Since the advent of Thomas L. Beck as chairman of the State Board of Fisheries and Game there has been increasing activ- ity within this body. It is now easily the most publicized branch of our State De- partment and that goes for the Highway and Motor Vehicle Departments, too. We don't say this is all due to MT Beck's in- fluence, but certainly some of it may be credited to him. The latest movement is the enlistment of all nature lovers in Con- necticut in campaign to restore all forms of wild life. A league is to be formed so that more normal conditions may be cre- ated throughout the state so far as the lives of our native birds, animals, and fish are concerned. A regular organiza- tion is proposed, whose officers would act jr an advisory capacity towards the State Board of Fisheries and Game. There will be membership fee of $1 year. Any funds will be devoted solely towards wild life conservation. It has been pointed out that the presence of just such fund would have saved the lives of thousands of birds that died this winter because they were unable to obtain food. We feel sure that enlistment in this cause will be spontan- eous and in surprisingly 'large numbers.

Anybody know when or where whales sleep? Capt Fred Peterson of Seattle can answer all questions regarding the habits of these mammals, save the above. As a matter of fact we doubt if science could answer it. It took a good many years to find out where all the fresh water cells went when they took to the oceans. Now they have something else to keep them busy.

The Celtic Medical society was organized in 1908 and consisted of twenty physicians, whose purpose was to establish a Catholic hospital here.

One of the growing businesses of this nation, odd as it may seem, is that of col lecting things. For years there have been stamp collectors, autograph hunters, not to mention those who could indulge their fancy in buying up antique furniture, etc. But the hobby of collecting right now en- compasses almost everything imaginable. People even save match boxes, not to men, tion china dogs, elephants, and like bric- a-brac. Coin collectors rank next to the philatelists (stamp collectors). Then there are people who save guns and pis tols, old hitching posts, arrowheads, cir GUS posters and pictures, pictures of rail road trains, Currier and Ives prints, ship models. There's hardly anything you mention, but what some place in this na- tion you'll find man, woman, boy or girl saving it, simply for the sake of saving. Remember when you used to save post cards in albums? If you had them today, you could find market, provided you knew where to look.

MORE SIGNS OF SPRING

There are other portents, though, which are just as infallible as blue birds. They've put some open street cars in service on Madison avenue, and from Fifth avenue of flee windows it is possible to look down and see bustop riders hold ing hands. There's a tremendous boom in the baby carriage market. A chorus girl, hurrYing from her side-street rooming house for a high-noon breakfast on Broadway, went without stockings. There are light street frocks on the wax dunn mics in the shop windows.
 Thetiny old lady who cranks a hurdy-gurdy in the midtown dis trict has emerged from her biher- nation. And down on the east side tenement windows are being pried up for the first time in months by slatternly women who like to sit all day with their elbows on the sills. A sidewalk artist has taken up his post on Central park south.
 Night club tenors are getting downdight maudlin in their choice of songs. Chorus girls are cultiYat-
 ing new crop of diamond beubles.
 "At liberty" actors have resumed their all-day kibitzing in front of the Palace theater. Ten cent stores have got in their new line of plants wrapped in celophane, containers of rich topsoil at dime a quart, and fishing tackle. Book beer signs are blooming here and there. Gypsies aresnooping around vacant stores, looking for summer quarters. Sal ly Rand has bought some new fans. And the Group theater has sent around a press notice in rhyme, titled: "Triolet Applauding the Inn minence of Spring, and More Par ticularly the Relative Imminence of the Premiere of GentleWoman., {,

BETWEEN COURSES

bEl WHEN COOhSES
 One of the new spring sports promises to be snail racing. Some body at a French restaurant called the Escargot dor thought it up the other evening, and since there always are plenty of live snails at the Golden Snail, customers hence forth will have something to amuse them while waiting for the other. less lucky snails to be cooked in parsley and butter. The betting gets pretty heavy when a couple of good racing snails are discovered, but the result Is about as uncertain as jumping bean contest. The jumping bean season hasn't opened yet.
 Thebest novelty gamling game is played with live mouse. A trap door is opened, allowing him to come into sight under a large bell jar. All around him are numbered holes-exits into the base of the contraption. When he dives into one of these holes, and the. player who holds the corresponding number win sthe jackpot.

STARS
BRIGHT SPOTS
Of 1884

The baseball season Of 1884,
about to fade out of the picture
has been q season Of ups and
downs. Attendance hasn't been
anything to write home about;
a lot of teams that expected to
go places have wound up back
Of the eight balls; injuries have
been exceedingly prevalent and
troublesome.
But-there's a silver lining
and in this case the silver lining
is the unusual number Of remark
ably good ball players in. the
freshman class. A lineup Of Ma
tional League freshmen, tossed
together as a team, might not
win any pennants-but it would
be a tough outfit to lick.
It would have power and speed
and fielding ability; it would be
a team to fear at bat-and the
pitching would be really high
class. Without in any way at
tempting to pick an "all7star
rookie team" from this years
freshmen candidates-here's a
National League first year lineup
that wouldn't look so bad in any
towns uniform.
Dannin, Giants, catcher.
Camilli, Phil, first base.
Lavagetto, Pittsburgh, second
base.
Frey, Brooklyn, shortstop.
Mallon, Boston, third base.

To PLAY
IN DUKE TILT

DURHAM, N. c., Oct. 11.-Some
of the greatest football players in
the country will be seen in action
in Duke Stadium Saturday when
the Blue Devils Of Wallace Wade
meet Georgia Techs Golden Tor
nado in the 1884 Battle Of the
South"
Heading the list are Capt. Jack
Phillips of Tech and Corky Cor
neliuS of Duke. Two of the great
est performers in Southern foot
ball last year, these two ball
carrying aces of their respective
teams are ranked with the top
performers in the United States
this season.
Another Georgia Tech 1umi-
nary whose name has for two
years been prominent in Dixie
gridiron circles is Clarence
Shorty Roberts, midget but
dynamic quarterback for the Vel
low Jackets. He is a punt-returner
extraordinary and one Of the
fastest, most brilliant runners in
the South.
Duke has another back who is
on his way toward making a great
name for himself in football.
He is Jack "The Scooter" Alex
ander, 165-pound Blue Devil full
back, who has shown great
ground-gaining ability in slipping
through opponents lines this
season.

FLAYS TROJANS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1.-THE
trojanS Of the U University OF
Southern California, now en- route
east to do battle with Pittsburgh'S
Panthers, have gone Hollywood" !"
according to a charge IN the daily
Trojan school newspaper.
The blast against the absent
squad created considerable stir
on the campus but there were few
to defend the Trojans who fell
from grace Saturday when Wash
ington State handed them a 10
to o defeat.
It was pointed out that for the
last several years the Trojan
footallers have had extra work
at the film studios in Hollywood
and often are guests at. ban
quets and parties sponsored by
prominent film personages.
The editorial commenting on
the Washington State victory
said:
sit marked the victory Of q
team that plays football for the
games sake over q team of
HOllywOOd-struck boys who once
knew how to play football, but
having been persuaded that
they are already All-AmericanS

With the elusive running Of
Buzz Berries and the kicking and
line-hitting Of Bill Clark as its
strongest weapons, there can be
no doubt that the Navy has the
strongest and most varied attack
it has been able to deliver for
years. It is also building up a
group Of backs, some Of whom
are bound to do telling work
before the end of the season.
Passers Good
The passing game also looks
to be more certain and varied
than it has ever been. All four
Of the regular backs, Berries,
Clark, Dick Pratt and Tom King,
may either heave the ball sue
cessfully or, with the ends, turn
up as the receiver. Already, the
Navy team has used the pass to
score, and on many occasions to
make needed yards and. save the
ball.

Capt. Dick Burns and Dave
zabriskie at the guards, and Lou

UP splendidly, making up for its
lack Of weight by intelligent
aggressiveness.

VETERAN ACE.
ROLLSF|NE
SCORES
BY SID KATZNELL

Howard Campbell, Lucky Strike
sage, is entering his twentieth
year on the drives and is still
hopeful of regaining the form
that brought him national fame
in 1880, when he was second in
the United States to Roy Won
Dreele, great Baltimore bowler.
That particular year Campbell
chalked up the then unheard
average of 121 for a season in
the National Capital League, but
since he has turned in mediocre
averages.
However, the veteran displayed
sparks of the 1880 form last
week when he spilled the pins
for 401 set.
Howard is the originator Of
the Campbell Sweepstakes, one Of
Washington's major events. At
one time Campbell was consid-
cred the foremost singles shoot
er in this part Of the South.
Promising Star
Don Hopper, II year old, who
first saw the light Of day in Balti'

ing young duckpinners in the Dis
trict, according to Paulie Harrison

"'He possesses everything. that
makes q good bowler. He has
form, accuracy and he is cool
under fire"
Hopper is averaging better than

The ends, so far, have not been
