States Bureau OF Fisheries, speaking on
the subject, said:
II had always assumed, up to the
present time, that the introduction Of
carp was one of the sins of the first
Commissioner OF Fisheries, Spencer
Baird. have, however, found in the
transactions Of the American Institute
for 1850, the following statement:
Mr.. Meigs-We are pleased to see
among US Capt Robinson Of Newburgh,
who brought the carp from England
several years ago-thuS comforting q
great benefit upon this country by the
addition OF a fiSh before that unkonwn
in our waters.
Capt. Robinson.-I brought the
carp from France about seven years ago,
put them in the Hudson River, and
obtained protection for them from our
legislature, which passed a law imposing
flne Of $50 for destroying them
The Bureau Of Fisheries has I'M
doubtedly been responsible at different
times for transporting some of these
fish to different sections upon request.
The carp may be detrimental to game
fish, but the instances where 1t has ac-
tual1y driven out the latter from waters
which are well suited to game fsh are
rare. The disappearance of game fish
and the abundance of carp may mean
conditions making the carp the only
form that can live under the new con-
ditionS or the actual driving out of the
game f1Sh by the carp as an enemy
form. In the great majority Of cases
the former condition prevails"
Years ago small supplies by the Fed
eral Government were in such demand
that the names Of ponds in which the
carp was placed for breeding purposes
were withheld. The carp thrived, there
is no question about that. A carp of 20
pounds produces upward of 2,000,0 900
eggs as compared with 20, 900 by Amer
lean building fishes.
Despite anything that may be said in
favor Of the carp, instead of fine of
$50 for destroying them, hundreds of
thousands Of dollars have been spent
in the last 10 years to get rid of them,
without any permanent results, in Diff
ferent sections of the country, and, to-
day, the Bureau of Fisheries has placed
them in the "undeSired class of citizens
of the Deep"
IT Is customary for those who have
not studied the situation to blame
the sportsmen for the destruction of
wild life and game in the country. The
exact opposite Is true. The organized
sportsmen have become the leaders in
every movement tending to protect and
conserve game and fish. They have
been the active element in securing
protection for game animals, birds and
Ash In both Federal and State laws, and
the most active interest in enforcing
these laws. They better than any 9TH
ers in America, know the necessity of
protecting our wild life and saving a
remnant Of our outdoors.
It Is not the Sportsmen. but the
sport" and the game and fish hog
against whom we need protection. The
true sportsman is q natural conServa-
ZIONIST.

r UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA is
planning a good deal Of work
within the next year in the way
of improvements in its facilities
for intercollegiate athletics and es-
pecially in providing larger recreational
opportunities for the general student
body. Improvements contemplated also
include more practice fields for varsity
teams.
I'VE have been more cramped for
space for varsity teams than any other
school in the South" said prominent
Virginia man this morning, and I be-
lieve our board of visitors is about ready
to do some real worthwhile work along
this line. Also the board is very much
interested in providing greater facilities
for general student recreation. These
things have not received a good deal of
attention from the university in past
years, and as a consequence Virginia is
tagging far behind less favorably stu
ated and much smaller universities.
The most encouraging factor in con-
nection with athletics at Virginia, to
my mind. is the awakening interest In
the board of visitors. Those who have
never visited Charlottesville cannot
realize how big are the disadvantages
under which we have labored. Our
squads have had less space in which to
practice than any other university
know. and our students generally have
lacked the outdoor recreational OPP
portunities they ought to have. l am
not at liberty just now to say what Is
to be done, but can say without much
doubt that the next year or two will
see Virginia stepping out to do big
things along this line"
Virginia people here will be glad to
get this information. They know, espe-
cially those that have taken part In
athletics how the foot ball squad has
been cramped for space in which to
practice, how the base ball squads have
not had sufficient opportunities to work
out satisfactorily and in addition to
that the diamond and track and field
practice have interfered with each
other. The news that Virginia is about
to build more practice fields, provide
enough tennis courts to give students
frequent opportunities to play and make
other recreational improvements will fall
as welcome words on the ears of those
really interested in the university.

TOday's Golf Workout.
THE point has often been discussed
L as to why Bobby Jones kept his
feet so much closer together than most
good golfers. Even on full shots his
stance is comparatively narrow, and on
chip shots and short pitches the heels
are only an inch or two apart.
The answer Is fairly simple. He has
found that with the feet closer together
there is less body tension, less tempta-
ton to brace with one leg or the other
There is q greater feeling Of ease and
body rest
Feet and legs that are spread well
apart help to tie up the remainder Of
the body. The narrower stance calls
for less body action and for easier
body action and in this way gives the
hands and arms a better chance to
swing the clubhead.
There always Is greater tension on
the shorter spots, where one hopes or
expects to get the ball fairly close 20

Another probleml Here the hilt is
somewhat behind the ball. How can
one swing club so it will pick a ball
clean from such a lie? You may re-
call your. tendency to push or slice
such shot.
Also that most upsetting of lies, the
one where the ball is on a plane below
your feet. Recall how you tend to fall
into it or to either top or slice? Well,
the shot can be made without doing
that.
