RAIN PREVENTS
QUAIL SHOOTING
HUNTERS DRIVEN BACK HOME
MINUS BIRDS
sportsmen Preparing to Leave Sunday
for Hunting Grounds Should the
Weather Change-QuaiI
Are Numerous

quail season opened yesterday and
daylight disclosed thousands Of eager
sportsmen in washes and on the mesas
where the saucy blue birds were be-
lieved to be. The disappointment of
the shooters was great when the heavy
clouds, which they had told each other
was but a high fog, began to send
down a fine mist which later turned In
many places into steady rain. Not that
these huskies cared for little rain
that was not the trouble. 1t was the
quail. They did not fancy the weather
and preferred to lie close in the covert.
Limit bags are few and far between.
True some were reported, but most or
those who talked of the big kill were
not in a position TO make good when
called on for q showdown.
Birds were reported plentiful but hard
to get. There were few bitter complaints
because nearly every sportsman who
went afield yesterday brought in enough
quail for his family and a few for his
best friend who think quail, if properly
killed, nearly as good as chicken.
Most of the crack wing shots declare
they know where they will go the first
sunny morning and make a showing
that will surprise their neighbors. All
of them admit they will run up their
scores to the 25-bird limit.
Cactus was reported in excellent form.
The cholla brand which has such a ten
der feeling for rounded calves of un-
hardened legs is said to be as clinging
in its habits as Of yore.
A capital season for the game little
fellows is predicted by the OLD time
sportsmen who went out among them
yesterday.
Sooner shells are reported, but 1t is
believed many Of these were from rab-
bit hunters who have been In the CO.
verts. The watchfulness of the wardens
has instilled a wholesome fear in the
hearts of most of the poachers and the
birds were not at all wild or inclined
to get UP at distance.
Many nimrods who went out We'd
nesday night remained at their hunt
ing grounds last night in anticipation
that the weather would clear during the

VENICE POLICE STOP
BOUT TO SAVE BOXER

The police stepped in and stopped
the preliminary bout between Joe Will
liams and Kid Curley at the Venice
Athletic club last night after Will
liams had beaten Curley into state
of helplessness in the second round.
Williams would have scored a knock
out only for the interference, but his
victory was as decisive as 1t would
have been had the bout gone to a
definite result.
In the main event Scotty Johnson of
Los Angeles and Lester Schwenk of
Santa Monica put up a. good scrap,
which went the limit of eight rounds,
at the end of which Johnson was given
the decision.
Two newsboys put up a rattling bat
tie in the curtain-raiser. These boys
have given boxing exhibitions at other
times in Venice and always put up a
good show, as they did last night.
About $50 persons attended the show.

VENICE SWIMMERS TO
FIGHT ASSOCIATION
Especial to The Herald. ]

VENICE, Oct. 15.-@The action of the
Pacific Amateur Athletic association of
the Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States Wednesday evening in
disqualifying George Freeth and Louis
Hammel from participation in amateur
events will be fought to a finish by the
swimmers involved. Freeth, when seen
today, stated to Herald correspon-
dent that he would take the matter
before the national association and
compel the same action In regard to
all athletes who are in the employ of
any bath house on this coast.
Fred K. McCarver. one of the man.
ayers of the Abbot Kinney company,
characterized the action of last night
as ridiculous and pledged the support
of the company to the disqualified
swimmers. He said, "If our men are
professionals so are all the bath house
employees on this coast. This thing of
making fish of one and flesh of another
is not going to end here. If our water
polo team was a weak team there
would be nothing said and 1 think
that the committee went out of their
way considerably to show their ami

Manager Holcomb, in charge of the
race meeting that is being held as 6
part of the program of the Orangt
county Carnival of Products at Santa
Ana, telegraphed last evening that th'
racing program for today had beer
postponed until tomorrow on accoun
of the rain. He did not indicate wheth

event of clear skies today, but 1t Il
presumed that the postponement will
stand, as the rain probably has put thu
track in such condition that 1t 'coulC

Herberts is fighter with an estab-
Ished reputation, and he ranks we'll up
in the lightweight division, although
he has not climbed into the near
championship class as yet. He is a
fighter, however, and one who mixes it
fearlessly with his opponent, always
willing to take a wallop to put over
one, and always refusing to stall
through a bout. His greater experience
in the ring may count to his advan-
take, but Picato recently has shown
such remarkable improvement in the
clever department of the game that he
is most dangerous foeman for any of
the boys in the second division.
Both boys are sufficiently clever to
take care of themselves with the aver
age fighter. and each is noted for his
punching ability. There is only one
sure thing in this fight, and that is that
whichever one gets over the lucky
wallop will win In a hurry, as each
carries the dream tablet in his glove
and both will try to win in that man
, ner tonight.
Fairbanks and Baker should furnish
several exciting moments, and ten
rounds probably will be sufficient for
them to settle their little quarrel. When
they met at San Bernardino Baker put
the kibosh on Fairbanks in the four
teenth round. AS an excuse for his
rather poor showing in that scrap Fair
banks urges that he was fighting on
one leg and was lacking in condition,
owing to his inability to train properly
for the fight. That he believes this
sufficient excuse is proved in the en-
ergy he has shown since in chasing
after Baker for a return match.
To the credit of Fairbanks 1t must be
said that he is a fighter all the way

through and he has kick that Will
stop any of them if he can put it over.
He also is game and can take punish
ment like q veteran. He will have an
advantage of several pounds in weight,
and with a thorough course of training
under his belt he will go into the ring
tonight in the hope that he will be able
to turn the tables on his conqueror.
There should be lots of fun and plen-
ty of excitement when Bubbles Robin
son and the Congo Coon get together
in the second preliminary. They went
on for four rounds last week on the
spur of the moment, just to entertain
the fans while Freddie Welsh was
waking up from his nap previous to
his scrap with Trendall, and the Coon
showed such sensational form that he
had Bubbles on the defensive before
they had gone half the distance. Bub-
bles demanded that they be matched
over a ten-round route, so that he
would have a chance to knock his block
off. and the Coon was equally as in
sistent. They were matched, and when
they start their melee tonight 1t will
make all other scraps look tame by
comparison.
The winner of the Snyder-Russell
scrap will be matched with Walter
Fisher, the tow-headed chap from San
Bernardino, who has been making a
name for himself since he made his
debut here several weeks ago.
The first prelim will be called at S:15
O'clock and Handicapped Hancock will
see to 1t before the thing starts that
all the scrappers are under the roof

 Tt is reported,' writes the con- gTessman from Michigan, that the statehood bills may be considered at the special session of congress, which will be called to revise the tariff, but intimates that tbe statehood bills will not be passed by congress with out much discussion.
 Chairman Hamilton of the commit tee on territories in the house, was the author of the joint statehood bill, and 1t is believed by some that nc separate statehood bill will gel through congress without another at tempt being made by the republican leaders to join Arizona and New Mex ico together as one state.

WILD CAT BOUNTY 1 VERY EXPENSIVE
Pima County Pays $60G0 a Year and Is Tired of the
 Outlay.

TUCSON. Nov. 27.-A large mum Der of wild cat scalps and hides were brought to the supervisors office yes terday. The killing of these wild cats and the turning of the hides into the supervisors for the bounty has proven to be. very profitable industry Tor hunters and forest rangers, but very expensive to the tax payers. It is no uncommon thing for the rangers and others to take in s100 a month for these wild cat hides. In a conversa- ton with Chairman Charles Bayless of the board of supervisors yesterday, 1t was learned that the wild cat boun- ty was costing Pima county about $6000 annually. Mir. Bayless thought the law providing the bounty for. the killing of wild cats ought to be repeal ed. for, he said: Since this law has gone into effect, jack rabbits have become so numerous that some of the counties are paying bounties for their extermination. Wild cats are Q nat ural enemy of and Irey upon the jack rabbits. but since the bounty has been placed upon them the rabbit is be- coming so numerous in certain parts of Pima county that they destroy NG@G1dLAOu anu NOnnE UT chards, unless barred by wire fepces. This is especially tue along the val leys exposed to their rayages. It IS a known fact that they forage upon many of the gardens of residents on the outskirts of the city, which re- uuire all shrubbery and trees to be protected from them.
 "The wild cat is of no possible harm to anything, except, perhaps, to young lambs in a sheep country. out southern Arizona has very few sheep. They feed on jack rabbits principally, and quail. and in place of being con sidered pest, they should be protect ed and encouraged"
 Mir. BayTess also suggested in re gard to the bounty paid for the de struction of the iobo wolf, mountain lion and bear, that such a bounty was all right, as the wolf is destructive animal 10 herds, likewise the noun tain lion. However, the value of the hides of thees animals in the market Is generally as high or higher than the bounty offered, so that the cost 10 the county is comparatively small.
 Inasmuch as our board of super visors have been working most asid- uously during the past two years to keep down and reduce the expenses of Pima county, they feel much inter ested in the subject of heavy costs falling upon the county for the de struction of an animal whose protec. tion is much more to be desired than it's destruction.
