He is by far tho best player on the Islands. "There is only one thing against him he Is very dark. There is a strain of Chinese blood in him, but his features do not show it. He looks like a typi cal Kanaka. We had a good time on the trip and It is surely some place. Hoping to battle you in tho Spring. I am, Justin Fitzgerald."

DAY ENDS DUCK SEASON KKOKRAL LAW PROTECTS BIRDS AFTER Sl'.VSKT TONIGHT, Slate Act Conflict, but Game Wardea Flaley Announces Weeka-McLeaa .Measure Will Be Enforced. Precisely at 4:65 o'clock this after noon the curtain will be runs down on one of the most successful duck and geese seasons in the history of th state. According to the Federal law it is unlawful to shoot migratory birds after sunset January la. As a resul there will be much activity today at the various gun clubs in Oregon, fo no more duck hunting will be permitted until October 1. Warnings have been sent out by the Oregon Fish and Game Commission to the many deputies to watch for vio- ators. The gun clubs have been in structed that the Federal law will take precedence over the state law. The state laws regarding the season for ducks and geese conflict with the eeks-McLean Federal law. "Under the state law It would be pos sible in some localities of Oregon to begin shooting as early as September 1 and in places the duck season does not close until April 30. said llliam L. Finley, State Game Warden, last night. 'By this it is quite evident that I shooter could obtain seven and one half months of shooting by doing a lit tle traveling. Because the Weeks-McLean Federal law is uniform throughout .Oregon, daho and Washington, it is best to en force it. Of course this may not please 1 the hunters, but for the most part the sportsmen are willing to abide by the decision. The Federal law says no shooting can be done before October nor after January lo. "Our wardens will work In connec tion with the Federal authorities and all violators will be taken before Federal court Instead of a state court. Some of the deputy state game war dens are Federal officials, too, so It will not be difficult to enforce the measure.

Presi dent John Grier Hibbcn. of Princeton University. In his annual report pre vented to the board of trustees today, expressed the hope that paid coaches In athletics would soon disappear. Ath letics are suffering from an over-organized system of coaching, he said, and he believed that more responsibility should be placed on team captains. "If undergraduates should be re leased from unnatural domination of their sports by graduate coaches." he wild, "intercollegiate sport would be liberated from the abnormal Incubus of a superimposed system which tends to make puppets of the players.' President Hibben. in the report, said: "Our athletics, not only in Princeton, but throughout the country, arc suf fering from an over-organized system of coaching. I hope that the time may soon come when the paid coach will disappear. He and his ever-Increasing number of assistants, all of whose ex penses prove a heavy drain upon the athletic treasury, render intercollegiate sport an unduly expensive affair."

There will be no world's series be tween the Pacific Coast hockey winners and the National Hockey Association this year. The. Coast circuit has gone "outlaw." The Eastern' champions were supposed to come West in March to play for the Stanley cup, but It is all off. President Patrick, of the Vancouver club, is sore because the Easterners re fused to abide by the arbitration board's decision in the case of Tommy Smith and has abrogated the peace agreement existing between the two major hockey leagues. , So Portland Is now in the hockey "Federal" league. News Causes Stir. This news waa received by George Keller, of the Ice Hippodrome, yester day and it created great excitement. Tho agreement between tne two Dig leagues provided that in case of dis putes a board of arbitration should de cide the tangles. In the Srjith and Ronan cases the National Hockey Asso ciation named J. A. Taylor, of Montreal. as arbitrator and he awarded Konaa to the Easterners and Smith to the Coast. In the face of this Smith is now play ing with the Ontarios in flagrant vio lation of the agreement. We had no other alternative than to cancel our agreement and prepare to make war again." said President Pat rick, in announcing the extraordinary move. Easterners May Be Sorry, .While the secession of the Coast cir cuit will not affect matters seriously this SDrine. except to prevent tne world's series, next year the Eastern ers raav be Borry. A new rink is going in at beattle, ana as the salaries on the Coast are fully as high as in the East, the Seattle own. ers can simply go out and grao eigni or nine players for the new septet with out paying a cent of purchase money. That is how the Patricks got the Coast League started about three or four years ago. V w Mickie" Mackay, of the Vancouver Millionaires, has no equal as a point- getter in the Pacific Coast Hockey League. The 19-year-old whirlwind has netted the puck on 12 occasions in six contests. His nearest rival is his teammate. "Dad'' Taylor, who has scored five less than Mackay. The first Portlander in the race for the league leadership Is "Smoky" Har ris, who is tied, wtih Taylor at seven goals in six games. The 4-to-3 deleat oi ine tocais at Victoria Tuesday night came as a com plete surprise to followers of the Port land Uncle Sams. More hard-fought contest have Been lost by the Portland hockeyists than any other septet of the circuit. Vancouver Running Away. Vancouver is fast getting away to a runaway race for the championship. It now has six victories ant no oeieai charged to it, "while the local aggre gation has only two victories and four setbacks. Victoria brings up the rear, with five reverses and the one match won from Portland. Although the Portland players are somewhat crippled because of the stren uous campaign. Manager Aiuiooon pre dicts a victory for the Uncle bams over the Vancouver Millionaires at Vancou ver tonight. The Canadians have de feated the locals three straight con tests, but the last match required 11 minutes' overtime before Manager Patrick was able to call his team the winner. Official)! Hot Chosen.

He has worked the men for all they were worth and has given mem " in the category of the coaching staff, .ffnrt to Hnane inem iiku a. win- nine combination. As a result Oregon will place a well-conditioned team on the boards. Much is expected of Clayton Sharp and "Skeet" Bigbee. who are -worWns together in the forward positions. Both boys are fast and accurate at the bas ket and. if properly supported by their teammates, they probably will prove an adequate scoring machine. Dudley has "cinched" his job at center, and if tomorrow's game proves a good one for the ex-Lincoln Hign star, oi irui. he will be a fixture in the berth for the remainder of the season.
