GIANTS USE MUTE SIGNALS.

WALTER JOHNSON DEMANDS
MORE SALARY THIS YEAR

Walter Johnson is one of the few
players who up to date has failed to
come to terms with Manager McAieer.
The star twirer Of the Nationals,
while not a hold-out, is carrying on
most convincing line of correspond
ence with his manager regarding his
value TO the team. Johnson was one
Of the best paid pitchers in the Amer
lean league last season. but when he
signed that contract he gave notice
that he would expect a substantial in
crease this year. This increase was
tackled on to the contract sent him
10y McAleor, but IL seems that ii is
not quite up 20 Johnson's expectations,
and as the big pitcher is one Of tibet
cleverest business propositions when
rs comes 20 carrying on negotiations
with his club. il is safe to say that
McAleer is receiving some very in
teresting letters from him.
Having been convinced by the praise
which other players critics and rival
managers have heaped on him. that ne
is one of the greatest pitchers the
game has ever produced. Johnson ex-
poets 70 be paid accordingly and the
chances are that when he attaches his
signature to a contract this spring it
will be at figure as high as any
pitcher in either major league is re-
ceiving. not even barring Christy
iMathewson.
NF,NI.o~
Noyes, imparts the information that
nearly all his players have come into
the fold, but he neglected To inclose
the list of those signed, which has

Laurium Department
SAYS PROPOSED TARIFF
AGREEMENT WOULD HELP

Considerable local interest is being
manifested i'm the proposed reduction
in tariff rates between the United
States and Canada and speculation is
rife as to wether the changes would
be a benefit or detriment to this dis
trict.
In discussing this question a well
known Laurium business man yester-
day took slightly favorable attitude.
While he stated that he could see no
reason to expect lower meat prices af-
ter the tariff scale as proposed by
President Taft in his special message
to congress last week is adopted If ii
Is adopted, and placed in effect, he
anticipated that it might help to low
er the cost of living i'm other ways.
Beef is no more expensive in this
country than i'm Canada and in fact
our markets are often lower" said
the man above referred to. However,
ether farm products is much lower,
particularly wheat, butter, eggs and
vegetables and with a lower tariff on
these articles as is proposed. gener-
al reduction which would affect local
markets might be expected"
AS an Illustration of this point. he
stated that one of the copper country
wholesale houses now finds it cheaper
to import turnips from Canada. pay
ing the duty on them. than to raise
them in this country. and that the
quality of the imported article is bet
ter than that raised in this country.

THREE SEEK APPOINTMENT.
Spirited Contest Expected for Deputy
Game Wardenship.

Indications point to the fact that
there will be a spirited contest for the
office of deputy state game warden for
this district, TO succeed the late John
Gipp. Already the names of three
candidates have been mentioned in
an appointment is not expected for
several weeks. there is every reason to
believe that each candidate will re-
ceive considerable support.
Mr.. Gipp was generally conceded to
have been one of the most efficient
game wardens this district ever had
His close attention to duty and vigil
lence in the detection of game law vio-
lations earned for him the respect of
all of the sportsmen Of this district.
His successor will undoubtedly find it
difficult to maintain his fine record.
It is generally expected that there
will be some changes i'm the state
game department before long and for
this reason. it is possible that the
of deputy for this dis
trict may be delayed. However, as the
season is one i'm which game law vio-
lations are not likely to occur and as
the county employees a deputy to
guard against infractions. this delay
Is causing very little anxiety locally
Candidates for the position probably
will prepare petitions and submit them
TO the state game warden during the
next few weeks. and the position will
likely be filed In the spring.

VETS TO START EARLY.
In One Week Baseball Men Will Be
On Way South.

In less than one week six members
of the Nationals will go into training
at Hot Springs. Manager McAleer
has notified Schaefer Mcbride, Milan
Johnson, Gcssler and Hughes to re-
port at Hot Springs Feb. 5. These
players will remain at the Arkansas
health resort a whole month. when
they will report at Atlanta to finish
their training with the rest of the
team.
Some surprise. no doubt, will be ex-
pressed at McAleers selection for the
stay at Hot Springs. No one figured
that Milan. Mcbride or johnson re-
quired this preliminary work. because
all of the trio are always ready TO
play ball. but McAleer evidently has
good reason for sending them into
training in advance of the regulars.
The trip to the springs viii be of
great benefit to all the players. but
particularly to Tom Hughes. a veter-
an who should be able to get himself
in perfect condition there Johnson
and Hughes WILL barring accident. be
ready to pitch midseason ball by the
time they report at Atlanta. and they
should be able To furnish the best kind
of batting practice TO the other play
ers.
The Hot Springs squad will. Of
course, be in charge OF Capt. Mcbride
who will handle the men under in

permits Herring to do. The special
