Generally speaking the trout season is on, the various states ‘have different opening dates, varying from April 1 to May 1. The: brook trout, the beauty of all the trout with his beautiful olive colored back marked somewhat like a turtle. this marking extepding up \into the dorsal fin, his side shaded to a pink and his belly white, the pectoral, ventral and an- al fins a beautiful pink tipped with white. His sides are spotted with red surround- with light blue and covered - with scales so small they can scarcely be seen. The brook trout is one of the gamest lit- tle rascals that swims. e seldom leaves: the water as other trout do when being piayed. This: little prince of the stream is fast disappearing. due to ad- vancing civilization. In many of. our boyhood trout streams and brooks he is totally extinct. This has been brought disappearance of the for- for the forests disappear the tiny Hro0ks vanish. In the larger waters industries have robbed the streams of their original pureness by pollution. Federal and state commissions are doing much to maintain a supply of trout in the larger streams It is hoped that some day pollution problems will be solved and the streams kept clean and pure. This must be done in the east to save out most beautiful game fish. In the west where this little battler has been introduced .to the pure mountain streams he has been given a new lease of life. The time may come.when outside of a few game and fish preserves of clubs in the east it will be only in the western states that brook#trout may be found: It is disheértening to think of the passing of the brook trout. It is also disheartening to know that your angling record of last vear was worse than the year before and this year it may be worse. As we fare forth this spring let us be 4 conservationist each and every one, and also be human. When you have netted vour quarry your first duty is kill the fish by striking him on the head with your landing net handle or the back of your knife. A true sports- man and angler will not allow his fish to die a lingering death. Remember thati a fish suffocates out of water. If he is a “little feller,” dom’t look to | est CONTINENTAL MOTORS F. O.

Small bore rifle shooting is shooting outdoor at 50, 100, and 200 yards with full sized .22 caliber rifies. The rifles are in general a combination of mili- tary rifie and fine target rifle, and fully meet’ the requirements of the most expert riflemen. The ammunition used is the .22 caliber long rifie cartridge which is exceedingly accurate at the ranges indicated. . Firing - is done at tarpete of the proper size for the va- rious ranges, -and also at practical targets simulating at short range " those targets which the sportsman and soldier finds in actual field conditions. The system has much to tommend it. It is inexpensive, an afternoon's sport costing- from fifty cenis {o. one dollar. It does not require elaborate range equip- | ment as several enthusiasty can build a | rifle range on a couple of afternoon from | scrap material at pracitcally no cost. | 1t does not require the range to be lo- cated in sparsely settled, inaccessible locality. Ranges can be located in the outskirts of a city, or even a protected range within the city la ‘entirely prac- ticable. Thus the ranges are available for shooting in the late summer after- noons after hpsiness. Telescopes = are used for spotting the shots, and markers in the butts are unnecessary. At 100 yards and 200 yards the same allow- ances for wind are necessary as are | required when shooting the large high | velocity rifles at 500 and 1,000 yards.| There is no recoil to the .22 calibre | rifle, and very light repott. | Small bore shooting requires just | as much skill and careful attention as | shooting the larger target and military | rifles. It is an excellent for sporting or military target shooting, and for game shooting with the hunting rifle. From a military ' standpoint it has been 'proved many times that it is possible to basic- ally train men in small bore shooting so that they will excell at military shoot- ing at the very first attempt with the larger rifle. However, small bore shoot- ing will appeal to the average American more as sport than as a military exer- cise. GEORGES DON'T LIKE KID WCOY POSING AS HIM To say that” Gedrges Carpentier and Francois Descamps are irritated with Kid McCoy is ‘putting it mildly. McCoy now is on the Pacific coast bravely fac- ing the camera as a movie actor, and it is on’record that he never has side- stepped. the machine nor turned his eyes from the operator. As a result of his film activities in the west, there now is being shown in New York city and:all over the country a picture in which Mc- Coy as listed as “Carpentier, the French champion.” © This might not be unfor- giveable, but McCoy, posing as. Car- pentier, is knocked out in the third round every time the film is shown. The victor in the bout is labeled the “American champion” and he bears some resemblance to Dempsey, which Is an added aggravation to the Frenchman. Carpentier and -his: manager now .are planning to have the name of the knockout victim changed. and it-is said the Frenchman will challenge McCoy and his corkscrew punch to combat un- less the film is altered. ONLY ONE OF WILDE'S OPPONENTS RATED AMONG TOPNOTCHERS A remarkable feature of Wilde's suc- cess in gathering American dollars is that only one of his opponets was rated among the topnotchers. He dack Sharkey and Sharkey -beat him.” What is more, the defeat came in his first ap- pearance in this country and naturally it cut down his drawing power consid erably. If- Wilde had managed-to score a knockout over Sharkey he probab) would be in Carpentier's class as a draw- ing card by this time. Little Wilde was greatly chagrined be- cause of his defeat by Sharkey and at j touted to run first he decided to hurry back to Eng- land. It was said at one time that Wilde had contracted to write a series of stories for English papers about his visit to America and that he intended to roast everything and everybody com- nected with boxing in this country. Despité his defeat Wilde continued te draw well. He soon got over his pique and denied that he intended to roast anybody. He' also postponed his re- turn to England because offers for his services, " all containing large guaran- tees. were “rolling in. Wilde learned one lesson when he met Sharkey. He found out that he could not afford to concede Wweight to the best of our bantams. Thereafter he barred all the top notchers, giving as an ex- cuse the plea that he could obtain more money in_ England for matches ~with Sharkey, Pete Herman. Pat -Moore and others of that type than he can get in America. SPCRTING NOTES. With each successive season pinch hit- ting seems to beome more- essential in the winning of ball games. A team with a hitter who- can deliver In a pinch is surely a ducky outfit. Evidently the Giunts’ hurling squad got away on the wrong foot. McGraw is banking on his pitchers and their fail- ure to come through will be a sore dis- appoiutment to the veteran manager. There” iS no denying that the early games of the Yankees were disappointing to fhe New York fans. Sfill the sea- son is young and once the Yanks' bevy of talent catches the step there may be something doing in the old national pas- time in Gotham. There have been many surprises for the ball fans so far this season, but none has been more, notable than that furnished by the hustling Phillies under Gavy Cravath. - - The Phils had been backwards from the fln( tap of the gong. By a new invention, it is possible to speak a message into a telephone re- iver and have it recorded on a phoneo- graph record at the other end of the line RICHTER & CO.
