No Season for Elk.

There is to be no shooting of elk
in Oregon during the year 1919"
Such was the declaration made by
State Game Warden Carl D. Shoe
maker, who has received a number
Of inquiries as to the date of the op-
ening of the season for hunting elk.
In order that the misunderstanding
may be corrected. the Game Warden
explained that the 1919 Law pro-
tected elk until August /, 1919, but
this law was repealed by the 1913
legislature and perpetual protection
was provided for this noble animal.
There will be no open season on elk
in this state at any time unless the
Legisla .ure fixes one at some future
session. We only have few elk in
the state and an open season would
kill practically all of these off," said
Mr.. Shoemaker.

Agents Save Stock Industry.

Many thousand head of cattle and
sheep threatened with starvation on
dried up western ranges have been
shipped into midwest and eastern
states and put on pasture or in feed
ing yards. County agents in the west
have cooperated with the growers IL,
arranging carlot shipments of starv-
ing animals, and the eastern agents
supplied farmers with information
on quality Of stock and how it could
be obtained. In some Nebraska coun-
ties the buyers cooperated in send
ing a representative west to deal
with growers through the agents. In
this work Of saving the livestock bus
mess in some districts the agents are
said to have saved more than their
salaries and expenses.

DRAW IN SCHOOL SOCCER
 PLAY ID BE MADE TONIGHT

beyond Principal R. L. Zinl1 of the Lincoln school I cannot mention an other member of the schools that took an intesest in the game and never attended the games.
 During the first three seasons it was hard work to get the boys inter ested and 1t was seldom that two full teams appeared On the field, it was often a case of seven or eight players on a side except in cases where the teams were running well for the championship of the league. Referees were fooled constantly and would often appear on grounds to find neither teams appearing. Games aft CT school were unknown and attempts never made because the boys could not be interested for Saturday games.
 During the whole of this time the committee furnished the balls for the boys who were not asked to donate one cent towards the cost of same. This state of affairs would have put the kibosh on most sport officials who were trying to foster the game among the school, but it is interesting to note that despite these hardsnips, the committee in charge did not give up the work and those two hard work ing officials Joe Booth and Arthur Stead did not give up the work.
 The turning point of this state of affairs, however, came at the begin ming of last season when the com nlittee decided that in future the boys must furnish their own foe
 balls, and the two mentioned offlci - took the matter in their own hands and with the help of several other officials worked harder than ever to bring about success. From the start 1t was plain to be seen that trans formation scene had taken place al- though the entries were less in num- Der, owing to the balls not being fur ndshed, 1t, however,. laid the founda- ton to success. as inc competition be- tween the schools were decidedly better and keensr.

C HARLEY HARVEY. manager of W Ted Lewis, is raviug and pulling his hair trying to persuade boxing fans that his battler was not in prop CT trim when he was knocked out by Jack Britton, the 'weiterweight cham pion. at Canton, O., last Monday night
 But who will take stock in that report7 Cleveland, Canton and Ak ron, O., papers, each of which was represented at the riugside by compe- tent writers, all agree that both boys were at their best. And four of these writers attended the bout several months ago In which Lewis was awarded the verdict and incidenuy the championship. These say that Tod was in as good dOndition Monday as he was on that occa sion,
 However, Charley was not expect ed to remain silent after that defeat was administered, for it marked the passing of the biggest bread winner he ever had the good fortune to man age. Yet Harvey has been in boxing aong enough to know better and to have acted differently. The least he could have done was to eonE~atulate Britton.

President Lane Announced Signing Of Five Players
 For Year.

With five players already signed ana as many more expected to be heard from within the remaining two days of this week, President Clark r. Lane, Jr., announced today that the Bridgeport club is making greater progress than any other team in the Eastern league. The players who have ai- ready signed are Infielder and Man ager Grimes, Pitchers smith, Lennon and House and Outfielder Gene Mar tin.
 MT. Lane today predicted a success tui season for the Eastern league, saying that interest in baseball in this section has been renewed and that with a reorga nized circuit and many good players available a good race should develop. He denied, however, that the moguls had decided on the circuit.
 The makeup of the circuit is un- certain he said today. MT. O'NeiI has held up the meeting of club own CTS for the purpose Of lining up those who have asked him for franchises. In the files of the leagues secretary there have been applications from Pittsfield and Holyoke for the past two years and if Providence with draws it is almost certain that both these cities will be represented on the circuit
 The Bridgeport players will not be asked to come to this city to start training for the 1919 campaign until
 two weeks prior to the opening of the league season, which, MT Lane said,
 will probably not occur until the first of May. Mir. Lane is in favor of a late opening and late closing and will urge the adoption of 132 game schedule.
 Kid E1berfeld. who during the off season was an athletic director at Camp SheoIey, Is now ready to devote his time 10 baseball. He will again manage the Little Rock Club of the 1 Southern League.

Sign, then work is his slogan. ! The Red sox, minus Babe Ruth. ! who at the time of going to press. 1 was still hoIdout, are due in Tam 1 pa tomorrow night. They will not
