HUNTERS OF DUCKS
FIND POOR SPORT
Best Part of the Season Is
Over for the City Dwelling
SpOrfSmen
BY FRANK O'DONNELL

Indifferent success and generally
poor sport attended the efforts OF duck
hunters last week and the net results
of the weeks shooting tended to verify
the opinions previously expressed to
the effect that the best part of the sea-
son was over as far as the majority of
city dwelling sportsmen was con-
cerned
The best sport was had on the over
flowed areas of the Sacramento river,
but even there visiting hunters could
not accomplish much without the serv-
Ices of natives familiar with the
country and the habits of the ducks.
Ed Schultz and Clarence Nauman had
a Saturday and Sunday shoot near
knights Landing. They killed limit
strings of canvasbacks Saturday after-
noon and accounted for full bags or
mallard and sprig Sunday morning DR..
Ethan Smith was at Antioch with sew
eral friends and every member of his
party had good shoot, the doctors
personal bag containing seven different
species of the broadbills.
The Suisun and Sonoma marshes were
practically deserted by both ducks ana
hunters. A few shooters tried the
Pringle and Cook ponds on the Suisun
bog, where small strings were occa-
slonally obtained. James Jones shot
alone near Collinsville and was for
mallards. Jones also killed one ruddy
duck and as he heard that this species
of wild fowl was popular with eastern
eplcures he decided to experiment with
1t. He had it cooked and served, but
he baked when it came to eating it.
The odor was enough for him. he said.
There was not much doing on To-
males bay. G. ID. Staples and w. M.
Davy were on the bay early in the
week and found sport very poor, their
joint kill being a small one.
The San Pablo shore blinds were Wis
tied by a few sportsmen, who did not
find the cans" or bluebills working
any too well. Ray Mecchi and Charles
Abble were two who did fairly, getting
about 35 between them.
Some fair sport was found on the
east shore of the lower bay. Pete
Laustanou and a friend bagged limits
of spoonbills on the Pastime club pre-
serve, and George Franzen had similar
luck on the Continental salt ponds
The preserves in the Los Banos
country of the San Joaquin valley did
not come in for much attention, for it
was well known that the ducks were
scattered over the over1ows. Some
shooters happened to strike it lucky,
however. Among the fortunate ones
We're Ned Bosqui j. b. Coleman, Joe
Harlan and Jack Harpman. This quar-
tet shot on the Field and Tule club
grounds during heavy rainstorm last
Sunday and got fun bags of big ducks,
principally sprig George Jackson of
the Los Banos club also had a good
shoot last Sunday. Frank H. Bond,
Walter Wood and Jack Buck are in the
valley today shooting over the In
gomar ponds.
There were no limit bags killed on
the Empire grounds at Elkhorn Sun
day. Eight members were out, and
Charles Laing was high gun with 20
ducks, while Floyd S. judah, one of the
clubs crack shots, had to be satisfied
with 90. Billy Hillegas shot on the
ranch of relative at the Blkhorn slough
and was we'll paid for his trouble, al
though he could get nothing but spoon
bills some days.

Coast League Powers Will
Meet Tomorrow


The directors of the Pacific Coast
league will gather in a special session
in the st. Francis hotel on Monday
evening, when several matters of inn
portance will be taken up. The call
was issued last night by President
Thomas f. Graham.
1t is likely that the proposed changes
in the schedule of the Coast and State
league calendars will be taken up, dis
cussed and passed upon. There is still
a question as to the Tuesday games in
this city and the Thursday games on
the diamond across the bay.
Il do not think that the Long incl
dent win come up at ALL says Gra-
ham. II can see no reason why we
should choose successor to our pres
ent secretary. He has always been on
the job, and he has always done his
work to the satisfaction of everybody.
Personally, L want it distinctly under
stood that / am in favor of keeping
Long right where he is:;'
1t is expected that Henry Berry VIII
come up from Los Angeles to attend.
Berry is the man who started the talk
of removing Long, and it remains to
be seen what action he will take In the
matter. Judge McCredie IS away in
the east, so there is no chance of his
being present, though WAIVER McCre-
die. the mana ger of the Beavers, may
come from Portland to cast, his vote.

yearly salary.

race. The horse broke the track rec
ord for seven furlongs today. knight
Deck started for the first time in the
Bedwell colors and made a new track
record for a mile and sixteenth in
LAS As, beating a good field. Lee was
on hand looking for revenge and bid
up the horse S400, which was more
than the purse amounted to. Bedwell
had big bet down, however, and won
out on the horse.

By BOB SHAND

The Golden Gate revolver team, which
represents San Francisco in the United
States revolver league, met the Portland
team in indoor telegraph match
Thursday evening. The locals shot
below form, making a total of only
1,O74, the smallest score the team has
made in the competition. 1t is not ex-
pected however that the Oregon shoot
ers will win the match, inasmuch as
the webfeet have never made a better
score than 1850. The Portland total
has not yet been received, but the re-
suit is causing the local shooters no
anxiety. In the shoot against the Mel
vile, ILL.,, team a week ago Thursday
the locals won easily by a score of
1,132 to $40. Following are the indi-
vidual scores made against Portland:
r. Prentys, 45. AZ. "A. AZ. 46-224

Rupture Quickly Cured
No Charge if You Don't Get Relief

Automatic Massa ge Treatment viii
cure you completely in a few
months to a year or so.
The Cluthe Truss with Automatic
Massage Treatment has cured some
of the worst Gases in history.
1t has cured men and women over
20, so and 80 years old-people who
had been ruptured from 20 to 20
years-people who had worn dozens
of other trusses in vain.
NO RISK WHATEVER
We know that you who have worn
other trusses will incline to doubt
these statements. But please give
yourself the benefit of all doubts
Let the Cluthe Truss itself prove
all that we say. Try it at our risk.
No matter how bad your rupture
may be. we guarantee the Cluthe
Truss to hold it in place. If it
doesn't we don't want you to pay
us a penny.
FREE BOOK TELLS
We have written a book-cloth
bound-which sums up all that we
have learned about rupture in forty
years of experience-in the treat
ment and cure of over 10000 cases.
This book explains how a rubber
band around your waist does as
much good as some trusses
1t exposes the fraud behind some
of the advertised methods" 1t
puts YOU on guard against throwing
money away. 1t explains about
operations.

your pocket if a trial of the Cluthe
Truss with Automatic Massage
Treatment doesn't result in immense
relief. We don't want a cent of
your money unless this Truss does
you world of good.
The Cluthe Truss with Automatic
Massage Treatment is entirely un-
like any other truss ever made.
There is no belt, no leg straps, no
springs, no harness of any kind
whatever Nothing at all about 1T
that can pinch, bind, chafe or cut.
YOUR RUPTURE CAN'T COME OUT
You'll feel a. whole lot stronger
the minute you put this Truss on.
Your rupture will never again come
out.
And after the FIRST few days-after
it overcomes the soreness caused
by the truss you now wear-youll
never suffer another moments dis
comfort.
Though you lift and push and
strain with all your might, the
Cluthe Truss will hold your rupture
securely in place. Think of that
you who now have to put your rup-
ture back perhaps DOZENS of times
a day-you who now wear trusses
that cause you constant torture.
AUTOMATICe MASSAGE TREAT
MENT
The Cluthe Truss automatically
gives a wonderfully beneficial mas
sage treatment.
1t has Automatic Holding Pads.
They are lf-regulating-sel -self-ad-
iusting to every movement you
make. That is why it is utterly inn
possible to force these pads out OF
position.
No matter how much you lift or
strain. there is always proper sup
port for your rupture.
And these Automatic Holding Pads
automatically massage the weak
ened muscles at the rupture open
ing until they are strong and sound.
This massaging does for these mus
cles what exercise does for the arms
or legs. That is how the Cluthe
Truss can cure rupture after
everything else has failed even to
give relief.
CURES IN SHORT TIME
When you wear a Cluthe Truss
you can do any work that you could
do if you weren't ruptured.

bad case, the Cluthe Truss with
