glaub's boys always seem to hit these
spurts right in the midst Of the squirt
lest part. But right here is where one
squirt is going to get punctured.
. Some shake-up in the Fargo-Moor-
head team. Watch for it.
The Grand Forks Herald says Far
go-Moorhead fans were at Unglaub's
throat a few weeks age. That's a fine
little Short n ugly" The local fans
have been back of the G~raingrowerS'
manager almost to a man from the
very opening of the season. On the
other hand, after giving Grand Forks
the best ball club that yer represent
ed that city, the Grand Forks fans
turned on Eddie Wheeler like a pack
Of wolves and fairly raved when the
breaks began going against his team
and they dropped a few games. It's
a sweet little knock to come from a
town where the papers lave had to
fairly get down on their knees and
plead for the support Of the fans for
the home team when it was losing.
Better take a squint at the beam in
your own eye.
Jack Landry, who replaces Olson as
umpire, was one Of the best arbitra-
tors in the Northern league last year,
according to sport writers Of the cir
cult and there is general joy over the
fact that he is going to replace the
incompetent Olson. s.. -"
Grand Forks is the only town in the
league that keeps continually ham
mering on the umpire alibi.. Granted
there has been some miserable umpir-
ing in the league, undoubtedly every
other team has got it's share. The
G~raingrowers have lost a number of
games because of rank decisions, but
the fans here don't show a yellow
streak by continually yowling about it.

Sam Finkelman is preparing for
his attempt to swim the English
channel in September, and his
practice shows him doing stunts
that no other swimmer has
thought of. He has been swim
ming about New York bay with
the end Of a tow line of a small
boat in his mouth, pulling it
about.
This playing tug is one of Fin
kelman's favorite pastimes, at
least when he is training for a
long distance race He claims that
it develops strength and endur-
ance. His method Of procedure is
to seize the boats painter between
his teeth, then start out with a
powerful stroke and pull the. load
ed craft after him. Several times
in the past has he thus piloted a
heavy skiff for miles.

Lay Dying on Beat.
Miss Watson found that suffering is not
limited TO the women and children. "On
many sides | heard OF a man who had
sin dying on an oyster boat for ten
days. At last | found his widow, Mary
S. who told me her story. Her husband
was an oyster dredger, who with his wire
and children went TO work for the B. Com
pany. There were Mary, the husband and
seven children On his second trip he was
fatally hurt by a blow from the capstan.
The men dared not put back, and for ten
days he lay on bunk, with only water
for relief. Gangrene set in, and when the
boat was unloaded the surgeon said II was
too late for an operation. and little
later the man died. The family was so
hard pressed for money tho little girls
had TO 20 out and take up a collection.
The cannery company would give them
no help whatever and even refused to
give the wife an order for groceries from
the companys store. After he had been
dead two days some OF the women per-
suaded the owner TO advance the money
for the funeral. accepting the Insurance
policy for So as a bond.
Shortly after her husbands death
Mary heard there was good chance at
the Lakeshore cannery and she and her
family went down there, only to find II
was worse than Biloxi, and that the man
who had been booming Lakeshore was
just another agent, receiving 81 a family
he obtained as workers. At Lakeshore
the shuckers were not even paid In
money, but in checks and books on the
company stores. Bread that was cents
in Biloxi was 10 cents loaf: children's
shoes which one might buy In the Balti-
more stores for 9S cents were 81 70 and
81 Is. Conditions were so bad that Mary
and her children moved TO Pass Christian.

"Of recent years. especially. the need
has increased. The trade of canning oys-
tiers and shrimps is growing by leaps and
bounds on the coast in Biloxi Miss, es-
pecially. Mississippi has had child

Miss Watson, a native OF Baltimore,
from settlement work in Pittsburgh and
New York graduated into an expert in
industrial problems as they affect wom-
en- and children. She was director of the
investigation OF Tenement House Work
