Wren Puts Smith
out in Finals OF
Handicap Tourney

It's mighty hard to "get along
with Il. f. Wren this morning. In
fact, friends predict that he will be
rather chesty for several days, for
he is king of the golfers of the
Chiekasha Country club-until some
body else knocks his crown off.
He acquired this title yesterday
afternoon when he beat sIIug1l n.
Smith in the final handicap match
for the Golfers Magazine cup, three
to go. Both Wren and Smith had
battled their way through a field of
20 players to the finals, their match
yesterday being for "blood." In the
sem-finals, Wren put Harry Ludlow
out in a handicap affair.
The winner will get his name
chiseled on the hardware offered by
the magazine and the cup is to be
played for an again next year.

Altogether there was the equivalent
of 100000 pounds Of the sugar
stored away and yet this was only
four percent Of the 1920 production.
Had not another shortage of gran

FISH DUCKS WILL MAKE
NIAGRA RIVER FlSHLESS

Niagra Falls, N. Y, April S.--Fish
in the Niagra River will soon be q
thing of the past and the famous
river will be known as fishless.
Fish-eating ducks are devouring
thousands of fish daily. The shell
drake or cowens will kill more fish
in day than an expert fisherman.
Ducks killed in the spring are al
ways found with their crops filled
with fish.
Sportsmen are advocating an open
season for ducks in the spring on
the Niagra River in order to pro-
tect the fishing. Fish-eating ducks
are like rubber and are not espe-
cially good game for eating.
