Panama Locks Have Nothing to Fear
From Enemy's Fleet.
Secret tests recently made by the
third division of the Atlantic battle
ship feet. under command of Rear Ad-
miral Usher, are said to have disclosed
the fact that the Panama canal virtu-
ally has nothing to fear from the fire
Of an enemy's feet SO far as the Gatun
and other important locks are con-
cerned.
The tests, started last winter, are
declared to have developed the fact
that the feet could not determine the
location of the GRtun lock.
1t also is intimated that the data
made public and supposed to give the
topography of the canal were purpose
ly inaccurate. In addition. 1t was dis
covered that the hills intervening rem
dered the locks almost immune from
damage by bombardment from sea.
Extension of the hreakwater on the
Atlantic side has made 1t possible to
mount long range guns so far out that
the approach of an enemy's feet could
readily be checked. Elaborate plans
also for the mining of the approaches

Pacific sides already have been COM

INFORMATION
Given By Game Warden Rel.
alive To Licenses

A beautiful variety in hunters
badges will result II hunters take the
suggestion of the state game warden,
who announces that because there
was no provision for the expense of
furnishing the badges, no badges will
be furnished. Hunters who applied
for licenses early were told that the
badges had not yet been received. Up
to date they have not come and now
it is announced that the nimrods will
have to furnish themselves with
homemade badges.
John G. Speaks, chief game ward
en- of the state of Ohio, in response
to an inquiry has forwarded a letter
which deals with number of puz-
zling points in the law and on which
rulings are given by the chief warden.
They will be OF interest to hunters
in general.
Licenses may be issued to minors.
If under 16 years of age, minors,
must, while hunting, be accompanied
by parents or other persons in loco

courts may issue licenses to them.

tered by a notary or other authoriz'
ed official. Resident licenses may be
issued to any citizen of the United
States who is a resident of Ohio with
out regard to the county from which
he comes or the township.
Licenses must be procured before

Has Hugh Duffy
Inside knowledge:

Portland. Me- Augu. 7.-Portland's
future in baseball was the topic of
conversation among the fans, yester-
day, rather than the pennant pros
poets of the Portland team. which
have been temporarily dampened
Manager Duffy's apparently authori
tative announcement that he wishes to
sell his franchise in this city set
everybody who is Interested in base
ball going, and manifold were the
surmises, theories and forecasts
There is no doubt but that Duffy
will readily find a purchaser for his
team if he will accept any reasonable
price, providing there is sufficient as
surance that there will be stable
league, another year. Portland has
demonstrated that it will support
baseball and support il as we'll as any
minor league city in the country An
other year a team will not, perhaps
do as well as Duffy has this, but the
fact that there las not been a particle
or falling off in the attendance since
the season opened. but that it has
gained rather than otherwise. is al
most absolute proof that the game
may be made profitable here perma-
nently
1t has been given out that Mr..
Duffy will make $t5.o00 in Portland,
this season, and if these figures are
correct he could surely make $4,000
and possibly $4,000 another season.
This is pretty good thing to throw
up and all kind of guesses are being
hazafded as to why the Portland man
aeer wants to cut loose from such d
generous source of revenue.
OF course the first suspicion raised
IN the minds of those who are famil-
lar with baseball affairs was that the
Portland manager possessed some in
side knowledge which was not en-
couraging regarding the stability Of
the league. There have been all kinds
OF stories afioat of possible deals and
reimbursement of circuits but base
bail gossip is so uncertain that, at
this distance, it is pretty hard to tell
on what to place reliance. one of the
tales has been that one or possibly
Two cities would be transferred to the
international League. one of these
cities is Worcester and the other Low
ell. With three places already gone
bad and the leaguge magnates on the
hunt for their successors, the loss of
Worcester and Lowell would be well
nigh fatal. New Bedford. Fall River
and Brockton will probably be pass
ed up anyhow. but with the northern
cities remaining their places could be
probably acceptably filed. but the
league could not lose many more.
