CRABS THREATEN TO
WALK OUT ON STRIKE

One of the National Capitals most
sacred institutions Is shaking to its
foundations!
The crab feast OF song and story is
endangered because there Is every in
dication that the crabs Of the Chesa-
peake bay have declared a general
strike!
Just as the Federal Government is up
to its ears in the matter OF other sub
marine activities comes the news that
the crab supply is getting smaller and
smaller, and a hurry call has been sent
to the Bureau Of Fisheries for experts
to make an investigation. Whether 1t
is because the crabs are Jealous of the
prominence that has been given on the
newspapers first pages to the other
underwater monsters that are ripping
and tearing things to pieces in the
season crabs have always regarded as
their very own. or whether the crab Is
just giving way to his natural bent and
becoming particularly grabbed. the
fisheries experts must decide. The fact
remains that the supply Of crabs is
small and Is getting smaller.
Blame Virginia.
Maryland fisheries interests place the
blame on Virginia. claiming that Hamp-
ton crab dredgers. by dredging the Tir-
ginia shoals in the winter and gathering

| up the spawning and ruin the beds. The
young crabs are born in the southern
bay and scatter to the sea and up the
| rivers in the spring.

Marine and Fisheries, which provides
that all migratory and shellfish shall be
placed under the Jurisdiction of the
Federal Government. This would make
the Government wholly responsible for
the preservation of the crab and allied
fishing supplies, and would end the
long-standing quarrel between Mary
land and Virginia on this subject.
Would Revise Bill.
An effort will be made to revive this
bill next session. II this fails. officials
of the Fisheries Bureau will seek to In
fuence the States OF Maryland and
Virginia to pass uniform fishing laws
and to enforce such laws properly.
Bureau of Fisheries officials believe
that the situation Will be greatly clari-
fled after the Federal Government con-
cludes its contemplated investigation.
Whether the result will be for Com
gress to give the Federal Government
jurisdiction over such fisheries. or
whether it will bring relief in State
legislation Is not important. officials of
the Bureau of Fisheries said, so lons
as relief is obtained and the threat OF
extinction Of crab fisheries is removed.

1.-THE MANAGER OF MADDEN'S HILL

ordered Daddy, as his players eagerly
trotted in. Say things to that
Muckle Harris! Wen walk through
this game like sand through sieve"
Bob Irwin ran to the plate waving
his bat at Harris.
PUT one over, you freckleface! I've
been dyin' fer this chanst. You're
on Madden's Hill now"
Muckle evidently was not the kind
of pitcher to stand coolly under such
bantering. Obviously he was not used
to it. His face grew red and his hair
waved up. Swinging hard. he threw
the ball straight at Bob's head. Quick
as a cat Bob dropped fat
Never touched me-" he chirpcd,
jumping up and pounding the plate
with his bat you couldn't hit a
barn door. Come on. I'll paste ono
a mile"
Bob did not get an opportunity to
hit, for Harris could not locate the
plate and passed him to first on four
balls.
Dump the first one" whispered
Daddy in Grace's ear Then he gave
Bob a signal to run on the first pitch
Grace tried to bunt the first ball,
but he missed it. His attempt. how
ever, was so violent that he fell over
in front of the catcher, who could
not recover in time to throw, and
Bob got to second base. At this
juncture. the Madden's Hill band OF
loyal supporters opened up with a
mingling of shrill yells and whistles
and jangling of tin cans filled with
pebbles. Grace hit the next ball into
second base and, while he was being
The Washington herald., 1915-04-11

thrown out, Bob raced to third. With
Sam Wlckhart up it looked good for
score, and the crowd yelled louder.
Sam was awkward yet efficient, and
he batted a long fly to right field. The
fielder muffcd the ball Bob scored,
Sam reached second base. and the
crowd yelled still louder. Then Lane
struck out and Mohler hit to short
stop. retiring the side.
NatcheZ scored run on a hit, a
base on balls, and another error by
Grace. Every time ball went to-
ward Grace at short Daddy groaned.
In their half of the inning Madden's
Hill made two runs. increasing the
score 3 to ?.
The Madden's Hill boys began to
show the strain of such a close con-
test. If Daddy had voiced aloud his
fear it would have been: They'll
blow up in a minnit!" Frank Price
alone was slow and cool. and he
pitched in mastery style. Natchcz
could not beat him. On the other
hand, Maddcn's Hill hit Muck Har-
ris hard, but superb fielding kept
runners off the bases. AS Daddy's
team became more tense and excited
Bo Stranathan's players grew stead
Ter and more arrogantly confident.
Daddy saw it with distress, and he
could not realize just where Natchez
had license for such confidence.
Daddy watched the game with the
eyes of hawk.
As the Natchez players trooped in
for their sixth inning at bat, Daddy
observed marked change in their
demeanor. Suddenly they seemed to
have been let loose: they were like a
band of Indians. Daddy saw every
thing. He did not miss seeing Um-
pire Gale take ball from his pocket
and toss it to Frank. and Daddy
wondered if that was the ball which
had been in the play. Straightway,
however, he forgot that in the inter-
est of the game
Bo Stranathan bawled: "Wull, In
juns. hyar's where we do EN-. We've
jest ben loafn' along. Git ready to
tear the air. you rootersp
Kelly hit wonderfully swift ball

ger Blandy came to the plate. The
ball he sent out knocked Gracc's leg
from under him as if it were a ten
pin. Whisner popped fly over
Tay Tay Mothers head Now Tay
Tay was fat and slow, but he was a
sure catch. He got under the ball. 1t
struck his hands and jumped back
twenty feet up into the air 1t was
a strangely live ball. Kelly again hit
to shortstop, and the bali appeared
to start slow, to gather speed with
every bound and at last to dart low
and shoot between Gracc's legs.
"Haw! Haw" roared Bo. They've
got hole at short Hit fer the hole,
fellcrs. Watch me! Jest watch mel"
And he swung hard on the first
pitch. The ball glanced like streak
straight at Grace, took vicious
jump, and seemed to firt with the
infelder's hands, only to evade them.
Malloy fouled a pitch and the ball
hit Sam Wickhart square over the
eye. Sans eye popped out and as
sumed the proportions and color of
a huge plum.
"Heyr yelled Blandy, the rival
catcher. "Aair you ketchin' with yer
mug:
Sam would not delay the game nor
would he don the mask
Daddy sat hunched on his soap
box, and. as in a hateful dream, he
saw his famous team go to pieces.
He put his hands over his ears to
shut out some of the uproar. And he
watched that little yarn ball fly and
shoot and bound and roll to crush
his fondest hopes. Not one of his
players appeared able to hold it. And
Grace had holes in his hands and
legs and body. The ball went right
through him He might as we'll have
been so much water. Instead of be-
ing shortstop he was simply hole.
After every hit DaddJ saw that ball
more and more as something alive.
1t sported with his in6elders. 1t
bounded like huge jack-rabbit, and
went swifter and higher at every
bound. 1t was here, there. every

the ball appeared to strike his hands

while, the Natchez runners tore wild

supporters screamed and whistled.

Looka here! Well trow

hard ball; Looka here! Well trow
up the ball"
Daddy remembered what he had
heard about the singular generosity of
the Natchez team in supplying the
balls for the games they played.
I'VE don't hev to paw nothin' fer
them balls. A man down at the Round
House makes them for us. They amt
no balls as good" explained Bo, with
pride. g.
However. as Bo did not appear eager
to pass over the balls for examination
Daddy simply reached out and took
them. They were small, perfectly
round and as hard as bullets. They
had no covers. The yarn had been
closely and tightly wrapped and then
stitched over with fine beeswaxed
thread. Daddy fancied he detected a
difference in the weight of the ball, but
Bo took them back before Daddy could
be sure of that point.
"iou don't have to fan about 1t. |
know ball when | see one" observed
Daddy. But we're on our own grounds
an we'll use our own ball. Thanks all
the same To you, Stranathan."
Huh! All | gotta say is we'll play
with my ball er there won't be no
game, said Bo suddenly.
Daddy shrewdly eyed the Natchez
captain. Bo did not look like fellow
wearing himself thin from generosity.
1t struck Daddy that Bo's habit of sup
plying the ball for game might have
some relation TO the fact that he al
ways carried along his own umpire.
There was strange feature about
this umpire business and it was that
