MIT'-HEt.L To those who have followed the cam of tennis this pa.t !fon the above ranking- a nntiiiuii..l last nlclit by a most ratable committee, today will' create no great surprlies. and all conrerned. whether their names appear tn the list or not. undoubtedly will be satisfied. Without the ahtilow of a doubt Ber nard Schwengers I the ranking play er of the Northwest, the comparative urnrw ihowlnic how easily ha defeated tne em-Champion Joe Tyler, of Spo kane, and what a comparatively easy time he experienced with Brandt Wlck ersham at the Spokane tourney. It Is only unfortunate that Sch wenuers was not seen more In action more often during the season, particularly at the Oregon state tournament and at the I'ai-tfic States play, where he undoubtr edly would hare elvrn the California cracks some trouble and would have been a clever partner with Ralph Gor rlll at the lel Monte doubles. Portland. without question other than from Seattle, la entitled and Just lv to second place In the person of llrmndt Wickers ham. Wlckersham. all In all. played a strong came, but did not show the form at times during the season of which lie l capable. In at leaat two tournaments the Portland expert was "off color." but hla tourna ment showing, with results obtained, accord him second honors of the sea eon. Some mlKht question the'commltlee's decision on Kivinar third place to Jos eph Tyler, of Spokane. Tyler, as has been mentioned In these columns be fore, was far from play ins; the (came of tennis this year, lie had business to watch and matters In which Cupad l.layeJ a leading role weighed heavily on the young man's mind, which nat urally was not on the frame of tennis as a consequence. Despite all this. Ty ler won the Inland Empire champion- ship, defeating Wlckersham while the Portland man won from Ty lr In the International play. -, c-l. It was unfortunate for Tyler, one might say.'that It was due to Schwen rers to put him out of the play In two Brttleh Columbia championships, but the fact that Tyler was put uu aicainst the Northwest champion la enough to warrant placing the Spokane man near the top. That Sam Buasell mlftht be entitled to third rather than fourth place, would be the belief of the sup porters of the Seattle man. but Huascll met few hard men as opponents In any tournament In which he played this year. Wlckersham probably being his most difficult man to find." Kussell opposed KHz, his doubles partner, on two occasions, and won each time only after hard. Ions: matches. As Russells only two "hard" men this year were Tyler and Wlckersham. and the fact that be lost to, both of these, hardly would warrant giving him anything but fourth place, as the committee has done. With the name of Ralph C. Oorrlll. of Portland. In the fifth pocket, one nilcht be caused to wonder. Unfortu nately. Gorrill only was able to appear in three vital tournaments, vital to his ranking position In the North Iarlflo International Association play. True, ha appeared at Del Monte and made a rood showlna;. but In the Interna tional at Spokane he fell before the mighty Schwengers; tn the Inland he loot by default and in the Ore Ron State he was pitted against the best tennis player In the Northwest today. Nat Kmeraon, but he only lost after taking the first set of 21 games, many of which went deuce In one of the most err I Ulna matches seen on a Portland court. By scores It mlsrht appear to some enthusiasts that Uorrill deserves a bls-her position, but the committee hardly could rive It owing to his In ability to appear In more tournaments. He has the making; of one of the best players the Pacific Coast has ever seen, and undoubtedly will Rive a bet ter account of himself next year. With Fits and Cardinal!, respective ly, occupying the sixth and seventh places In toe ranking this year. It Is conceded that their play has given them positions, but not higher than they are placed. Fill's frame Is so much like Russell's, each knowing; the weaknesses and strong points of the other, yet Russell ranking a shade the better that It Is necessary to place Kits, despite, the fact that, he met no strong men outside of Schwengers and Oorrlll this year. Cardlnall. It nilght be raid, "played In hard luck." fur he met his betters in Wlckersham (twice). Joe Tyler and iichwengers. wnlch naturally meant that ha roust bow to the Inevitable and take what fie could, aa he did In two cases, taking one set from Tyler and one from Schwengers In the British Columbia championships. Cardlnall la destined to make the leaders hum next year for the places ahead of him and with the showing he made this year.

Injured Total 499, or 100 More Than In Anj Previous Play ing Season. CHICAGO. Nov. 1. (Special.) American football playera" annual con test with death la now drawing near to Ita close and the score up to date Indicates dearly that death will be victorious again this year. Just as It has been In the ten years beginning; with 101. Last year the number of players killed on the football field or dying later after a lingering Illness from Injuries received on the field totalled 10. This year the number of dead Is SO. It would seem from these figures that Inauguration of new rules had made the game one-third less danger ous than they were a year ago. but a comparison of the number of deaths In two years Is not conclusive on this point. A compilation of the number of in jured this 'year shows a total of 49. Last year the number of Injured was only Zla- The number of maimed and bruised and broken football players for the year 110 exceeds by more than 100 the Injured of any year since 19oi. From these figures It Is apparent that a revision of the rules .and the dividing of the game Into quarters In stead of Into halves, lias not had the effect of reducing dangers that 'was, sought for. On the contrary the game of football seems, under the present rules, to be dangerous to more people now than It ever has been before. The big Thanksgiving day games are yet to come and Thanksgiving day games can always be relied upon to add materially to the list of killed and badly hurt. Seattle Gets Tl;he. BLOOMINGTON. III..

HIGH Championship Title Yet Hangs In Bnlunce, Though Aberdeen Has Apparent Right to Honor. ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 19. Under a driving southwest gale, with the field a sea of mud and players and spectators drenched to the skin, Aber deen High School football team and Tacoma High School team battled to a scoreless finish at Electric Park to day for the Intcrscholastlc champion ship of Washington. As a result of the contest. Aberdeen, having already de feated Tacoma once, claims the cham pionship. Another game, to be played in Ta coma on Thanksgiving day Is now be ing discussed. For three quarters, Aberdeen out played Tacoma In. all departments of the game except in punting-- Coblentx, who played a star game for Tacoma, outdistanced Blackwell In three ex changes with spiral kicks of great dis tance. Aberdeen had a chance to score once when it. carried the ball within six Inches of the goal line, but could not make It across. Tacoma, In turn, ran 20 yards for a touchdown, but It was disallowed, the runner going out of bounds at the 6-yard line. Forward passes ended In fumbles and punts, for the most part, were poorly handled, the ball being so slippery that It could not be handled.

PARSONS GIVES OPINION Picks Flaws In "Statute 'Which.. Not Only Inoperative, but Harmful, Make Protection Under Them Entirely Impossible. BT E. A. PARSONS. Whenever and wherever two sportsmen meet these days It Is safe to assume that their conversation will principally con cern the subject of reconstruction of the game laws, a subject that Is not only up permost In their minds, but Is also re ceivlntx considerable attention from th public In general. The question of what Is to be done to save our fish and game from exter minatlon is a grave one right now. That it is a question with a wide dl verslty of opinion is proved by the fact that It Is seldom that any two men will agree upon the proper line of proce dure to accomplish the desired result. The reason of this Is that In all pro posed fish and game legislation there are so many Interests to be served, and each Interest seeks a special prlvlleg of exemption of Its own. As much as we may regret to say It, we are forced to believe that the ad ver?e factions working against a gt-n eral game and fish law have been In fluenced by a desire to secure the largest piece of the "pie." No con slderatlon Is given the possibility of extinction In the near future, and many. are the hunters who pay absolutely no attention to laws relative to limits and the like. Selfishness Is 'Blamed. Selfishness In hunting and flshin has always predominated from the early days when our forefathers blazed the trail Into the wilderness, and our own game, was at times, their only means of sustenance. Recent history tells us of the awful slaughter that followed the trail of the pioneer until our mountains and plains, which for merly fairly teemed with game, have been made practically destitute or ail semblance of feathered, furred or finny specimens. Who can but reirret the outrageou destruction of that mighty monarch of the plains, the American buffalo. An with the destruction of the buffalo w can readily foresee the total extinction soon of almost all species or wild an mals. So sadly have the ranks or many species been depleted that It Is a matter of considerable concern whether It will be possible to preserve them even now. It Is very doubtful Indeed, if the elk, for Instance, can be saved from total annihilation, for this handsome species, the monarch, of th forest. Is to be. found In very few sec tlons of the country, and In almost as four mimherfl This SDecles Is Protect ed by laws, but the penalties are a joke and hardly worthy or the name, wnicn Is almost the same with reference to every species of game. The penalties attached to the killing or certain spe cies Is not severe enough, and cannot he made too severe. Illegal slaugnter lntr of erame offers no excuse and should not be condoned by a mere fine, State's Efrorts Lauded. The State of Oregon today Is devot Ing every energy toward promoting and developing Its many diversified re sources, and, that rapid progress has been made in securing world-wide puD llclty Is shown by the records. Too much credit cannot be given our com mercial bodies as well as the promoters of the annual Rose Festival, the fruits of which speak for themselves. How ever, all true sportsmen believe that not enough attention Is given to game protection. One of the Items coming under Oregon Industries and which is the second largest asset in tne state, comes within the pale of game and fish protection salmon fishing. The lumber industry, of course, is Oregon's first commercial output. No state in the Union has the nat ural conditions for the propagation and preservation of game, fish and animals as has Oregon. The one thing most needed In this line Is the concentration of effort on the part of all citizens of the Btate on that which will be most beneficial to the game. pass up all Individual Interest. There is no question but that most of our laws In force are good. Most any law Is good, but the fault lies In the enforce ment of It. Relative to game laws, these can only be made forcible by either the education of all to respect them, or to provide for more severe penalties than those now attached to violations. In the matter or euuea tlon the newspapers can be of valuable assistance. Too much publicity cannot be given the frightful Inroads being made on the game ana risn or tne state. One of the worst conditions that ex ists Is the needless fight being waged between the farmer and the city sports man. Each side believes ne is ngnt and" the other fellow wrong, and neither Is willing to give way for the good of all. The farmer is blamed for kill ing the birds before the open season, and this to a large extent Is true, and yet fair-minded men believe the city hunters (notice I say hunters) are re sponsible. These city hunters have vis ited the country repeatedly and violated the laws most flagrantly and repeated ly and In that way have set the ex ample. A farmer cannot be expected to respect a law which is defied openly by a city "feller." Hunters Spoil Farmers. In days gone by how many respected the laws on limits? Some did. but these were so few that no good was accomp lished by their strict observance, for they received no credit for- it. It Is hardly proper to expect a farmer to heed laws when the same are violated flagrantly right under his nose by the hunters from the larger and more settled communities. Then there Is another general cause for animosity between the ruralfst and the pleblan. This relates to the continued violation of the trespass law. Few, Indeed, are the hunters who have not violated this law, and one cannot blame a farmer consistently for ob jecting to a man using his land upon which to do his hunting. Were you In the farmer's place and heard the bang of the rifle and shotgun, and knowing that your livestock was at large on your own territory, what would you do In the circumstances? Tlie , farmer is not always able to identify the trespassers, and does not know whether the shooting is done by men who are capable of using Judg ment, a mighty scarce asset among the average hunters who trespass. And when you, supposing you are the farmer, hasten down youn field and order the irresponsible persons off your land and were informed, jauntily, to "go Jump in the river.", how would you feel toward a hunter? What is the result? Mr. Farmer is glad to have the birds shot off before the season opens, and very promptly encourages his own sons, or his neighbors, to do the shooting before the hated "city chap" can got his hand In the game. Invasion. Not Right. Along these lines it might be well to remember that a hunter has no more right to Invade the ranch of a farmer to do his shooting than he has to go behind the cashier's desk of a bank and help himself to all the money in sight. The farmer owns the land and he wants his ownership recognized. The average farmer would like to see the trespass act include a jail sentence In stead of the nominal fine now attached. He would force every hunter to have written permission, signed by tha farmer owning or leasing the property, before he would be immune from arrest on a charge of trespassing. The aver age farmer, if treated with courtesy, will not refuse permission to hunt on his grounds unless he has a good rea son for not wanting shooting in his vicinity. It would be a good thing if the trespass law was so amended as to require a hunter to have a "farmer's permission" in his possession the same as the law requires him to produce his hunting license. Another amendment that will be ad vocated by the sportsmen desiring rigid reform is one that will permit the State Game Warden tn enter into writ ten agreement with the landowner to set aside portions of land as a game preserve for a limited number of years. Anywhere from two, three, five or ten years, according to tire length of time the owner will agree, would suffice. Stringent Agreement AVanted- Thls amendment should be made binding. Just the same as a lease or other legal transfer. During the life of the contract not even the owner of the land should be permitted to shoot upon It, and a Jail -penalty should be entailed. Many ranchers who do not hunt and do not want others to do so will gladly take advantage of this. It will afford them an opportunity of saying "no" to their most intimate friends, who may importune them for the privilege of hunting over a choice section. Such scattered preserves will pro vide a place of refuge,' which will soon become known to the birds, and when they realize they will be safe they will remain and breed steadily enough to tock the surrounding country, and in 'this manner act as a base of sup plies. On these preserves new birds can be liberated, for there Is no ques tion but that we need new blood In the supply of upland birds. .In any poultry yard there has to be a con stant Infusion of new stock, and this i true with our Chinese pheasants. It Is safe to say that hardly half of the eggs hatch out, and only a few of the birds live to mature age. For 20 years the Oregon stock of pheasants has been constantfy inbreeding, and this should be corrected by the infu sion of new blood, introduced system atically In different parts of the Wil lamette Valley, where the birds thrive best. Duck Law Lacking. Now a little word about the duck law. At present the law reads that It should be illegal to kill more than 35 birds in one day. but the fritsiers of the statute forgot to add the words "have In possession." A hunter, under the present conditions, can kill' all the birds he desires, and say he is taking In the "bag of his friend." If the words "or have in possBSslon" are added to this statute this will eliminate the slaughter of many ducks killed wan tonly. As to tha trout laws, I would sugr gest that the- State Game Warden be authorized to arrange with the Master Fish Warden for the propagation of trout. ln salmon hatcheries. As the salmon hatcheries are Idle several months in the year, this should not be hard to arrange. These hatch eries are Idle a good deal of the time when trout are spawning, and the two departments could handle the propaga tion of trout without the expense of building new hatcheries. The Master Fish Warden can keep an account of the actual expenses of propagating the trout, and this expense can be met out of the anglers' license fund. It should also be provided for the State Game Warden to have charge of the dis tribution of young trout. A law should also provide closing of trout streams so stocked by the warden during such a period as would be required for the fish to mature. It Is a waste of time ' and money to Yestock a stream and al- . low the flngerllngs to be taken. The, law provides that trout under the legal i length be returned to the stream from I which taken, but this Is not always ' done, and even when the law is com- I plied with the fish usuallydie. I With a system of closing the streams I during such periods, the streams can be restocked systematically and the fish protected much more effectively than under the present system. Cougar Main Foe of Deer. Now we come to the protection of deer. The cougar is the worst enemy of the deer known, and destroys more deer annually than all the hunters combined. With the extermination of the cougar the deer can be expected to thrive much more advantageously than at present. The natural advan tages enjoyed by deer In Oregon are enough to guarantee their increasing in numbers once the carnivorous en emy is eliminated. I therefore think V lhmubic,n t mm wA Irli Maulrinhuwigdpuicct III F Ml US WW ill i-ltf $w and m LOOK FOR OUR -A STODDARD SENSATION that a recommendation should be made to the' next Legislature increasing the bounty on cougar skins and also elim inating the clause providing for the cutting off of the front paws to de posit as security with the County Clerk pajing tlie bounty. tj,ome other means of marking the hide to prevent its being turned In twice can be evolved. To cut off both front paws spoils the skin for tanning or mounting pur purposes. A good cougar hide suit able for mounting or for a rug r ner ally brings In the neighborhood of 110. With the paws cut off to get the boun ty the hunter loses the chance for the sale of his specimen which virtually lessens the reward. Amending of this law relative to the paws and increas ing the bounty will help In the preser vation of deer to a bigger extent than any other method. As to the inroads made in the deer by hunters, the greaeeit complaint has been over hunting these animals with dogs. This was quite common last season, but it is extremely, hard to secure evidence necesttary to convict. The hunter, when caught with his hounds, simply pleads that he is out hunting wild cats and other "varmints." To cover this excuse there should be a law providing a jail sentence for anyone convicted of hunting deer with dog or dogei or allowing the dogs to run loose In the woods or moun tains where deer frequent during the open season on deer. It might also be. effective in putting a stop to this practice to vest the gauie warden and hla deputies with authority to shoot any and all dogs found in the deer country In the open season. This would likely be the most effective meth od of stopping the Inroads made on deer in this manner. Then the hunters own ing dogs would be mighty careful to keep them penned up in that period of the hunting season. Several prominent sportftmen to whom I have submitted these views on game laws and needed reforms have tfpproved them In every respect. It Is quite likely that enough pressure can be brought to bear by offlcenp and members of the Ore gon Fish & Game Protective Association to secure the passage of some If not all of the-e suggested amendments. The game laws of Oregon must be changed to Include more severe penalties, and to have a wider scope of protection, or it will not be many years before there will be no game at all in the state.
