PROUD CHEVROLET
 OWNER VISITS HERE

Driving overland in his Chevrolet 4-90 touring car, R. P. Smith of Fl Centro, California; reached Phoenix Friday afternoon. Mir. Smith has one of the first 1915 models of the little 4-90. To say that he is proud of his car is to put it mildly, for he has driven it more than 100000 miles in the last three years and has never had his motor down but once. For a year and a half he used it in the jitney service in the Imperial Valley In spite of this constant daily use, Mr. Smith asserts that his total expense for mechanical service on the car has been less than s50.00.
 Together with his wife and family and d full camping outfit he is on his way to Port Arthur, Texas. The run to Phoenix has made without diff culty, the little car making the long sand pulls with ease, and when he drove into the garage of the Brown sweet as could be.
 Contributions to this mileage of 100, 900 have been made by a round trip to Seattle. Washington, and to Arkansas, together with other consid, erable cross country runs, and MT Smith feels sure that the little Chev- rolet has many more thousand miles in her yet.

DUAL POWER FACTOR IN THE 0LDSM0B|LE

''To really appreciate this new Olds- mobile feature, it is necessary to get behind the wheel and actually try it out" according to Mr. Ferguson of the Ferguson Keeler company.
 "A great many people take for granted when the two-phase power range is mentioned that simply increased flexi- bility is meant. But that is not the case at all These new eights have two separate and distinct power ranges.
 The way to discover just what that implies is to take the car into thick traffic and throttle it down to the limit It idles down to one or two

motor is everything but wasteful of fuel.'
 It is further claimed that this feature practically eliminates gear changing once the car is started, with the result that all working parts are relieved of the strain and wear incidental to ire quent changes. According to all re- ports, the new Oldsmobile slogan, "An Idlipg Pace-A Thrilling Speed" - is rapidly gaining in popularity

JACK SHELLY

Boxing fans whose theories go as far back as the Corbett-Sullivan fight will remember Jack Skelly, once one of the greatest and cleverest of the featherweights. Ske1ly's biggest bat tie was with George Dixon, and was pulled off twenty-six years ago today as a feature of the memorable fistic carnival in New Orleans. It was in this carnival that John L. lost his title to Jim Corbett, and in which Jack Me Auliffe defeated Billy Myers. In Pugilistic history Skelly ranks with Dixon, McGovern, Attell and Ike Weir as the greatest of the little fellows.
 Skelly was born in Brooklyn in 1870. He started his long ring career with Jack Dempsey Jack McAuliffe in Palmer's Cooperage in Brooklyn where the famous three fighting Jacks" were employed at the same time and boxed almost daily with each other. Skelly's active pugilistic ca- reer ended in 1896, when he' retired to Yonkers, N. Y, to engage in the hotel business.

BAT NELSON VICTORY.

It was just twentytwo years ago to- day that Battling Nelson knocked out Wallace's Kid in the first round at Hegewich, III. Bat lived up to his name from the time he was six years old, and the little one-room school house he attended at Hegewtch was the scene of his first championship. Nelson licked all the kids of his size in his neighborhood, and some much larger, but his first real contest was with Wallace's Kid, a young hopeful who travelled with a circus and who was thought to be a wonder with the gloves. Bat put him to sleep easily. After that he began to box frequently, the bouts being pulled off in the back room of a saloon, but few of these contests have found 8 place in the rec ord books. Nelson was only four teen when he defeated Wallace's Kid, and at sixteen he was scrapping pret- ty regularly often beating his way on freight trains to towns in Illinois and Wisconsin where bout with d little coin attached was offered.

ANNIVERSARY OF MEMORABLE
 CHICAGO-DETRoTr GAME

Today is the a5th anniversary of the famous Chicago-Detroit baseball game in which the scoring record for a single inning was established This greatest slugfest in professional base ball came in the seventh frame of a contest between Pop" Anson's hard hitting White Stockings and the De- troits, then in the National League. Eighteen White Stockings made the circuit of the bases during the lucky for Chicago-seventh inning, and 24 men went to bat during that time. The final score Of the game was 26 to 6 in favor of Anson's team, which was playing on the home grounds in the Windy City. The Detroit pitcher who figured in the slaughter was, well, never mind who he was. For one thing, let's have a heart, and further more, don't know the guys name.

DIFFERENT LAWS REGARDING BIRDS
 NOT IN CONFLICT
W. K. Nolan, Head of Game Commission Sets Sports
 men of State Right.

W. K. Nolan of this city, president of the State Board of Fisheries and Game. has issued the following mo- tice to Connecticut sportsmen relative to apparent discrepancies between federal and state laws regulating the killing of migratory birds:
 To the Sportsmen of Connecticut:
 There seems to be a misunder- standing on the part of many of our sportsmen in regard to apparent con- flict between the regulations of the Migratory Bird Treaty act and the Connecticut state laws. There should be none, because the conflict is only apparent to the casual reader of the laws; there is no disagreement in fact.
 Section of the Migratory Bird Treaty act approved July 8, 1918, reads: That nothing in this act eral states and territories from mak- ing or enforcing laws or regulations not inconsistent with the provisions of said convention or of this act or from making or enforcing laws or regulations which shall give further protection to migratory birds, their nests and eggs, if such laws and reg ulations do not extend the open sea son for such birds beyond the dates approved by the President in accord ance with Section of this act" As to waterfowl-ducks, geese, etc the state law and the federal law coincide, the open season being from October to January 15 and the bag limit under both laws being 25 a day in the aggregate of all kinds.
 On rail birds there is a difference in the seasonal limits, the open seasor under the federal regulations begin ming September 1, while by the Con necticut law it begins twelve day ! later. The state law, because it doe not conflict with the federal treat! law but only still further restricts thu
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-09-06

killing of the birds, becomes auto4 matically the effective. law for gun4 ners in this state.
 The same condition exists with re-i Iation to wood cock, the state law shortening the federal law by two weeks. The former provides for ana open season from October to No1 vember 23.
 In the case. of blower. yellow legs and snipe our season opens two weeks later than the season prescribed by the federal regulation; consequently the Connecticut law iR the one whi5n must be observed.
 On the other hand, the Connecticut limit for a bag of rail birds is 35; brt the federal law sets the limit or 25. Here, of course, the federal linli-I tation supercedes the state limit and a gunner must not exceed the limit of 25 because the letter of the state law would give him no protection in case of a violation of the migratory bird act
 It works just the other way in thei case of the woodcock bag limits. The federal law allows six woodcock to a days bag. But the Connecticut law reduces the limit to five, and is valid and enforcible under the treaty act because it gives added protection eo the birds, a thing that the federal law specifically empowers the state to do.l
 An excellent thing for sportsmen to bear in mind is this simple rule: That where there is a difference in seasons or bags as indicated by the state and federal laws it is always the provision for the shorter season or the smaller bag that the Connecticut gunner must abide by.
 The migratory bird law has already proven it's value, as shown by the in-' creasing number of all kinds Of birds 1 of passage; we should do all in our power to help in it's enforcement, not ony for the benefit of sportsmen but of the public at large, whose econom-
 ic interest in the protection of bird 1 life is only just beginning to be un-' | derstood.

FAIRY WAND BOLTS;
 VICTORY NULLIFIED
Runs Six F'urlongs in Bel mont Stake In 1:1O, But
 Stewards Disqualify Her

New York, Sept. 6.--Fairy Wand, the fast but ill tempered chestnut lilly belonging to Clifford A. Cochran, ran one of the best races of her ca reer yesterday afternoon in the Au- tumn lightweight Handicap at Bel mont Park, but her efforts went for naught. After leading home such re- nowned sprinters as the Brighton Stables Flags, George w. Lofts Papp, A. K. Macomber's Holister and the Beverwyck Stables Ina Frank, she was disqualified and premier honDrs were awarded to Hollister, which fin iShed second.
 Fairy Wand ran like the wind along the rail during the first eighth of a. mile of the six furlong straight course. Then she got it into her head to go go the other side of the track and she swerved over to the extreme outside. She was far ahead of her opponents when she began to bolt and did not interfere with any of them until she was within a few lengths of the rail. There she encountered Flags, which had swerved earlier in the race and was running at a great clip over a diagonal course.
 What happened when Flags and Fairy Wand came close together is a matter of conjecture. Every one seemed to see the nixup differently. Some said Fairy Wand struck Flags; others claimed Flags swerved of his l own free will, and that Fairy Wand followed him out, and still others were of the opinion that MT. Cochran's lilly caused Jockey Lyke on Flags to pull up to save himself from being thrown over the fence.
 1 When strengthened out again Fairy Wand came tearing down to the judges at a whirlwind pace. She out ran all her opponents and at the end was a length in front of Hollister which had run straight and true throughout Despite the score ot lengths she lost by cutting across the track Fairy Wand sped the six fur longs in the remarkably fast time o1 I1:1O.
 As soon as the horses returned tc the scales the judges called several o1 the jocqeys into the stand and then after long deliberation, ordered the disqualification. This action was not approved by the crowd and misses and boots greeted the stewards.
 Garbage, the old crippled gelding by Aeronaut and Trach, carried the red white and blue, the colors of Lieut. Col. E. B. Cassett, to victory in the fifth race. He showed no signs of hi! many ailments and won without be ing urged to his utmost.
 After the Kentucky Stables Night stick romped home the winner of thu first race W. c. Keant bid him LII from $1,O0O, his entered selling price to 5000. His owner bid an addi
 tional $5 and Nightstick was returned
 to his old barn.
