Early in the match he learned that Wright's weakness was overhead, and thereafter he lobbed the former cnam plon into the back court away from the net. where he Was dangerous. On the other hsmd Alexander is very strong overhead. Richards never gave him a chance to kill a single lob. His partner. Tilden. the National clay court champion, played a smash ing game. His service and returns were extremely severe, and for the greater part of the match he kept his shots under control.

With the approach of the duck shooting season the much-mooted ques tion of duck feeding bobs up again. Since the Hoover administration clamped the lid on those who fed dam aged wheat to waterfowl there has always been dissatisfaction in their ranks and arguments for and against the proposition of feeding ducks Is prevalent around places where hunters congregate. One shooter who purchased some damaged wheat from a dealer on the East Side which had been salvaged from a building destroyed by fire was relating his experiences with damaged wheat being fed to hogs Instead of ducks and chickens. "I purchased some of the wheat that was salvaged for feeding hogs." said the nimrod. "and it so happened that the wheat sent me had been laying under a glass skylight during the fire and ground glass was thickly mixed In the wheat. I fed it to my hogs and before I had time to realize what was wrong two of the swine died. I took the matter up with the people from whom I purchased the wheat and they rebated me for the wheat returned. That wheat would have been all right (or ducks, but not for hogs. Three gentlemen who do considerable hooting in this section visited Carl Shoemaker last week and declared that since Food Administrator Ayer had placed a ban on feeding wild ducks in Oregon the waterfowl have Invaded the rice fields of California and did heavy damage to the rice crops, and that in order to prevent this Oregon shooters should be allowed to feed ducks in this State and keep the ducks here. Wishing to hear the version of the California State Fish and Game Com mission on the subject Shoemaker re cently wired that body as follows: Ftah and Game Commission. California. Faeraeento. cal.: l understand that migra tory bird caused eonsiderabi damage to crops In California during the past year and that rancn owner were compelled to em ploy men to keep the birds oat of their C.elda This Das been attributed to failure en part of Oregon shooter to feed their dock ukM, which caused the birds to move California Instead of nesting here. Art these the facts la the case ? W Ire reply. CARL D. SHOEMAKER. State Game Warden. Mr. Shoemaker received this answer to his telegram from the California commission: Sacramento. Cel. Carl D. Shoemaker. State Game warden. Portland. Or.: Migra tory bird cause som damage but much ex ggerated. Hlce grower employ herder to keep hunters out or rice Held, as they do more damage than ducks, etc All rnijrra tory birds will seek th best feed whether In Oregon or California.

Aug. 7. (Special.) Efforts are being made to revive the . wrestling game In the Pacific Northwest and Tacoma has been picked on as the most fertile field. The boys are starting early, for the first match of the 1918 Fall and winter sea son was held last Monday night in Ta coma. It was a semi-public affair between Jack Kennedy, of Tacoma. and Sailor Rose, of Bremerton Navy-yard. Ken nedy, returning the winner by virtue of fall secured In one hour and 32 min- tes. It was so late when the first fall was completed that it was decided to end the match then and there. The crowd wanted to catch the last cars home, so hostilities ceased for the time being. At the ringside Monday night were "more fast matmen than have been gathered together In one gob for some time," as one fan put It. Young Gotch, of Chicago; Charley Olson, of Olympia; Frank Riley, of the wrestling depart ment of the Tacoma Toung Men's Chris tian Association; Big Bill Dlllman. the Tacoma longshoreman, who also claims Elma. Wash., as his home, and several others. Pablie Chary of Game. Kennedy and Chris Gesek'have been trying for a long time to make wres tling a sporting game In the North west, but the fans haven't taken to It strongly. Perhaps It may be because of the "stench" that often accompanied many of the matches held In past years In the Northwest. Portland staged the climax several years ago and despite the efforts of some of the promoters of the mat game has been unable to re ceive the attention it did when it was "legitimate." If westlers were battling for the glory of winning, a different aspect could be put on the situation, but when there is a financial end to take Into consideration, a different angle appears. When two soldiers or two sailors ot Uncle Sam's services are staging a match It is 1000 chances to none that the best man wins. It couldn't be otherwise, for If there is anything a soldier, sailor or a marine hates it Is a "quitter" or a four-flusher, and just one false move on the part of a service contestant and he is through! Keaaedy Aaaouweea Ambition Kennedy made announcement that he was going to clean up the best men In this section of the country 'and then tangle with that clever world's cham pion, Walter Miller. Miner is wen known in Portland and has a host of friends and admirers all along the "a cine Coast. He appeared in a couple of matches In Portland, but It takes a chamnlon to be a drawing card. The Boilermakers- union in lacoma Is boosting the game and so far has hn successful in staging some real classy battles within Its hall. Olson challenged the winner of the Kennedy- RnM affair and stated that ne would meet him In Olympia or Tacoma at 158 pounds. Hoquiam, Wash., has been the scene of wrestling the last few months.

Walter Porsch, who has scrapped m nearly all the Northwest cities, has been sent to Corvallis. Or., to take me chanical training at the Oregon Agri cultural College. Porsch Is not a scien tific boxer, but he has everything else. including a willingness to bore in. While the other athletes are on theit way.
