TACOMA, Wash., April 20. (Special.)
At least 150 boxers, professional and
amateur, will take part in the elimina
tion contests to be held at Camp Lewis
on May 20, 21, 23 and 24. That is the
announcement that has been made by
Willie Ritchie, boxing instructor, who
is working out the plans with Captain
T. G. Cook, athletic director of tho
Ninety-first Division.
The show will be held In the open
air on the cantonment athletic field
in front of the stands that have a seat
ing capacity of 20,000 persons. The
boxers will 6e divided into A and B
classes. The A division will include .
all men who have at any time been in
the professional ring and B division
will include strictly amateur boxers.
These major divisions will be divided
into eight classes. The weights will
be lis pounds, 12a pounds, 135 pounds,
145 pounds, 155 pounds, 165 pounds, 175
pounds and ail above that poundage
will be placed in the heavyweight di
vision. Each man who comes through in each
division will be presented with s.
trophy. Some of the fastest boys on
the Coast are now in the ranks at
Camp Lewis, . so Ritchie expects the
show to be aB class.
Every man in the 91st division is
taking daily boxing lessons. It does
not permit much personal instruction,
but it is held in cadence or by count,
whole companies participating: It ks
an expansion of shadow bc-xinar.

SNT It about time that a movement
, was startedi to give adequate pro
tection to the black bear?
The following states permit it to be
killed 365 days in the year: Alabama,
Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Idaho, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico,
New York, Oregon, Utah and Vermont.
Other states that have long open sea
sons include Washington, 242 days;
Minnesota, 138 days; Mississippi and
California. 120 -days: Louisiana, 92 days.
Pennsylvania, with 62 days; Arkan
sas, with 61 days, and Wisconsin, with
21 days, seem to be the only states that
think the black bear Is worth preserv
ing. Bears have been added to the pro
tected list tn California, Minnesota,
Montana. Washington and Wisconsin.
The bounty on bears has been re
pealed in Vermont, but a bounty of S5
has been placed on them in Maine.

In all this land there are still two
states, Louisiana, and North Carolina,
which permit the hunting of game for
market.
In all this land there is no state
which has enough game left to feed It
to epicures who are too lazy to go out
and get it themselves.
In all this land there is no real
sportsman who would allow market
hunting in his native state without a
protest.
How about It, wortn Carolina ana-
Louisiana?
Have you a sportsman who win rise
to the occasion?
Or have you merely gunners, who
dwell in darkness who don't know and
don't care?
There is a new temper in these times.
American sportsmanship demands a yes,
or no and action:
