shipped in and turned loose in the
northern part of the Forest in 1915
and the number Is now estimated to
have increased to $50 head. Small
additional numbers are found on
Sheep and Jelm Mountains outside
h forest but these are not reported
to be increasing rapidly because of
the illegal hunting which is going on
there.
The number of deer in the forest
are reported as barely holding their
own despite the Buck law which has
been put into effect. 1t is probable
that a closed season for at least two
years will be necessary If the number
Of deer are to increase properly.
In reference to the numbers of
Grouse, the present closed s"asOn to-
gether with a yer favorable spring
has resulted in a great increase in
number of these game birds. 1t
is known that a number of Grouse
are killed each year, however, both
during the sage chicken season and
at other times. The Forest Service
and the State Game Department are.
however, cooperating in game pro
lection II ii is expected that few
more convictions for the illegal kill
Ing OF grouse will have IA desirable
effect in cutting down this practice.
The Beaver which are protected at
all points within the Medicine Bow
National Forest are largely on the
increase and several new colonies
have been established during the past
season.
Due to the fact that the price of
fur has decreased. the number of
Coyotes are very largely on the in
crease. Recommendations are being
made to secure the cooperation Of
the biological Survey in placing
hunters in this region in order that
these animals which have caused a
heavy loss each veal to the sheep
men may be trapped and hunted.
Mountain Lions continue to take a
severe toll from the Deer, particular
ly on the winter ranges IN Lower
Douglas Creek and the Platte River.
A number of these animals were
trapped or killed last year through
the use of dogs, but it is necessary
that an additional amount Of hunt
ing and trapping be done if the
damage to Deer is to be eliminated,

BLIND TO Us

None Of the other Three-1 league
baseball critics are conceding Rock
Island very much in the way of
winning prospects, but in this case
their ignorance is bliss.
The fact remains that most OF
the Islanders this year are verit-
able "unknowns." This means that
they will have to step out a week
from Tuesday and convince con-
tending critics Of their prowess.
After scrutinizing last seasons
leftovers and newcomers in the
various league camps, with the ex-
ception of Moline, the islanders are
the best looking outfit in the cir
cult.
While those who are sighting
Rock Island and Moline on general
principles alone, and predicting a
third pennant for Bloomington, etc
The Sportscope does not hesitate to
predict that the islanders and
Plows must be reckoned with.
1t is wise policy to concede all
the clubs an even chance OF pro
ducing a winner. To disregard
Rock Island and Moline chances
by predicting an open road fol
Bloomington. Evansville, Peoria
etc, is indiscreet, to say the least

KAYO THE GOAL

Knockout predictions anent the
coming Van Ryan-Welch are flying
thick and fast from both camps.
Van Ryan believes he will put the
fast Chicagoan away early, while
WEIGH is just as positive that he
can stop Van before the bout has
progressed very far.
Walter Miller, one Of the Island
er pitching candidates. saw WEIGH
recently in Chicago, and the Gold
man entry predicted that he would
win by a knockout within five
rounds.
Articles for their meeting in the
Coliseum, Davenport, May 6, have
been signed and the Davenport
legion has begun final preparations
to complete an all-star card of pre-
liminary bouts.
The fact that Emmett Sheehan Of
Rock Island, and Whitley Ross OF
Chicago, will mix again in the semi
windup, should prove extra allur-
ing to the boxing bugs of the three
cities. Sheehan is being trained
for the scrap by Oke Smith. who is
a smart athlete q stickler for good
form.
It has been announced that the
Davenport legion contemplates an
attendance of at lease $500, and
that seating accommodations will
be installed for 5000.

WHEN NIPPONESE TOSSERS ARRIVE APRIL %
By DEAN SNYDER

With the coming Of the Waseda
team from Tokyo. Japan
will open up the first real interna-
tional intercollegiate championship
series ever undertaken.
Japanese teams have toured the
United States before.
American all-star teams have
transformed through Japan.
But the visit of the Waseda team
will start the ball rolling for the
first real International series OF
games.
The Wasedas are due to arrive IN
San Francisco April 20.
They expect to play all tho big
schools on the Pacific coast, in the
middle west and east before they
return July a.
Return Games.
Every team they play will be m
vited. or challenged for . future
return game in Tokyo.
Waseda plans to have all the big
American university teams come to
Japan-one team in the spring and
another in the fall-until all have
made the trip, one after another.
Until last year Japan was unable
to finance expensive trips Of Amer
lean teams.
Last year the visit of the Chicago
team at Tokyo proved there were
enough baseball fans in Japan to
insure sufficient financial backing.
Guarantees Cost
Japan will guarantee all travel
ing costs and expenses in Tokyo
for Is players.
The University Of Washington
has been invited to make the trip
this fall.
Next year eastern schools will b
challenged. The first invitation
will be to Harvard.

New York, April 23.-New York

run market Of the major leagues.
With Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel,
Frank Baker and George Kelly in

Elmer Smith Of the champion In

Babe Ruth, of course. is the

has four already to his credit and
is running several weeks ahead of
his 1920 record. He may pass the
high mark of 81.
In Bobby Meusel. long California

lieves. Meusel hits harder and
drives farther than Ruth. His two
homers this season have been ter
rife clouts over the fence. Last
season he made II four base clouts
and he played irregularly.
Frank Baker used to be the home
run king Of the majors. He's back
in the game now, but it is doubtful
if he will be able to keep up his
old clip as a pinch hitter since be
laid OF a season.
Babes Real Rival
George Kelly, the skyscraper first

a terrific drive, meets the ball
square and is about the most dan.

at the bat but he gets everything
into his swing.
Wally Pipp, first baseman of the
Yanks, is also a home runner Of
ability. He got II last year ant

their return to read press dis
patches which stated that Lewis
had defeated Van Ryan in their 10

The consensus was that Van
Ryan won handily. The fact that
the referee of the bout conceded
Van every round but the fifth,
served to support such a claim.
