Mr. Wanamaker based his amazing
results as retail merchant prin-

Thereby he manifested the principles

PROPOSED CHANGES IN FISH
AND GAME LAWS
Next Legislature VIII Be Asked to
Make Upwards Of twenty-five
Changes in Present Laws.

Madison,-Upwards of 25 propos-
ed changes in the fish and game laws
of the state will shortly be placed in
the hands of the legislative library
for the drafting of bills. 1t is ex-
pected that these bills will be ready
for introduction through the COM
mittee on fish and game by the time
the legislature convenes here jan
uary 10.
The most important suggested
change comes as a result of the con-
ference Of sportsmen and conserva-
ton wardens held here last July.
This bill would impose fishing
license of 81 per year on each adult
male. The purpose of the bill is to
raise additional funds TO carry on the
work of the propagation of game in
Wisconsin. That this bill is likely
to go down 10 defeat seems likely.
II believe an increase in the hunt
ing license fee from 81 to $3.50
would be more popular and accom-
plish the same purpose" declared

TWO NEW FACES
In COUNTY OFFICES
Joseph Volant as Sheriff and Leopold

New County Officers.

New Sheriff Names Richard KaIIio-
msa as Undersheriff. Moved
into Sheriff's Residence
Thursday.

Two new faces will be seen in
county offices next week, starting
Monday, the day on which county of
fieerS take up their duties.
Joseph Volant will take over the
duties of the sheriff's office, succeed
ing John Morris, who has held the
reins for two years. Mr.. Volant was
elected sheriff at the November
general election. He ran as an
Independent and defeated the
regular Republican nominee, Robt.
Erspamer, accomplishing some
thing that had never before been
done in the county, that of an hide
pendent candidate for sheriff de-
feating the Republican nominee.
Mr. Erspamer received the nomina-
tion at the September primaries, out
distancing a field of six candidates.
Richard Kaliomaa ran second and
Joseph Volant third. 1t is believed
that the fact that some of the defeat
ed candidates threw their strength
in favor Of Mr.. Volant at the gem
eral election accomplished the de-
feat of Mr. Erspamer.
Mr.. Volant has already been sworn
in and tomorrow at midnight official
ly becomes sheriff OF Iron county.
lie will have as his undersheriff
Richard kalliomaa, who has served
in that capacity during the admins
tration of John Morris, and thus will
have teammate who is well ac-
quainted with the duties of the Of
flee and will be great help to him.
Mr.. Volant moved into the shcriff's
residence at the county Jail building
Thursday and win be all ready and
on the job next Monday.
Iron eounty's new sheriff is
young man of sterling qualities He
was reared in Hurley, coming TO this
city with his parents from France,
where he was born, when but an IN
FAINT. For many years he has been
associated with Joseph Raineri in his
meat and grocery business.
There will be but one other change
in county officers, Leopold Noldin
taking over the duties Of treasurer,
succeeding Mrs. Luella Trier, who
was defeated at the primary cleo
ton. Mrs. Trier retires after many
years Of service as county treasurer.
The new county treasurer is also
product Of Hurley, having been
reared in this city. He is gradu-
ate from the Hurley high school and
since completire his high school
studies has held various positions. He
is an cx-service man and for many
months was in the thick of the fray
in France, remaining with his con-
tingcnt until honorably discharged
after the aGmistice.
The other county officers, Clerk
Chas A. Noren, Coroner Joseph
Charbonneau, Clerk of Court Joseph

Urge. Protection of Apple Tree,

Urges Protection Of Apple Trees.
A northern Wisconsin county agent
urges chat apple trees be protected at
this time of the year from rabbits
and mice, as they destroy many
valuable trees during the winter
months by girdlirg them,
A sleeve Of tar paper or wire mesh
will guard the trees effectively, he
says. In addition being protected
from rodents the trees should be
s. aded on the south and southwest
side from the sun.
In this locality the large cracks in
the trunk seen on so many of the
older trees and called Southwest
Injury" are caused in the spring of
the year by tho sun thawing out the
sap in the middle OF the day on south
or southwest side. When the sun
goes down this sap freezes and cracks
the bark. This produces an injury
much as though knife had cut the
bark, and rot sets in, causing an ugly
wound
II the tree is wrapped with some
hing that win shade the trunk it
will do for both rodents and south
vest injury. Otherwise a 10 or II
nch board can be fastened against
he trunk on the south side, which

sportsmen would object to this in
crease which would give the COM
mission upwards of $4,000 which
could be used for the propagation OF
game.
1.-THE experiment of the Pabst's
farm in the raising of Hungarian
cartridges, for instance, has shown
that this game bird readily adapts
itself to southern Wisconsin. With
additional funds this commission
could, within very few years, stock
all southern counties with the Hun
garian partridge. This is but an
example of what we could do with
the additional funds that could be
raised by increasing the hunting
license just so cents"
Other bills that will come before
the legislature as a result of the July
conference include bill to license
all house cats; to close the season on
rabbits in all counties; rescind the
25 cents trapping permits for boys
under 16; appropriating $4,000 TO
the state board Of health to assist in
reducing the pollution of streams by
industrial plants; limiting season kill
Of prairie chicken and partridge to
10 birds each; prohibiting trolling
from a running motor boat; and a
bill to open the trout season Is days
earlier and closing it on August /.

PunetusIity al School

The country schools have 81 ne
handicaps as compared with city
schools But If parents and children
cooperate Loyalty, those handicaps
can be overcome.
For instance, the matter Of panc-
tuality. Few things trouble
teacher moro than the habit o. be-
ing late on the part Of the pupils.
This drifting in after the hour for
beginning breaks up the morale d
school and interferes with discipline
and gets the pupils in a habit of do
ing things in an irregular way. Rural
children are usually more earnest
and purposeful than city young
sters.

pitching staff is under way and 9th
er team aspirants will don their
uniforms for practice in the armory

The team, which won many hon.
ors last season, was backed by an
excellent pitching staff of Jackson

four men will return again this
year but they will have strong COM
petition from Walker Roettger. who
worked in the box last spring on

proved to be one of the first year
pitchers Illinois has had in many
days.
Captain McCurdy, Illini first
sacker for two years, is expected to
have another strong team this sea-
son. Swede Hellstrom will be at
second. Durant at short. Stewart at
third. Doc Dougherty behind the
bat, and Crangle, Peden and Vogel
in the field. Besides these regulars
there are many from the freshman
squad who may prove better ma
terial than those who look to be the
first team regulars at the present
time.

BY BILLY EVANS.

How many ball players quit the
professional game before they are
through?
Take it from me. mighty few OF
them. Most of the athletes desire
to hang on to the limit.
AS a matter of fact the hardest
thing in the world is to convince
some slipping star that he is on
the way to the bushes.
Until all clubs waiver on them
and they are shunted to the minors,
or they draw their 10 days notice
of unconditional release, most of
the stars insist they are as good as
ever.
Jeff Tesreau, for years a star on
the pitching staff of the New York
Giants, is one of the few exceptions
to the rule
The Ozark Bear" as he was
called because of his physique and
the fact that he hailed from the
Ozarks, retired from professional
baseball when he still had from fiy-s
to ten years in front of him.
incidentally Tesreau has bene-
flied financially from his decision to
forsake the minors as we'll as the
majors. He frankly admits that he
is making much more money than
he ever did as a National league
pitching star.
In forsaking professional circles.
Tesreau turned college coach and

! baseball promoter He still does
some pitching, but merely as a side
issue for his own club.
At Dartmouth, where Tesreau in
structs in the art of baseball, the
athletes don't call him JEFF or the
Big Bear" as was always custom
airy in his days as a big Lacquer
Instead he gets a high-brow title
from the students at Hanover
Prof is what the baseball can
didates at Dartmouth call Tesreau.
Under the new system in vogue at
Dartmouth, Tesreau is a member of
the Dartmouth college faculty. as
the assistant director of recreation
al athletics. That is how JEFF gets
his title of professor.
Tesreau devotes about six months
of the year to Dartmouth actiyi-
ties. He is tied up with his college
work from about Jan. / to July.
In the good old summer time
Tesreau is a promoter of semi-pro-
fessional baseball. He has one of
the strongest semi-pro" teams in
the country, also an enclosed ball
park. 1t is not uncommon for his
team, known as TeSreau's Bears, to
play to 1900 people on a Sunday.
Tesreau is more than satisfied
with his present surroundings. He
says a salary of $4,000 year
wouldn't entice him back to the big
leagues, if he was able to deliver
and any one wanted him that badly.

Nat Niles of Boston is the Ty
Cobb of the tennis world.
For Is years Cobb has been a
topnotcher in the batting records
of the American league
For Is years Nat Niles has been
reckoned as one of the greatest of
the American tennis players.
In 10 Of the Is years he has star
red on the courts he has 10 times
been ranked in the first 10.
It is a remarkable record of con-
sistency and retention of near
championship form, that has been
surpassed by only one other Amer
lean, the famous William A. Lar
ned.
Larned is generally regarded as
one of the greatest players of all
time. For 10 years he was rated
among the first 10 players. He held
the national championship on eight
different occasions. Larned starred
from 1892 to 1911
Niles has never won a national
title, but he has always extended
the champions to the limit, and
beaten them in many tournaments
other than the nationals
Niles first broke into the charm
ed circle of the First Ten" in 1908.
He was placed eighth that year
Since then he has been fourth on
one occasion. fifth on another, sixth
five times, eighth once, and ninth

SNAPPY PLAY
IS IMPRESSED
ON HIGH TEAM
Should Make Favorable Show
ing on Trip.
BY ART WILLIAMS.

Rock Island high school tossers
have been working this week in a
manner augurlng favorable show
ing and capability of justifying the
new uniforms that they will sport
Friday and Saturday at Spring Val
ley and LaSalle. Sessions dealing
with snappy playing. which the 10
Gals will have to rely on, have been
given night after night. Shelters
ankle is improving and he will
start at center. Coach Kmmel is
undecided as to the men that will
make the trip, but it is probable
that Alvine, Edwards, Alexenburg,
Woodward, knanishu, SchnitZer,
Anderson and Captain Shelter will
go. Anderson is a youth of con-
siderable size and will be used in
case an occasion presents itself
when some real beef is needed.
With Hall out of the lineup, the
only man of any real size is Al
vine. The remainder of the quin-
tet is light.
TRICKY Battle.
This week end will be the scene
of another tri-city clash when Mo-
line meets Davenport at Davenport,
Friday night. The Davenporters
are rather respondent over the fact
that Stetson may be out of the tus-
sic. Several nights ago he sprain-
ed his knee in practice and the
chances are that True will have to
fill his place at stationary guard,
while Armil will work at True's po-
sition- Goodell and Dau will also
be ineligible for this contest and
the hopes of the Davenport squad
are not too bright.
The Moline aggregation is bent
upon redeeming itself after two
consecutive defeats last week.
Galesburg and Peoria handed the
SWedes decisive lacings and they
are going out hard for the bacon in
the next battle. The Pillow squad,
like the Islander five. is rather
light and handicapped against a
team carrying the size and height
of the men across the river.
Coach Senneff has been drilling
his charges on speed and with this
expects to sweep
the game away from the Red and

MISkE IN EAST
READY TO SNAP
UP ALL OFFERS
St. Paul Heavy En-
couraged by Recent
Victory.
BY FAIR PLAY.

copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Jan. 1S.-Encouraged
by his great showing against Char
ley Wienert, the Newark Adonis.
the other night in the Jersey
metropolis, Billy Miske said today
that he aimed to hang out in the
east for some time, accepting all
fights that are offered to him. So
far as lights go, it may be said
right now that plans are afoot to
have Miske appear at the Garden
against Gene Tunney in the near
future, the winner to meet the
winner of the Carpenter Gibbons
fight, if this bout ever comes of.
Miske is now in excellent form
and there is no reason why he
should not pick up a lot of money
in and about this city He had an
automobile repair shop in ST
Paul, but the shebang busted re-
Gently, which accounts for Miske's
renewed interest in the box fight
arena. If Billy can maintain the
pace he set against Wienert he
ought to earn more money in
short time than he could earn in
years on the gasoline route.
The only question about Miske
will be one of stamina. After Civ
ing WeineTt an artistic licking up
to the last round, the 18th, the ST.
Paul fighter permitted Charley TO
come back strong and do practic-
ally all the work in the last frame.
Aside from the fact that this proved
that Weinert is as game and willing
as they come, it causes wonder as
to how Miske would fare along a
l5-round setto. Well, we will see
soon.
Miske, by the way, has copied
the Dempsey style of fighting,
weaving in and out in such a man
ner as to bring the utmost power
of right and left to bear. At least
that is the style that Dempsey did
use up to and including the Willard
fight. No one seems to know how
Dempsey came to lose it after the
Toledo fight
You can put it down as a certain
ty that Johnny Wilson and Harry
Greb will meet in New York before
lorg-unless Tex Richard can in
duce the athletic commissioners to
let the champion take on Mike
McTigue.

II you were star ball player
how would you like to be trans
ferred from a team generally pick
ed to win a big league pennant to
a club that didn't figure to have
much of a chance?
That is the status of George
Burns, who for 10 years has been
one of the most valuable ball play
ers with the New York Giants.
McGraw sent Burns and consid-
cradle money to Cincinnati TO get
Heine Groh. He also included
Catcher Gonzales in the deal
Last season Burns had one OF
his best years. His work in the
world series with the Yankees was
one of the outstanding features of
the series.
Most players would stir up a lot
of fuss if they were in the same
position as George Burns. They
would threaten to retire from base
ball. insist on a share of the sale
price or make an exorbitant sal
airy demand.
Burns, however, is not that type
OF player. He has a very even dis
position. He has accepted the trade
to Cincinnati, and in the same
philosophical manner he has always
accepted a bad decision by the UNI
pire, as part of the business.
Il will work as hard for Pat
Moran as l did for the Giants"
Burns is quoted as saying when in
terviewed on the trade
New York has been good to me,
and l leave it as ball player with
plenty of love for the town, and the
kindly manner in which the fans
have always treated me
Il have seen some great players
break into the game and go the
road that l have to travel.
1T would be an untruth for me to
say that l was tickled to death with
the trade. The Giants should win
the National league pennant this
year and that means a lot of extra
money.
There is no use kicking-it is all
part of the game"
