FOR TROUT FISHING
The season for trout fishing ends
July 31, and it expected that neary
anglers will follow their pastime up
to the last minute. Many of the large
rivers have been too muddy, but most
of the smaller streams have been ideal
thruout the season. Pike and bass
were especially during the early part
of the season. Camping sites were well
filled and many lakes yeilded their
offering to sportmen. However it might
be remembered for next year, that the
Department of Forests and Waters, at
the state capitol at Harrisburg, can
provide information as to camps and
and fishing streams.

WILD LIFE NOTES FROM
THE GAME COMMISSION
Beginning this week the Bureau of
Predatory Animals will present one of
its wild life exhibits in a number of
Boy Scout Camps. The exhibit, con-
sisting of bear, deer, baby beavers and
a wildcat, is in charge of Mr. ilarry
VanCleve, assistant chief of the bu-
reau. During the presentation of the
exhibit stories are told by the instrue-
tors reminiscent of their varied and
oftimes spectacular experiences with
wild animals while in the field.
Bear Damage Claims Dwindle
No claims for bear damage have
been received so far this month.
Plenty of berries and other food are
claiming the attention of Mr. Bruin at
this time so that he has no desire to
kill sheep or destroy bee-hives.
Shock Some Grain for the Game
Now that the harvest season is in
full swing it will be well to remember
that a few sheaves of grain left in a
fence corner will greatly encourage
game birds, particularly the quail, to
remain in the localities where they
have been observed through the spring
and early summer. This will also pro~
vide food and shelter for the birds dur-
ing the cold months.

EAT RATTLESNAKE TO

Fried rattlesnake was served to

women, who were initiated into the
“Den of Rattlers” society at the Na-
ture Study Camp of the Pennsylvani:
State College in the Seven Mountains,
near State Collegk. Candidates for
membership are required to eat at
least one bite of friend rattlesnake he-
fore they are eligible to the organiza-
tion. W. Elmer Ekblaw, geologist and
botanist with the MacMillan-Crocker-
land Arctic Expedition from 1918 to

week, was among those initiated.
SCORE SHEET ON
THE SIDE LINES
Last Saturday’s Game
This column, known as the Score
Sheet on the Side Lines, makes its
inittal bow for better baseball in the
rural districts. We invite correspon-
dence toward that end.
It was a good game up to the seventh
inning. Score, 2-1, in favor of Dallas
when Hunlogk’s walked off the field
on account of a decision at home plate.
(Comments taken from a letter re-
ceived from a Hunlock’s Fan) “The
decision was O. K. I stood on first
base line and about six feet from the
home plate. The only place any fan
or player could judge the play. The
fams or players on third base line
could not see the play at all. Our
player never touched home plate until
after he was tagged by the catcher.
The decision was not even close, and
I am sorry the game ended as it did.
A few 'more umpires on the field like
Cooke will help improve the game. He
makes a decision and stands by it.
Signed, Mr: X.”
Thanks, Mr. X. It was just another
baseball game. We admire a player
for fighting for every point in the
game, but for one to lose his head and
forget to be a good sport, then that’s
another story. We agree that Hun-
lock’s made a big mistake, but let's
forgive and forget and next time be
better sports.
That's why we admire fighting Bob
MacDougal in a game of baseball.
Bob's a good sport, and you know he
is in the ga:me from start to finish. He
is considered one of the best ‘second
basemen in the league. Then, he
knows the game, and that’s what
counts.
Jack Pollock proved himself a real
gentleman and sportsmen. Jack would
not get into the argument and was
willing to abide by the decision, know-
ing that umpires have but one course
to follow. We admire Jack, and if we
hed a few more such sportsmen
the game it would help put the league
in the position it justly deserves.
Adison Woolbert, the star first base-
man, continues to increase his allot-
ment of chocolate pies. We believe he
has about a dozen on ice at present.
It's about time to pass out some in-
vitations. We will think he

Tommy deserves much credit for the
kind of ball he i3 furnishing the fans

your money’s worth and lots of thrills.

Dobbs, a new addition to the Dallas
club, is proving himself a real per-
former. >
Stitzer is one player ‘that is a valu-
able asset to any club. He is a
wrecker in pinches.
Last Sunday’s Clame
Lockhart A. C. vs. Dallas.
Was it a glame?
‘We have been asked that question
so many times we are wondering if it
was not what a scribe Mrms in a
Sunday paper as “ping pong.”
Of course, we never played ‘ping
pong” but from the motion and acting
we are convinced it was something
else than the real American game
called baseball.
This Sunday’s Game
We, believe this will be a good game,
provided the management of the Sun-
day team will take a little advice and
secure a real lineup. From reports,
we believe they have added some
strength to the team.
They will need it. Luzerne Reds are
made up of the best in the valley with
a mranager who is a pastmaster in the
game. They are out to win from start
to finish.
Introducing Billy Thomas and his
Luzerne Reds this Sunday and for a
series of three games, Manager “Billy”
LaBar will have his hands full during
this series.
