Hub Perdue Has Won II; Lost 7
Keeping Braves 0ut of Cellar

A THOUGH with a club that Is
~ now in sixth place, a good
many points under the 500
mark. Hub Perdue, the former Nash
vile hurler. now with the Boston
Braves has won II and lost only Z
games this season. That's per-
centage Of .632 and is about 200
points ahead Of that Of his team.
The right handler has won his last
six contests. and has been returned
starts. That's a pretty good record for
any pitcher, and It's no wonder that
| Johnny MCGraw. Of the Giants was
| so anxious TO get the big right handler.
Perdue has been with the Braves
a good many seasons. but II looks as
II this would be the first time in his
big league career that he win finish
above the 800 mark. In order TO do
this, though, he must keep on pitch
ing the kind Of ball he has so far
this campaign
He is Giant Tanner.
Probably this is another reason
that McGraw would like to get Per
due. Hub has faced the Giants four
times this season He has pitched
twenty innings against the National
League leaders, and in that time they
have counted only seven TALES off
him, while he owns two wins over
them, and has not been beaten
Winning six straight. the Braves
right handler beat the Giants. Phil
lies Cardinals, Pirates and the Su-
perbas twice. He has been hit hard
in few Of the games, but his team
mates always came to the rescue and
made more tallies than the other fell
lows could get off him
Although he has won eleven and lost
only six. Perdue has been hurting
none too good ball He has pitched
1874 l3 innings this campaign and
in that time SO tallies have been
scored off him, while the opposition
has batted his benders to places I'M
occupied 1876 times. In other words,
two hits off him have brought two
tallies.
Keeps Team Above Bottom.
The best game Perdue has pitched
was his first Of the season. when.
on the opening day of the National
League season he shut out the
Giants, allowing them only two bin
giles. He has hurled only two shut
outs this season the other coming
against the Pirates who he let down
with four binglcs
Perdua has been working in his
regular turn for the Braves this year
and # has been his good work that
has kept the team from the bottom.

S1,7o0,O00 Muskrats,

It Is not generally known that the
muskrat is the most important fur.
bearing animal Of North America. In
one year alone (1910) 5,500,000 musk.
rat skins were put upon the market,
realizing to the trappers sum ap-
proximately $1.700,000. A large per.
centage Of the muskrat catch is fur
nished by the tidewater region Of Ma
ryland, Delaware and New Jersey. In
Dorchester county, Maryland, the
marshes are usually leased to the trap
per for half the value of the catch. In
that county some ESQ, 900 skins are ta-
ken annually, says Harper's Weekly.
Not only fur of the muskrat is used,
but the meat also, which finds local
consumption and is shipped to Balti-
more, Wilmington and other cities. 1t
is surprising to learn that the imam
cial return exceeds that Of the large
oyster industry Of the same region.
The fur of the black muskrat COM
mands the highest price, and In Dor
