A request that the bag limit on Chi nese pheasants be held down to what It was last year and that there be no open season on qua.'l in Umatilla county this vear are. formulated In petitions to the state game warden ' nnH Ihu utala - PamA Nimmiduliin which was drawn up Inst night by the members of the game committee -of the Pendleton Rod and Gun club. The petitions will be circulated In every community In the county in an effort to secure as many signatures as pos sibla before they are sent to the war den and commission. At a recent meeting of the game commission the open seasons were made uniform over the state. When the season on Chinese pheasants was lengthened Jrom eight days, which It was last year, to 17 days, the bag i limit was automatically increased from 15 to 30 birds. Due to the hard winter In .1921-1 S22. local snortsmen declare that such a limit will result In i such a slaughter of pheasants that two or three years of closed seasons ; will be necessary to prevent their ex termination. Quail are , also very scarce, and the sportsmen want their numbers conserved until they become more plentiful. 32,279 EX-SERVICE A total ur 3Z,.! ex-service men in j the state of Oregon have made appli-1 cation for either the rash Ikiiiiis or u j loan under the recently enacted law j which provides these benefits for thos-; who served Uncle Sam In the lute h'. . aceordine to figures released' this j morning by Lyman G.

MICHIGAN- CITY, Ind., Aug. 4. There Is growing uneasiness In the minds of thousands of friends that Benny Leonard has nnido In this vi cinity, that the champion Is In for a desperate time of It Saturday after noon when he steps jmt, title In hand, against Ever Hammer of Chicago. These friends do not think Leonard is inferior as a fighter In any way or that he has lost ground recently, but the fact that ho has a badly cut right eye Is the cause, As a matter of fact, It Is developing that the whole argument of the battle Is around this Injury. ' Most of the fans admit that Hammer Is a won derfully tough and willing lad and that his rushing style of milling and his Incessant hitting makes him one of the. hardest men of the .day to put under. .- - ' For theso reasons, Leonard must be In the best of shape to meet him, and while he Is undoubtedly In his usual excellent shape otherwise, the Injured eye puts the champion In a handicap ped condition that may cause him a lot of trouble. .' . ' Leonard himself admits all of Ever's toushncsB and general ability not only to give but to take as well. Benny knows that Hammer slings nasty lefthanders and In such a manner thai it is hard to gauge. Of course, that bad lamp is to be the main target of Hammer's left and If It connects and reopens the Tetidler wounds, there may be a very Interesting story, to write of the subsequent proceedings.
