THE TURKEY BUzzARD OuTUWED.

The buzzard in Louisiana has been
outlowed
The Louisiana State Live Stock SAM
tary Board raised the alarm, Attorney
General Pleasant pointed the way, and
the State Conservation Commission has
issued the formal declaration of war.
By the official resolution the Conserva-
ton Commission has declared that the
ancient and honorable turkey buzzard is
transmitter of disease and must go.
Several weeks ago Secretary Flower Of
the Live Stock Sanitary Board addressed
a letter to Attorney General Pleasant ask
ing him if there was any law protecting
the buzzard. The attorney general has
replied there is not, and says:
Gin regard to the rights of the turkey
buzzard in this State, beg to advise that
have carefully examined the law, and
while do not find any measure protect
ing the buzzard by name or singing him
out for protection, yet am bound to
conclude he would fall into the class re-
ferred to in Act No. 1873 of 1906. This
act seems to cover all birds not game
birds.
eff the buzzard is bird, it certainly
falls in the non-game class, and is pro-
tected by that act.
However, there is provision in Act
No. 204 of 1912 which authorizes the
conservation commission to give permits
sion for the destruction of any species
Of birds protected by law, il such birdi
shall at any time, in any locality, be

The State Conservation Commission
was appealed to, and the destruction o
the turkey buzzard authorized in the fol
lowing resolution:

HEN0CH,
AND HOOGS LEFT
TODAY'S. MATCH
At Beretania, 4 p. m.-Hen0eh
VS.. Eklnnd.

Three men are left in the Castle cup
tournament, and only one match will
be played today, the winner getting in
to the final round, where he will meet
W. Hoogs. The finals are scheduled
for tomorrow afternoon at o'clock,
and no matter how today's contest
comes out, a fast final is assured.
Yesterday Eklund beat 0'Dowda 6-2,
GA, and Henoch disposed of K. B.
Barnes in hard-fought three-set
match, the latter being a semi-final,
requiring three out of five sets. The
score was 6-3, GA, 11-9.
Eklund and his former team-mate
played early in the afternoon, the idea
being that the winner was to play off
the semi-fina with Henoch later.
O'DOyda was willing to do this had he
won, but Eklund feared that he would
be too tired to do himself Justice The
Ore-match-a-day limit set by some of
the local players is rather amusing,
when one considers the way players
are worked in mainland tournaments.
Where singles, doubles and possibly
mixed doubles are run off at the same
time, it is not unusual for "a PLAYER to
be called on for three or seyen four

and the eighteen games which Eklund
played with O'Dowda should have sery-
