the fu- ture of the sport. Rare indeed Is the club where the man who "kills the limit'' is not the hero of the hour, when instead he should be rebuked.
 Shooting the limit in the shortest possible time, when combined with batting the marshes, is the most un- spertsmsnlike practice any shooting club can Se guilty of permitting. And yet there are those that encourage il even advertise itl
 The practice can be stopped by clut ] rules, but unfortunately no club is lesl greedy and ruthless than it's members Recreation.

On a muddy and slippery field tue Derby high school eleven vanquished the team representing the Greenwich high school this afternoon by the scoNe of 6 to 5. The game was wit messed by a fair sized gathering who did not seem to mind the wetness of the meadows caused by the recent high water in the river The game was very evenly contested, both elev- ems being about of the same weight and quickness. The halves were each of twenty minutes duration with five minutes for intermission. Edward Fitzgerald, principal of the local high school, acted as timekeeper and Bliss Gordy of Yale, a graduate of Derby high school, was the referee. The game did not begin until after o'clock, and before the second half was concluded the moon was shining brightly. Derby secured her touchdown in the first half, the ball being pushed from the 35-yard line clear across the line. Blankheld was the one who held the ball when the tOuGhuuWIl was 4IuuC' DlCNeT klCK0Q the goal Greenwich secured her touchdown in the last ten minutes of play, in the last half After securing the ball on Derby's 2O-yard line on a tumble they pushed the ball to the locals 5-yard line Then they worked clever forward pass and secured a touchdown. Duff failed to kick goal, the ball striking just midway against the post and falling back. At the conclusion of the game the ball was about in the center of the field in Derby's possession The game abound ed in funbles, both sides making sew ' eral during the game, Blankfeld, Me

OF heart and MIND that cannot bat
have wholesome effect on the race
at large. r>
The Negro knows he has rights
and knows that The denial Of these
rights is contrary to the fabrieI,of
American government and. civiIiza-.
tfoh- He likewise knows that he has
duties and a consideration OF mans
rights always carries with it a cor
relative consideration of mans du-
ties. He realizes that the more close
~ he performs all the duties incum-
bent upon him by the position he oc-
, cupies in this American life, the
sooner-wili the realization his
rights come to him.
Another instance of the Negroes
recognition Of me efficacy Of Self
help Is IN the tremendous efforts he
IL lately manifesting to put down
crime among his people. This is a
difficult task. The leaders Of the
people and the good citizens among
them are as far removed from the
criminal elements of"the race as IS
the corresponding class of white peo-
pie from the white criminals The
leaders Of the Negro people have no
ccerciVe influence over criminals
Negro criminals are only afraid Of
white faces and blue coats, and do
the race more harm in one month
than the graduates from all the Ne
gro schools can counterfeit in a year
This class is entirely beyond the
pale Of Outstanding Influences. The
effort is being made, however, to ex-
ert an influence over the youth Of
the present. that they will have a
perfect knowledge OF their. moral
duty to mankind, iB a patriotic duty
to the land Of their birth; that they
and their children may be God-fear-

White men of the South must help
