It Is by all odds the most effective and Important flsh protective legislation ever adopted the State and In the Judgment of the Fisheries Depart ment and the organized sportsmen of the state its enactment Is abso lutely essential If fishing conditions in the inland waters are to be ma terially Improved.

The use of nets, seines, rpears, gigs or outlines or .lines bearing > more than three hooks is forbidden in all the inland waters, excepting that a small dipnet or minnow seine net over four feet in diameter may be used for the taking of bait fish only. A min now trap with an opening not over one inch in diameter is also per mitted for taking bait fir,h. The use of seines and dipnets is permitted in the Susquehanna river below McCall's Ferry dam under license for the taking of shad, her ring and alewife, suckers, catfish, eels and carp only from March 1 to June 20. The Fish Commissioner is given power to grant permission to vise seines and nets in taking fish for scienticfic purposes, for stocking or propagation purposes or for removal of injurious fish life. The provisions of the old laws gov erning dams or flsh ways are re enacted and the pollution section forbids the use of explosives or elec tricity JO r poison in taking flsh and provides that "no person shall allow any substance of any kind or char acter deleterious, destructive or poi sonous to fish to be turned into or allowed to run, flow or wash or be emptied into any waters within this commonwealth unless it be shown to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Fisheries or the proper court that every reasonable and practicable means has been used to abate and prevent the pollution of the waters in question by the escape of dele terious substances, p The purchase, sale or exposure for sale of any species of trout, except lake trout, or of any large-mouth or small-mouth bass is forbidden, unless artificially propagated and sold under state license. The Commissioner of Fisheries is empowered to furnish flsh for free distribution or planting to the public waters of the commonwealth within the state forest reserves, to the pub lic school authorities and institutions of learning for educational or scien tific purposes, to proper persons for fish cultural, for aquariums or show ponds, or waters the bed and banks of which are subjects of private own ership where the public is permitted to flsh. Any natural stream or lake which is stocked with flsh furnished by the State is opened to the public for the purpose of lawful fishing. The commissioner is authorized to set aside such lakes or streams as he may judge suitable as nursery streams after giving public notice and to close such streams and post them against all fishing all the time. Any person who receives flsh from the state and plants them in waters where the public is forbidden to fish is liable to a fine. Authority is given for the appoint ment of sixty-five fish wardens and as many deputies as may be deemed advisable. The code repeals and replaces practically all the old acts governing fishing in the inland waters except ing the prohibiting fishing by aliens and the pollution act of 1876. U. OF P.

"The Snarl," in which she is starring, is a story of twin sisters, identical in appearance, but widely different in character. Miss Barriscale plays the dual role, and while it is a device not new to motion picture patrons, it is so well done in this photoplay that it is almost un canny. The story tells how the one sister wins fame and fortune through lying and deceit. "Teddy at the Throt tle," without the shadow of a doubt one of the best Keystone comedies ever produced, will be seen on the same program.

Tener's on Monday and McGraw's crawl yesterday, ended only for a time troubles that have been brewing In the National Lea gue. While President Tener has said 1 he is not a candidate for re-election next December, those close to the former governor are of the belief that he will be re-elected. It is also 1 the belief here that should President Tener remain, Manager John Mc- Graw will have to get out. Those who recall the tUne when National League officials visited Harrisburg 'and worked hard for several hours before they pursuad ed John K. Tener, then governor, to accept the league leadership, .still believe he is the only man for the ' position. To-day's Philadelphia public Ledger says: Pittsburgh Incident "The newspaper story emanating from Pittsburgh at a time when the New York Giants were playing in the Smoky City to the effect that President Tener would not be a candidate for re-election when the' National League meets on the sec ond week in December of this year should have no special significance regarding the former governor's in tentions now or at the time his term as executive of the National League : expires. President Tener has re fused to discuss the interview alleg ed to have been given out by a high Pittsburgh city official. "What is significant about Its get ting in the public print is that It should appear the last day the Giants played in Pittsburgh and af ter McGraw had vented a vindictive tirade against the league president. It has been more than broadly hlnt ed that some one connected flth the New York club was responsible for the dissemination of the story. Pres ident (Tener has admitted that he will not be a candidate for re-elec tion. This statement, however, means nothing. Not a Candidate "He was not a candidate for the j position when first elected. This he made clear to the delegation of Na tional League presidents that called I on him in executive chambers while still governor of Pennsylvania to press upon him that he accept the position If elected. He impressed DRAFTED MEN TO PASS HARD TEST New U. S. Army to Be Made Up of Nation's Finest Manhood Washington, June 20.—America's armies will be made up of the finest physical manhood of the nation. Army surgeons are estimating that nearly 40 per cent, of the men brought to the colors by selective draft will be rejected on the first physical scrutiny, so severe are the examinations. Nearly 1,000,000 must be drawn to get the 625,000 for the first levy. At present the rejections in the regular army ave rage 40 to 60 per cent, of the appli cants. After undergoing the severe ex aminations imposed by the army surgeons the chosen ones will form the best army physically in the world. In no other army are the physical requirements so hard to meet. Even Germany's vaunted armies are picked on a less stringent scale of requirements. The Requirements Here are the general requirements for the army: Height, not less than five feet four inches, nor more than six feet. Weight not less than 128 pounds or more than 190. Lungs and heart must be well nigh perfect. Any heart "murmur" disqualifies. Hearing and sight must be good. Color blindness is not necessarily a disqualification. Chronic disease or mental disor ders cause rejection. . Loss of fingers, toes or an ear are disqualifications. Flat feet or deformed feet are also causes for rejection. The surgeons examine closely for any affections of the kidneys or chest. At least four molar teeth are necessary. The thorough examination usually consumes more than an hour.

By many of his friends It Is asserted that this is exactly his attitude regarding re-election. "He will not seek the office, but if the league sees fit to give him an other term it is entirely reason able to expect that he would accept. It can be safely said that thero is no other candidate in the -minds of the National League magnates at present, and if an election were held this week he would receive the unanimous vote of the organization, New York included. While Mr. Hempstead is doing all he can to protect McGraw in the present pro ceedings, it is known that Tener has no stronger advocate than the pres ident of the New York club. "Whatever one thinks of the man agerial ability of 'Muggsy' McGraw, it cannot be denied that he is one of the striking figures of baseball." McGraw's Statement At a special meeting of the board of directors of the National League, held in New York a statement of denial of having said anything dero gatory to the league. Its president, John K. Tener, or any of Its club members, was submitted by Man ager McGraw, of the New York Na tional League club, and accepted by the directors. After the meeting President Tener refused to make any comment further than to say that the "Incident was closed." Following is the statement made by Manager McGraw: "To the Board of Directors of the National League: "Gentlemen: I have read this day for the first time certain scurrilous newspaper articles under the date of June 14, purporting to represent in terviews between myself and report ers, criticising the National League, some of Its clubs, and its president, John K. Tener. "After having read the same care fully I desire to state that I did not make these statements or give out by Intimation any utterance that might be construed to in any way reflect upon the ability, honesty and integrity of the president of the league or any of its club members or officials, nor upon the league nor the game itself." we've got the most and the best young men." ' Politicians Angry Politicians realized to-day they had suffered a racking body jolt. And from certain quarters in Con gress a lusty howl Is going up. For the first time many Congress mem bers learned that many of the ex emption boards which will single out the men for America's new na tional armies are virtually formed and ready for announcement. Dozens of Congressmen who have been tirelessly busy in suggesting "their men" for places on these boards, upon learning that the boards were picked without the slightest attention having been paid to their suggestions, are besieging the War Department, demanding to know how it happened. As a matter of fact, it was done with extreme premeditation. In forming the local exemption boards the War Department utilized regis tration boards, giving state gover nors opportunity to suggest changes when any members were obviously unsatisfactory or inclined too much toward politics. This headed off po litical troubles, since the registration boards were organized without po litical consideration. AMUSEMENTS REGENT THEATER' TO-DAY ONLY JESSE 1,.

C., June 20. — Steady improvement in the marks manship of tho navy Is reported by Admiral Henry T. Mayo, commander in-chief of the Atlantic fleet. The report to Secretary Daniels sum marized is; Marked Increase in the rapidity of fire and a reasonably satisfactory increase in accuracy. Progress in the ability and con fidence of the personnel to prepare for, maintain and control the fire oi the different batteries under varying conditions. The following extracts from the reports show the efforts which have been and are being made to improve the battle efficiency of the fleet; More seems to have been accom plished during the last gunnery vear than ever before with less effort, which stands to prove that present methods, while not complete or per fect,, are fundamentally sound. The ship fleet during the last year has passed through the usual ex perience and conditions of a gunnery year, although on the whole it must be said that conditions affecting gun nery tiaining have materially Im proved. It !<j impossible to allow uninter rupted periods of training for target practice at a time when vessels may be ready for an instant's call to go into action, and If a vessel is kept in training, with a full realization of such conditions, she will be ready to go into target practice at any time without fear of poor performance. Excellent training can be had while en route from port to port and pass ing lights, buoys or vessels at sea. The training that torpedo officers have derived from tho work on the Montana is being strongly felt in the flotilla, and the time has now arrived when destroyers have be come dangerous factors to the enemy fleet in day as well as night engage ments.

It is a question, however, whether there will be any big stars in t)ie events. The general opinion prevails that new champions will be developed.

I mean by stars able to compete with the best in the game on fairly even terms." We have no "Who's Who in Sport Beyond Forty" at our side. But in baseball Anson, Young, Wagner, Lajoie and Plank were, or still are, stars beyond the legal sportive limit. In golf there, or there were, Vardon, Braid, Taylor, Johnny Ball, Walter Travis and numberless others at their best above this age. Brookes and Lamed were both stars around this age, or just short of the mark, in tennis. Fitzsimmons at forty was still able to fire a salvo of wallops, but very few fighters have been any good beyond thirty-five. FOR THE WHITES OF THEIR EYES "The annual national rifle match has been cancelled." At first thought this seems a queer sport to cancel now. But on second thought few American rifles can carry 3,000 miles, and the only interesting rifle targets for American guns are now fully that far away. THE ADVANCE GUARD For those Americans who first left for the French front a year or more ago these lines, author unknown, ure applicable— "Jolly good fellows who die for the death of it; Fight for the fun of it—live for the breath of it; Catch at the instant and drink of the minute. Thinking not, caring not what may be in it." "All the good fellows who think no.t of wages; Foreign, in part, to the thing that our age is; Giving no heed to the weight of the coffer, *■ Taking what Fate and not men have to offer." "They and the like of them, here's a health to themt Taints of our lower aims never undue them; They will survive us all, passed through the portal; Life often jests at what death makes immortal!'* THE DONG CLIMB Joe Jackson has never known what, it was to bat below .300 for a year. But the Greenville Grenade is now well back of the mark, over 50 points back, and June is skidding rapidly toward July. He needs an early start to pass the old landmark, but the chances are that he will. For the .300 eye is hard to suppress, once it develops the habit. Jackson was a .3 80 batsman down In the minors and he broke into the Main Show with .387 for a starter. Year before last he came near slipping below the mark for the first time, but finally wiggled a few points over the line in a driving finish.
