this week.
Reporting on the progress of the
survey at a conference of members
of the commission and member Of
the Game and Fish Protective As
sociation at Dover last Saturday.
Clarence S. Foster, chief game war
den of the State, said that of ap-
proximately 10000 questionnaires
sent out to licensed hunters, about
1850 have now been answered.
Suggests Farmers Raise Game
Among suggestions considered at
the meeting was the employment of
trained men in game conservation
efforts and encouragement of farm
ers to raise game to be sold to the
State for stocking purposes and for
them to charge a fee for game kill
ed on their land by hunters.
The game employees it is suggest
ed, should be able to work with the
farmers in conservation efforts,
speak on the subject at group meet
ings, and generally carry on con-
servation educational campaign to
the public.
Special Meetings Due Soon
Asserting that Delaware has a
good game law, J. NJ. Rhodes, presi-
dent of the association, said needed
changes are minor and not revolu-
tionary. 1t is likely that special
meetings of the various chapters of
the game association will be called
shortly for consideration of plans
for new game legislation, and the
game commission will meet again to
review the opinions of game hunt
ers on any proposed legislation and
determine what bills to present be-
fore the Legislature.
DR.. William E. Harris. in letter,
suggested a game sanctuary in each
of the 80 representative rural dis
tricts of the State. with a warden
for a certain number OF
them. Much of the game, he said,
would wander away from the sane
tCary and spread out. populating the
areas, and the excess
could be trapped and sent to sec
tions shy of game.

Saturday; Game Called
at $3.50 O'clock

Wake Forest, April, l--ACcord-
ing to reports from the Richmond
University baseball camp, the
Spiders will bring one of the
strongest mines in its history to
Wake Forest Friday afternoon for
the contest with Coach John Cad
dells Deacons.
In the opening tilt of its schcd-
ule, Richmond easily defeated
Ohio State 6-l, and followed this
with a 7-3 victory over Washing
ton and Lee Easter Monday. The
Deacons opened their season with
4-3 win over D"eXel II.Jtitute
last Saturday and turned back
N. C. State Easter Monday in a
hitathon 1917.
In Bucky Jacobs and Slick Trc-
vvett, the Spiders have two sea-
Soned hurlers who take their regu-
lar turns in the outfield when not
on the mound. They are both
good hitters. The probable line
up that will face Wake Forest Fri
day afternoon follows: Toots Gar
Der, SIS; Pete jacobs. 3b: Jimmy
Mundy, CT; Jack Sanford, ID;
George George, C; Nicely Godsey,
rf: Gus Lynch, 2b: and Jacobs or
Trevvett, p.
Coach Caddell will stick to the
same nine that faced State Col
lege Monday. 1t is composed of
Irwin Dickens, SIS; Capt. Dallas
Morris, 3b; Preston Chappell, If;
Doigt Morris, CT. George Mauney,
lb; Smut Aderhold, 2b; Hal War
rem, rf; Porter Sheppard, C.
With two other games also
slated for this week to be played
here-Washington and Lee.
Thursday and Michigan State
Saturday-Coach Caddell is un-
decided as to the schedule his
hurlel3 will operate on. He has
available Joe Talley, Skinny Byrd,
and Forest Glass, and it is highly
probable that they will work in
this order. although there is a
possibility that Jessie Cole may
get the call in one of the contests.
The Richmond game will start
at $50.

Arch Rivals To
Meet Today On
HunSucker Field
Curtis Ownley, Hard.Hit.
ting Catcher, Leads
the Central Nine

This afternoon ct $3.50 Coach
Hunsuckcr's E. c. H. s. Yellow
Jackets will meet Coach Lowery's
Central Green Wave. 1t will be
the Green Waves first game of
the season, and the Jackets third
although it will be their first
hcme game. The game will fur
ther display al the bitter compe-
titiOn and keen rivalry that has
been previously shown between
the two teams in the sports ele-
ment. 1t will be comparable with
the E. City-Edenton football
game in tensenesS.
Both teams have a good many
veteran players with them this
season. Centra;'S tricky Curt OWN
Icy, who starred for the TeXaco
Beacn team last summer, will
probably lead his team to a close
battle the winner merely win
ming by getting the breaks. Either
McHarney CT Aydlett will very
likely be in the box to stop the
Green Wave from rolling over and
swamping the .tinging Jackets.
while Gregory, White and McHar-
ney will probably hold down the
bases, with Sawyer as short-stop,
and Lee, Seymour and Waldrop in
the outfield. George Jordan will
be catching, in all probability.
With both teams in top form
from constant practice, and with
blood in the eyes of both teams, it
promises to be a tense, hard
fought battle, and will, without
doubt, hold the fans intere-t from
the first minute throughout the
entire game.

Increasing interest of men in

Der had said they would attend n

ing a supplemental tax will be de-
cided.
Several of the men now inter-
ested in carrying the election for
the school forces have long been
active in political circles here, 1t
was said. and since the school pro-
posal is not a partisan issue the
women of the P.-T.A. said they
are relying largely on the advice
and support of leaders of both
political parties. The campaign
for additional school support was
first given a political complexion,
it was asserted, when a registrar

not intend to go to the polls
and whose absence would count
against the proposal.
