claim. Gene fought the Cleveland
rubber man II rounds late in 1925
and although the champ easily won
the decision, it must be said in
defense Of Risko that he hit
Tunney plenty.
Besides Tunney and Delaney,
Risko has fought Sharkey, Berlen-
bach, Bob Fitzsimmons, Mike Nc
Tigue, Eddie Huffman, Romero
Rojas, Young Stribling, Tommy
Loughran and a flock of others
not SO important.
Jack Dempsey was to fight
Risko last July in Detroit, but be-
fore negotiations were completed,
Dempsey received the offer to meet
Jack Sharkey in New York.
Now just how far Risko can go
toward a shot at Tunney will be
determined on Oct. 26, when he
meets Tom Heeney, who recently
stopped Jimmy Maloney in n
seconds.

ANGLERS APPROVE
SH|P-WRECK PLAN
Proposal To Create Fishing
Banks With Old Hulks
Is Popular

Sow the seacoast with derelict
ships and reap an increased crop
of fish-the novel plan proposed to
Governor Moore last month by the
State Fish e Game Commission,
has received wide endorsement
from those interests seeking to i'm
prove coast fishing. The commits
sion would take fleet of the aban-
doned useless hulks of the merch-
ant marine, now berthed in federal
shipyards, tow them to selected
points along the coast and there
blow them up, scattering their
wreckage along the ocean floor to
create new fishing banks.
A half-dozen charted wrecks off
the Jersey coast now testify to the
lure such debris, soon encrusted
with marine growths, has for fish
life. These are the most popular
angling eenters sought by the
sportsmen and commercial hook
and-line fishermen. Many of the
fishing boats travel fifty miles to
reach these spots.
Chambers of Commerce and civic
clubs of several seashore resort
cities have gone on record in favor
OF the project and it has been en-
dorsed by angling clubs, fishing
fleets and commercial fishing inter.

Driving Hog 4

His License
State Traffic Superintendent
FavOrs Driving Tests to De-
termine Hoggishness
BY EDMUND 3. LouGHRAN,
Traffic superintendent, State High
way Department

The driving hog" is still with
us and can be seen on New Jersey
roads every day He is not confined
to the truck and bus driver vehicle,
but is usually at the wheel of
passenger car. | have been taking
particular note of these drivers
$ lately and have concluded that, out
side of a drunken driver, they are
the most potential menace among
drivers because their malicious
activities are evident on all con-
ditions of roads and at all points,
whether in open country or con-
: gested towns.
set l mean by hoggish driver the
reckless individual who will not
pull over to the right side of the
road to permit following car to
pass or will not give sufficient
room for a car going opposite to
pass him, and this applies to
curves corners or straight-away
sections of road on steep grades,
bridges, and even grade crossings,
causing more accidents than any
other element in motoring.
Favors Dill Test for Them
Commissioner Dill's test should
be applied to this class of drivers,
for there is no better opportunity
to observe the psychology of
driver than in watching how he
acts toward many decent drivers on
the road, such as giving plenty of
room to allow cars to pass, moving
over to right at signal from those
wanting to pass and going in the
same direction, or in passing cars
going in opposite directions, no.
parking in the middle of the road,
stopping at corners or in prohibited
zones, at a fire hydrant or making
with a few backups and forward
motions in angling to turn the car.
By all means apply this test to
actual road driving conditions of
these hoggish drivers, most of
whom are so ugly that they inject
an added discomfort into motoring.
This, added to traffic lights,
mechanical devices, grade crossings
and unregulated traffic conditions
in general, almost make driving
intolerable for decent law-abiding
drivers.
Should Lose Licenses
Apply these tests to all these
discourteous drivers, give them a
card for each unethical act they
are caught at, file their records in
this respect and when the third
card is handed to any driving
maniac" as | call them, for they
actually court accidents, take away
their license and clear the road of
/. them.

FALL HUNTING IS
BEST in YEARS
Ringneck Pheasants 10 Be
Plentiful Throughout the
State This Year

New Jersey is offering its
licensed gunners this fall pros
pect of the best small-game hunting
in a decade. Notwithstanding it's
increasing population, the state
has shown that it still can provide
sport that would make many a
sparsely populated western common
wealth envious. 1t already has a
$1,000,000 yearly game bag to its
credit but Jersey is banking on its
sportsmen hanging up new
record this year.
The State itself has broken a
few records, this year, in the dis
tribution of fish and game in its
great restocking program. Of time
ly interest to sportsmen is the an
nouncement by the Fish and Game
Commission that more than 10000
ringneck pheasants have been
liberated in the fields and woods
during the last few months. Of
these $4,000 were reared on the
states game farms at Forked River
and Rockport; $500 were imported
from England and the balance
were purchased from pheasant
breeders in other states. In adj
dition to these birds, the Commits
sion distributed $4,000 pheasant
eggs for Matching to farmers and
sportsmen, with the provision that
the Matched birds, when old enough
to care for themselves, be liber.
ated.
Motorists report it is now a
daily occurrence to glimpse the
brilliant-plumaged cock pheasants
or the quieter toned hens on side
roads and often along the main
highways. The growing of the cock
pheasants has become a familiar
sound in woods and swamps
throughout the state. Wardens re-
port there is also a noticeable in
crease in native grouse or pine
That most popular of all small
game, the rabbit, will as usual fur
nish the biggest portion of the
seasons sport and game-food sup
ply. 1t has been a good year for
rabbits, with few rains to drown
the young, generally the most COM
mon cause for mortality among
these animals. The commission has
continued its custom of importing
several thousand western cotton
tails and these have been appor-
toned among the counties and dis
tributed in the wilder sections.
Quail have been increasing dur
ing the last few years and while
there is still closed season in the
northern counties, there will be
plenty of sport among the in

Among the army of heavyweight8
who hope to get a crack at the
crown won by Gene Tunney, is the
much improved John Risko, the
human piece of concrete. aa
AS shown in his recent 10-round
victory over Jack Delaney, the, boy
who resigned as light-heayy king
to go after the heavier men and
heavier purse Risko has improved
his boxing and not at the expense
of his punch. Last year Risko
finished a miserable second in his
first argument with Delaney.
Right now John is considered
one of the most dangerous men in
the heavy ranks. Only a pile driver
can knock him out and though not
SO fast on his feet, he makes up
for it with flying fists. He owns

WOODCOCK SEASON

Out in the Jersey forest and low
lands, multi-colored with changing
foliage hunters are opening what
promises to be one of the best
woodcock seasons of recent years.
Sportsmen in several sections re-
port an unusually heavy early
flight of these birds, which have
been given by the state the dis
tinction of a season of their own
with a special license for those who
want the privilege of hunting them
during the period between October
and the opening of the regular
upland game season on November
10.
This special season for woodcock
pleases many hunters, as the
major migratory flights of the birds
frequently in former days, had
passed before the opening of the
season ON upland game, with which
the woodcock was classed.
New, Jersey hunters will find
themselves limited this year to a
daily bag limit of four woodcock,
under federal migratory bird
regulation which became effective
last April. This supersedes the
New Jersey law which allowed a
bag limit of six birds.
The special woodcock hunting
license is issued to regularly
licensed hunters for an additional
fee of 81 by the secretary of the
commission, Walter H. Fell, at its
Trenton office. 1t permits the
holder to hunt only for woodcock.

Britain and the Soviet.

Cfamor in this country for recogni.
ton by the United States of the Soviet
government of Russia is likely to be
stilled, for a time at least, by the note
recently issued from Downing street.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, the British
foreign minister, threatens abrogation
of the Anglo Russian trade agreement
of 1921 and complete severance of dip
lonatic relations because of fragrant
violations of the solemn agreement be-
tween the two countries"
There is no mincing of words in the
Chamberlain note. Seldom in the his
tory of diplomacy has one government
ever used such blunt language in ad-
dressing another government with
which 1t was not at war. Relations
between the British government and
the union of Soviet republics says
Sir Austen, continue VIGOROUSLY of
an-ansatisfactory nature" He calls
attention to the fact that Russia
signed a solemn agreement undertake
ing not to support by funds or other
wise agencies aiming TO spread dis
content or rebellion in any part of the
British empire, and adds: Despite the
Soviet governments public protesta
tions of friendship, the highest officials
defame and misrepresent Great Brit

was being cut every field blazed with
color and animation.
There was the bronZed field the
burdened stalks bending to the ground
so that every one had to be lifted up
and cut with the sickle. The bundles
then were bound by hand and placed
in shocks as in the United States.
Then. on heavy wooden carts with
solid wooden wheels turning on creak-
ing axles. the bundles were hauled to
the stack yards.
This all kept the peasants busy,
happy and singing. Children, men
and women in the fields together,
every .dexterous hand occupied. were
gay in big sun shades and garments
rivaling Joseph's envied coat.
They sang the sagas of the race,
they rcourted and loved, they reveled
