Woman Sporting Editor
Roasts Jess Willard

Miss Ida L. Webster, who is
holding down the sporting editors
desk on The Toronto (Canada)
World while the regular incum-
bent of that position is lighting at
the front, proved herself to be a
somewhat sarcastic and rather
venturesome Iassie by the way she
handled Jess Willard the other
day in a leading article. This is
what she says:
Like all other spotlighters, he
is a drawing card, but he has it
all over the others like a dollar
over a dime. for the very fact that
the average man is anxious to
see just what kind of a body can
support a head as large as his.
This is the real secret of his sue
cess in the circus business.
"Since being crowned the white
hope he has made more enemies
than any other one in the country.
First of all. he made the mistake
of his young life when he went to
the mat. fguratively speaking.
with Tom Jones, his manager, or
press agent, as we understand
Willard wished him to be called.
he knew enough to keep the cham
pion from bleating his egotistical
ideas all over the lot, and, incl
dentally, making himself the
laughing stock of America. Then,
fortunately, like many thousands
others. he permitted the sudden,
smiling fortune to go to his head,
but sad to relate 1t did not have

He did not burn up the bright
paths buying wine for pretty
chorus ladies, nor did he scatter
Broadway with 500 bills, as did
one other of our champions. Nay.
nay, Pauline, not that-he merely
tucked the roll into his pocket
and had his tailor sew it up. Then
he went and bought a hat, three
sizes larger than he was in the
habit of wearing. After that feel
ing that he should spend some of
his money, he bought one of the
best-playing circuses in the busi-
ness.
''He refused from that time on
to allow fighting to be discussed;
that is. he refused to allow any
one to suggest that he fight again.
When the newspapers, unable to
stand his overbearing, thank God

point that would mean murder
to any other man, he handed
them the singing retort: 7 am
afraid to fight any man who is in
the field because I might forget
myself and hit him as hard as I
can. Should I do this would
undoubtedly kill them

Question: What has become of
the federal migratory game law?
CHARLES GREEN.
Peoria, Ill.
Answer: The House and Senate
conference committee of Congress
have again been working on the
smoothing out process and the bill,
which supplants the one promul-
gated IN 1913, has been passed along
for the Presidents signature at
which time it is supposed to become
effective. The salient features of the
newly formulated bill is the pro-
hibiting everywhere of the sale of
migratory game and a bag limit of
twenty-five on snipe, plover and rail.
Why don't the United States Su-
preme Court come out of their
iethargy, rendering a decision on the
constitutionality of this law. which

Answer: The crow Is a nonuseful
bird from any and all angles, with
their cannibalistic proclivities and
Instincts. They prey upon the young
of every species of the bird families.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission
Is of the opinion that each crow
destroys more wild life than any fox,
weasel. wildcat, mink or human hun
ter. Many farmers claim that con-
tagious and infectious diseases, such
as foot and mouth disease, also such

livestock are carried by crows. The
complete determination of the crow
family would be considered a direct
blessing to wild life and the crop
