BIRD Protection
AIDS GAME LAWS

Ratification by the Senate Of q treaty
protecting practically all birds that mi
crate between the United States and
Canada has been accepted by bird con-
servationists a. an important supple
ment to the Federal game laws. John
B. Burnham, president OF the American
Game Protective Association OF New
York, an, organisation active In pushing
through the treaty. says that similar
treaties with South America and the
West Indies will be sought later.
THE ratification Of the treaty with
Canada" Mr.. Burnham says, means
that this country now possesses the
most advanced and effective legal pro-
lection for wild life OF any on the
globe. The enactment of the Federal
law In 1913. was the first great step
toward this end. 1t was necessary. how
ever. to supplement this with protection
for tho lapGe number OF species Of val
liable birds that nest In Canada and
either pass through the United States on
their southern migration or actualy
winter here"

NEW YORK. September Trays OF

portation by the Federal courts yester-
day, when Judge Augustus n. Hand
held illegal the recent effort Of the Pam
tomimic Corporation to get the willard
johnson fight pictures into this country
by rephotographing them across the
Canadian border.
In denying q motion Of the film own
srs to prevent Collector Of the Port
Malone from seizing the picturea. the
court upheld the constitutionality Of
tbs film exclusion act prohibiting the
Importation of representations of pu-
sflistic exhibitions.
In ruling on the technical points in
valved in the Photographic process
tie court said:
ut is clear the negative New York
film could not be taken except by the
AGENCY Of forces set in motion in Can
ada The argument that this process
did not amount to bringing q picture
representation from Canada to the
United States while difficult to answer
ID. think. met by the unquestionable
fact that a pictorial image. though no,
a physical object. which was In Canada
10 now In New York. and that its pres.
ence In New York 10 caused by the
travelling Of rays Of light starting In
Canada and passing through a lens on
the New York side. which gives a rec.
ord or pictorial representation there
"This. while not an introduction OF

the pictorial representation. in spite OF
the fact that the pictorial representa-
ton was at all times visible and die
not exist at the particular moment
when the rays Of light crossed tn,

Inv oMEN pEAN IoHNsToN

Coach Of South Philadelphia Hish. 1nterseho-
iastlc League champion.
TNHERE has always been question in my
Il mind as to whether Il Is worth while to
attempt the selection OF ail-high school, ALL
academic or all-Amercan football elevens,
Even after the most sincere efforts OF the
impartial tho result contains Ms much In
Justice as Justice. In the case OF prcparR-
tory schools. especially. anything like COM
plete data is out OF the question.
Tho choice Of coveted positions on these
mythical elevcns Is very likely TO fall on
those who have won newspaper mention
through some bit OF spectacular play, while
reliable players who bear the brunt Of the
work 20 urnoticed. This applies partiou-
larly to linemen.
II Is with some natural hesitation, there
fore that at the request OF Louis III. jane
I have left announcement TO this past
season diversion OF the sports writer's.
There are OF course some players whose
work SO shines out that they cannot escape
mention. Among these are Reukaun, West
philadelphia High School; Rosetsky South
Philadelphia High School; Kinsmnn. Moth
east High School: Bunnn, South Philadel-
phia High School; Korb, West Philadelphia
High School. and Kistler, West Philadelphia
High School.
Reukaui is probably the most versatile
player In schoolboy ranks, playing tackle
on defense and on the offcnse an excellent
kicker (there seem to be a lot OF good
kickers Mt w. P), end runner and receiver
VI forward passes.
Rosetsky. without much question, Is the
most remarkable lne-plunging fullback seen
IN interscholastic games for several years,
and in addition he throws the forward pass
well. and probably is the severest kicker
in the school ranks.
KinsmRn's work has been notable all
season. especially so in the Northeast West
Philadelphia game, when, badly handi-
capped by his physical condition. his hard
playing was one of Northeast's few re-
deeming features.
Bunnin's play throughout the season has
caused favorable comment. He runs his
team with ginger and judgment, carries
the ball well. and no is good at either end
OF the forward pass.
The most important candidates for the
ends, in my opinion, arc Korb West Philly;
Yerkes. Northeast, and Cowdrick. German.
town High for tackles. Reukaufr. West
Philly; Lubin. South Philly, and Supplee.
Central High; for guards Farmaltis, Central
High; Krecker. Central High; Weller, South
Phllly: Fcaster, West Phlly. and Christian
sen. Northeast; and for center. Greenwald.
Central High, and Sacks. South Philly.
In the above lineup have given Rrecher
and Farmakis places in positions which or
dnarily are not theirs, feeling that they de-
serve places in the lineup and that they
could I'LL those positions creditably.
