see if a game warden is hanging around but turn him loose First try to let his escape by giving him loose line. If this is not successful wet your hands thoroughly and without touching the fishes gills or squeezing him too hard, remove the hook as gently as possible and instantly release him. If he is too weak to swim against the current hold him with his head up stream for a min ute. If you head him down stream the water will run into his gills from be- hind and drown him.
 I have resuscitated fish that were prac- ticaIly dead by the use of salt This can be done by putting a small portion of salt in the palm of the. hand holding the head of the fish between the thumb and forefinger, and allowing enough wa ter to run in the hand to fill it. Then force the head of the fish down into the salt water. He will soon liven up and dart away.

 Trading was animated by the same in huences which have diverted themarket from it's recent downward trend, but lack or public interest or sustained bulIish leadership finally reduced dealings to slender dimensions.
 Pools again essayed to elevate the more popular issues of the industrial di- vision. especially steels, equipments and oils, later taking up shippings and sun- dry specialties comprising the chemical and fertilizer groups, but their operations failed to enlist outside support
 The money market was easier in that the supply of call money at per cent at all times exceeded requirements, but further contraction of time funds and merchants paper was reported
 In the survey of general conditions for the first four months of the year. the local federal reserve bank expressed the opinion that ''very little progress towards a reduction of either commodity prices or credit volume" has been made.
 On the other hand there was much dis cussion among bankers with mercantile connections of the "dehation" now under way at leading business centers of the country| This movement is finding ex- oressioR they say, in wholesale and re- lail offerings of merchandise, particular Y high priced textiles and feathers.
 The bond market gave a better account of itself than the stock list, representing lndustrials and rails tending higher with further recovery in Liberty is- sues, notably the 1-2s, which rose 10 91.50 or 2 Is per cent. over their recent low record.

RIFLE
By Lieut.. Co. Townsend Whelan.

by Lieut.. CO. 1OWnSenQ W uSldIls
 Small bore rifle shooting is shooting outdoor at 50, 10O, and 200 yards with full sized .22 caliber. rifles. The rifles are in general a combination of mili- tary rifle and fine target rife, and fully meet the requirements of the most expert riaemen. The ammunition used is the .22 caliber long rife cartridge which is exceedingly accurate at the ranges indicated. Firing is done at tareAN of the proper size for the va rious ranges, and also at practical targets stimulating at short range those targets which the sportsman and. soldier finds in actual field conditions.
 The system has much to commend it It is inexpensive, an afternoons sport costing from fifty cents to. one dollar. It does not require elaborate range equip ment as several enthusiastic can build a rifle range on a couple of afternoon from scrap material at practically no cost. It does not require the range to be To- cated in sparsely settled, inaccessible locality. Ranges can be located in the outskirts of city, or even protected range within the city is entirely prac- ticable. Thus the ranges are available for shooting in the late summer after moons after business. Telescopes are used for spotting the shots, and markers in the butts are unnecessary. At 100 yards and 200 yards the same allow ances for wind are necessary as are required when shooting the large high velocity rifles at 500 and 1000 yards | There is no recoil to the .22 calibre rifle, and very light report.
 ] Small bore shooting requires just as much skill and careful attention as shooting the larger target and military | rifles. It is an excellent for sporting or
 military target shooting. and for game
 shooting with the hunting rifle. From g

All Stars vs. Baltic Sunday.

The manager of the we'll known All Stars wishes to announce that on May 9th his team will travel to Baltic to cross bats with the Baltic Rivals. If Baltic have the men they claim to have the baseball fans of the village may expect to see the best game of the season this Sunday. Manager Weisner of the All Stars has secured, two out of town boys and he is sure they will help to hold the All Stars reputation. J. Shea of the Jersey City club will probably do the twirling and will be held by Charnetski Coach Levitski claims the All Stars have the fastest team around since the Sa- chems broke up unless the committee of the K. of c. pick out some mighty strong men. The manager wishes to state he has an open date for the 18th and if the K. of c. team needs any necessary prac- tice he will gladly call his baseball stars out. As. the result ofeSundays game the All Stars badly defeated the fastest team representing Greeneville known as the Shetucket Co. by the score of 19 to s. Penault did the twirling for the All Stars and was held by Charnetski. The manager of this fast team wishes to state that he has few open dates for next month Any team desiring games will notify Mgr H. Weisner 14S Baltic street, Norwich.

first he decided to hurry back to Eng land. It was said at one time that Wilde had contracted to write series of stories for English papers about his visit to America and that he intended to roast everything and everybody con- nected with boxing in this country.
 Despite his defeat Wilde continued to draw well. He soon got over his pique and denied that he intended to roast anybody. He also postponed his re turn to England because offers for his services, all containing large guaran- tees. were rolling in.
 Wilde learned one lesson when he met Sharkey He found out that he could not afford to concede weight to the best of our bantams Thereafter he barred all the top notchers. giving as an ex- cuse the plea that he could obtain more money in England for matches with Sharkey. Pete Herman. Pat Moore and others of that type than he can get in America.

ONLY ONE OF wILDE's OPPONENTS
 RATED AMONG TOPNOTCHERS

A remarkable feature of Wildes sue cess in gathering American dollars is that only one of his opponets was rated among the topnotchers. He is Jack Sharkey and Sharkey beat him. What is more, the defeat came in his first ap- pearance in this country and naturally it cut down his drawing power consid- erably. If Wilde had managed to score a knockout over Sharkey he probably would be in Carpenters class as a draw ing card by this time.
 Little Wilde was greatly chagrined be- cause of his defeat by Sharkey and at

GEORGES DON'T LIKE KID Id - RCOY POSING AS HIM

To say that Georges Carpenter and Francois Descamps are irritated with Kid Mccoy is putting it mildly. Mccoy now is on the Pacific coast bravely fac ing the camera as a movie actor, and it is on record that he never has side stepped. the machine nor turned his eyes from the operator As a result of his film activities in the west, there now is being shown in New York city and all over the country a picture in which Mo Coy as listed as Carpenter. the French champion This might not be unfor- giveable, but Mccoy. posing as Car pentier, is knocked out in the third round every time the film is shown.
 The victor in the bout is labeled the American champion, and he bears some resemblance to Dempsey, which is an added aggravation to the Frenchman.
 Carpenter and his manager now are planning to have the name of the knockout victim changed. and it is said the Frenchman will challenge Mccoy and his corkscrew punch to combat un- less the film is altered.

military standpoint it has been proved many times that it is possible to basic ally train men in small bore shooting so that they will excell at military shoot ing at the very first attempt with the larger rifle. However, small bore shoot ing will appeal to the average American more as sport than as military exer- else.
