FISHING IN THE ROGUE
loregonian)

(Oregonian)
The sportsmen Of Oregon. or some
OF them. had convention in Port
land the other day. and euds avored
20 find solution to few of the
,nany problems which ever arise to
vex the angler and the hunter. Their
discussions were interesting and per-
haps in some respects conclusive; but
. decision reached as to at least one
moot question will not appeal to the
general public. which regards sport
a. an avocation and sportsmanship
as something more than rere con-
vention. As having been founded in
reason. ethics. or justice. The sports
men by a small vote declared that
the Rogue river ought to be closed
to commercial fishing.
The inspiration for this ex.raordl-
nary action Is few sporssmen Of
jackson county who feel that the
upper reaches OF the Rogrc river
were diyinely placed for their plea
sure and that recreation, not COM
merce. ought to be the chief utility
OF Its abounding fish life. A few
years ago they procured through the
initiative passage by the people of
law prohibiting commercial fishing
with results so disastrous that the
legislature later was obliged to re-
peal the law and open the river to
the fishermen and the Gamers.
The anglers desire to have the un-
restricted and uninterrupted right to
fish for salmon. trout and other fish.
The law now provides that steelheads
may not be caught by seines or nets
or sold. The Jackson county anglers
claim that the Gamers at the mouth
OF the river have nevertheless de-
stroyed the steelhead. and they want
them penalized and restrained from
all fishing. The reply OF the down
river fishermen is that the charge is
false. and that they do not molest the
steelheads; and they say besides that
the proposed prohibition is no
remedy for the anglers. for during
the previous closed period it was
proved that the spawning fish be-
fouled the entire stream, and steel
head angling was no better than at
the present time.
The whole issue over Rogue river
Is a. to the existence of the fishing
and canning industry, giving liveli-
hood to several hundred men and
keeping two canneries going. Shall
they be shut down and the fishermen
denied the right to a livelihood, in
the interest Of the upper-river sports
men!
AS the situation is, the sportsmen
now get some Of the fish in the
Rogue. What they desire Is all the
fish for themselves and none for the
men who seek to make a living in

AMERICAN LEAGUE
STRONGER IN BOX
THAN NATIONAL

Is National league pitching inferior
to that of the younger circuit? The
answer to this question is gradually
drawing itself from the things indis-
tinct into the light of definite con-
clusion. Certain circumstances have
contributed in determining that the
American league boxmen have the
edge, writes Len Wooster in the
Brooklyn Times.
The cases of Duffy Lewis and Har-
nv Hooper in the American league
and in the Worlds Series on two sep
.arate occasions show that the Nation
al league brand is not quite up to
that of the American. Then there
is the almost conclusive bit of evil
dence furnished by Hal Chase.
In the American league, and dur
ing his days with the Buffeds, Chase
was a remarkable fielder, but never
an extraordinary batsmen. Yet, this
season, while in the thirties, he led
the Tener circuit with the bludgeon.
There would be room for doubt as to
the reason if Chase himself did not
advance. one.
81 have not improved in my stick
work" he declares. "But the work
of the National league boxmen is far
inferior to that Of the hurlers in the
johnson circuit"
While in the main this is not mo-
M entous 1t confirms a growing sus-
picion that the American league is
drawing to q slightly higher leve
than the National, not only in pitch
ing, but in other departments of the
game.

MISKE BEATS
bob MONA IN
LIVELY BATTLE

New York, Nov. 1S-Bob Moha got
considerable more than $40 for fight
ing at the Broadway Sporting club
last night, including as fine a thrash
ing as he ever got. Billy Miske trans
formed the famous "cave man" into a
"caved-in man.
Miske won in every round with the
possible exception of the third round,
which was fairly even. He won be-
cause he was a vastly superior ring
man. Moha's long lay off evidently
accounted for his sluggishness and
tendency to hold. Miske stood close
to the cave man and belted away
freely with both hands.
Moha was a mark for Miske's right
hand, which he shot across with ac-
curacy, fitting the stocky Moha, back
on his heels with every punch. Miske
didn't seem to fear the short mans
wallops Indeed he gambled freely,
shooting his right for Moha's jaw
without seeming to care about count
ers.
Meha landed few blows that had a
sting, simply because he could not To-
cate his man. He did succeed in
pumping a right hand uprercut to
Miskes heart when Billy got too free
in his attack. Hard as the punches
were, Miske didn't stop, but renewed
his efforts with telling effect. He cut
under Moha's right eye with a whiz-
zing left hand in the fifth round and
Moha wiped the flow away with his
gloved hand
Moha held after the fifth round He
was. tired and Miske's flying fists were
anything but welcome. Bob was in
disfavor because he employed a
swivel punch on the breaks. On the
order to part, Moha would wheel in a
circle and catch the unsuspecting
| Miske on the jaw.
| After few of these punches had
| landed, Miske watched the breaks
with both eyes open. Miske can fight
| and Moha told him so when they
shook hands at the end of the tenth
round.

ARMS. MANAGER

Manager George Kellam of the

spects to Manager Healy Of the Chain

I'm answer to the offer made by
the management of the American
Chain Co.'S team, the Remington man
agement wishes to state that it will
not be dictated to by the Chains
manager or any other football man
ager.
eff the Bridgeport fans want to see
a good team, one capable of giving
the Chain a good lacing, they will de-
mand that the Chain company play
the Remington Arms team on or be-
fore THANKSGIVING.
1.-THE Arms management made Mr..
Healy an offer to play his team. win
ner take all, or on the 60-40, 75-25-ba-
sis, but evidently Mr.. Healy doesn't
think much of his chances against
the Arms team or he would take up
this offer. This offer goes either at
Avon Field or Newheld Park.
1.-THE Chain team has only played
one real game and that one they lost.
Had the Remington Arms wanted to
play high school teams they would
have run up big scores, too. Mr..
Healy made the Arms the liberal offer
of SIS lose or $3.50 win and as the
Arms management does not wish the
Chains to go in a hole, they have
declined this liberal Offer"
