NOTES OF INTEREST GATHERED
HERE AND THERE
Hen Berry Not Successful in Efforts
to Have More Local Baseball.
achtsmen Sorry for
Pugh

Henry Berry has written to friends in
Los Angeles that he would probably
| leave Frisco either today or Monday
and come home for few days. When
| he left 1t was Hens intention to ask
the powers that be for slight change
in the Pacific coast league schedule, and
to allow this city a few more games,
but Berry's silence on the subject can
be taken as a sign that he didn't sue
ceeed.
Los Angeles sports are having all
kinds of fun over the way certain
local paper regards itself and it's stand
on Tommy Burns. In the issue of a
few days ago the paper referred to
Burns as q near champion, but last
night he was called the one and only
real active heavyweight fighter of the
world. And maybe that isn't sparkle
from the little jewel called consistency.
Red Perkins threatens to retire from
his duties as impresario of the ANA
teur ball field in Southern California.
Don't do it, Red, for the kids need
somebody to stir 'em up, and you are
the one and only publicity kid since
Jeems Morley was in his prime.
Yachters in general regret the acci-
dent to Joe Pugh's Monsoon at Venice.
In addition to having a crack boat,
Pugh is a good sportsman and had more
than a fair chance to win the race for
the Venice cup, and his enforced with
drawal took much of the interest usu-
ally attached to the event away.
Turfmen all over the country are
awaiting with eagerness Boots Dur
nells move in the game of bid-and-
leave it, Billy Dubois play to get Joe
Nealon the other day should call for
comeback from Boots, and those who
know how relentless the little fellow
can be are expecting something to hap
pen the next time Dubois colors are on
the winner of a selling race. Still the
turfmen needn't look for Durnell to
make any extraordinary bids, for he
never cripples the Gates bank account
by bidding in horseflesh for more than
it is worth.
7. d. Springer of Los Angeles, owner
of Sonoma Girl, which won this year S
NJ and M stake at Detroit, has taken the
place occupied for some years by Will
liam Garland also of this city, and VINO
was a prominent national figure as the
owner of Sweet Marie. Both Springer
and Garland race their stables at the
neriodical matinees of the Los Angeles
Driving club, and are doing much TO
add to the already enviap1e reputation
of that flourishing local organization
lust because Jim Jeffries feels that
he needs exercise and has announced ms
intention of doing a little daily work
at the Los Angeles Athletic club fght
fans all over the country take IL as an
omen that the one and only champion
considers Tommy Burns in the light OF
q rival and is doing little preliminary
I,A
from the Canadian near champion Jel
is taking the exercise for the same rea-
son that any other business man VINO
desires to be able to digest MS ioou
nroperly does. and according to his own
statement has no intention OF re-en-
tering the ring At least not with the
present dubs to compete against.
Several Inquiries have been turned in
to the sporting editor lately in regard
to the gun license law and Its connec-
tion with hunting on ones own prop
erty. For the benefit of those VINO
have been misinformed or are Ignorant
of the law section eleven, which deals
with the question, is given ana ls aS
follows
"The provisions of this act Can act to
reeulate and license the hunting or
game birds and animals and to provide
revenue therefrom for game preserVa-
tion and restoration and to make appro-
priation for the purpose of carrying out
the objects of this act) shall not apply
to any person who on MS own ldnuS
hunts pl1rsues or kills any of the wild
birds or animals protected by the laws
of this state"
Therefore, a person who hunts on his
own lands does not have to OBTAIN
license from the county clerk to enable
him to do so legally. But little tip TO
the favored few which would not go
amiss is this: Be sure ana stay on youl
o1,,n nlace or one of Mr.. Morgan's ever
watchful deputies will be Johnny-at-
the-rat- hole to get you.
