Jimmy whipped and uuter- ed Petrolle so decisively, In ten rounds, that It became quite monot' QBous before the formality of raising the glove bythe referee, ,.... Second Straight Thls was IfcLarnln's second straight triumph over Petrolle. It was by far the more decisive of the two and al together wiped out the stigma at tached to the KcLarnln escutcheon by the slugging Jimmy absorbed one night at Madison Square Gardens last winter. ' Before-receiving the unanimous de cision, MoL-rnln did everything but put Billy on the floor. Petrolle man aged this himself, on one occasion in the fifth round hen he fell flat from the force of a wild swing that completely missed Its target. McLarnln loo Strong ' KcLarnln was too strong, fast and clever for Petrolle. Jimmy had a 7 pound pull in the weights, scaling 1M to Billy' 188, and used it to good advantage. : tFetroUe'a best rounds were the third and fifth. He held .McLarnln van on point In these two, landing effectively to the head and body. He cut- Jimmy Hp In the fifth. Mo Larnln carried the remaining eight round by good Bleed margins.

A thorough etudy of where game birds go and by what enemy they are killed proves interesting to moat of us. A conservative survey made ny game protective organizations " over the nation naa reveaiea tiiav only about eight per cent of tne game birds killed each year are shot by hunters I This in itseii proves alarming and starts one wondering Just where they do dis appear. - Here tne answer as s "" by the survey: Mloat pheasants ana other of the birds are killed by mowing machines, cnakea, cats, hawks and enemies of this kind. And of courss It Is difficult to avoid most of them. Mowing ma chines. 16 Is found, run over the nests and mash the eggs or Injure and kill the young birds. The fanners make every effort to avoid this-, even to mowing around next when they have been, discovered. i But nest are oarefully hidden and are seldom seen until the damage has been done. Stray cats, nowevw, done away with to a great extent. The cat which are abandoned along country road and must hunt tor themselves are the ones that kin most game birds. And while on the subject ox caw, law has been passed In Penn sylvania which requires an cat to wear bells. Btraye are anus j state officers. Killing 01 oiras greatly reduced, it Is found, al though tha bells In no way Inter fere with the cat as mousers. i nv an extreme example, Hawks, snakes, squirrels all reea on young pheasants and quail and are not adverse to esting a grown bird providing they can catch one. So it seems that the game asso- ctatlons are stocking the fields with birds and attempting to Increase came while natural and unnatural causes tend to keep the bird pop ulation at a set figure. If Mr. Malthue had a tneory on game bird population. It was pron ably about right. German Mermaid A Record Claimed LBIPZIO, Oermany, Aug. 31.

Ay Al A N fiOULD ASSOCIATED PRESS S.'ORTS EEHTgf. When bigger and better home-runs were desired, for box-office purposes, the Yankees bought Babe Ruth and set him up In comfortable circum stances. When matters became so onc-slded that It was necessary to develop com petitive Interest, Colonel Ruppert's able manager, Miner Huggins, en couraged the long-distance slugging talent of Columbia Lou Gehrig. Now that the squeeze play and the stolen base have 'been restored to popularity, the Yankees fulfilled their public trust by turning loose the lnost accomplished base-runner of the season William Benjamin Chapman. Chapman was close to the 40-mark In base thefts by the latter part of JUiy.

Something should be done about this evidence of depression. "Cousins" The St. Louis Cardinals, if they win their fourth pennant In six years, can adopt votes of thanks for two circumstances first, the enthusiasm with which their three leading rivals have been hacking themselves to pieces; second, the vulnerability of the Cincinnati Reds. . The Red Birds won 18 of their first 17 games with Cincinnati. If there Is a flaw in the schedule it Is the fact that they have only five more games with Dan Howley's men, all In September and concluding with a three-gome series at Cincinnati Sep tember 35-28-37, he end of the season.
