sloughs If they had not been rescued
BY the fish commission. OF the 2,000,.
000 fish rescued there were SOC, 600
large and small mouth black bass,
100000 of which were planted in in
land lakes of the state, the remaining
$4,000 bass and 10000 rough fish
were all returned TO the main chan
mel of the Mississippi river where they
were free from all danger of being
land locked or being frozen when the
ponds freeze up (as these ponds and
sloughs are very shallow they freeze
solid in the winter), or perish for the
want of circulation of water. The
average cost per thousand to the state
for rescuing and, carrying to the main
channel was $3.50. The fishermen
along the Mississippi river have to
pay a license for catching rough fish.
and all the money derived from this
source goes to the fish commission to
be used for the purpose of reseuing
fish.
Superintendent Nevin reports hav.
ing in the hatcheries this winter So.
$40, 1000 eggs of the trout family. This
is more trout eggs on trays in the
process of incubation than all the
state hatcheries combined with the
exception of Washington ana Oregon.
where they hatch large numbers of
salmon eggs to keep up the supply Of
fish for the canneries. Besides the
large number of eggs that are in the
hatcheries this winter, there was
spawned, impregnated and planted
back on the spawning beds of Lake
Michigan 15,000,O00 lake trout eggs,
making some 30 bushels of eggs that
were left to hatch in their natural
way.
Under law passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature the fishermen
pay for taking the eggs from fish
which are caught for commercial pur.
poses, whether the eggs are sent to
the hatcheries or planted back on the
spawning beds. Michigan had the
same law placed on their statute books
last winter, and it is expected that
Illinois viii have a similar law passed
at their special session, as the gov.
ernor made mention of 1t in his call.
So that in the future we will have uni.
form laws on Lake Michigan during
the closed season.
The commissioners are making
greater preparations than ever for
collecting spawn and distributing the
fry from the spring spawning varie,
ties. They expect to fully double
their output of game fishes this year
The commission has just completed
the building of fine hatchery and
dwelling house at Wild Rose. also Il
new ponds were built at this hatchery
last summer. All the brook trout sent
out from this hatchery will be finger
lings instead Of fry and will be plant
ed in the streams during the months
of November and December.
At the Deiafield hatchery thew have
made considerable improvements. One
of the largest bass ponds In the coun
try was built during the past summer
IRON pipes we've used in place Of woe

TRADE COBB FOR
WALTER JOHNSON
STAR PITCHER OF WASHINGTON
TEAM MAY BE SECURED BY
DETROIT IN EXCHANGE
FOR TY COBB.

Chicago, oct. Ely Cobb in n
tr,,de Tor Walter Johnson"
The most talked of subject among
the baseball scribes and magnates in
attendance at the worlds series was
the proposed exchange of the star
ulayors on the Detroit and Washing
top teams.
The fact that Cobb is dissatisfied
with his berth i'm Detroit, which was
first published this week has started
the trade talk going.
While Ty is quoted as saying THAT he
is beginning to feel that he is not APP
nrociated i'm Detroit, the general inn
,rcssion Is to the effect that the Geor-
eian is inappreciative of the efforts of
his benefactors in the City OF the
Straits and offers the inappreciative
gag as an excuse to go elsewhere
II is said that the original PROPOSE
tion of the Detroit management was
10 try TO effect trade of Cobb Tor
pitcher Johnson and outfielder Milan
nf the Nationals, but that Manager
NcAleer would not listen to any such
deal But man for man the Washing
ton manager might consider the eX-
change of his premier twirler for Ty-
rus.
While President Navin has several
pitching recruits for trial In the
spring practice. none of them is con-
sidered up to anywhere near the cal
ibre of Walter Johnson and in the
pitching department ii is generally
regarded that the Tigers must be
strengthened before they can aspire to
championship honors again.
with pitcher like Walter John
son and an outfield composed of Craw-

present strong infield the Detroiter's
chances would surely be more glitter
ing than at present, so declare the
sharps.

Inns of the Athletics made Connie
Mack smile.
collins for Cobb" inquired the as
tute Connie. what in the name OF
common sense did Cobb accomplish IN
the worlds series last year," Perish
the thought! Collins is a resourcefu
and brainy ball player"
So all of that kind of exchange tall
peTishes.
The most likely dope is the exchange
of Cobb for Johnson.
