CANADA CHALLENGES
MAYFLOWER'S ENTRY
Has Not Engaged Year in
Deep Sea Fishing.

GLOUCESTER, Mass. Feb. 2.-The ELI
gibility OF the schooner Mayhower which
was to have been built in Boston as
contender FOR the privilege Of represent
ing this country in this years interna-
tional fishermens race, was challenged
in a telegram received here to-day from
the Canadian race committee in Halifax
The telegram said the committee
would adhere to Rule of the conditions
laid down for the fisherman's cup COM
petition, which says an entry must have
been engaged in commercial deep sea
fishery for at least one season before a
race. AS the Mayfiower would not be
ready for sea before June the Halifax
committee feels that she should be
barred from this years contest.
Gloucester fishermen who learned of
the telegram were inclined to question
whether the Canadian schooner now
building at Lunenburg as an avowed
contender should not be barred for the
same reason in keeping with the spirit
of the deed of gift. although II is un-
derstood the Lunenburg boat is to be
launched in the early spring.

JUDGE Lands FINDS
ATTACK INTERESTING
Baseball Autocrat Refuses to
Reply to WeIty's Action.

Special Despatch TO TIE NEw York HERALD.
CHICAGO, Feb. >. - Federal Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Lands when asked
this evening If he had any reply to make
to Representative Welty's action in
Washington. said that he did not care
to discuss the matter.
$50 the blow has fallen" remarked the
Judge. That certainly is interesting,
but I'll not discuss the matter now"
Mr.. Welty's attack OH the propriety
of Judge Lands acting as arbitrator of
organized baseball while continuing to
draw salary as federal judge follows
closely on the filing OF a petition in
Congress by Thomas J. Sutherland. a
Chicago attorney. calling for Congress
sional investigation of Judge Landis's
acceptance OF the baseball position.
Mr.. Sutherland's petition was sent TO
Illinois members of the House. who re-
turned II to him with the request that
he modify some of its features before
they considered presenting il to Con-
gress. Mr. Sutherland replied that he
was not inclined to modify the petition.
",rhe petition states that Judge Lands
has been guilty of grave misconduct"
said Mr. Sutherland, replying to Repre-
sentative William r. Mason. ANY pre-
tence OF lofty design to elevate the ethi-
cal status of the clubs seems incon-
ceivable.'

GREENwINGED TEAL FEARLESS Oh


In its description and report Of the green
winged teal the Department of Agriculture
in bulletin sG2 says that this particular duck
has been largely dcpleated owing to its lack
OF suspicion OF man and due 10 the fact that
the birds fly in compact floclSs and are
therefore easy TO shoot. The major part
Of the report Is given here:
The greenwinged teal. variously known 70
sportsmen as greenwing mud teal. winter
teal or red headed teal, has n very wide
distribution, being found In the breeding
season from New York. northern Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan. Nebraska, Colorado and
New Mexico northward to the edge OF the
Barren Grounds; from near Fort Churchill.
Hudson Bay, to Kotzebue Sound and nearly
TO Point Barrow. Alaska. The main breed
ing grounds are in west central Canada
from Manitoba TO Lalte Athabaska. and
the bird breeds only rarely In the United
States east Of the Rocky Mountains. II
winters commonly IN Mexico and tho Bahia
mas. and rarely In Cuba. Jamaica and Hon
duras: occasionally south 10 Tobago. II Is
also very common In winter In the Southern
States, and many individuals remain
throughout the winter as far north as they
can find open water. II liz one of the early
ducks TO migrate In spring usually reach

The adult male greenwinged teal can best
be distinguished by Its dark brown head
with patch OF metallic green on each
side. including the eye. and extending into a
crest nj the back Of the head. II has also
white crescent in front OF the wing and
n metallic green spcculun wing patch.
This wing patch II not so distinct on the
female and young. Any of the teals can
be distinguished from most OF the other
ducks by their small size. the ereenwing
measuring i2ii 10 t5 inches In length. the
bluewing i4a to 10 inches, and the cinnamon
teal about II inches.
The greenwinged teal feeds largely upon
the seeds OF pond weeds. bulrushes and other
aquatic plants. although Il takes also
smaller proportion Of such animal food as
insects. small crustaceans and enails. When
much disturbed during the daytime. the
flocks feed largely at night. The flesh OF
tho greenwing Is very palatable, being con-
sidered among the best OF American ducks,
although II IS said soon TO become less pala-
table when the birds have been driven 10
the seashore and feed upon snatls and salt
water crustaceans. On account OF the TACT
that the birds have little suspicion OF man
and fly In compact flocks. affording oppor-
tunities for pot shots, the greenwinged teal
has been greatly reduced In numbers. II Is
one OF our most desirable game BIRDS and
should be carefully guarded against further
depletion.

FIRST BIG YACHT
ENTRY DUE TO-DAY
Selection of Transatlantic
Committee Is Postponed.

Baron de Cartier de Marchienne, Bel
gian Ambassador, who was expected In
New York to-day to select a committee
for King Albert's transatlantic yacht
race next summer. telegraphed from
Washington yesterday that his visit has
been postponed until Tuesday.
The first entry from one of the big
American schooner yachts picked by ex-
perts az potential winners of the Kings
cup Is due at the Belgian Consulate to-
day. Her owner intended to enter his
boat yesterday. but was called out OF
town.
Considerable interest was aroused by
the application of Prof. w. r. Clayton
OF the University of Maryland, Annapo-
lis, 10 enter his rs foot ketch Siesta.
Yachtsmen thought IL enough boats of
this size decide to enter there will be two
classes in the race, one for boats more
than 100 feet overall and one for smaller
craft.

SHOOTERS TIE AT
SPORTSMAN'S SHOW
Amateurs Perform Better
Than ''Pros" in Indoor
Championship at Garden.
by JAMES $. mitchell.

The trapshooter supplied the main
share of the excitement at the Sports
mems Show at Madison Square Garden
yesterday. The tussle for the worlds
indoor amateur and professional cham
pionships reached climax. At the out
set of the preliminaries II was thought
that there might be some trouble among
the amateurs to find ten high guns. but
at the conclusions of yesterdays two
showed an amazing turn OF proficiency
among the men who shoot solely for
pleasure.
Two shooters have already reached the
top rung with full tallies of fifty. They
are A. Elliott Ranney OF the New York
a. c.. and J. r. Hampton. another New
Yorker. According to the rules Of the
tourney they need not take the firing
line until the f1nal on Saturday No less
than eleven others have hung up scores
OF 40 each. and IL they do not happen
to make the necessary perfect string this
eleven. with a probability Of some more
additions. will be asked to shoot off an
extra qualifying round before the final.
In yesterdays sessions four men tied
for the high gun honors with totals Of
40. They are Al WINS, last years win
ner of the Grand American Handicap,
who broke 80 out OF possible 100 from
the nineteen yard mark; Lou Piercy of
Jersey City. T.. y. Smith Of Round Lake.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 2.


movement to force Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands to retire as national
arbitrator of organized baseball or to
give up his Judgeship of the Federal
District Court at Chicago was started
IN the House to-day by Representative
Welty (Ohio), Democrat.
A resolution asking the House JUDI
ciary Committee to investigate the legal
right of Judge Landis to hold the two
offices was introduced by Mr.. Welty
with the announcement that he will en-
deavor to have it passed within few
days. He also stated that he had asked
Attorney General Palmer for an opinion
whether present laws make 1t Illegal for
Federal Judge to accept emoluments
from any other agency than the Govern
ment. In case such a law does exist
Judge Landis would be subject to i'm
parchment under the Constitution, which
provides for the removal of judges guilty
of misdemeanors, Mr.. Welty said.
In case the opinion OF the Attorney
General or the proposed investigation
reveals that Judge Lands has violated
no law Mr.. Welty said he would intro
duce bill making II a misdemeanor for
a Judge to accept other salaries than
the one he received from the Govern
ment.
of Judge Lands in becoming the head
of organized baseball, and I believe he
acted in good faith. but do think his
action has decreased the respect for his
judicial Office said Mr.. Welty. 1T havo
been unable to find any law making the
Judges action a misdemeanor.
I'VE must preserve confidence in our
Judiciary or the Government will not
survive. If baseball can employ a Fed
eral Judge to settle its disputes, why
cannot the packers or the railroads do
likewise? The judiciary, like Cscsar's
wife. should be above suspicion.
Judge Landis, in my opinion, was
offered the baseball position with a sal
ary of $4,000 annually in the hope OF
restoring the good name Of baseball.
which was besmirched by the revelations
OF graft in the indictments returned
against members of the Chicago White
Sox for the throwing of games in the
1919 worlds series. It does not look
good for Federal Judge to be party
to such movement while retaining his
judgship."
