There has been a large amount of
discussion lately over the protection
of migratory birds by the govern
.ment and articles have been sent out
from Washington to the effect that
it would be against the federal laws
to kin duck or geese. This is a mis-
taken idea, as government bulletins
issued covering the question show
that law has been proposed to this
effect but has not been placed in
effect and probably never will to
cover this section.
One of the pamphlets covering the
matter says, Laws for the protec.
ton of migratory birds hitherto en-
acted have usually provided long
open seasons and have been framed
mainly in the interests of the hunt
ers rather than the game. In pre-
pairing the regulations under the fed
eral law for the protection of mi
gratory birds, an effort has beer

reasonable limits, to provide hunt

game is most abundant and in the
best condition, and in all cases to
give the doubt to the bird Recog-
nlzing the fact that many species of
shore birds and some of the water
fowl have diminished to point
where they are approaching extinc-

before talking about barring blacks
from competition in the future
A negro, Jack Johnson, is in posses
sion of the heavyweight championship
TODAY and will be until some one takes
il from him in honorable competition in
the ring, or he decides to retire from
the game before being defeated. Any
attempt to declares Johnson out of it

of champion is positively absurd

about keeping it to ourselves in the

first. And after a white man mas
proved himself the best boxer in the
world I. for one, will be only too glad
to join those who believe that the Two
races SHOULD be kept apart in the ring
as in other walks of life. But to quit
now would be simply logging II and
tantamount to a confession that the
blacks are superior physically ana
mentally. And I hardly believe that,

Have eBabied'' HeavyweiShts.
We have "babied" our white heavy
weights altogether too much the lSss
few wears. Why is a white hope" and
of what earthly use is he if not allowed
to do any white hoping? The result of
the Johnson effries fight at Reno IS
mainly responsible for the large sup
DIV of white heaVleS IN the game To-
day, and from the abundance of ma
terial it looks as If there might be
chance to develop a heavyweight good
enough to hold his own with. or even
defeat, the best of the blacks However,
if the mixed" bout is to be taboOed,
how are we to accomplish that which
we set out to do several years ago
when the white mans cOlOrs were
trailed in the dust and for the first time
in the history of the sport in this coun-
try a negro was elevated to the pre-
mier position in the prize ring2
As il is now whenever the subject
of matching Smith or any other white
heavy with LangfOrd. Jeanette or
Johnson is preached the critics fighC
the battle in their newspapers before
the articles are signed And with dis
aster to the pale face, Of course. If
.Gunboat' Smith had met and defeated
LangfOrd there would be no thanks
due to the boxing critics, who went out
of their way to explain how such mem
as LangfOrd and Jeanette outclass the
best Of the whites, and that an attempt
on the part of any of our big men to
defeat any of the negroes would be fu-
tile. In other words, white fighters
task is not made any too easy these
days The critics have grown so accus-
toned to magnifying the ability of. the
blacks that they have completely lost
sight of the fact that the white heavies
have been making rapid strides for

Fighters Are Human.
Fighters are human beings, although
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-10-05

some people do not seem to think so.
Every man likes to be encouraged in
whatever direction his ambition may
lie 1t is largely the fault of socalled
experts and fight critics that the rate
of progress in the ranks of the white
hopes" has not been as rapid as we may
have liked. As kids at school We are
taught that this IS a great nation, that
our ancestors were brave men, that our
country leads the world, etc. Every
method is adopted to instil the youth
with courage and love of country and
to make him believe that the privilege
of living within its borders and Of
fighting in defence of its institutions
are the highest hOnors man can be
given.
White Men Have Glass.
This is not a lecture or anything like
that But if those VINO are constantly
bewailing the lack of class among the
whites would sing different tune &C
casionally, but might be that it would
help the cause along more than they
realize 1t is not fair to say that the
white heavyWeights of today have no
class at all and that the leading ne
gro fighters would make short of them
in the ring How do we know? It IS SO
long since we have seen what we might
call good" heavy in action, that it
is almost impossible for US to remem
Der by what standard we should meas
ure the abilities of the present crop.
GunbOat' Smith made a big hit with
me when he challenged Sam LanSfOrd.
1t satisfied me he is made of the right
sort of stuff-that he has the heart of
a champion even if his physique or lin
tied skill keeps him from ever getting
to the top. The mere fact that a white
fighter assumed the aggressive in the
matter of challenging is a good sign
and indicates we are progressing.
Negroes Reign Ending.
My opinion is that the reign of the
negro in pugilism is drawing near its
end Recent performances of LangfOrd
and Jeanette, the star negro heavies in
this country, have been anything but
remarkable, and as for Jack Johnson
it is extremely doubtful if he will ever
again enter the ring unless necessity
cOmpels.
While I would not go so far as to say
that "GunbOat' Smith would have beat
en- Langford had they clashed last
week / do not hesitate to express the
opinion that he would have given
Langford the hardest battle he has had
in several years. Jim Buckley Smiths
manager. is far from eligible for the
nut factory" still he believes the Gun
boat" can stop LangfOrd inside of 10
rounds.
And there are few other good
judges who Will string along on the
same proposition even though their
standing in the world of sport does not
give them prominence in the newsDa-
pers that many socalled experts are &C
corded.
