A short time ago the rangers took
the members of the local police force
into camp and made them pay for a
turkey supper for the two organiza-

feel that the shoe will be on the other
foot If the rangers care to go against
the short barrel experts of that asso-
citation. No time is mentioned, as it is
understood that the rangers shall have

that the match will take place in the
very near future.

Clubs

Senator Mccartney of Los Angeles
succeeded in securing the enactment
of senate bill No. 1877, which provides
as follows:
Section 1. A new section is hereby
added to the penal code to be num-
bered ease, to read as follows:
G28e. Every person who at any time
except with hook and line takes, catch
es or kills any California menticirrhus
unlulatus, also known as surf fish, or
any yellow fin or any spot-fin croaker,
is guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall
be punished by fine of not less than
500 nor more than $500, or by i'm
prisonment in the county Jail in the
county in which conviction is had, not
less than twenty nor more than $50

onment. And all fines collected for
any violation of any of the provisions
of this section shall be paid into the
state treasury to the credit of the
fish commission fund.
Sec. 2. This act shall take effect
Immediately.
This bill was framed for the especial
benefit of the rod and reel fishermen,
or sportsmen's clubs, and under its
provisions market fishermen will no
longer be able to market surf fish, yell
low fin or spot-fin croaker.
This bill will kill the beach seine in
dustry and will in effect deprive the
markets and general consumers the
privilege of selling and consuming
these vayieties of food fish.

PART IN SHOOT
|. A. REVOLVER CLUB ENTERS
ASSOCIATION CONTEST
A. q. DOUGLAS CREDITED WITH
BEST SCORE
Marksmen of Angel City Who Have
Had No Experience in Indoor
Matches Make Really Ex-
cellent Scores

The contests of the United States
Revolver association which were held
throughout the United States the
week OF March IA to II, inclusive, were
held in Los Angeles for the first time,
and several of the members of the
Los Angeles Revolver club entered the
"any" revolver championship con-
test. known as match A. The condi-
lions were fifty shots a contestant at
twenty yards, artificial light, five
shots on a target.
The Los Angeles contestants who
tered are A. B. Douglas, l. c. Douglas,
C. w Linder, w. E. Smith and I'll. d.
Thaxter. AS the local entrants were
not accustomed to shooting on a
twenty-yard indoor range, and it being
the first time that any local marksmen
have entered such a contest, the result
was that the scores are not nearly as
good as the scores usually are on
fifty-yard outdoor range.
AS the men were under great disad-
vantage in not having an indoor
range with modern conveniences, and
considering their lack of practice at
twenty yards, the scores under the
circumstances are excellent.
The first contestant was A. B..
Douglas, who shot his score Wednes-
day morning, March II. He made the
highest score of any of the Los An
geles contestants. making APO out of
a possible 500.
c. w. Under shot his score Thurs
day morning, March IS, scoring 4O6
I. C. Douglas shot Friday morning,
March 49, making Az
w. E. Smith and H. D. Thaxter both
shot their scores Saturday afternoon,
March 20, Smith making 412, tying the
score of 1. C. Douglas; Thaxter scored
37s
AS this is the first time that any OF
the local revolver and pistol marks
men have participated in such con-
test they were naturally more ner-
Vous than usual.
The United States Revolver asso-
citation is growing rapidly each year,
the number of contestants are also
increasing very rapidly and great in
terest is being taken in the contests.
Following are the scores made by
the local contestants:

will be applied by the New California
Jockey club under the direction of its
president, Thomas II. Williams, who
believes that there is q fatal flaw In
the bill that the courts will recognize
and that racing will continue as usual
until after the session of the legislature
in 1911, at least. While no official an
nouncement has been made to justify
the statement, there is no question that
the test will go to the courts early in
May and the fate of the sport Will be
decided in the courts and will attract
the deepest interest throughout the
United States, Canada and Mexico. A
decision should be had within a few
months and in ample time for the
jockey clubs to arrange for the meet
ings of 1909-10, if the fight against the
law is successful.
The stake feature this week will be
the Los Angeles Oaks, strictly hen

Horsemen who never before raced in

spring meetings at Beaumont, Houston,
San Antonio and Fort Worth. The
season opens April at Beaumont and
ends at Fort Worth, with unusually
long meetings at all these cities. The
anti-racing law goes into effect in the
early summer, and as the sport always
has attracted remarkable crowds in the
Lone Star state the finale undoubtedly
will be a record-breaker in attendance.
Good purses and several stake features
