Small Game Season on; :.
Many Hunters Out Early;
Birds Are Plentiful

With a total of $500 hunters Ii
censes issued, Dauphin county prom
ises to be well represented to-day
in the fields. II is the first day of
the season for small game, pheas-
ants, quail, squirrels and wood
cock.
Many local sportsmen left early
for the woods and mountains.
Evening trains carried at least 100
to various points yesterday. The
Cumberland Valley hunters went out
before daylight this morning. Farm
ers on their way to market this
morning reported many camped
along the hills and mountains walt
ing for daylight.
War was declared upon the shy
pheasants, the coy quail, the noisy
woodcock and the busy little squir-
rels, which are at this time working
overtime to store away nuts for the
coming winter.
The nuts are scarce, and for that
reason the tiny fellows are running
to and fro through the woods, little
thinking that the high cost of living
will make hunters especially anxious
to shoot them for the good-tasting
meat they offer as food.

New York, Oct. 20.-Benny Leon
ard, worlds lightweight champion
handed Jack Britain q trimming here
last night in q ten-round bout. After
the first round it was evident that
Britton would have to do some tall
thinking to last the limit, but through
his good generalship, Jack managed
to weather the storm of puncher
though he was all but out in the final
round after standing toe to toe with
Leonard for half minute eXchang-
ing wallops.
Leonard did not seem to be labor
ing under any great handicap with
the advantage that Britton had in
weight, for it was announced prior
to the boys entering the ring that
Britton tipped the beam as per agree
ment, at 139 pounds while Leonard
scaled at 1873 pounds.
The champion used all kinds OF
punches to try and stop Britton, but
the latter was careful at all times
and nearly always clinched when the
going was too tough. On divers occa-
sions in the early part of the bout il
looked as If Britton was doomed to
take the count. He stood solid rights
and lefts to the jaw, uppercuts which
came from the shoulder and carried
lots of beef behind them, but as he
was in splendid condition Leonard
seemed unable to slow up Britton to
any great extent.
Fight by Rounds
First Round-Britton looked ner-
Vous as he came up. Leonard, with a
confident air tore after Britton, hook
ing three lefts to the face. Jack miss
ed two left swings and Benny soaked
his jaw with a right and brought
two lefts hard to the neck. Britton
missed a left and Benny planted a
solid left to the wind. Britton claim
ed it was low, but the referee told
him to box. They mixed it in the
center with Jack coming out of a
clinch with a cut mouth. The bell
found them sparing.
Second Round-Leonard opened
with two solid lefts to the jaw and
hooked right to the head. He chas-
ed Britton around the ring, hooking
another left several times to the jaw.
Jack startled Leonard when he plant
ed nice left to the body, but Benny
made him see stars from half a dozen
smashes to the head and body.
Third Round-Leonard sent two
lefts to the ear and followed with an
other to the same spot, which made
Britton clinch and hold on. After the
break Britton held his left out, but
Benny worked him against the ropes

TOMLn HAS
SHOOT RECORD
Wins Dupont Prize in Bril-
liant Exhibition; Other
Big Scores

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 20.-Fred Tom
lin, the Atlantic City marksman, gave
one of the most remarkable exhibit
tions of trapshooting yesterday when
he captured the du Pont 1S-yard
championship trophy with a score of
"a out of possible 100 targets. The
event, which featured the first days
shooting in the annual autumn east
ern tournament, attracted a select
field, thirty-two of the leading scat
ter-gun artists facing the traps. Nine
of this number were professionals
and ineligible in the titular race, but
Tomlin's mark topped all of the sala-
ried mems scores.
The race was shot under anything
but favorable conditions. A strong
wind blew across the traps through
out the afternoon, causing the little
blue-rock targets to float away at
puzZling angles and making it eX-
tremely difficult for the marksman to
register hits. Then. too. later in the
afternoon the last events were con-
tested in a downpour.
