An adverse report ol Fosters memorial eondemning the Nelson game bill, introduced in the last Con gress by Delegate Sutherland, will be made by dhe House Committee of Fish, Game and Agriculture un- | less the majority of the members of that committee changes it's minds overnight. A hearing was held yes terday afternoon on the memorial, Delegate Sutherland, C. T. Gardner and E. P. Walker, of the Biological Survey, appearing and speaking in favor of the Nelson bill.
 The Delegate said it must be re- alized that Eastern game conserva ltion clubs, like the Boone and Crock cit and Camp Fire clubs, dictate game Legislation not only for Alaska but all over the United States. What they say goes and their opposition cannot be ignored, he said. The i Nelson bill, he said, is based on a measure introduced by him when he first went to Washington, in which he sought to establish a Fish Com mission for Alaska The game com mission, said the Delegate, in the Nelson bill is composed of Alaskans who with the Secretary of Agricul ture would control the game. He admitted he, himself, is in favor of control by the Territorial Legislature, but said the Nelson bill is the best that can be obtained and he believed 1 it would work out satisfactorily ] Foster AssaiIs Principle
 MT. Foster, in defending his memo rial. read from the Grant Fisheries Memorial, approved by the Delegate and passed recently by the Legisla- ture, as follows:
 "We have been taught to believe, and we do believe, that all the law making power of the Federal govern ment has been by the Constitution confided to Congress.
 l ''The creation of fish reserves in Alaska is for the avowed purpose of suspending the laws enacted by Con- gross and to substitute others made by bureau. We regard this as a vicious infraction of the fundamen'
 tai law of the land"
 This language" said Mr. Foster, "yoices my objections completely. The Nelson game bill is fundamentally wrong and is exactly the thing Alas kans have been fighting for years Briefly. he added the bill would wipe out all the laws heretofore passed by Congress relating ito Alaska game matters and give the Secretary of Agriculture power to substitute in their stead regulations of his own. He pointed out that the proposed commission was purely of the rubber stamp variety which was empowered
 to do nothing except make recon
 mendations to the Secretary of Agrl- culture who could adopt them or not as he saw fit. ''The point that l am
 making against the Nelson game bill Is the very same argument the Dele gate is using against the Bureau oi Fisheries in fighting the reserve sys- Item," he asserted. adding that under

BRAND new TIRES
WANTED BY Thief
Second Hand Article Holds but
Little Interest to Auto Ac-
cesSory PurIoiner.

(By ERWIN GREER. President Greer
College of Automotive Engineering,
Chicago. lll)
After an automobile has been taken
out of the establishment, where 1t was
purchased, it is no longer brand
new machine, but a secondhand one.
The market value Of such car. al
though driven but few miles, varies
with its popularity among motorists.
Secondhand Tire Not Wanted.
Exactly the same Is true in the case
of tires. A brand new tire, even
though its tread is but slightly marred
by road contact, is considered sec
ond-hand tire and its value depre-
ciates quite bit, depending upon the
popularity of the make. A second
hand tire holds but little interest to
the automobile accessory thief who
makes Il practice Of dismantling cars
Of all extras, and not the least of
these are new automobile tires. The
extra tire is perhaps the easiest Of all
the equipment of machine to steal,
unless it is padlocked to the extra tire
rack.
1t is my advice to motorists to put
their new tires on the wheels as. soon
as they are purchased and run them
for several hundred miles. This will
greatly diminish the desire of the
thief for stealing your used tire-a
tire which will bring oneh half the price
of new one.
Tires Stolen Are New.
This information comes after an in
vestigation which shows that approx
mately 80 per cent of all tires stolen
are new ones. From the viewpoint of
value tire that has been run several
hundred miles is worth practically as
much as new one However, motor
sists are bit wary of any tire that
Is not absolutely brand new and has
the paper covering on it.

Caution and Courtesy

An act of courtesy is crafty
ing to all concerned in it. Two
persons meeting on the street or
a doorway are usually courteous
and show consideration to each
other; the same two persons
meeting on the road while driv-
ing are often quite discourteous.
Cutting In and out Of traffic is
one of the worst forms of driv-
ing.
The man who tries to pass
every one on the road does not
always get by.
Help the fellow motorist IL he
is in trouble on the road.
Share your gas with the man
who is stranded far from a fill
ing station.
Don't try to take up the en-
tire width of the road.
Always give way to the man
on an uphill grade.
When meeting another car at
night It is courtesy to dim your
light and give the other fellow
n chance.
Remember that your wheels
will throw water from pools in
the road IL you do not slow
down. If anyone is near, show
the consideration you would ex-
pect.
Right of way is usually given
to horse-drawn vehicles.
Give your signals when turn
ing or stopping, and watch for
signals of other cars.

fitting and proper that L credit Babe
Pinelli of Cincinnati with pulling the
trickiest play 1 ever saw.
Some years ago the Carlisle Indians
pulled the hidden-ball trick In football
against Harvard. Receiving the
kickoff, the Carlisle interference
formed for the runner with the ball.
Getting behind the interference, the
runner, who had received the kick
off, stuck the ball under the back of
the Jersey worn by Dillon.
Then the Indians separated and all
dropped their arms to their sides as
they raced down the field toward the
Harvard goal. The Crimson players
were unable to dope it out. Dillon
ran the length of the field for a
touchdown.
The next year the rules committee
legislated against the hidden ball
trick. 1t no longer has a place in the
gridiron sport Such action has sew

NEW YORK, Jan 19.-Gibbons no

and a certified check for 80 500 that

The rules. however. do not always
work, as Harry Wills still has a very

There seems to be little question
that the winner Of the Gibbons-John-

sey eventually. Tex Richard plans to
use Gibbons early in the summer with
Dempsey if he'wins, but if Johnson,
Tex may have to steam Floyd up
with another bout-perhaps with

All the wind seems to have es-

passed up the proposition-for the

Of fifteen rounds to a decision in to-

Harry Cooler. manager of the Cooler

The dates will be Jan. 20, 80 and

Indianapolis will be one Of the few
cities outside of the large Eastern

seeing Hoppe in action this winter,
according to r. B. Benjamin, the
champions manager.
No Extensive Touring
Much of Hopes time is taken up
through his duties at the HoppePe-
terson Billiard Club of New York
City, and he is not doing extensive
touring as in past years.
Hoppe is one of the few successful
come-backs Of the sport realm and
among the most popular Of title
holders. He is soon to defend his
title in a match with Jake Schaefer.
It was Schaefer who uncroWned
Hoppe and it was the same Schaefer
whom Hoppe defeated to regain the
worlds championship. Their next
meeting will occur in March in New
York City, it is said.
In the exhibitions to De given in
Indianapolis Hoppe and Peterson will
play twice daily at the champions
