# "The Winning Title" - Life Magazine Contest This page announces Life's picture contest, won by Alfred J. Walker of Philadelphia. The winning illustration shows a domestic interior scene with a woman at a desk, a small dog, and a figure on a bed—depicting the caption "Love is not guided by hour or storm—its message will reach in any form." The secondary article "Pot-Sports" critiques the Clove Valley Rod and Gun Club's practice of shooting captive ducks for sport—calling it worse than pigeon-shooting. The author argues such "pot-sport" hunting is unsporting and cruel, contrasting it with traditional field hunting. The piece sarcastically defends the club's members against public criticism while emphasizing that killing tame birds represents poor sportsmanship and questionable taste.
