WITH quail and duck seasons but
wv two weeks distant the local
sporting goods houses are being
swamped with inquiries as to where one
may obtain a good days shooting with
in a few miles of Los Angeles. The
answers received vary widely as to
the spot where valley quail are numer-
Gus and where the novice may obtain
a fair bag by a few hours shoot. Of
one thing may he who contemplates a
few hours of California's most delight
full outdoor sport rest assured. And
that is that every wash and mesa
within a few hours ride of the Angel
city will have it's full quota of hunters
on the morning of October 1. For first
class shooting a trip of at least two
days is necessary. In the Coachella
valley, the Elsnore region, as in hun
dred and one other places, are the birds
abundant.
For the benefit of those who are un-
able to get away from the grind for
more than a day, 1t may be truthfully
said that in every locality quail are
much more abundant than last year.
The sportsman who shoots through any
of the sage brush and cactus of the
San Fernando valley, the quail hunt
ers' stamping grounds, should succeed
in making a fair kill, although he will
undoubtedly have to work for every
bird he drops. In such a country as
this, where hunters are numerous and
birds are shy, a good dog is an invalu-
able accessory. Frequently dog will
point a dozen birds within a few rods
of each other where the hunter on
foot would never see a feather. Quail
are unusually wary in this respect and
few hours shooting is all that is
necessary to effectually scatter the
birds, and for hours will they lie SO
close that it is necessary to literally
kick them from their hiding places.
Frequently the hunter who knows
that he is the first person on the
ground for the initial day of the open
season finds the birds unusually shy
and wary. Perhaps he will Sc a flaunt-
ing topknot lodging through the brush
rods in front of him, or lone bird will
rise silently forty or fifty yards away.
While some attribute this to the in
telligence of the quail 1t Is a question
whether or not this may not be largely
laid to the rabbit CD hunters who go
abroad during the month Of September.
In every covert where July and August
coVeys of half-grown quail were found
the ground Is frequently covered with
fresh, empty Shells Sometimes as many
as a dozen shells viii be seen, all within
a few rods Of each other. Can 1t be
that the hunter. whoever he was, came
upon a convention of bunnies? Or did
he find a covey of tame quail, large,
fat and plump, and safe in the knowl-
edge that the chances were 100 to In
favor Of his getting away with the
goods, slaughter them as they ran down
the rabbit runaway ahead Of him2

Among the Boxers

Jack Burns and Jack Sieberg were
matched yesterday by Manager Mecca
rev of the Pacific Athletic club for a
ten-round contest at McCareys paVil-
ion on the evening Of Tuesday, Septem-
ber 2S. Sieberg sent in his acceptance

Unexpectedly shattered this week, all

fish, when finally gaffed after a hard
fight, was found to have been attacked
by a shark, and for this reason the
catch was disqualified by the Tuna
club.

COUNTRY wide-the sporting pages
were crammed with daily ac-
~ cunts of the latest developments
In the Ketchel- Langford controversy.
Sans confidence called for special
story. Ketchel's supreme belief in
victory brought out another. The
daily training of each was duly chron-
icled. and the New Workers were be-
gufled into believing that the greatest
middleweight fight of the decade was
about to be witnessed. Then the bot
tom dropped out of everything. Ihe
roof caved in, the sides gace way, and
the house of dreams was exposed in
q hideous- looking reality. There is
nothing in the recent Langford-
Ketchel affair that leaves anyone
connected with it any reason for salts
faction. The writer predicted month
ago that this bout would not take place
as scheduled. 1t is said-mark you,
it is said-that the law stepped in and
broke I'D the match. But there is no
reason to believe that the Britt-Ketch9l
combination ever had any intention OF
completing the terms of the published
agreement to fight Sam Langford.
Ketchel side-stepped the Boston Won
der before. Though the pugilistic
world acclaims Stanley as one of the
greatest of modern gladiators, Ketchel
knows that in Langford he would
meet a man who can step as fast, un-
wind as terrific a punch, and clearly
give him cards and spades as far as
cleverness is concerned.
The most significant part of the mat
ter is the fact noted by eastern spo t
ing critics that Ketchel appeared for
training with a land of flesh around
his mid-section denoting lack of eXer-
else, and he looked little like the man
who battled Papke into submission in
the first bloody Colma struggle. w /
lus Britt is the king of hashy press
agents. He gets news out of the pub
lie press by engineering stunts that
make the ordinary digger for advertis-
ing copy look like a. selling-plater in
a stake engagement. But W.llus has

game throughout the afternoon. He
made two of the finest foul catches of
the year, running away back of his
place to the left field bleacher, and
putting out Brashear and Bernard. In
the box in the eighth, Zeider showed a
world of speed in his first mound work
of the year Rollie is a player of re-
markable all-round ability, which the
big leagues were not slow in recog-
nizing.
Bernie Bernard has reconsidered his
decision to wind up his baseball
career Sunday. He will play next
week with the Vernonites against
Sacramento and then will retire from
the game.
Mott played an unusually brilliant
game at third. H figured in couple
of speedy assists and made clever
play in the sixth that saved pos
sibie score, when he caught Miller
at second by spearing Mohler's drive
one-handed.
Bull" Durham has the goods, de-
spite his defeat and retirement before
the end of the game. He was puz-
zling assortment of curves, and San
Francisco probably will find him
greatly improved next season.
Homer Plake, a former infeld star,
who has been playing with the Nc
Cormicks team, appeared on the Yer
non bench yesterday. Plal1e is a good
shortstop and a phenomenal hitter,
and may be placed at short by Hogan
for the remainder of the season.
Hogan's hospital list is rivaling that
of Frank Dillon. Devereaux and
Breckenridge are on the bench, suf-
fering from sprained tendons that may
keep than out of the game for a week.
Eagan is recovering from bad cold
and Catcher Browns bad wrist is
