DEER CHASING DOGS

In another column of the Banner,
today viii be found an article from
the Hoosick Falls Democrat voicing
an alleged protest of the hunters in
that vicinity against the efforts of
the New York state commissioner to
correct the deer-dogging evil. This
new law which is attacked by the
Hoosick Falls paper provides that
dogs shall not be taken into forests
inhabited by deer unless the owners
first take out special license. The
statute also provides that metal tag
with a number corresponding to the
license shall be attached to the dog
collar. There are other provisions,
one Of which prohibits the running at
large Of dogs in forests inhabited by
deer. The protest against these re.
strlctions is natural enough. Legisla-
tion Of any kind which attempts to Ie-
train dog or its owner from doing
just Nltdt thS9 SOi u0ii ittiDC lida
always encountered opposition and
probably always Will so long as hu-
man nature and canine nature are
what they are.
Apparently the aim of the new game
law in New York is TO fix the respon-
sibility for the actions Of the dog upon
its owner, a result that has always
been difficult to accomplish. Deer
running dogs have been the bano of
tie Vermont game wardens ever since
the. deer were brought back into the
state hundreds OF deer are killed
every year by dogs. In only q Jew
cases, comparatively. has it been pos
sible to fix the responsibility for the
destruction upon the owners of the
dogs
The majority Of these deerkillers
are half breed ours, crosses OF shep-
herd and fox-hound, with none of the
virtues Of either parent that are per
mitted to roam the country without
collars and without restraint Most
OF them are sheep killers as well as
deer-kilIers. II t hese crossbred
nuisanoes could be Systematically tag
ged as is provided by the New YORK
statute the Vermont game wardens
might be able to make a considerable
reduction in the deer-dogglng evil in
this state. It would be necessary to ex-
tend the restriction to pure bred fox
hounds as well as to the mongrels,
for many hounds will run deer at
every opportunity. The killing in
stinct possessed by the mongrel is not
prominent in the foxhound, however,
and the latter's quarry frequently es-
capes.

batting strength to the team.
There will be a novel system of UNI
pfring in effect here next spring when
the National League teams play their
games here in Washington. 1t will re-
semble the plan employed during the
world series. one umpire from the
American and another from the Ma
tional working in each game. Boston,
Philadelphia. New York and Brooklyn,
which teams are all to make their ap-
pearance here in the spring, have
agreed to furnish a National League
umpire for these games, while Nam
Johnson to have one of the American
League staff here for every one of
these games.
These games usually are hard fought,
for the teams. being from rival eagues,
do not take kindly to defeats, and hence
piring beat them. With regular league
officials in charge interest will be
added to these series.

The committee of bankers which has

1T thinks is best for his interests. It
was no such coid-b1ooded proposition
as 1t sounds. this decision of the bank

close friends of Somers. and they have
worked hard to reach a solution of a
difficult case with the least injury to
the man involved. Their final decision
was that IL Somers gave up his base
hall his nfhare- hn1din ca
deubtedly would be saved. Something
had to go, and 1t seemed better to give
up the Cleveland franchise than his
mining property or some of his real

tire attention. which they really de-
serve and which they have lacked
while base ball took up much of his at
tention. 1t will be no surprise IL
Somers. after getting back on sound
base ball, as he is thorough sports
man and loves the game.
If Somers should leave base ball it
will be with the knowledge that Amer
lean League club owners, SOME of them
friends of only few years, stood
ready to finance his club through the
next campaign, Just that Somers might
remain with them.
There is little doubt that the White

the game ever has seen. and yet this
