Wide License Opposed
Taking a stand against the elimina-
ton of the county hunting license, the
Grantsville branch of the Garrett
County Sportmen's Association held
it's meeting last Tuesday night. j. U.
Stanton, president, gave a report of
the county organization meeting at
Oakland the night previous. The local
sportsmen went on record favoring no
change in the license law. D. c. Rid
ings, Bloomington, wrote a letter de-
nouncing the proposed change with
viggor.
The rabbit restocking program was
another matter of Importance up for
discussion. Richard Browning, district
game warden, Of Oakland, stated that
forty-eight, in groups of four, would
be distributed in this section, out of
the 348 allotted to Garrett county.
Restocking of the Casselman River
with bass and the stocking of the
Pleasant Valley recreation area waters
with bass and the establishment of a
game refuge here, were discussed, but
no further action was taken.
A motion that the legislative COM
mittee make an effort to have repealed
the law which prohibits the State game
warden and the Inland Fish Commits
sion from buying land in Garrett
county, was carried, as this is the only
county in the State where such over
ship is prohibited.
The local unit is continuing its feed
ing program for wildlife and those
knowing of game, especially deer and
rabbits, in need of food, are asked
to contact Mr.. Stanton, D. W.. Hersh-
berger or H. L. burst, Grantsville, or
Jesse Merrill, Avilton, the officers of
the local organization, who will see
that the necessary food is provided.
The Conservation Department has
agreed to take care of the incurred eX-
pense of this project.
Interest in the vermin contest is
mounting in this section. Asa House,
of the New Germany community, has
gained $50 points with two foxes ana
ten skunks.
Local sportsmen will meet again on
March IL.
Locals Defeat Addison
Grantsville High cagers defeated
the Addison (Pa.) Independents 1921
on the local floor Thursday afternoon,
and with the exception of the second
quarter were leading the Pennsylva-
mans. Getting off to a good start, the
Grantsville boys were on top 1874 at
the quarter. Coach Bill Grimm put in
his second stringers the next frame,
but the subs were unable to cope with
the visitors and Grantsville went
scoreless that period, while Addison
scored II points for a 1912 edge at
the intermission. Grantsville gained
the lead again in the third frame, 2l-
10. The second team played the last
two minutes of the game. Schaefer
rippled the cords five times for total
of ten points and Mckenzie and burst
each shared three field goals and one
foul for Grantsville. Shope, forward,
made four of Addison's eight field
goals.
