Question:
What are the prospects for fall shoot
ing? Have you heard ANYTHING that
sounds encouraging? Where in your
judgment will be the, best flight of
birds?
Answer:
Reports from the Canadian breed
ing grounds are most encouraging. The
conditions have been exceptionally good
for nesting and very large broods OF
ducks and chickens are the general
report. The small ducks have started
on their southern fight. Mallards. red
head. sprigs. canvassback and other
larger ducks are dallying in the north
on account Of the mild weather. A
| little squaw winter will start then,
soutH in great numbers Old timers in
the shooting game claim the flight will
be OF short duration. but exceptional
! ~ good shooting will be the order for
a few days while the birds linger in
! this zone. 1t is difficult to guess the
, course the main body of birds will fol-
low. The absence of water in the
sloughs and bayous OF the middle west
may start the ducks on their coast
routes. There is plenty OF feed in
most localities, plenty of mast and
| grass seeds. rice and celery a little
short. Be on the grounds early and
you will get good shooting, If properly
equipped
Question:
How about the federal laws. do they

essaray to take out a federal license 10
shoot migratory birds Do the federal
! laws take precedence over the state
laws Which should I conform with
| in shooting? G. F. r. Dixon. III.
Answer
Yes the federal laws permit shoot
| ing this fall No federal license is
| necessary. Federal take precedence
| over state laws. You should respect
| both federal and state laws and be on
| the safe side Of the argument.

Mitchell Can't
Serve for Cubs.
Says Heydler

Acting President John A. Heydler Of
the National Baseball League yesterday
notified President Charles Weeghman
of the Chicago club that Manager Fred
Mitchell was not eligible to represent
the Chicago club at the coming meet
ing of the league in this city next
week. President Weeghman had previ-
ously reported to Heydler that, owing
to business pressure, he would be un-
able to attend the annual meeting and
that he had nominated Mitchell and
William L. Veeck to act for the Chi
cago club.
The constitution of the league pro-
vides that each club shall be entitled
to two representatives They cannot,
however, be under contract to the club
in the capacity of manager or player.
CHICAGO, Dec. THE management
of the Chicago club of the National
League was formally placed in control
of active baseball men at a meeting of
the directors to-day. William L.
Veeck, who, for ten years, wrote base
ball under the name of "Bill Bailey"
was elected vice-president and treas
urer; succeeding William H. Walker.
John O. Sey, also former baseball
writer, was elected secretary of the
corporation and travelling secretary of
the club, succeeding Walter Craighead.
Fred L. MITCHELL manager Of the
club, who was elected to the presi-
dency two weeks ago, succeeding
Charles H. Weeghman, said he would
attend the National League meeting in
New York next week with the expec-
fancy of being seated.
"The change in the business man
agement of the club was made in order
to put active baseball men in charge"
President Mitchell said. "Mr. Weigh
man and Mr.. Walker will retain their
financial interest in the club and will
be members of the board of directors.
II expect no trouble being recog-
nized as president of the club at the
New York meeting" President Mitchell
