HOPE FOR SPRING HUNTING
Hunters are Confident Legislature viii
Act Favorably on the Bill

Hunters are Confident Legislature will
Act Favorably on the Bill
Local hunters who advocated the
shooting of ducks for limited time
during the spring are confident that
the bill now up before the legislature
will be passed. The measure will be
acted upon by the joint legislative
committee on fish and game this week.
The Milwaukee Hunters Associa-
ton puts forth several arguments in
favor of shooting what are known as
deep water birds, such as blue bills
and canvas backs for period Of ff-
teen days from April 10 to April 20.
One Of them is that the birds in
question rarely breed in WISCONSIN,
merely passing through the state on
their annual northern fight to the Hud-
son bay region. 1t is claimed that
, they mate in the southern states and
that the breeding season takes place
in June or July, about two months
after the time when the bill proposes
Ito permit the shooting Of deep water
birds.
6 square deal for Wisconsin hunt
ters' is the slogan Of the Milwaukee
Association. It is claimed that the
opponents of the measure are aristo-
cratic hunters, who are making use
Of prejudice and pretended sentimen-
tality'' to prevent the passage of a
law which will benefit the rank and file
|of Wisconsin s shooters.

Racine and Milwaukee Managers
Claim New League Is To Re.
place Lake Shore League
BREEN LEADER IN NEW LEAGUE
Milwaukee and Racine Claim That
They Are to be Left Out in the
Cold by the Reorganization of
the Lake Shore League

If stories from Racine and Milwau-
kee are to be believed the Lake Shore
= Base Ball League has passed into his
- tory and steps are now being taken
to complete the organization of a
league to be known as SsThe Wisconsin
- North Shore League. Peter Breen
- Of this city and John Kaiser of Port
Washington are said to be the prime
movers in the organization Of the new
league Breen was not in his office
today, but it is intimated that the soft
~ impeachments made by the Racine
and Milwaukee managers have foun-
datlon IN fact The cry of the Racine
manager against being thrown out of
80 the league can be summed up pretty
~ well from the following which was
published in one Of the Racine papers
on Friday evening:
"That the Racine and Milwaukee
W franchise owners in the Lake Shore
League have been given a double cross
and effectively put to the mat, as
far as organized base ball is concern
90 ed, is plainly indicated by the infor-
- nation that is now being accumulated
as to how Pete Breen Of Kenosha and
Johnnie Kaiser Of Port Washington
have succeeded in organizing the Wis
- consin North Shore League, which con
W sists Of all the old Lake Shore Clubs.
with the exception Of the two out
casts.
The deal has knocked the pins com
- pletely from under Carney Of Milwau-
" kee and Hilker of Racine, who are ap-
parently left high and dry with fran
chlses that are worth nothing. Her
zog of Manitowoc is also said to have
- been pinched.
~ When the Lake Shore League was
recognized for the summer some
trouble was experienced with the Man
- itoWoc manager, who is said to have
~ claimed the franchise of that town
as personal property to do with as he
desired. Herzog still has his franchise
as have Carney and Hilker, but what
he will do with it is another question,
especially in view of the fact that his
~ old associates in Manitowoc have en-
dorsed the new league and organized
under the name of the Manitowoc Base
Ball Association, to whom franchise
has been given.
~ AS the situation now stands Mil
waukee and Racine are out in the cold,
and while Manitowoc fans are hailing
the new league, Herzog is trying to
w make practical use Of his old Lake
Shore franchise.
ut is claimed that the reason for
the secession of tie other clubs from
w the Lake Shore League was based on
the belief that Racine and Milwaukee,
as travelling organizations, would be
mere loads for the league to carry and
that far better results could be obtained
by recognizing and admitting only
w teams that are able to play in their
home towns.
"'T The new league will consist Of
teams from Chicago, Kenosha, Mani
towoc, Sheboygan, Port Washington
w and Menasha.'

The improvements al the Life Saw

The improvements al the Life Saw
ing Station have been a long time
coming, but the prospects are brighter
than ever before that they will be
made this summer Another delay would
cause the crew to about give-up hope
that anything will ever be done for
them. What should be done here is to
abandon the present station entirely
and erect a commodious station at the
foot Of the north piers about where
the tower for the watch now stands,
but with the showing made in the re-
port Of the customs officer on the bust
ness done at this port in the last few
years, the city may consider itself
lucky to get anything in the way Of
improvements around the harbor.
