Noah Brusso of PaWtucket went two
fast six round bouts to good ORA W

but Brussels cleverness kept him out
of trouble. Joe Stevens of New
Haven slightly shaded Eddie Trem-
blay of Bangor in six rounds. But
Anderson of Boston had slightly the
better of Billy Johnson of Brewer in
six rounds. More than 1000 people
saw the show, which was entirely sat
isfactory.
AL Shubert of New Bedford won
from Kid Goodman of New York in
the 12-round main bout Thursday
night at Lawrence. Goodman substi-
tuted for Jimmy Murray and put up
a very creditable fight. He made
Shubert step at his fastest to win. The
little bearcat from New Bedford
fought his usual rushing, trying fight
and had a good lead at the finish. Kid
Thomas of Lawrence won from Young

like every other branch Of public ser
vice, has had its difficulties in making
1t clear that they are working solely
for the taxpayers Of the State and in
the interests Of all.
In this respect 1t is noteworthy that
the Worcester County Fish and Game
Association. the South Worcester
County Fish and Game Association.
the Fitchburg Sportsmen's Club. the
Clinton Gun Club and the other kim
dred organizations in the county again
this year maintained the standard Of
efficiency that they have set in previ-
GUS years. In reality they arN an adj
junct of the Fish and Game Commas
sion itself.
First Of all these organizations file
their applications early every year. Not
a detail is left to chance. They know
exactly the needs of the ponds,
streams and cover in which they hunt
Their knowledge is not merely that of
experience. 1t is based also on scien-
tific study.
Distributing tho Fry
So that when the fry, for instance,
which will soon be on their way to ap-
plicants reach the various destinations,
the Fish and Game Commission is as
sured of this being placed as system
atically and scientifically as they
would be by their own representatives.
Motor trucks meet the trains, the fish,
ermen who are on hand know where
and how to dispose of the fry.
No longer does fish and game legis-
lation go through House and Senate on
Beacon hill, with sportsmen sitting
back and twirling their thumbs while
their own interests suffer. Indeed,
any hearing on fish and game sees
notable array Of representative men
assembled on behalf of their fellow
sportsmen. They are the business men
who are familiar with the commercial
phases Of fish and game questions and
lawyers who can argue the legal
points. All sacrifice time and money
by their presence.
Deer continue to be reported as be-
ing chased by dogs in nearly every
county of the state. Deputy wardens
tell of finding bucks and does carrying
fawn. torn to pieces. The dogs usual
ly kill their quarry or drive them into
a lake to be drowned, as recently at
birmingham. In many instances, how
ever. a shot is necessary to put the an
imal out Of misery.

The Navy Of the United States.

To large extent, the defense of the
United States against invasion de-
ponds upon it's coast artillery. In an
article on the Navy Of the United
States published in The American
Boy Magazine. it is shown that even
Chesapeake Bay, which gives access to
Baltimore and Washington, is unfor-
titled, although this fact of prepared
ness was pointed out in report made
ten years ago. The article says in
part:
According to the reports of the
Chief of Ordnance and of the officer
following deficiencies existed /. year
ago:
1. The coast artillery was short five
hundred and sixtyfour officers and
ten thousand nine hundred and eighty
eight men Of it's proper strength.
.. The total shortage at all points
was so great that the total strength
figure.
3. There were deficiencies in ade-
quate fire-control stations in all the
coast defenses.
A. The searchights of all the coast
defenses were inadequate.
Congressman Gardner of Massachu-
sets, in the course of his efforts to
disclose our complete unpreparedness.
sent a list of questions to Secretary
of War Garrison. Mr.. Garrison's reply
brought out the following facts:
l. We have only one coast defense
gun of a caliber larger than twelve
inches, and this is the sixteen inch gun
at Panama.
9 The warships of the leading coun-
tries carry main batteries of fifteen
inch guns.
range of twenty-one thousand yards.
Our coast-defense guns have range
of thirteen thousand yards.
On other words, a foreign warship
could lie eight thousand yards, or
more than four miles beyond the reach
of our coast guns and knock the
coast defense to bits.)
a. BY changing the mounting Of our
coast-defense guns. the range Of these
weapons could be increased until
they could meet the fifteen inch naval
guns on almost even terms. But
these mountings have not been
changed, nor is there any present plan
to change them.
And finally, as Congressman Gard
ner pointed out, our back door stands
wide open. No provision has been
made for the adequate defense Of our
coast-defense from any but frontal at
tacks
Of the eleven hundred guns mounted
in these defenses, only three can be
fired in any direction.
A force of foreign troops could be
landed on an unprotected part of the
coast, marched into the rear of sea-
board Portland the fort would be
powerless to defend itself!

FISH AND GAME
NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM MASSACHUSETTS
tBoston Post.)

Sportsmen throughout Massachusetts
and particularly ir Worcester county
were delighted last week by the an
nouncement that the upland birds
have come through the winter in much
better shape than the most optimistic
had hoped.
Worcester county needs to be con-
graduated, according to Fish and
Game Commissioner Adams. for the
manner in which individuals and as
sociations in the county responded to
the urgent necessity Of supplying food
to the song, insectivorous and game
birds, deprived Of their usual supply
by the extraordinary fall of snow dur
ing the past winter Several tons Of
food were distributed in and out Of
cover, principally through the medium
Of the various fish and game associa-
tions.
New Law on Trout
Two weeks ago yesterday the trout
season began, and fishermen will do
we'll to bear in mind that next year
the law does not go off trout until
.
the few important pieces of legislation
affecting fish and game that has been
passed by the present Legislature.
The fishing and hunting bill, calling
for 81 license for both sports. was
killed in the Senate.
All over the State anglers are pray
ing for the swollen streams and ponds
to subside. Already many have gone
out, but the wise fisherman is patient
~ hiding his time and grinning up his
sleeve at the empty baskets of the
impatient ones. Only a few sporting
goods stores exhibited any catches, in
marked contrast to the same time last
year.
From now on the distribution de-
partment of the Fish and Game Com
mission will be busy shipping trout fry
to thousands of applicants all over the
State. The actual distributions will
begin ir the latter part of the week
and will be made from the hatcheries
as usual. Distribution Of pheasant
and duck eggs begins in May; finger
ling trout June Is and up to the fall,
and pheasants and ducks in the middle
Of August.
Cooperate with Commission.
1t must be gratifying to the fish and
game commissioners to observe the
hearty spirit of cooperation with this
work of distribution that is increasing
every year among the sportsmen of
Massachusetts,. For the commission.

CHAPTER I.

Peter Knight flung himself into the
decreplt armchair beside the center
table and growled:
isn't that just my luck? And me a
Democrat for twenty years. There's
nothing in politics, Jimmy"
His son James smiled crookedly,
with a languid tolerance bespeaking
amusement and contempt.
"Politics is all right, provided you're
q good picker" he said, with all the as
0urance of twenty-five, "but you fell
OF the wrong side Of the fence, and
you're sore. These country towns al
ways go in for the reform stun sVe-y
90 often. II you'd listen to me and"
His father interrupted harshly:
Now, cut that out. l don't want to
60 to New York, and won't" Peter
knight tried to look forceful, but the
expression did not fit his weak, COM
placent features. When he had sue
ceeded in fixing a look of determina-
ton upon his countenance the result
was an artificial scowl and palpably
false pout. Wearing such front, he
continued: when say mo- mean 1t,
and the subject is closed. like Vale,
know everybody here, and everybody
knows me-"
THAT'S why it's time to move" said
Jim, with another unpleasant curl of
his lip. "As long as they didn't know
you you got past. But you'll never
hold another Office"
Indeed! My records open to in
Spection. I made the best sheriff in"
1.-TWO years. Don't kid yourself, pa.
You got into the mud, but you didn't
go deep enough to find the frogs. Fo-
garty got his, didn't he?"
Mr.. knight breathed deep with in
dignatlon.

cr.nged. "She could be starred easy,
and she will be, too, in another sea-
son."
Pope resented Mrs. knights share in
the conversation. He did not like the
elder woman's face, nor her voice, nor
her manner. she impressed him as an
other theatrical type with which he
was familiar-the stage mamma. he
found himself marvsling at the dis
