half a million head of game, his
best yea being 1893 when he had
over nineteen thousand head. In that
year, while the guest of the late
Baron Hirsch in Hungary, he got
240 cartridges in one drive. On
another occasion he killed 128
grouse in a single drive.
Since he had been accustomed to
shoot only on his Yorkshire estate
he had generally brought down at
least 5000 head every season. At
accounting for 2S ph%easants in sixty
seconds. Other feats of his which
will always be remembered were
the shooting of fifty two cartridges
with fifty cartridges, of forty-six out
of forty-seven pheasants In one
drive and of APO grouse in one day.
The last two bags belong to his rec
ord of last year when he was over
10.
Lord Ripon attributed his success
as a shooter to his temperate hab-
its, his avoidance of spirits. tea and
coffee and his custom of never drink
ing at meals.
New Jersey Fish and Game Conser-
walton League
A meeting of the New Jersey Fish
and Game Conservation League has
been called for Thursday evening,
October 25, at Newark, N. j., at
which time several matters of inter-
est to sportsmen of the state will
be taken up and arrangements will
be made for the annual meeting and
dinner.
The New Jersey Federation of
County Boards of Agriculture, which
in the past has opposed the league
on a number of matters of legisla-
ton, has requested a hearing and
will probably be represented at this
meeting.
The Middlesex representatives at
this meeting will be Thorfin TAFT
of Metuchen, the president of the
league, and Chas. M. Macmillan
the Middlesex member of the Board
of Directors.
The league deserves the hearty
support of all sportsmen who have
the interests of sport at heart. II

Hungarian Clubs Ready for
Winner Take All Battle To-

Having both completed a success
full season and with the champion
ship of Woodbridge decided, the
Hungarian Catholic Club and the
Hungarian Reformed Club of that
place will engage in a contest tomor-
row the proceeds of which will go
to the winner.
The township series was decided
last Sunday afternoon when the
Hungarian Catholic Club barely
nosed out the Reformed team for the
second game of the three game
course. The first game resulted in
the Catholic Club defeating the Re-
formed nine on the former diamond
by a large margin, while the second
game was called in the third inning
when the Catholic team left the field
on a poor decision of the Jump"
The third game was to be played
as a new contest and to take place
on the Reformed Club field. This
contest was played last Sunday al
ternoon and the championship went
to the Catholic Club.
During the entire series great
crowds attended the games between
these two teams and, while just as
much interest is being displayed by
both. combinations for the single
game tomorrow, the big gathering
Is expected to turn out again.
Percy Cunningham, who has been
in the service of Ed Mooney Poul-
sen during the recent summer
months on the Raritan Copper
Works field, will oficiate in the
game.

Excellent Program For
Initial Show
On Next Friday Night

His great southpaw will be respon-
slble for the downfall of many a
good fighter, but Elizabeth fans are
of the opinion that Green will be too
much for the borough favorite at
next Fridays show. This belief
should add interest and at the same
time make the fight better than ever.
The borough boxer is more than
pleased to go into the ring with a
man who thinks he Is a world-beat-
er.
The balance of the card is made
up of a six round battle for the light
weight championship of Elizabeth,
and three tours. Two Perth Amboy
boxers are carded to g. on in differ
ent preliminary bouts.
Matchmaker Coughlin intends to
run shows every two weeks, and
there is every indication that Friday
nights will be used. Joe McNulty,
well known local referee, is expected
to referee these bouts.

MATCHMAKER
PREPARING CARD FOR
3RD NATIONAL SHOW

Although Matchmaker Ed Poulsen
of the local National Sporting Club.
had originally intended to have Joe
Colletti, former local flyweight,
e Indian Russell, Pennsylvania
fyweight contender, in the feature
bout on the next card to be pre-
sented November 8, the opponent
for the southpaw 1yweight has not
been signed to date.
When Colletti spent the better
part of his time in this city many
local fans regularly rooted against
him, but when the plan to put the
Colletti-Russel bout on was an
nounced last Tuesday night, the an
nouncement took down the house.
Russell fought Johnny Buff when
the Jersey City lad held the fly
weight title, and Colletti can be
counted on to reach the top rung of
the flyweight ladder at almost any
time. Ig this bout Is arranged it

Training should be along the same
ines as for any game involving
strength, skill, speed and endurance.
The first two weeks should be con-
fined to moderate work. For the next
four weeks the work should be hard
err but never so hard as to leave a
player exhausted. After about six
weeks of work a player should be
in good shape, and should work only
enough to keep in shape. No player
should indulge in hard scrimmage
until he has been out about two
weeks.
A player should not eat between
meals nor should he indulge in alco-
holic stimulants, tobacco, coffee ex-
cept possibly in the morning, fried
foods, pies, pastry, or cocoa. The
eating and drinking should be along
common sense lines with the indi-
vidual nan looking out for those
articles which do not agree with
him.
Always be careful of overwork.
This is particularly true regarding
scrimmage.

"Why! lists Mr.. Mallow" Gray hitched
himself farther around in his seat and leaned
forward in justifiable amazement.
"Shut up" Mallow snapped. "Frisk him,
Tony, and"
The command was cut short by a startled,
throaty cry-a hoarse sound of establishment
and rage-and simultaneously a strange, a
phenomenal thing. occurred. An unseen hand
appeared to strike down both MalOW and his
accomplce where they STOOD and 1T smote
Them moreover, with appalling force and ter
rifying effect.
The men understood vaguely what had af-
flicted them, for they had seen Gray lift one
hand from the wheel, and out of that hand
they had seen a stream of liquid or a jet of
aqueous vapOr, leap.
Gray squeezed again the rubber bulb that
he had carried in his hand these last several
miles, ejecting from it the last few drops Of
its contents, then he opened the door step

victims.
Gray fell to work promptly The bottle of

A blessed relief stole over the unfortunate
pair; they were still sick and weak, but in a
short time the acUteness of their suffering
had diminished sufficiently for Gray to help
them into the back Of his car and resume his
journey.
Within few minutes Of Gray's arrival at
Ranger, the town was noisy with the story,
for he drove down the brightly lighted main

THE TAN PROBLEM IN THE STATE
OF GEORGIA

4 S CERTAIN men in Georgia have been
~ selected by Governor Walker to frame
new system of taxation to present
to the extra legislative session in November,
it is a question which should bear heavily
upon the minds of the farmers wives until
the matter is definitely settled at the ballot
box.
Since the executive has not invited any
Georgia woman to sit in this favorite circle
of advisors, the feminine portion of the
taxpayers must endeavor to get a proper
understanding of the present situation, to
be able to comprehend what is expected of
the favored few, who are to meet and
discuss the entire proposition-which prop
ositon, if it meets the appreciation of the
governor and the general assembly, will help
or harm quite as many women as men in
this state in years to come. In 1877 the con
stitutiOnal convention adopted the ad va
loren method. According to value, the
owners of property were to be taxed five
mills on every dollar for the use of the
state. We lived for many years under that
tax act-WithOut disturbance or unrest.
In 1913 we decided to make a change
Ct mean our state authOrties). The law of
1877 directed that owners should make out
careful returns, and if the tax receiver Of
these returns was in serious doubt as to
the amount and value of property the grand
jury could be informed and. they cOulG con-
they could send for the owner and examine
him and rectify any mistake
The tax receivers, elected by the voters
grew timid and dsliked the responsibility,
so a scheme was set UP to allow the ordi-
nary or the county commissioner to pick
these men to do this one particular thing
and raise the taxes according to their own
notion.
This sounded pretty good on paper but
it worked out badly. These tax assessors
were not punishable for rewarding their
favorites or furnishing their enemies. They
were not amenabIe to any court of justice.
The owner of the property had no real OPP
portunity to find relief when he was mis-
judged.
Tt Became IntOlerable
The people of Georgia in 1920 voted for
the adjustment of this scheme, to increase
taxes. The legislature divided on the Ques-
ton. The house voted it out, and the SEN
ate lodged and defeated the plain order Of
the state.
In 1922 the entire gubernatoriaI cam
paign circled about this repeated demand
for aboHshing the tax assessor scheme.
Governor Walker was elected on this one
issue. He published his determination to
wipe it from the statutes Of the state as
his first act, if elected chief executive.
The people believed he meant what he

SABATINI
By DR.. Frank Crane

WHEN a man recommends anything he
wv likes to his friends, he is in danger
of being a nuisance, whether the
particular thing is a kind of smoking tobac-
co, a necktie, a brand of religion, or a new
book. At the same time, when one strikes
something which pleases him immensely.
it does not seem to be quite fair to keep it
to himself.
Recently I went upon a long journey and
spent many days upon the train and steam
boat. Upon this journey I found a book.
1t entitled Captain Blood" by Rafael
Sabatini.
All I can say is that when I read Cap
tain Blood" I had the same sort of an ex-
perence that I had when l was a little boy
and l heard for the first time the story of
"Jack the Giant Killer or Little Red Rid
1 passed it on to the other members OF
my family. Each read it and each was con-
sumed by the same flame that had con-
sumed me.
I do not judge of it as literature All
know of it is that it is good, swift, clean
English. But it is not of its style that /
would speak.
1t had something more than style, some
thing rare, the rarest thing indeed [ know
OF IN writing. 1t had Creative Imagination.
A magazine editor once said to me that
he wished he could get hold of a good story
every month, something in the best man.
ne: Ct Conan Doyle. replied to him that
his wishes were modest, and that he prob
ably failed TO realize that out or the billion
or so population of the world there were
probably not over three or four individuals
who could create a story, a really fresh,
vivid, gripping story.
In Captain Blood" Sabatini has proven
that he is one of these few.
1t is a story of buccaneering days in the
Spanish Main, one of the most romantic
and adventurous epochs of the world, and
the reader is taken into the atmosphere Of
the time and is made to realize all its vivid
charm, yet is skillfully kept from being
nauseated by its brutality.
