Are there no deputy game wardens
at Clear Lake so that those who kill
more ducks in single day than the
law allows can be arrested and fined !?
~ f,o, n
City be true, j. C. Williams and Tod
Ransom should pay for their slaughter.
Two hundred eleven ducks in four
days Is reported to be the record OF
this pair of killers. At twenty-five
birds day they exceeded the limit by
eleven and for that eleven they deserve
the limit of the law. They are re-
ferred to as "sportsmen.' More corr
rectly might they be called unsports-
rnanlike, game gluttons and law break
ers. Who says a spring closed season
would not protect from such as they?
Burlington's team of the Iowa State
League is the first to report for the
spring practice. A number of the
players were due to report at Burling :,
ton today. The practice with Egans
squad will not, however, open in full
blast until next week.

at some later date. Burns recently
threw Parr, the best two Of three falls.
Frank Heilman, Of Ida Grove, has
been elected captain OF the Morning
side, Sioux City, foot ball team. He'll
man is a junior in the college. He
played end on the Ida Grove high
school team, and occupies the same
place in the Morningside lineup.
Except In favored localities duck
shooting in the state this week has
not been up to the average of last
year and the year before. The ex-
tremely warm wave of late last week
and the early part of this week sent
the ducks north without a stop. The
drop in the temperature helped some,
but not a. great deal.
Now that playing schedule for the
Iowa State League has been adopted
and has become official, interest in
the league circuit will center in the
spring training which will soon be-
gin, and in the "dope" Of players, and
pennant winning teams.
