OVER BROWNE
Dalton Sitting Into High Game with
Frank Sheek-Turk and Cox
Have New List of
Jokes

There will be one very busy man in
Los Angeles Wednesday night next,
and that Billy Walsh, the popular pre-
lin referee whom McCarey introduced
recently at Maud Junction. Walsh has
been chosen to ofticiate during the SIX
contests which are to be held.
II may be that Walsh will experience
dificuItv when the Turk and Jack Cox
climb into the ring. The pair may be
expected to do most anything, and
Walsh will have a strenuous time Il
cox once wraps his arm or leg around
Abdurs neck.
Some believe that the CoX-Turk go
will not be such farce as predicted
and that comedy Will become real
tragedy. There is a general hope, how
ever, that neither the TURK nor COX
have learned anything about lighting
since their last appearances. II so, the
fun will be spoiled.

Consensus Of opinion appears to be

The Kid got him for fair the first out

Shooting and Fishing
Hold Throughout
Entire Year
Ducks Not So Plentiful, Owing to Ex.
eellenee Of the eWeather--cood
Bags Of Quail Still
to Be Had

Although ducks have been scarcer
than the traditional hens teeth for
over month past, shooters in South
ern California have little cause for
complaint when they compare their
lot with that Of the shotgun wayfarer
in the effete frozen east.
Given bag of ten ducks for a morn
ing's shoot and the eastern gunner's
suspenders would snap short, for he
would go UP like a rabbit shared in
boys springpole. Around Long Island
the club shooters think themselves
lucky to get half a dozen ducks of any
old variety in n days hunting, but
things travel faster west Of the big
muddy apparently, for out here any
thing less than twenty for a mornings 8
bag is likely to be scoffed at.
The Atlantic sportsman's game cat
alogue is composed of very limited
number of selections. He can shoot
in some localities, If he Is fortunate,
several different kinds of game, but in
about all localities game is scarce.
Ruffled grouse in the middle states
are practically extinct; quail might as
well be: other game Is so rare that
the rabbit alone remains to fall back
upon, and even bunnie is ruthlessly
being cleaned out of the more popu-
lous sections.
California sportsmen Fortunate
Southern California sportsmen,
whether they fish or shoot, little real
ize how much the best of outdoor life
is theirs. 1t is human to fail to ap-
preciate what we have in fond contem-
plation of what the other fellow has,
or, more often, what we think he has.
A varied program presents itself on
the southwestern slope of the Sierra.
All winter the finest of quail, duck,
rabbit and bird shooting is available;
all summer the oceans finny treasures
give themselves up to the fisherman's
hook. The biggest of all game fish,
and some of the fastest of table fish
are at the rodster's beck and call
Back in the mountains he may even
find trout, if that game alone of all
arts piscatorial appeal to him. This
year there will be fly casting galore, for
plenty of water is available, and large
pools are sure to be scooped out by
the rush of the torrents.

SEA ANGLERS HAVE
GOOD MiDWINTER SPORT

Local sea fishermen are catching a
few spotfin croakers in San Pedro bay
and a few small mackerel at Redondo
and other points where there are long
wharves, but, on the whole, the sport
is very slow at present, and hardly
worth the trying.
Excepting a sort of "lucd interval
early in the new year the winter fish
ing is pretty uncertain game at best,
although occasionally good catches are
to be made at it, and therein lies the
chief charm-the uncertainty. One
never knows when he himself may be
struck by lightning and make a kill
ing. The winter fish are always more
delicate for the table than those taken
in summer their flesh being firmer,
and often better favored as well.

CAMBRIDGE TO
ROW HARVARD
Belief is Strong in the East that a
Return Match Will Be Rowed
During the Coming Sum-
mer Season
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. ga Boston dis
patch to the World says that it is be-
lieved there that the Harvard varsity
crew will row a return race with CAM
bridge in this country next summer.
Word was received in Boston yesterday
that Cambridge is planning TO send
over a crew to compete In the Canadian
and national regattas and that the
English university will open negotia-
tions for a race with Harvard either
before or after the two regattas.
The letter Is from ID. q. r. Stuart,
stroke of the Cambridge crew which
defeated Harvard on the Thames last
summer. The Harvard men are unani-
nous in the opinion that Harvard will
gladly arrange for a race for any date
in the summer, although this may
mean that the members of the Har-
ward university crew will not be able
to break training until perhaps we'll on
into the summer. But this the Cam
bridge eight did last summer, so it IS
| felt that the Harvard Oarsmen would
only be returning the compliment.

TO the Editor Of The State:
yish to make a statement in re-

Goodwin and others, which appears in

counties in this State, 13 Of those
have elected delegates to the conven-
ton which is to be held in Columbia
on the 18th. We believe two Of the
remaining counties will elect dele
gates tomorrow and we have good
reason to believe that every county
will be represented at the meeting
which will be held on the 18th, Presi-
dent Goodwin to the contrary not
withstanding. On November 80, ten
county unions petitioned President
Goodwin to call this meeting, I have
sent the petitions to him myself and
| know that he reiceved them on that
date. He has ignored this request
and is now trying to defeat the will
OF large majority Of the member
! ship Of the union. However for the
information Of the counties which
have elected delegates, the meeting
will certainly be held at the time ap-
pointed. (Signedy w. L. Anderson.

lind out whether that is true.
The comptrollers of the currency.
he said, are so complaisant and polite
while they are in office that "aImost
every one Of them has graduated into
the presidency OF a bank
The officials about the president
he said, go out to join the kings OF
finance. "The president turns on the
light, why don't ne turn on the hand.
cuffs when he finds somebody steal
ing? He goes through the country
and makes speeches and DESTROYS the
confidence of the people, but wa do
not find him putting anybody in pris-

He referred to a resolution he had
introduced in the senate a. YEAR ago
for an inquiry into the failure of tba

Chicago was the president. but
year and a half had gone by before

the senator. THAT seems to BE the

Mr. Tfllman said he only intended

What is the need for public Of
fetal to begin each day with a bulle-

tinues honest? These habits which I
describe and condemn have had &

while l feel sometimes disheart-
ened by the tendencies that SO plain

will prove to be only eruptions in the

our senses will be restored and we
