The players were in mortal fear of being bitten, for nt every step n reptile hissed and darted away. Hut they were fortunate -.nough not to be struck by any poisonous fangs. The guide said the feaV of the players was justified, ns he himself had never seen so many moccasins in one night before. Tho Macks became acquainted with a moccasin on the way to Ornnge. The Southern Pacific train carrying them stopped nt a small station. There were swnmps all nround and on nearly every log there were turtles sun ning. Charley Hickett hurled a rock at a turtle and was surprised to stir up a big moccasin. Moccasins, vhen not cornered, retrent. The snake glided along the lily pails and shallow water in plnin sight. Everybody in the baseball party now jumped off the train and picked up rocks and threw tliem at the serpent.

Since Colonial days there have been two periods of cnormoim supply nnd two of great scarcity. One of the lnttcr which is now being experienced, began just twenty years ago. The first period of scarcity wns duo apparently almost altogether to careless and destructive methods of fishing, nnd its lowest ebb wns reached about 1880, when tho na tional government and a little later the state of Pennsylvania began tne worn of what is called artificial propagation. Tlie results were little short of mar velous. Within ten yenrs the catches annually exceeded anything known in the iirst period of plenty. The indus try of catching great food fish reached its zenith nbout 1808, but held fairly well for two or three years longer, until 1000, in fact, when there was a sharp nnd decided decline, a decline that has been continuous. Don't Llko Cold Water Tlie principal cause for the sudden decline in the beginning" of the new century nnd for n few years thereafter, was easily traceable. It is ft fact known to lishculturists that shad will not freely enter n river from tlicir un known home in the ocean until the water tempernture has reached ap proximately sixty degrees, and only n few scntter ne fish will venture wuu fresh water must be nt least sixty before the, fish will ripen their eggs and go through the function of spawning. In the year 1000, just ns the fish were about assembling at the mouth of Delaware bay there came great snow falls in the mountains of northeast Pennsylvania and In the Delaware watershed of New York sending the water temperature down below forty de grees, and the wntcr remained cold until early June. The catch was cut nearly in half that year. For several seasons fol lowing weather nnd wntcr conditions in the spring were- nearly the enrac, Few ripo f-had were found by the fish culturists nnd consequently the numtmr of nlind fry planted yearly was pltifiillv small proportionately, compared with the number of fish caught. (Hie season there were, only 120 ripe females taken, or -1.O00.000 eggs. Of these about .'1.000,000 were hatched nnd the fry planted. According to careful estimates, only about .'lO.OOO of these fry were likely to live until they reached tho sea in the autumn. P.etwcen that tlmo nnti ma- i turity a tremendous proportion, prob- j ablv more than fiO per cent, were de voured or otherwise met with fatal mishap. Consequently there would be less thnn lo.OOO mnture shnd of the original : artificial hatching to enter tho river. I Tlie total catch tlie year the eggs were ' taken was more than 00,000. Of course, there was natural propaga tion that year, but It is safe to assume thai the number did not exceed that performed by human agencies at the Torresdale hatchery. The figures given nre fairly repre sentative of every year since 1000. I'nder these circumstances there can be no alternative but extinction of the shnd unless conditions change. of spawning, nnd until they return to salt water cat little or nothing.. Con sequently, excepting under one clr cumstnncc, the fish docs not rise to an artificial fly or tnko any bolt offered by an angler.

Spawning Grounds Damaged Put there nre other conditions which malie for the same deplorable end. The spawning grounds in the Delnware below the city have been badly Injured bv the necessary deepening of the chan nel nnd the r-hoaling of the water near shore. This is one of the causes of the hurt to tlie once great fisheries at Wash ington Park, (ilniicester and below. Increased water pollution is also n big factor. Increased navigation Is prob ablv another. The shad is nn exceed ingly timid fish. It even fears shadows, mid the turmoil caused by the vast river craft Is enough In itself to keep the shad out of tlie river.

With ruttu rifle and roliino loot abhor; They break from tho clay their souls "Right Dressl" and "Frontl" With the old salute, "All present, air, or accounted for." Their tattered khaki is mired and torn IV Aero stain onco came from a crimson fount. Their packs are gone and their shoes are worn, But they're only ghosts, so it doesn't count. They are only ghosts, but an ancient glow As bright as a red dawn down the glen lias caught their eyes, as they whisper low "Orders are in and it's home tgain." Home again by Iho long, long trail Through shattered valley and Hasted track, Where they stood in front of tho leaden hail, , Moving on to the next attack. A story now that is overtold, And one, perhaps, that may weary you, But day by day as the thunder rolled The lengthening line of tho crosses grew. Then from their coverlets of grass They watched the seasons come and go. They saw the poppies bloom and pass, And bloom again m a cn'mion row, While they still dreamed of one great day Where, from their barracks built of loam, Their silent tramp would find the way That led again to the hills of home. You may not mark their eager zest, Their cheering shouts fAcir loifd AtirraA Who see their broken olay at rest Beneath the Flag's protecting stars. And yet dead soldiers havo their dreams That even leap the alien sea, Of ancient lancSj and singing streams, And summer sktes that use to be. The war is over and out of mind, And we havo forgotten you and I, Most of tho mates who stayed behind To see the poppies bloom ana ate And bloom again, in endless store, Until by mounted plain and glen A sergeant growls "Fall In" once more As lost lanes whisper "Some again!" "piJTH," nays a critic, "is worth -Cv his weight In gold to any club." In this case it must be a terrific blow to his owners to know that in the last six weeks he has worked off fifteen precious pounds.

The Two Cups A NUMBER of English sporting writers have contended that Inas much as an American prcsontcd tho Davis Cup for tennis, an Englishman or a Scot should havo been the one to present an international cup for golf. This point would have been better taken if an Englishman or a Scot bad only done so. International golf relations between the two countries have now been under way for seventeen years, dating back to the Travis triumph in 1004. Jf nt any porlod stneo a British sportsman bid offered an international cup for golf w are quito certain that tho United State, would havo accented tho challengo with ' eagerness. But seventeen years seems to Im loir cnouh to wait. And no ono thinks of tho Davis Cup being ah American tro phy. It is nn International trophy with- out a boundary. There Is still another feature attached to the Walker Cup for golf-it isn't compulsory. Thcro is no law that can mako any ono,natlon enter a team. milE eight of the eminent Mr. Bnni.
