Wright's weakness was overhead, and
thereafter he lobbed the former cnam

the other hsmd Alexander is very strong
overhead. Richards never gave him a
chance to kill a single lob.
His partner. Tilden. the National

DUCK FEEDING QCESTIOX VP
Federal Ruling Causes Dissatisfac
tion Among Hunters.
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

Jack Kennedy Is Winner After Long
Struggle for First Fall; Plenty
or Willing Talent Grouped
Around Matslde.
CAn LEWIS. Tacoma. "Wash.. 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.

the members showing increased enthu
siasm, everything augurs well for a
large entry list in all touraments to be
held at Raleigh.'
Among the big events to be listed will
be the President's cup, club champion
ship, interclub tourney for the John G.
Clemson trophy and a match with the
Lugene Country Club.
The directors are more than pleased
with the interest being manifested by
the new members. Weather permitting,
the recent additions to the club's roster
have been out playing regularly and
Harry Pratt, club professional, has been
working overtime teaching the new
members the rudiments of the game.
The new building for the profes
sional's headquarters as well as the
room for storage of the members' clubs
is nearing completion, and Harry Pratt
is expected to be installed in his new
quarters next week.
This change will enable the club to
enlarge the locker and dressing-rooms.
The present locker-rooms have been
crowded, owing to the large list of new
members, and when the house commit
tee has completed its contemplated
changes everybody will be "comfy."
Four or five members of the club are
staying in the club dormitory during
the Summer. The big room on the
upper floor makes comfortable quar
ters for those desirous of being on the
Job at all times.
George Turnbull, former Waverley
