Ton, Redmond,
Champion, Killer
of Arctic Game

Thomas Redmond, better known to
the sporting world as Tom Savage, be-
cause he was a half breed, was at one
time the champion hunter of the frozen
lands Of northern Canada. In Septem-
Der Of every year, he would organize
a party of three men, including him.
self, and they would go out on the
hunt One of the three was to tend
camp, another was to carry the dead
game back to camp, and Redmond was
to do the shooting.
In the latter part Of the year 1905.
Tom organized his party. and went
on a six weeks hunt near Dawson,
Canada. It was during this short time
he killed 128 caribou, rs moose, IL
bear, two wolves. and a great number
of grouse and rabbits.
The meat alone of these animals was
worth over $4,000, although he only
used the hind quarters of the animals.
Tom was also one of the finest shots
in the country at that time He al
ways shot 26 caliber gun, with extra
long cartridges. He would shoot one,
cartridge and throw the hull UP in the
air and shoot that hull and SO on with
marvellous accuracy.
Some of the old miners who were
personally acquainted with this Won
der, doubtless remember his old arc
tic dog, which he used to tease
by shooting at while he would be hun
dreds of yards away. He would whistle
for the old dog, and he would &C
curately shoot just between the dogs
legs as he ran towards him. Savage
had a record of having not only killed
a moose at a mile range, but he had
also killed eight of the big fellows
without getting out Of his tracks

In many and various ways has Ell
Paso been brought to the attention OF
the United States in general and es-
pecially In the last few months has the
city become noted, but did you ever stop
to think that for the last two years
Ell Paso has been referred to often by
that portion of the sporting fraternity
that runs to baseball and even among
the bewery newsboys Of New York you
can hear it said: ''Where'd dat guy
come from? He's a good un'." And
the answer Will be ooh, he played in Ell
Paso last year. Some peach, amt he?"
It is noteworthy fact that this sea-
son there are many men who have re-
ported to the professionals who were
seen on the diamonds OF Ell Paso in
1909 and 1910, and especially in the case
of pitchers Klefler, New York Ameri-
cans; Ables, Oakland, CAL. and Ohm
stead, Denver. they have become heroes
in the game. OF course. there are num-
bers who have tried and failed. but a
glance over the field. of sports shows
that there are now officiating before
the world of fandom seven pitchers,
two catchers. one first baseman, one
second baseman, one third baseman. one

lead then another, with Vernon con-
tenting themselves by edgfng closer

into a position where they can start
making a fight for the first position.
The Southern League.
New Orleans seems to be the win
ming team in the Southern league, as
1t still maintains the large lead it
has held throughout the season. lead
ing Its closest opponent by SO points.
The other seven teams are closely
punched and the only feature among
the southerners that appears to be OF
interest, is, who will win second place.
OF course there is always that pos
sibflity that the leaders may take a
sudden slump. but that has never been
characteristic of New Orleans. as for
the last five years they have played
steady game of high class baseball
and it would seem as If the Pelicans
had things their own way for the
1911 sea son.
Dope Works Wrong.
After all is said and done the whole
thing summarizes itself into the fact
that all over the ball world the dope"
is working wrong and the many emer-
gencies and unlocked for contingent
cies that are coming up almost daily
have nearly set the sport writer's on
the firing line crazy and unless mat
tiers regulate themselves into decent
shape it would seem that the repu-
tations OF many follower of the base
ball game is going to tumble into a
bottomless pit
Race But Half Run.
At the present, the race is only
half run and what the end Of the
season will bring forth is one of those
questions of the future over which an
impenetrable veil has been drawn and
about the only thing that one can do
now is to pa iently wait for the lift
ing of the veil because for the first
time in five years in the reading of
the baseball novel, we have gotten to
the middle OF the book and could not
solve the question of which char
acter will be the hero, and the only
consolation one can possibly derive is
by looking wise, keeping mum and next
fall when the curtain falls on the last
act, take refuge in the old excuse. ST

the hunters found the beauty He was
easily a 800 po.nder. so they managed
to carry him down the mountain by
means Of pole, which was cut out OF
the top OF one Of the trees that was
sticking UP through the snow. They
ate his meat for the rest or the time
they were in camp, and saved his skim.
which afterward proved to be the 1arg-
est and finest that had ever been killed
in Alaska After that they had several
exciting trips. one Of which was on
the tenth day OF their stay.
Go ON Another Hunt.
They again climbed to another side
Of the mountain and there found n
bunch of at least ten goats. They had
climbed above them, and knew they
could not run down hill with the &C.
curacy and speed they could run up hill,
so they fired into them The goats
were easily scared. and they began TO
gallop down the mountain side The
first one slid over the bank Of a steep
canyon, and the res. followed him over.
Some Of the party dared not go near
the brink OF the canyon, for 1t was over
1000 feet down to the canyon bed. and
they never saw nor heard of the goats
after that
TOMS First Bear.
1t was in the last few days that Tom,
It was a large cinnamon bear and he
came around the camp every night. but
none of them ever saw him; however
early one morning, Tom got up and
was oiling his Winchester, when he
saw the bear about 100 yards down the
canyon Tom was a little excited at
first, so he awoke the rest of the bunch
and they got their guns loaded ana
slipped around toward him. The guide
fired the first shot and wounded the
bear However, the cinnamon bear is
not a bear to put up a fight unless he
is cOrnered. so he retreated at a lively
trot Tom took this chance, because
you can never kill a bear while he is
facing you. because Of the thickness OF
his skull in front; but he was going
away from them so Tom let the old gun
go, and got the bear right under the
right ear. The bear fell in a big
heap. he had got the old boy, luckily,
in his only vulnerable spot They car
ried him back to camp. and skinned
him and hung the skin over the cave
entrance TO dry, and it also helped 70
keep out the chilling wind. That night
they had a good old fashioned haunch
Toast, and they ate until they could
hold no more
1t was i. in this way the party OF
hunters spent the whole three weeks.
Seven goats and one bear were their
trophies. and after they returned, they
never regretted the trip; they had all
had good time, although one day the
thermometer took q trip down to 6S
below. but the fur skin caps. two pairs
OF sox. and heavy coats kept out most
OF the uncomfortable cold

the stay there. they heard that the sur
rounding country was thick with wild
goats, so one day, after they had been
there about a month, three OF the fell
lows, accompanied by one of the native
guides, donned their snow shoes and
left. However, they had only been gone
about a day when they found them
selves in a thick and binding snow
storm
Frcn the very start, they had been
tramping over snow ranging in depth
from 10 feet up to hundreds OF feet
but in a case like this they had TO use
more than ordinary care not only that
they might be covered. but the main
fear was that they might walk much
out OF the way If they kept going, and
if they dared to stop, it would have
been good night. however, the guide
kept them in the right way, and at the
end of the second day they were in

the way up the mountain when one OF
the party spotted a fine specimen on
a narrow ledge. The hunters circled
around the mountain and came up
where the goat could not see them,
and after an hours hard climbing. they
were above the old fellow and one OF
the party took aim and let him have
couple of shots, at a 200 yard range.
The shots had no more than been fired
when the goat took one mighty jump
and landed on a ledge not over six
inches wide, and ran along this for
about 80 feet, and disappeared. They
