and whenever opportunity offered
there was much criticism of the or
ganization because it sent its players
out on its grounds on the first day
OF the week TO play for cash.
AS the population changed in the
West the City of Chicago grew into
Sunday base ball and the force of the
National League argument began to
lose its significance.
Anson greatly hated, when a batter,
TO be sent TO first base on called balls.
He wanted to hit the ball a mile.
He did not hesitate. however, TO let
his own pitchers send batters to first
on four balls, unless some one bluffed
him about his cowardice, and then,
hair bristIing, he would order a
pitcher to throw the ball straight
over and show the spectators that
the Cubs weren't afraid of any one
on earth.

INDIANS MUST
HUNT IN SEASON
CAN NOT KILL OUT OF SEASON
ON RESERVATION, is
THE DECISION

Hereafter, according to law pass
ed at the last session of congress,
Indians on reservations will have to
live up to the game laws of the state
in, which the reservations are part.
Indians on the Bad River reserva-
ton and on the Red Cliff reservation
have been killing game and shooting
ducks out of season, claiming that the
treaty of 1854 gave them that right.
They have been upheld by the Indian
department until the last session of
congress passed an act which put
them under the same rules as any
other citizen in regard to hunting
and fishing
The matter was referred to Wash
ington by P. A. Everest local Indian
agent when John Ok of Bayfield, was
arrested for having venison in his
possession. He was fined but stated
that it was meat purchased from an
Indian who had killed it lawfully on
the reservation. Washington answer
ed that the Indians must obey local
game laws as well as federal game
laws.
This will mean much to sportsmen
in this vicinity especially the duck
hunters who hunt at Kakagon. In pre-
vious years the Indians killed ducks
all the year around and especially in
the nesting season. This kept the
ducks on the move and spoiled the
fishing grounds in the fall. The fed
eral decision will mean that Kakagon
will become one of the best hunting
grounds in the northwest Washburn
Times.

ASKS FoR REHEARINe

The law firm Of Fawsett, Smart &
Shea, of Milwaukee, attorneys for the
Eagle River high school district in
their suit with the Maryland Casual
ty Company, and which was recently
won by the district in Supreme Court
after the bonding company had taken
an appeal, notified the school board
this week that the attorney for the
company had made motion for re-
hearing of the case. In view of the
fact, that all of the evidence had
been thoroughly gone over before in
the two trials, it is doubtful if the
Supreme Court will grant the motion.

LaOna Handed Local Hi

WON GAME IN 1ST FIVE MINUTES
VISITORS HAVE TOURNAMENT
TIMBER-GlRLs WON 10 TO o

Gompletely outplaying the local
high school basketball team in the
first period of the game here last
Friday, the speedy Laona quint cinch.
ed two-to-one victory, that ended
with score of % to IA, besides cop
ping the honor of being the first team
to defeat the locals on the floor of the
new high school gymnasium in the
three seasons it has been in use.
Aside from that first period when La
ona piled up 16 points in che first
five minutes against Eagles 5, the
game wasn't hard to watch, even
though the visitors outplayed the
home boys at most every stage of the
game, and had Eagle made the start
1t usually does, the score would have
been more nearly even at the finish,
conceding of course, that Laona
would have won, because they played
superior game
Eagle scored on it's first play and
Laona did the same before the game
had gone thirty seconds, and then on
for the next five minutes the visitors
had things all their own way with
Bowling, their star forward caging
four, their lanky center two, and Mar
tin and MedenWaldt each one. Coach
Kracht pulled Renk from left guard
and put in Pride at this time, and the
whistle stopped the slaughter with the
count at l6 to in the visitors favor.
Eagle came back strong in the sec
ond period and did some guarding
that upset all the Laona calculations
in spite of their well worked five-man
defense. It was an uphill fight for the
local boys, but they came through and
stopped the Laona attack-played
them even-each side scoring a sin
gle goal.
Bolstered UP by their showing in
the second, Eagle hit a terrific pace
again in the third period, this time
o'SAA oSCSSAAA6 IuC4A P1OflOuS squirt,
getting points to Laona's A..
The final period saw the visitors
hitting their stride again, with Eagle
apparently weakening as the game
neared the close The home team
failed to add any more to their total
in spite of the fact that fouls gave
them a couple Of opportunities. La
ona played in better form, adding
three goals, which left the final score
at % to IA in their favor.
It is doubtful if a better balanced
smoother working quint than Laona
will be seen on the home floor this
season. They are a team of veterans
who have played together for three
years, which means all in teamwork
especially when each Individual is as
well placed as they are. There is no
discredit in losing to them-in fact
there is a certain satisfaction in seeing
Laona take the first game from the
locals in the new gym, because it had
| to come sooner or later and the La
ona boys are nice lot of clean
| sportsmen VINO won their game by
| superior playing. Had the locals lost
by fluke against team of lesser
caliber that would have been another
story.
