for big game and wild turkeys, and its efforts 

 have contributed to the passage of bills providing 

 a close season of 3 to 10 years for antelope in 

 6 States; for elk in 5 States, and for mountain 

 sheep and wild turkeys in 2 States. 



It has supported the principle that protection 

 can best be secured by restricting the sale of 

 game and limiting the amount of a day's or a 

 season's bag. The influence thus exerted was 

 largely instrumental in securing the passage of 

 numerous laws embodying these features. 



The sale of all kinds of game has been pro- 

 hibited by some States, and that of certain species 

 by others. As a result of efforts in this direction 

 three kinds of game — antelope, elk and prairie- 

 chickens — have been practically removed from 

 the markets, except in States where their killing 

 is still permitted. — Philadelphia Record. 



The League of American Sportsmen, which has 

 an organization in every State and the majority 

 of counties, is to a considerable degree responsi- 

 ble not only for the better protective laws, but 

 for the aroused public sentiment in favor of game 

 protection and for the Lacy act passed by Con- 

 gress. The organization deserves the fullest 

 credit for what it has accomplished. — Philadelphia 

 Public Ledger. 



And the O. D. G. H. predicted when the 

 League was organized that it was not likely 

 to accomplish any important achievements. 

 The editor of that antique sheet should 

 guess again. — Ed. 



WANTED: 1,000 MORE. 



Mr. W. S. G. Todd, of Coleridge, Cal., 

 has recently done a splendid piece of work 

 in the interest of game protection. Some 

 weeks ago he wrote me that he was making 

 an effort to get a lot of his friends into 

 the League, and that he would send me 

 .some applications later. Sure enough, 

 they came in due time — 13 of them. That 

 is said to be an unlucky number, but the 

 old adage does not hold good in this case. 

 The most remarkable thing about Mr. 

 Todd's work is that none of these men 

 live in his own town. He says he has done 

 a lot of work on the Coleridge contingent, 

 Shut that the so-called sportsmen there are 

 not sufficiently advanced in the matter of 

 game protection to be willing to put up a 

 dollar each for it ; so Mr. Todd made a 

 trip some time ago to Boulder Creek and 

 interviewed a number of sportsmen there 

 on the subject of joining the League. After 

 his return home he continued to work on 

 them by mail until he secured the 13 appli- 

 cations, and now sends them in, with his 

 check to cover. This is another proof that 

 results can be obtained in this work when- 

 ever the right man goes at it and sticks 

 to it. Oh ! for 1,000 such men as Todd. 



THE LEAGUE DID IT. 

 The League of American .Sportsmen has given 

 attention especially to securing better protection 



LEAGUE NOTE 

 Mr. S. W. Fuller, local warden of the 

 L. A. S., of East Milton, Mass., has con- 

 victed 5 men for violations of the fish and 

 game laws of that State, and has been 

 paid rewards from this office of $10 in each 

 case.
