REED BIRD SEASON OPEN.
Marshes Along New Jersey Shore Alive
with Gunners.

Sportsmen who have planned for weeks
to be on the marshes of New Jersey with
the first streak of dawn this morning made
the river and marsher ring with their guns
as they shot the reed and railbirds. The
season opened yesterday. but as it was
Sunday, today was the first open day.
The fact that the day is a holiday took
many gunners to the favorite shooting
places, and all of yesterday scores of
gunners were travelling by wagon and
train to the resorts along the river. Most
Of the hunters seemed to be going on the
Pennsgrove branch of the West Jersey
and Seashore Railroad to the meadows of
Repaupo and Bridgeport.
From these places reports came that the
cold weather has made the birds scarce
and wild and large kills are not antici-
pated. usually the weather is much
warmer the week preceding the first than
this year, and as the reedbird Is a warm
weather creature he has gone to a warmer
vicinity. High tides will be scarce for
pushing for railbirds, as the water has
been low for weeks in the Delaware and
there have been no heavy rains to swell
the tides. The reeds are unusually heavy
and the mud is deep.

SOCCER FOOTBALL

Under the auspices of the Robert Burns
Club of New York the six-a-side a%ssocia-
ton football tournament, which was started
two weeks ago in New York, was con-
cluded at the West Hudson Football Clubs
grounds. Harrison Oval. yesterday. Fully
1000 spectators enjoyed the sport. The
six representing the Caledonian Football
Club of New York won the final round
and the gold medals by defeating the
Newark Hearts, 1 point to 0. 1t was a
lucky win for the New Yorkers as they
gained a corner kick three minutes from
time. Each contest was of fifteen minutes
duration.
Not until the weaker clubs had been put
away in the second round and the semi
finals started was there any real exciting
football shown. although the meeting of
the Caledonians and Paterson Rangers
proved to be n good contest, the "caleys"
just managing TO beat the speedy Pater-
son sextet.
The semi-1nals furnished TWO fast gamesS
the first being between the Clark A. A.
and the Newark Hearts. The Clarks, who
had been tipped of to win the medals,
ran up against a stiff proposition, how
ever, and were vanauished by Il score of l
goal to 3 points. Fenwick scored the
Hearts goal, kicking the ball out of Ma
sons hands.

CaledoniGns of New York. The McDon-
aids, who had performed well in the earlier
rounds, failed to hold the speedy Gale
domains, Johnny. TAFT quickly scoring three
goals. his third being a fine individual
effort. Barton. the "Caleys' =" goalkeeper,
also did good work, This game ended in
a win for the caledonians by a score of
goals to l goal and l point.
After a rest of thirty minutes, the Gale
domains and Newark Hearts faced. each
other in the final. In the first half play
was evenly contested. The "Caleys" sew
eral times looked like scoring, but good
work by Montgomery, of the Hearts, pre-
vented them. In the second half play con
tinued fast and exciting and 1t looked as
If the game would end in a draw. Shortly
before the close, however, Maxwell, of the
'Caleys," managed to force a corner kick.
This proved to be the only point scored,

Colored Cycling Champion Returns from
France and Quits Racing.

WORCESTER. Mass. Sept. 2.-Major
Taylor. the crack cyclist. accompanied by
his family, arrived Unexpectedly in Wor-
cester, yesterday from France, where he
closed a wonderfully successful racing
career. When he went there last spring
he was unable to show anything like his
old-time, lightning form, owing to lack of
condition. but he soon struck his winning
gait, and won victory after victory over
all the crack riders of Europe, with the
exception of Jacquelin, who beat him when
he first arrived there. Taylor refused later
to take on a return race. as Jacquelin had
gone off form and been beaten by second
and third rate riders.
Taylor defeated Penyon, the English
champion; Poulon, French champion last
year; Ellegard, the Danish champion; Van
den Born, the Belgian champion; Verri,
the Italian champion, and Friol, the
French champion and winner of the Grand
Prix.
Taylor announced he has permanently

MILDLY RIFLE CHAMPION.

CAMP PERRY. O., Sept. 2.-Midshipman
W. A. Lee, 10 years old, won the Ameri-
can rife championship at the national
shoot. He defeated the crack shots h
represented all branches of the service.
The title carries with it an autograph
letter from President Roosevelt. Lees
shooting is the more remarkable when IL
1t considered that he was seventeenth in
the Presidents match. Lieutenant Cleop-
ton, of the United States cavalry, was
second. Sergeant Orr, of Cincinnati. of
the First Regiment, Ohio National Guard,
was third. Major Winder. the Ohio marks
man, was sixth. The Ohio men attributed
their bad shooting failure to the fact that
they used government ammunition. In last
weeks matches they had especially loaded
ammunition. A general exodus from the
range began last night.

Flanagan and ~sheppard's Great Work
at Hibernian Games.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Two worlds rec
ords were broken yesterday at the games
of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, held
at Celtic Park. John Flanagan, of the
I-ish-American A, c., threw the 16-pound
hammer 1858 feet 5 inches. The other sue
cessful athlete was Melvin Sheppard, also
the the Winged Fist club.
Sheppard distinguished himself by run
ming 300 yards in 2 minutes l AS seconds,
beating the best previous time by almost
three seconds. Howard Valentine, of the
New York A. c., ran the distance about
two years ago in 2 minutes 4 3-5 seconds
at Travers Island. The 900-yard race was
a special event. Sheppard started against
time, and was paced by his clubmate, ].
A. smiley, who holds the quarter-mile
metropolitan championship, and had so
yards start.
