UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT.
The Altoona High School team
*nd the Johnstown High School
team   participated in their   annual
"bull fight"—-a game of foot ball-
to hit furnish-the sportsmen witajen the Mansion park field in Al-
plenty of  shooting.    Squirrel    art|jtoona last Saturday afternoon, Bad
Jtoftt. tt,. resembled more of
row at"^Doons Brook Fair" than
a sensible game of sport. From
reports it was the most disgraceful
orgie ever witnessed on .* foot ball
field. Old John Barleycorn was-
decidedly in evidence and his effect
on the spetators waa to he seen
everywhere. At one stage of the
game it was necessary to suspend
"hostilities" in order to clear the
field of the drunken mob, and then
only after a large number of the
Altoona police force and the state
constabulary had been called into
aerviee. It is also related that the
conduct of some of the Johnstown
visitors were moat reprehensible en
the streeta of Altoona and in places
of business after the game. Not
one word of thia part of the game
appeared in the Altoona newspapers.    Wonder why?
and  moat hunter*  i-rpsriams^ttfo'
difficulty ia bagging the limit.
Already plana are being laid
fer the oncoming deer season and
indications point to a heavy deer
kill. The mountains adjoining
■town have been showing a steady
increaaa ta these animals and a
great many hunters will land their
deer near home instead of traveling
the long distances tbat was notes
sary a few yeara ago.

GETS TROUT SHIPMENT
A large shipment of brook trout
arrived this morning from toe Bell-
fonte hatchery, for stocking purposes. They were assigned to the
local spprtsmjen's association and
were met by a lare number of the
members who distributed them in
Bell's run and Shaw run, North of
(town.
Another large shipment is to
arrive Saturday morning at 9 o'clock and will also be distributed
in local streams. The Fish Commission has been very liberal with
trout as far as Bellwood is concerned, which is doubtless because of a
good live Sportsmen's association.
The retard dams that were erected
by the association should be a big
add ta helping these newly liberated
fish survive toe winter.
