i i' BIG TEAMS WILL BUCK EACH OTHER Michigan and Wisconsin Both Want to Meet Chicago Next Year. Journal Special Service. Chicago, Dec. 5.The football season of 1907 may see but one big game between the members of the Big Four of the Big Nine, that being the game already scheduled for Nov. 2 between Chicago and Minnesota at Minneapolis.

I now develops that the three-cornered agreement by which Michigan, Chicago and Wisconsin decided to postpone their meeting in football indefinitely is binding upon all three and cannot be set aside by one or the other of the schools at wili. This means, practically, that Wisconsin might raise objections to the scheduling of a Chicago-Michigan game unless a Wisconsin-Chicago game were arranged, or that Michigan might not see the justice in the resumption of football games between Chicago and Wisconsin without the annual ChicagoMichigan game. Chicago appears to be the keystone of the situation, for Manager Charles Baird of Michigan has said that it rests with the Chicago seuate as to whether or not the game shall be played, and it is practically certain that there would be no hitch from the wolverines. Wisconsin has also intimated that it is willing to meet Chicago, but is not readv to resu me its gam es with Michigan or Minnesota. Members of the University of Chicago sena te with whom res ts the final decision, state that they can make no predictions on the outcome.

Co ORIOmATORS AND SOLE fflUUKERS OF BAW-SIKBS IN CLOTHING Eleventh Hour Shopping Broadway IfEW LUMBER CAMPS WATCHED CLOSELY Venison Cheaper Than Pork for the Cutters of Tall Timber. Special to The Journal. Calumet, Dec. 5.While a ma.iority of the hunters who went into the woods at the opening of the deer season were fortunate enough to secure one or more of the fleet-footed animals, the number killed is said by many to be less than that of a few vears ago, and some of the questions being asked, 'are the deer disappearing from Miehii gan? Are they becoming less year by year? Or are they lust holding their own?" These are questions which eve ry person -who is interested in subject of game game protection will be glad to be enlightened upon. Te years ago five deer were the limit for each iicensed hunter, and in nearly any part of the upper peninsu la even a novice could secure his full quota of deer, and this was equally true some parts of the lower peninsula.

Th result of this was that the slaughter of deer was frightful. Some the cam ps in the upper peninsula ten years ago, composed of fr om six to eight men, took out of the woods the full number of large deer for eve ry man in the party. Lumbermen to Blame. For instance, the cam composed oi eight men including one as cook and a young man as choreboy, neither of whom hunted, yet this camp had forty deer carcasses hung up in less than ten days after the season opened, and had the same number of carcasses hauled out to the railroad station and shipped to different points. I was no uncommon thing for a hunter to go into the woods and see from three to a dozen deer in a day's hun and in most instances be able to kill more and sell the deer so killed to lumber camps in their vicinity, alfho the lumber cam ps in many instanc es employed a man to supply the camp with fresh meat, and thousands of deer were killed by these hunters.

Venison became a drug, in some lumber camp and the men tired of it and asked tor beef and pork instea d. Beef and pork were costly, while the deer cost nothing but the killing, so the unprincipled proprieto rs of these lumbering concerns continued to employ men to kill deer in and out of season. But now all is changed. The present Jaw allows but two deer to be ki'l ed by each licensed hunter, and if the lumber cam ps use deer for meat they are doing it so slylv that thev are not being caught at it very often. The sympathy of the game wardens generally is with the settlers, who occasionally will kill a deer for food, and it would be practically impossibe to secure a jury to convict a settler on such a charge, but not so with the lumber camps, who are made the special mark for prosecution when caught at it.

Kill Was Smaller. The number of deer killed in Michigan, has decreased from 22,000 in 1903 to 3,500 in 1905, altho the number of licensed hunters in the woods has increased. The inferen ce is that the deer are surely being exterminated in Michigan forests, but. lovers of the sport say they are as plentiful now as they were ten years ago, and it is just as easy to get five as two A sportsman who killed two deer within thirty minutes after leaving camp on the day of the present season savs that part of the countrv he- hunted in is full of deer. also savs tlmt a great many hunters stalk deer there, and notwithstanding this fact, he believes a sportsman would have no troub le in filling his license there at any time.
