Leo Wolf, the Quincy bowler, was
in the city last night and before
leaving he visited the Olympia bowl
ing alleys where in the course of sew
eral games he set high average OF
1876 % lettering the next highest
score by 31-3. Although he tried
hard for high score he was only able
to make 215 and PA was necessary to
beat the one set by Phil CHASER. Wolf
bowls a speedy accurate ball, using
two fingered one which he grasps
with his thumb and first finger. He
is prominent member of one Of the
fast Quincy bowling teams and is one
of the best players In that city.
George Loomis thinks he has team
which can beat the Quincy bunch and
told Wolf so last night. 1t would not
be surprising to see a game between
them some time this winter. Wolf
is young travelling man.
Mt. Pleasant News: Quail are
plentiful. They have had an unusual
opportunity to multiply There were
no severe storms during Matching
time, and the little hens were allowed
to rear big families. The absence Of
storms during Matching time also
helped the ducks in rearing their
young, and then there was no great
rise of water in the rivers and creeks,
and duck Matching was little molested.
Serious lovers of the sport say that
the quail will be slaughtered by the
wholesale this week as the birds are
still comparatively tame and espec-
tally the young birds have not been
frightened by the hunter and his dog
and have still to learn how to escape
the enemy. These serious lovers OF
field sport do not intend to hunt quail
until at least a Elk after the season
opens as there is no sport in slaugh
tering the quail when they are so
plentiful and are still quite tame.
Quail shooting will be allowed only
during the month of November and up
to December Is. which is rather
short period but the law must be en-
forced If the birds are to be saved
from elimination. All hunters who
take the sport seriously agree with
this law and try their best to help en-
force 1t, and It may be fairly stated
that the game laws are less trans
lgressed now than formerly.
