MUSKRAT SEASON
OPENS MARCH lST
Game Warden Johnson, Tells of
Decision of State Game and
Fish Commission

Word comes from j. Albert john
son, game warden for this part of
the state, that the muskrat season
would open on March LIST and close
on March 10th. Questionnaires were
mailed out to each game warden of
the state by the Commissioner of
Game and Fish regarding the num-
Der of muskrats in the neighborhood
of each warden as comparison to last
year and also asking each warden if
they would suggest an open season
and the length of the same.
Fifty per cent of the wardens adj
vocated an open season, twenty-five
per cent of them advocated closed
season and twenty-five per cent ad-
vocated having a very limited open
season. For the most part early
March was recommended as the open
days.
Going by the questionnaires, the
Commission established new policy
by having the season open at IL
o'clock noon on March LIST, and close
at IL o'clock noon, March 10th. 1t
is the anticipation Of the Commission
to have an open season each year,
for short duration.
with the season opening on March
LIST for period of ten days, there is
no question but what many "sooners"
will be at work when they realize
that they can dispose of the skins
after March 1st," said Mr.. Johnson,
"every effort will be made in my ter
ritory to see that such laws are not
violated. An arrangement has been
made so that the territory will not
only be covered in the day time, but
at night as WE'LL
Mr.. Johnson also calls to the at
tention> of all trappers that proper
care of the rat houses be given and
that all houses opened are resealed to
prevent freezing.

From time to time objection has
been made to the county assisting
in this work. 1t is argued by those
who oppose it that only those who
wish to keep an agent should pay,
which would mean that the farm bu-
reau would have to pay the county
share. Usually the question has been
decided upon the broad basis that the
county agent is the local link in the
chain of state and federal agricul-
tural experimental work and that it
is a general public matter and re-
suits in benefits to the public welfare.
The county board expects to learn
whether the voters look upon the mat
ter in that light, or whether there is
a strong adverse sentiment.-Morgan

Lower Auto Licenses Proposed

Lower Auto Licenses Proposed
Senator C. A. Lund of Otter Tail
county has put in bill reducing Ii
censes on motor vehicles-a slash
which would result in loss of about
$750,000 per year to the state high
way fund, it is estimated. The mini
mum license fee would be reduced
from $40 to $3.50 and there would be
corresponding reductions on higher
priced cars and trucks, if the Lund
bill passes-which it won't, in all
probability.
1t is probable that the bill diverting
one third of the gasoline tax from the
state highway fund to the county
boards for use in improving county or
local roads will pass the house this
afternoon. 1t is being fought by
members from the big cities and a
few others. No action yet on the
bill to raise the gas tax. Commits
sioner Babcock is pulling hard for a
four cent tax.

Windy City Is Serious ChaI-
Ienger for 3-Year-0Id
Turf Championship.

BY the Associated Press.
~HICAGO, June IT. - The claim
of Clyde Van Dusen to the
title Of the best 3-year-old
~ of the season, established by
his victory In the Kentucky
Derby, has dwindled, and Windy City,
winner Of the American Derby Satur-
day, has arisen to position of serious
consideration.
Clyde Van DuSen, son of Man o. War,
found the going too tough in the Amer
lean Derby, at the Washington Park
track, and he finished a struggling
eighth in field of nine horses. DR..
Freeland, winner of another major
stake, the Preakness, could do no better
than fourth, while Naishapur only
added to his reputation as a great fin
isher by taking second to Windy City.
African, one of the hopes of the East,
was third.
Three major tests remain to be de-
cided, and Clyde Van Dusen, Windy
City, DR.. Freeland and Blue Larkspur,
which did not run at Washington Park
Saturday, all have opportunity to
establish q definite claim.
The big races yet to be run are the
Latonia Derby next Saturday, the
Dryer Stakes at Aqueduct and the
American classic at Arlington Park,
July IS.
Blue Larkspur is the only double
winner, having emerged victorious in
the Belmont and Withers stakes.

The first third of the way has been
travelled, but for the Athletics it has
been anything but the hardest. Even
though Cleveland outsmacked the Mack
men by 10 to in Cleveland yesterday
as the Yankees were sinking the Tigers
by ! to for the third time in four DAYS.
the Phtladelphians passed the 51-game
mark with 80 victories and only IL de-
featS for percentage of .765 and lead
of eight games over the Yankees.
This record is two games below the
inquire reached by the Hugmen in the
first 81 engagements last year, but is
five games better than the mark of the
1927 Yankees, who set an American
League record with 10 victories and a
1925, the firSt year OF their current
reign, showed 81 victories and IA de-
feats in their first 81 skirmishes.

This sloppy slabbing Melted the
Mackmen a total of SO runs, an
average of about seven TALES per
contest. That's fought to beat.
The Nationals in the IS engage
mentS thus far have denied the
plate 81 times. That gives them
an average of better than four
runs per game. Yet they have
beaten Comics henchmen but
once, and since scoring that lone
victory have begl licked by the
league leaders 10 times in a row.
Nine members of the Washington
staff have faced the Athletics, and all
have felt the sting of the Philadelphia
pounding. Never this season has a
pitcher of the Nationals been able to
start and complete battle with the
house of Mack. In six of the tits
johnson was forced to send two hurlers
TO the hill. In four of them he had to
employ three slabmen, and in three of
the clashes as many as four Washing
ton hurlers crashed into the box score
II they did nothing else.
Throw to AS and Duck.
Not for years has any one club ham
inered a National slabbing corps SO un-
merc1fully as have the Athletics treated
JohnSon's Fingers this season. It seems
that whenever a pitcher in Washing
ton uniform steps to the tee against
the Mackian horde this year he throws
and ducks. His pitches come back at
him much faster than he sent them up
to the batters. No wonder johnson
doesn't like to think about his pitching
staff when game with Mack'S maulerS
impends.

month, the Nationals will be given
plenty to do by Eastern rivals before
starting a tllree-week round of the
league on July /. There1l be no game

Tuesday and Wednesday of next week
the Yankees will visit for contests, then
the Nationals will journey to Boston for
q three-game set. They are to hop back
here to tackle the Athletics again on
