State Makes $4,000 of of Fish.

How important are Wisconsin,
commercial fisheries as an economic
factor appears in figures Just com.
piled by Superintendent James New
IN OF the fish commission in his an
nual report For the year ending De
cember 81, 1913, the total catch of
food fishes marketed by commercial
fishermen from the waters Of the great
lakes under the control of Wisconsin
was 21.722,061 pounds of a market
value of $792,O4O.
Under the Wisconsin law all fisher.
men plying their trade within Wiscon.
sin boundaries are required to secure
a fishing license and must, at the end
OF each year, make a report to the
state, giving the result of their year S
work. During the year 1913 some l.,
652 men were employed by the com.
mercial fishermen and the investment
in boats, net and other equipment is
placed at $696,635.

It's easy to ba truthful when it doesn't
pay to lie
And it's easy to be patient when your
enemy is strong:
It's easy to be trusted when your salary
is high,
But it's hard to keep your friends in
line when things are going wrong.
It's easy to be hopeful when the way
ahead is fair
And it's easy to be cheerful when the
good things come your way;
It's easy to strut proudly when you have
good clothes to wear,
But It's hard to keep from lying when
lie or two will pay.
It's easy to be happy when you have no
cause to fret;
It's easy to shun doctors when you've
neither ache nor cough;
It's easy to be placid when you're keep
ing out Of debt
But it's hard to sidestep trouble when
your salary's cut Off.
It's easy to tell others to cheer up when
you are glad
And it's easy to be fearless when you
haven't any foes,
But it's hard to keep from feeling that
the world is rotten BAD
When you've been an ass and know that
every one who knows you knows.

These figures are taken from the re-
ports sent in by 5S8 licensed fishermen.
They show an increase of 4,114,225
pounds and $139.148S3 in value above
the 1912 catch. The Wisconsin fish
commission is unable to secure white
fish eggs in such quantities that the
whiteflsh may be propagated in the
state hatcheries on as large a scale as
is desired Superintendent Nevin has
applied all his efforts with what spawn
that can be secured each year, to stock
ing the waters of Lake Michigan and
Green bay. The result of this work is
that although there is no appreciable
increase in the catch, reports for the
past ten years show that the whitefish
in these waters are holding their own
Lake trout and bluefin, which the Wis
consin hatcheries propagate on an i'm
mense scale, show great results. The
catch Of these species has been on the
increase for years. The 1913 catch
shows an increase of over 500 1000
pounds in lake trout and over 465,00O
pounds in bluefin over the catch of
1912
The sturgeon are rapidly passing
from our waters. only $3.50 pounds
were reported caught last year. At one
time when these large. inoffensive fish
became entangled in the tishermen's
nets. they we're knocked in the head
and thrown back into the water. A ma
ture female now often brings more
than fifty dollars A total catch of O.
All .260 crawfish from Green bay wa
tiers is also shown. The average mar
ket price for them is 80 cents per 100.
totaling S8,59S0S.
The largest catch of lake trout was
made by 80 fishermen out of the port
of Milwaukee, a total of 650,S2O
pounds. This is closely followed by
Sheboygan out of which port % fisher
men caught 643.5OO pounds The
largest catch of whitetish was out of
Sturgeon bay, being 1880 pounds.

Getting a Mans Measure.

Il wonder how ! can find out wheth-

That's easy. Treat him as you
would treat dog that you didn't care
for, and II he keeps on wanting to do
things to make you happy it will be
sure sign that he really loves you"
But what if should treat him that
way and he should quit doing things

FOR SHORT DouBLE-HEADERs
Critic Advocates Seven lnnlnos Each
Where Two Contests are Played
on Same Afternoon.

Why not limit the double sader
games to seven innings each? It's a
scheme that has been tried out in the.
Southern leagues with great success.
Two seven-inning games in one aft
ernoon would give the average fan
just about as much baseball as he
could comfortably absorb. 1t wouldn't
force the ball player to the extreme
limit Of his endurance, and, best OF
all, it would enable the fan to get
home in time for warm dinner.
Cutting the double-header games to
seven innings would do no one harm.
1t would do plenty Of good. Cutting
off four innings from an afternoons
baseball session would mean lessening
the playing period about one hour and,
therefore, the pastime would end be.
fore darkness settled over the land
The season Of double-headers is now
upon US. Every fan is keen about TAX.
ing in a bargain bill, but along about
the fourth or fifth inning of the sec
ond game the exhibition becomes mo-
notonous. OF course. the greatest ma
tority of the fans stick to the bitter
finish, but they stay not so much be-
cause their baseball appetite isn't sat
tsfed, but because they want to see
just how the game will finish.
Most double-headers begin about .
p. m. allowing something over two
hours for each game and a l5-minute
intermission between combats. It
means that play doesn't end until
about $780, That means that the fan
doesn't get home until from 7:15 to s
p. m, owing to the delay in getting
out of the crowded park and the usual
delay caused by the slow moving OF a
fleet OF special street cars. And every
housewife is fully agreed that 7:15 to
p. m. is too darned late for any
man to expect his wife to keep dinner
simmering"
II the games were cut two innings
each the playing period would be les
sened about an hour, which would
mean that the final innings of the sec
ond game would not have to be played
by torchlight and that father would
get home on time to dine with the rest
Of the family.
The seveninning double-header idea
probably will prove to be a popular
one with the fans, and it is likely that
If the agitation assumes sufficient voice
that the ruling powers in baseball will
hear it and amend their laws so that
seveninning double-headers will be
the rule starting with the 1916 season.

Most of these players are Tucked"
out of the big leagues. But In at least
one instance some of these disgrun-
tied batters are right. The four young
men who do business for Connie"
Mack on his lawn are as near to be-
ing a net without being net as any
thing or things could be. There seems
to be only one kind OF a hit they can
not stop-something going so fast
they cannot see It,
That infield has won two pennants
for him In the last three years, and is
guiding the Athletics along the
straight and narrow path again. Last
season Mack's pitching staff was any
thing but a championship continuance.
Yet the young pitchers could be
pounded for various quantities of runs
and the games still be saved, because
Baker, Barry, Collins and McInnis
took 1t upon themselves to manufac-
ture more runs than the other fell
lows could.
1t is up to the infield to pull the
club through to the top If it is to
mingle in another world series next
autumn.
1t makes no difference what the
tally sheet shows. Baker, Barry, Col
Inns and McInnis are always on the
job. looking for something to keep
them busy. And they can be depended
