Bucks County is building up a
reputation as wild animal" center
among some of the Philadelphia
folks. One motorist caught sight of
what he believed to be pack of
wolves, near Doylestown, the other
day, and stepping on the gas, hur-
ried back to the Quaker City, where
the police are supposed to keep the
festive wolf from the door. 1t was
later ascertained that he saw pack
of Belgian police dogs at the Cong
don Farms, and they do bear some
resemblance to wolf-at least to
scary city folk who think they are
lost in the wilderness when they get
out of sight of skyscraper or traf-
tic cop.

SEVEN DEER SHOT in One DAY
ALONG RIVER AT PIT. PLEASANT
Bucks County Has Gained Reputation as the
Wild and WooHy East During the Past
Week, Through Game Hunfing


Seven deer were shot Saturday in
Tinicum Township, adjoining Point
Pleasant, eight miles up the Della
ware from New Hope.
Five of the number were killed at
or near the island north of Point
Pleasant, one was killed beyond the
main highway, and the other near
Shutdown.
1t is "A question in the minds of
some of the people whether or not
this kill of seven has not eliminated
practically all the deer around Point
Pleasant, but others think there are
plenty of deer. but that they are too
wild to be seen by the hunters, of
whom there were aplenty.

A repeater of the daylight saving
ordinance was also introduced at
Tuesdays meeting Of the Commits
sioners, and will come up for final
action Christmas Day.
Daylight saving was voted upon at
the last election, there being TIT
against it to $40 for it, every vot-
ing district giving majority against
its continuance. Three times at
public hearings, once by sworn petit
lions and once at a general election
the majority has been decisively OPP
posed to its official use in this city,
and it is now believed that it will
be dropped by the City Commission,
which has adopted, repealed and
adopted the measure during the past

cation could be secured in the more
built-up sections for less than $780,
900, which would have been added
to the s1s5, 1000 needed for new
school on the hill. 1t is also antici-
pated that the the future growth of
the city will be mostly eastward
from the present High School, max
ing it the most desirable location
after all.
The general specifications of the
proposed new building are that it
will add twelve classrooms, and Il
large auditorium, which can also be
converted into gymnasium uses. A
number of people have long hoped
that suitable auditorium could be
provided for high class musical and
other entertainments, which local
organizations cannot bring to this
city because of the lack of suitable
quarters for holding them.

kicks up q few sparks with q
statement made at Atlantic City,
where Barney and John Heydler
and Ban Johnson are now busy
drawing up the major league
schedules.
1t is Dreyfuss' opinion that, after
all, there MAY be q few conflicting
Sunday games here next season,
but the ''kick" in his remarks
comes when he declares that the
Yankees have nothing to say in the
matter.
Not word have they got to
say" asserts the astute Pitts
burgher, who makes the schedules
while Johnson and Heydler stand
around and approve them.
1T doesn't matter whether one
club objects or not. never heard
of any baseball law prohibiting con-
flicts just because they are not
welcome to a certain club. IT the
schedule calls for conflicts, the
Yanks will have to play the games
or forfeit them"
Dreyfuss is said to have con-
verted Heydler to his point of view.
and he also claims that Johnson
personally is not opposed to con-
flicts in this city, but is merely
upholding his two club owners
here.
The National League, then, would
be presenting g. solid front, and
Johnson might waver enough to
pass the ticklish question along to
the magnates. That would mean
another war" at the February
meetings.
There is one point in Dreyfuss'
favor: He will get no more Sun
day games here with conflicts OF
without. Two and only two are
Barney's portion Last year he got
only one. The Braves and pills
will be the chief beneficiaries.
One thing the schedule drafterS
did decide upon, and that was the
opening dates of the season-April
II for the National League, April
18 for the American. The Red
Sox Will open the new stadium and
be out in time to let the Athletics
move in on Sunday.
The Giants will start at Boston
on Tuesday, get the double-head
plum on Patriots day and leave
probably Friday night, opening In
Brooklyn on Saturday.
The McGraWmen would not mind
playing three series on the road be-
fore coming to the Polo Grounds,

Not Always Size.

~ NDURANCE is not always
given to the big man. The
Japan war opened the
eyes of Europeans to the marvel
Gus endurance of the little men
of Nippon. The Japanese troops
did things unexpected Of them.
In athletics, however, certain
rules exist, as in other things,
and one is that a big man usually
makes better sprinter than a
little fellow, while a little fellow
is better in the distance events.
Allowing for the exceptions prov
ing the rule, this is so.
In baseball, though, only pre-
conceived ideas govern the case.
For stretch Of years in the old
game size had little or nothing
to do with it. Today the big
man is sought, especially as out
fielders, catchers and pitchers.
Joe Judge is an example Of the
small first baseman who is a
success. Usually a man like
George Kelley, Of the Giants, or
Wally Pipp. of the Yankees, is
considered the better fitted for
the place. We'd rather. have Judge
than both Kelley and Pipp. But
that's our individual preference.
They say thirdsackers and short
stops may we'll be midgets, but
how about Frank Baker and
George Mcbride, while Larry
Lajoie was as good a second
sacker as the game has ever pro-
duced. All three were sixfooters,
On the other hand, barring Kelley,
the Giants infield of 1922 is made
up of little men.
Never mind the size of a mans

head, it's his heart which counts
Willie Keller had a mans sized
