We have watched with interest a
fight in one of the middle western
states where an attempt Is being
mad to place a fire. year closed
season on quail. 1t is our opinion
that the passage of such a law is one
Of the worst things that could hap
pen to bob-white.
What a wonderful thing it would
be If all that was necessary TO pre-
vent the killing of any quail in a
certain state would be for the leg
islature to pass a law placing a i've
year closed season on the species.
To make this law a success the
closed season would, of course, have
to apply to vermin as we'll as the
sportsmen, for with the sportsmen
out of the field vermin are bound TO
increase, and the quail. not having
been hunted lose much of their wari-
ness and fall easy prey to their ma
tural enemies.
The. real fault Of the five. year
closed season law Is that in nearly all
cases it is a law on paper only. Quail
are shot during the entire time by
INSCRIPTIONS gunners who do not
flush them and shoot them fair. but
because they are breaking the law
pot the birds. wiping out whole CO.
veys at a time.
A New York game protector told
the writer recently that he did not
have much trouble in looking after
the pheasants, but that it was i'm
possible for him to protect the quail.
His reasons were that should anyone
shoot a pheasant Illegally. every gun
ner who heard of it for miles around
was interested and would do his ut
most to furnish information to bring
the guilty one to justice. Why? Be-
cause he Is looking forward to the
open season allowed in New
York state, when he himself hopes
to enjoy a little pheasant shooting.
1t was c~ontended that just the
opposite was true where violations
of the quail law occurred. The sea-
son was closed in New York on quail
1915 and will not open again I'M
Nil 1925. The ordinary gunner feels
he personally will gain nothing

team defeated du Pont on two occa-

the Harmony players lost a contest

The Harmony and Speedway

The T~ottenville A. C. tossers were

two contests being tied. while the
IT. A. G. team won two straight VIC

The Speedway combination de-

Judging the strength of the
teams that will take the court for

The Michelin Tire Company repre-

the Speedway basketball team of
this city in a game on the Commu-
nifty House court at Midtown last
night, and won out by a 1925 score.
Almost throughout the entire game
the tiretown players held the lead,
although the Speedway players kept
plugging away against their much
heavier opponents. The Midtown
team led 1916 at the end of the
first half.
Smith and Alb Herman led the
winning combination in points
scored, while Ray Handerhan and
Thomas were high point getters for
the Speedway team. In the first
half the going was nip and tuck, the
Midtown players lead being about
two points at the most during the
greater part of this session. In the
last half however, the tireworkers
piled up a noticeable lead after ten
minutes of play, and after that the
result was never in doubt. A big
crowd witnessed the game.

ALL OUTDOORS

in helping to prosecute a quail
shooter and he. therefore, does not
interest himself. The result in New
York state, as in nearly all other
states where totally closed seasons
have been adopted, is that the quail
have practically disappeared under
this form of protection. Many places
where bob-whites were fairly num-
erous when the closed season was
first passed are today barren of
quail.
If your birds are down to such a
point that you feel a closed season is
necessary, make it for n year only,
giving the birds the advantage Of
two breeding seasons. or two years
at the very longest. Close certain
counties. alternating each year:
make your bag limits small and
will have many more quail than by
by the five-year closed season me-
thod.
For Good SpOrtsmanship
The sportsman should not lose
sight of the fact that his place to
hunt depends largely upon the toler'
ance of the farmer. For this reason
he should make the farmers inter-
ests his interests. We all know that
there is a type of shooter who has
little respect for the owner of the
land over which he tramps. A gate
left open. a broken fance NEAR lit
tie to him. Some even stoop TO shoot
the farmers chickens.
The better class of sportsmen
should bend every effort to catch the
outlaw and insist upon his arrest and
prosecution. Some sportsmen's as
sociations keep a standing reward If
$25 offered for information that will
lead to the arrest and conviction of
any man found damaging the prop
erty of another while in the pursuit
of game and fish.
Interest yourself in behalf of the
farmer. Take him into your organi-
cation. show him that you r will
ling to go out of your way to aid him
and you will find that he will take
more interest in your game and in
your sport.
