PHEASANT CAUGHT IN NET
Tennis Players Find Bird Dead and
Enjoy a Feast Out of
Season.

New York.--Four New York men
who left here about ten days ago for
a holiday at golf got back yesterday
with tale of pheasant eaten out
of season.
S. l.. Snowden, bond broker; A. A.
Spriggs, a stock broker; T. M. Logan,
a manufacturer, and w. P. De Saus-
sure. Jr., of the McAlpin, ate the
pheasant. According to Mr.. De Saus-
sure. the four golfers hid themselves
at Brick Hill Falls, ~ j., and played
golf so hard that on last Wednesday
they were glad to try tennis for a
time. At critical point in the game
there was a sudden whirring sound in
the brush behind Mr.. De Saussure and
his partner, and big bird flashed past
them and dashed itself into the tennis
net. All the players rushed to see
what it was, and found that it was a
hen pheasant 1t had broken its neck
in the net
Knowing the open season had not
begun. the four men discussed seri-
ously whether it was lawful to eat the
bird. The upshot was that 1t made
full breakfast for the four.

FAv0RS DECISIONS IN BOXING
Chairman of New York State Athletic

Fred A Wenck, the new chairman
of the New York state athletic com
mission. declares that he is in favor
Of decisions in boxing bouts, but that
he wants to feel his way first to make
sure they will be for the benefit of
the game.
Il have an idea that decisions
would greatly help boxing here
abouts." declared Wenck. In fact, as
far as l am concerned, 1 am heartily
in favor of having referees announce
a verdict. There are all kinds of good
reasons why decisions should be Civ
en-, but there are some good reasons
why they should not be. That is, the
general opinion is that with decisions
gambling clique would spring up
that would in time cause the death of
the sport, as it has in the past, and
Of course, anything that might endan-
ger the great pastime is to be avoided
But l know this much: In the days
when gambling killed boxing there
wasn't any state commission to super
wise matters. If we should allow de-
cisions nowadays and referees are
bribed or attempts are made to bride
them it would be up to the commits
sion to bar the guilty ones out of

RACING THRIVES IN FRANCE
Horrors of War Not Allowed to Inter.
fere With Holiday Sports
Many Race Meetings.

That the people OF France are not
allowing the horrors of war to inter
fere with a few holiday pursuits, is
apparent from the stories told by
Homecoming Americans.
Thomas Welsh. the well-known
trainer of thoroughbreds. who is at
Saratoga, n. Y, after several years in
the French republic, where he trained
the horses of Joseph E. Widener Of
Philadelphia, tells a remarkable story
about sport during these stirring
times. He states that on July IA and
the Sundays following there were 240
race meetings IN France
This is surely remarkable when it
is taken into consideration that it is
possible for the people over there to
show interest in so many affairs and
have enough horses to enter them in
240 race meetings. when the country
is being secured for animals for use
at the front.
In England, too. there has been lit
tie diminution of public interest in
sporting events At a mammoth
sports carnival in September. $4,000
people attended. despite the fact that
it rained before and while the program
was being run of.

McDevitt Driving Peter Mac.

The following of thoroughbred and
trotter by common consent give the
palm to the former when it comes to
furnishing the spectacular, but the ad-
mirers OF the light harness horse are
sound in their claim that the trotter
yields more all around enjoyment than
the galloper.
Take, for example, the experience
of Capt. David Shaw of Cleveland, O..
who owned some of the fastest cam.
paigners on the trotting turf and who
is at present the possessor Of a young
stallion which many horsemen of re.

2:O6A, was Lillian R.. 2:06A, a mare
that won many bruising contests for
her owner, while his sire is Peter the
Great, 2:O7A.
Another man of wealth who has
found health and solace in the breed,

horses is Chester w. Lassen of Whit
