MISSOURI FISH AND GAME LEAGUE. 
The Next Meeting of the Missouri Fish and 
Game League Will be Held at the Marquette 
Hotel, St. Louis, Thursday, Nov. 12, 1914. 
The League and Its Work. 
The regular monthly meeting of the Missouri 
Fish and Game League was held at the Marquette 
Hotel, St. Louis, Mo., Thursday evening, Oct. 
8, 1914. A steady downpour of rain did not 
dampen the ardor of the sportsman, as the meet¬ 
ing was well attended, and plenty of enthusiasm 
prevailed. 
President H. F. Mordorf occupied the chair. 
Means of increasing the club membership were 
discussed and a number of new applications were 
received during the evening. 
As an induoment to secure new members, the 
League decided to include one year’s subscription 
of the Official Sportsman’s Guide with member¬ 
ship to the League, upon payment of one dollar 
dues before January 1st, 1915. 
A communication was received by the League 
from President H. Wheeler Perce, President of 
the Fish and Game Conservation Society of Il¬ 
linois, stating that a welcome awaited any mem¬ 
bers of our League who could attend the meeting 
of their society to be held in Chicago, Ill., Oct. 
16, 1914, and that they would be glad to receive 
any suggestions that we would care to make 
along the lines that both of our associations 
stand for. 
The League acting on the above invitation, ap¬ 
pointed Mr. E. Tell Grether as a delegate, to 
represent the Missouri Fish and Game League 
at the Chicago conference. They discussed fish 
and game topics that the League would like to 
have considered at this meeting if opportunity 
presented itself. 
A letter was received from John B. Scott, 
President, 16th Congressional District Fish and 
Game Protective League, acknowledging receipt 
of the twenty-five dollars, which this League 
authorized to be sent to them to assist them in 
paying rewards for arrest and conviction of 
parties in that section who are killing turkey out 
of season and dynamiting the streams, destroy¬ 
ing the fish. 
The individual dub member often knows of 
persons violating the game laws, as he runs into 
it when out on a hunting or fishing trip, or even 
in the neighborhood of his own club, but hesi¬ 
tates to give information for fear the outlaws 
or their friends will retaliate or in some way 
make trouble with his club if they give the in¬ 
formation. 
People from different parts of the state write 
that they have not seen a game warden in six 
months or more, that quail or turkey are being 
killed out of season, that the streams are being 
dynamited or fish are speared or shot with rifle, 
but they are not willing to assist in prosecutions. 
The League should have the financial help and 
assistance not only from each sportsman of the 
state, but each club as well. Complete informa¬ 
tion should be given as to exact time and place 
and nature of the violation of the law, names 
of parties, breaking the law where they can be 
found, names of witnesses that can testify against 
them. 
If any responsible individual or club will fur¬ 
nish this League with information of this char¬ 
acter, it will be treated as strictly confidential
