FISHER LOOKS GOOD"
Vermont School Master Making an
Impression at Bermuda

Down in balmy Bermuda. where the
New York American players are putting
in their spring training practice. Raw
Fisher, the former Bennington finger. is
making a great impression on Manager
Chance.
To quote one baseball expert If Raw
Fisher, the Vermont schoolmaster, makes
good this season, Manager Frank Chance
will be able to count on another valuable
pitcher. Fisher had bad season last
year, due probably to the fact that he got
started late and never was able to get in
right shape. Chance has been watching
the Nermonter work and has repeatedly
expressed the opinion that he thinks
Fisher will make good this season.
''No one realizes more than the pitcher
that he must show class this year. if he
wishes to stick in the major league. Spur
red on by this and an ambition to pitch
good ball for his new boss, Ray keeps 90
! ing at his work like a good fellow. He
is the most diligent worker in the camp,
and that is saying a lot, for everybody APP
pears to have caught the habit. One of his
stunts is to run around the field three
times a day to get down to playing weight
and incidently pick up more speed. He
| is always active. He isn't letting min
ute get away from him. Some of the time
he is out in the outheld chasing flies. other
times he is batting out fungoes. and the
rest of the while warming up.
Fisher wants to start right in and burr
them over the plate in mid-season speed
But Chance won't listen to that Chanc,
thinks the best way for a twirler to get
his arm into shape Is to take things easy
| and in regard to pitching, Chance has in
! structed Fisher accordingly"

FIeotrifioation Of the Earth.

The electrifcation of the earth is a
problem of the physicists. As stated
by DR.. George G. Simpson, observa-
tions from pole to pole have proved
that the earth is a negatively charged
sphere and that the flow of negative
electricity into the conducting air is
equivalent to a constant current Of
more than 1000 amperes. Yet the
charge of the earth's surface remains
undiminished. More positive than neg
ative electricity is brought down by
rain. etc, and no source of a return
current of 1000 amperes is known and
no explanation of its absence.

PROTEST IS MADE
BY COMMISSION
In Letter to O'Neal States
Why Oyster Laws Should
Not Be Abolished

Montgomery. February 2L-tSpecial) y
The oyster commission of Alabama has
filed with Governor ONea1 a vigorous
protest against a letter sent the execu-
tive by the Alabama Oystermen's Pro-
tective association. setting out reasons
why the oyster laws of the state should
be abolished.
The letter OF the Oystermen's Protective
association states that the oyster laws
are bad and obnoxious from the catcher
on up the line to the shipper, that these
laws place upon the industry an unneccs-
sary and unjust taxation from which no
benefit to the business or the common
wealth of the state is derived
The circular letter further claims that
dealers throughout the state have been
driven entirely out of business through
unjust taxes and licenses. Forcing them
TO turn to other markets outside the state
for their supply of oysters
on the other hand, the oyster commits
sion denies that the letter gives the cor
rect idea of those engaged in the oys-
ter business of Alabama.
Throughout the entire letter to your
excellency. deep prejudice is disclosed" +"
declares the oyster commission. This
antipathy to the oyster laws and the COM
mission. by the writer and the self-con-
stituted 10 or u custodlans of the oyster
mems interest. one of whom Is an em-
ployer of the writer, man who has re-
sisted the law from the first day of its
enactment. is born of that hatred charae-
teristice of foreigners for American in
stitutlons of progress.
The commissions reply goes deeply into
the situation, setting forth the successful
operation of similar laws in other states,
and giving easons why the laws should
not be abolished.
The members OF the Alabama oyster
commission are John Craft, president, Mo-
bile Daniel Bosarge Bayou In Batre
