Conflict with world Series.

Another question that Mr.. O'Connor
has overlooked Is as to whether the
Polo Grounds will be at mis- command
on October II. World series games
held the fort at the Polo Grounds last
year from October to r. and as the
New York teams look much like con-
tenders for the worlds championship
how would O'Connor be sure of having
October IL for the boxing bout? Will
the baseball authorities consent to post
pone one of their games In order to
permit the bout TO be staged? I should
like to hear from the baseball. people
on that point.
Mr.. O'Connor seems apprehensive
that If there were 10000 seats at 81
each II would serve to attract an un-
desirable element to the ground /
think he may rest easy on that score
The crowd that saw the Dempsey Car
pentier contest compared favorably in
all respect with big gatherings at any
sporting event. and / am certain that
the people who witness the Dempsey
Wills bout will include men and women
who are truly representative
AS whole, Mr.. O'Connor has made
out very poor case, and he will have to
do much better before he gets a sanction
from this commission"
EDWARD Mckeever. representing the
Ebbets-Mckeever Company. the license
OF which was suspended September on
charge of Irregularities in the sale OF
admission tickets to the Wills-Jackson
bout on August 90. appeared before the
Boxing Commission yesterday, and a ftef
an extended hearing was notified that the
company would be restored to good
standing on September L. This action
was taken after the Ebbets- McKeever
representatives had given assurances
that in future the entire upper tier of
the grand stand would be placed on sale
att admission ticket prices, The Buff
Villa contest at Ebbets Field Is TO be
held on September IL. and therefore the
Jackson Marks contest will have to go
over to September IA.

Arthur Knowlson.

Arthur knowIson.
The untimely death of Arthur knowson
will be a severe shock to the many deep sea
and fresh water anglers all over the United
States, for he was regarded by those VINO
knew him with affection.
His devotion to all that pertained to ang-
ling was exceptional and his uniform cour-
tesy, geniality and sincerity endeared nun
to ALL who came In contact with him.
The writer recalls many pleasant meetings
predominating trait his sincerity, for
Arthur Knowlson was man that could not
he bought. and he II was perhaps more than
any other one man who steadily elevated
deep angling, and brought II to be on
a higher plane. lie II who was largely
responsible for making IL more gcntlemanly
game than 1t once was.
His Influence In these directions was felt
in all fishing circles and his loss will be
most deeply deplorcd for we may not see
his like again. ARTHUR THORNTON.

Once -Despised Muskrat Now
Delaware's Best Crop
Pelts in Demand for "Sealskn Enrich Farmer and Sur
round Rodent With Safeguard of Law Rivals
Dignity of Sacred Cow of India

With the pelts of the common
muskrat in demand at from $3.50 to
$1.75 each the farmers of Delaware
have come to realization that these
rodents, once regarded as pests, con-
stitute one of the greatest assets of
the State. In the brief season of
fourteen weeks there are possibly
more than 100000 worth of skins
taken and sent to market, or sold di-
rectly at the traps, and there is no
doubt the rats are far more profit
able than ever the cultivation of
peaches proved. Many farmers realize
from $3.50 to S4O0 on every acre of
marshland they own and they are
now considering proposition to en-
gage Systematically and scientifically
in the propagation of these fur-bear-
ing rodents.
1t is an established fact that musk
rats breed and multiply as rapidly as
their kin, the house and barn rodents,
which means that each pair of these
swamp denizens multiply more than
twenty times season. With one pair
actively engaged in the rearing of
young it is estimated that their off.
spring represent value Of more than
$50 year. AS they live harmoniously
in large groups--in fact they are
the most peaceful Of all wild rodents
"a hundred pairs could find housing
accommodations and forage on an
acre Of marsh, so that with care and
Newark post., 1922-02-08

proper attention the hitherto useless
waste land and marshes of the State
may be transformed into the most
profitable section of the farms.
There are hundreds of acres of low
land in Delaware that cannot be used
for growing crops or other purposes,
where the raising of rats is rapidly
becoming the stay and support of the
fortunate owners in these days when
farming has ceased to pay a profit.
1t is believed that with the waste
land turned to proper account and the
propagation of muskrats we'll estab-
lished these marshes would net more
than S1,0O0,00O to the farmer trap
pers.
The wartime demand for furs first
sent the price Of rat pelts up to a
dollar each during the early days Of
fighting, but it was believed that at
ter the return to peace they would
drop to their old rates, ten or fifteen
cents apiece. The present season has
disproved that presumption, however,
and now the business has assumed
the Importance of vocation Of very
first rank. Also it is an industry that
never fails, for rats are affected in
number or quality of fur by neither
dry nor wet weather, heat or cold.
They evidently have no off-season and
despite the high price set upon their
heads by fashionable women they
gain in numbers constantly. Since
Newark post., 1922-02-08

they have risen to the dignity of sup
plying fur for the best of "sealskin"
coats or smaller garments, Delaware
has surrounded them with protecting
laws that express her realization of
the precious nature of the animals.
One had almost as we'll shoot his
neighbor or at least his neighbor's
horse or cow as to kill single musk
rat outside of the drastic laws that
guard them. To destroy their houses
or molest them in any way that might
cause thm to move to other quarters
is punishable with fine of 500 or as
many days in Jail, while even tres
passing on the marshes where they
make their home is no less severely
punished. They must not be hunted
with a dog, or shot, or shot at, under
such penalty as grant them inn
munity from pot hunters or hunters
using unfair means of capturing
them. Neither may they be killed at
times when waters are overfowing
their lairs, forcing them out into the
open.
Under the Delaware laws the
! muskrat is treated with the greatest
care, and he who disturbs the quie-
tude of their marshes or resorts to
the mailing" process of capturing
them or taking advantage of them in
any way is sure candidate for the
workhouse if he has no bank balance.
Indeed, the veneration in which the
Delaware muskrat is held in the con-
science of the law makes his position
almost analogous to that of the sacred
COW of India or the white elephant of
Siam. He possibly deserves all this
consideration, for he has come into a
value at time when the farmers are
needing money, and he eventually will
become the chief asset left to the
State, as all other of it's natural re-

HISTORIC TREES
CUT DOWN
"Woodman Spare That Tree
Was Written by Morris
as He Sat Under Them

The two sycamore trees, more than
300 years old, under which George
Pope Morris wrote his famous poem,
"Woodman, spare that tree" have
been cut down to prevent their fall
ing. They died two years ago.
"Woodman, spare that tree
Touch not single bough;
In youth it sheltered me,
And I'll protect it now"
This appeal which has been an elo-
cutionary effort of countless school
boys, went unheeded with grim real
ity, as axes cut deep into the trunks,
branches were cut, boughs sawed and
"movie" cameras clicked.
The sycamore grew in the rear of
the old Woodward mansion in w.
22d ST., New York, in which British
general hid and later escaped during
Washington's occupation of New
York. The place is now girls board.
ing house.
This poem was inspired by an oc,
casion on which a friend took Morris
into the woods near Bloomingdale, N
Y, and pointed out an old elm under
which he had played in youth. While
they were examining the tree a MAI
approached and was about to Gu
it down when Morris friend Offered
the workman $40 to spare it.
