from the northeast. The forccaster.
however. predicted clearer weather
for the afternoon. Rain fell all last
night, and the ground was soft

The players share OF the receipts
this year will be about half the sum
collected in former worlds series
Their share now totals little over
$4,000. This would indicate that the
winning players will collect about
$1,000 and the losers $500. the lowest
figures ever paid to worlds series
players.

rleted his list of wardens for the
present, copy Of which is published
in this issue, although others will be
added later if necessity requires.
Mr.. Parsons says it is the commits
sioner's policy, however, to have only
active wardens who are interested
enough in the preservation of our fish
and game to keep busy and constant
" moving, always on the alert for
violators of the law in the territory
and along the various waters which
they cover.
Owing to advanced cost of every
thing pertaining to the proper main
tenance of this department. which the
Legislature of 1917 could not wholly
foresee," said Mr.. Parsons, the most
rigid economy must be practiced con-
sistent with efficiency in the warden
force. and if possible an increased
output of the hatcheries of the State.
More fish should be planted next year
than ever before, and the game
should be conserved in every section
