Flats Already Reclaimed.

There was time when gunners had the
choice of the marshes of the Potomac or
Anacostia during the cunning seasons,
but the reclamation of the Potomac fats
largely decreased the territory in which
wild oats provided feed for the birds, and
it was found necessary to put stop to
shooting along the District shore below
Anacostia bridge as a safeguard to per-
sons on passing boats.
In recent years the work of retaining
the Anacostia flats has progressed so rap
idly that this year much Of the ground
heretofore visited by gunners will be in
cluded in the forbidden territory. Prac-
tically all that portion of the marsh be
tween the Anacostia bridge and the
bridge over the river at Pennsylvania
avenue has been reclaimed or so thickly
there for the birds to feed upon.
Between the railroad bridge and the
Benning bridge, where gunners here
tofore found the best sport. many per-
river improvements will make it nee
essary for the police to take extra pre-
cautions to protect them. The precau-
tons they will take. according to Lieut..
Will be to erect danger signs at safe
distance from the channel. which will
keep the sportsmen from much of their
favorite territory.

Where They May Shoot.
North of Benning bridge there will
be nothing to interfere with the gum
ners-that is il they do not overstep
the boundary line between the District
and Maryland. and in order to prevent

side of the line.
"And the Washington sportsman who

who had an experience there several
years ago.
But the Marylanders may come

fear of being molested."
The only other place where gunners
In the District will be permitted to
shoot marsh birds is back of Analostan
island and on the marshes extending
from the Virginia shore as far down
as Alexandria.

Last year TeeQplrds ana ortolan did not
appear until later than usual, and this
year, 1t is stated. the wild oats prob
ably will not ripen as early as usual
on account of the late spring and con-
tinued rains.
1t Is expected that there will be a
large crop of oats this season. and gun
ners are hoping there will be a corre-
spondingly large number of the reedies

been received from distant marshes, so

POOR SPORT AHEAD :
FOR BIRD HUNTERS
High Ammunition Cost and De-
creased Territory Hit Dis
trict Gunners.

High cost of ammunition and decreased
acreage of the nearby marshes in which
reedbird, blackbird and ortolan shooting
has been enjoyed since the early days of
Washington promise to make the sport
less interesting this season. Work of re-
claiming the fats is gradually obliterating
the marshes. and in a few years, 1t is
stated. the feeding grounds of the mi
sratory birds in the District will be
thing of the past. When the marshes are
filled and there is no feed for the birds
1t will be necessary for sportsmen to go
to Maryland and Virginia.
"And then the cost will be much
higher. y said one of the more enthusiastic
sportsmen. ''for in addition to the pur-
chase Of ammunition. it. will mean license
fees and car fare. Maryland and Virginia
sportsmen may do all the cunning they
want in the District without the payment
of license fee. but neither state is IN
clined to reciprocate."

WHAT THE PLAYERS

Chicago Congressman Helps
Major Leaguers in Fight
to Lower Prices.

If Representative Madden of Chicago
should ever be in need of votes or
moral support of the base ball frater-
nifty it is his for the asking. The Illi-
nois representative has become the
patron saint of the ball players since
he raised the question of the price OF
a small steak in the hotel dining room.
When he brought out the fact in Con-
gress that a $1.62 meal in London can
not be duplicated In Washington res

subject in which ball players are as in
terested as in next years contracts.
The high cost of living has chased
the American plan hotel from the base
ball circuit and the days of the free
for-all grab around the sixteen-seater
have passed. 1t Is now the European
system of rationing, G pay for what
you eat. If you are a ball player and
endowed with gnawing appetite. you
are in hard luck unless the salary goes
into five figures.
One Players Meal.
Ball players, as a rule. are housed in
at least the second best hotels around
the circuits. This means that they are
compelled to eat in the hotel dining
room on the European plan. They or.
