pistol twice. Then he turned and made
fur an alleyway, but as he turned they
let him have it. He throwed up his

their hosses-fur they seemed to have

And then things began to happen.
They happened SO quick and with such
a whirl it was all unreal to me shots
and shouts and windows breaking as
they blazed away at the store fronts
all around the square, and orders and

he is not alone of the opinion is indi-
ca ed by the fact that the Oceanic

The steamship company operates

Honolulu fans are also eager for
visits from teams of the states, and no
journey to Australia could be contem-
plated without giving the colonists at

mean the hauling down OF the flag. so

RABBIT SHOOTING
SEASON IN SWING
Hundreds Killed Last Week
Duck Are Still Here
Quail Scarce.

Local rabbit hunters report hun
dreds of cotton tails" killed last week
in this vicinity as the result Of the
snowfall which brough. the nimrods
out in force. Harry Briggs and Carl
Evans returned home yesterday from
4 several days hunting trip in the
vicinity of Boardstown. Each stag
gered under q load of rabbits Briggs
succeeded in shooting big white jack
rabbit species of rabbit which is
rarely seen in this section of the
country.
Duck shooting is also reported still
good. particularly in the Wapsie bot
IONS up the river. Large numbers of
ducks have fallan prey to the guns
of hunters in the bottoms this sea-
son, according to locai sportsmen.
Many hunters have been lured to
the bot oms this season in the hope
of getting a shot at gray fox which
has been seen frequently in that vicin-
ity. A gray fox was shot in the
Wapsie last win'er by farmer who
resides near the bottoms and hunters
believe that the gray fox seen lately
is its mate as the home of the animal
is in the north and he rarely strays
as far south as the central states
Quail and prairie chicken are scarce
this year and very few are being
shot. Squirrels are plentiful and hunt
ers have been bagging a great many.

In Sydney he found a baseball or
ganization, comprising three leagues,
capably conducted by enthusiastic
sportsmen. The leagues are amateur
afairs-the professional game is as
yet unknown-but admissions are
charged and the organization more
han pays the incidenta. expenses OF
operation. One league has eight clubs,
the others six. Regular seasons are
played under schedules similar 10
those in operation in American or
ganized baseball. The best players
are chosen for the teams after try
outs hat might be likened to the
training season in America Nj.
Sphinx was told that in Sydney and
suburbs, where the New South Wales
Baseball associatiou-for that is the
name of the Organization-is in opera
ion, there are 800 young men ami
boys who can play ball They are
"baseballers" 70 use the Austria ian
term, and to be "baseballer" of any
recognized standing the athlete must
be able 70 put up game cha would
not shame him in the ordinary minor
leagues in the states. IN fact, Mr..
Sphinx found that the Australians are
a bi proud Of their "baseballers" and
that fast as Ty Cobb" is claimed for
speedy base runners with just as
much assurance as the American
scout who thinks he has dug up
new wonder.
The three Australian leagues-or
rather the leagues operated under ne
New South Wales Baseball associa-
ton, for Melbourne also has its
leagues-are known respectively as
the District division, which is d senior
league, and the A and B divisions,
which are leagues of players not so
expert in the game The territory from
which patronage is drawn has a popu-
lGtion of about a million. Sydney it
self has a population estimated at
100000, or about that of St Louis.
The District division season opened
May II last year and ended August
10. The A division opened its season
On May II and closed August II. The
B division had a schedule similar to
that of the A division, opening and
closing on the same dates.
In addition to the regular schedules
here was field day" which prob
/ ably compares to our own world S
! series.

of a shock when he was told that the
Australians had maintained a baseball
/ organization for Is years; that the
! various leagues operated had never

! that with the exception of one or two
( bad seasons, the end of the schedule
found money in the treasury. He had
to admit the Australians had some
thing on their American minor league
cousins, but he "wised up" to the sit
uation when he learned that the games
are played by amateurs, the players
| getting no pay, but being it is fol
sheer love Of the sport. He attended
a business meeting of the baseball as
sociatien, had the pleasure of giving
them some information on how the
game is operated in America and met
an imposing list OF officials, including
