CAMPERS SECURE FINEST
FOREST RESERVE PASTURE

The number of persons who spend
their summer vacations within the ma
tional forests is growing so rapidly,
says the forest service, that the ques-
tion of providing suitable p~asturage
for their saddle and pack animals is
becoming a problem. Campers natur-
ally seek the spots where water is
close at hand apd where horse feed
is abundant, in the hope that their
stock will not be tempted to steal
away in the night in search of more
tempting p%asturage. In order to pro
vide such spots the forest service
must set aside limited areas from
which sheep and cattle are excluded.
Tn many instances, particularly in
the state of California, the forest ser
vice and the stockgrowers have co
operated in constructing small pas
lures for the use of tourists, who have
thus been enabled to hold their stock
on choice feed within enclosures with
out any cost or inconvenience. The
aggregate acreage of forest land set
aside for the use of campers is con
siderable, and it appreeiably reduces
the mount of land available for the
pasturage of sheep and cattle, but
presumably the loss is more than off
set by the added enjoyment of the
visitors to the forests. There is this
difference, however, sto~ckgrowers pay
a fee for grazing their sheep or eat
tie, while the campers secure free
pasturage.
But with the construction of pas
lures for campers use a new difficulty
has arisen. The campers display a
tendency to concentrate in the neigh
borhood of the pastures, and to hold
their stock within the fenced areas
until the enclosures are entirely de
nuded of vegetation. In some in
stances it is pointed out that large
parties occupy choice meadow pas
lures and remain there until the feed
is completely exhausted. thus depriv-
ing later visitors of opportunity to
use the pasture. While the forest ser
vice is reluctant to impose any I'M
necessary restrictions upon the free
use Of the pastures, forest officers are
beginning to think that some form of
regulation will nave to be required,

nished most thoughtful men would
concede; and the plan has the peculiar
value of being susceptible of indef-
mite extension in case the results
should be found to justify it.

OUT-OF-TOWN MEN
ENTERED IN SHOOT
Large Crowd Is Expected to
Witness Tournament
Tomorrow.

Practically all arrangements have
match which will be held at the Rich
mond Gun club grounds on Wednes-
day The program consists of $50 bird
targets to be shot, and liberal prizes
for the winners are offered.
The shoot will be held under the
jack-rabbit system. Had the interstate
association known of the prospective
contest here, $3.50 would have been
added to the fund to be divided into
prize money. Because the associa-
ton did not know the jack-rabbit sys-
tenn will be followed. BY this arrange
ment the amateur shooter who fails to
make a remarkable showing does not
lose the money he would under diff
ferent system.
Approximately fifty shooters will be
on hand to participate in the contests.
Among them will be w. II. Veitmeyer
of indianapolis, who demonstrates for
the DUPONT Powder company; James
Barr of indianapolis, who represents
the Union Metallic Cartridge company,
and Charles Young of Springfield, O.,
who demonstrates for the Peters Cart
ridge company of Cincinnati, besides
other well-knoWn marksmen.
At the most ten local shots will en-
ter for the events, the others being
out-of-town men. An entry fee of SIS
is charged. The shoot will begin
promptly at 10 o'clock Persons de-
string to enter or witness the events
must take Ohio Electric cars and get
off at Stop no There will be all
standard loads of shells on the ground,
and dinner will be served at noon.
The comfort of the spectators will be
arranged for in every way possible.
The Richmond Gun club has mailed
eight hundred invitations to persons
in Richmond and other cities, and it
is expected a large majority of this
number will be present to witness the
event.

HOT LINERS
OFF THE BAT

The Giants are happy today. The
st. Louis hoodoo has been overcome
and they have now won more games
than they have lost from every club
in the league.
Hooks" Wiltse tried to pitch his
team mates to victory, but was forced
to give up in the fourth and Doc"
Crandall pulled the game out of the
fire.
With splendid support behind him
Potcher Seaton twirled the Phillies to
another victory over the Reds.
Refusal to obey orders is given as
the reason why Roger Bresnahan,
erstwhile Giant backstop and Cardi-
mails manager, has been benched by
Manager Evers of the Cubs.
Rumor has it that Ty Coob wants to
shake the dust of Detroit, but it not
probable that the Tigers will let the
Georgia Peach get away.
Coming from behind, the Superbas
won the final game from the Pirates.
Twenty-Five players took part in the
farce.
Opportune hitting proved too much
for the Braves, and the Cubs romped
home easy winners.
Few Yankees got on bases in Jungle
town, and the Tigers won the second
game of the series
Although wild, Banding kept the
Red Sox hits well scattered, the Maps
drove Moseley from the mound early
in the game, and the Maps won easily
The Senators again defeated the
White Sox. Walter Johnson pitched.
That's the reason.
One busy inning, the sixth, when
the Athletics hammered in seven runs,
proved the undoing of the Browns.

In a ten inning game at this place
Sunday afternoon the Richmond Maps
defeated the Fountain City team by
score of 8 to 7. The game was

inning when Fountain City scored
three runs on a long hit by Mercer

home run when caught at the
plate. The visitors scored the win
ming run in the tenth inning, blanking
