.G0PHERS Do A
BIG DAMAGE

Devils Lake, N. D., March 31.-That
the gophers do an annual damage to
small grain crops in Ramsey county
o fnot less than $4,000 is the estimate
of c. B. Halle who is leading a cam
paign looking toward the extermina~
ton of the pest. While various locali-
ties of the county have designated a
gopher day" and offered special
prizes for the person bringing in the
greatest number of gopher tails, the
present move is for the county COM
missioners to offer a reward of one
cent for gopher tails, with a special in
ducement during April and May of
two cents a tail.
Last spring State SenatN' F. H. Hy-
land lead in a crusade against gophers
A total of 3,276 were sent to gopher
heaven by the senator who maintain
ed a daily tabulation of his extermi-
nation work.
1t is argued that with spring shoot
ing at everything else but telegraph
poles prohibited, that sportsmen Who
like to get out into the open in the
spring will be rewarded with suffic-
lent to pay for their %ammupition at the
same time doing work which means
considerable to the farmers.
Hundreds of dollars will be spent
this spring in the purchase of gopher
poison in the battle against the pest
which appears to be increasing every
season.

First,therefore, don't get into the

A man can live a perfectly sound

Sex troubles do not originate in the

Tommy Leach may join the Cincin-
natl club. The diminutive outfielder
was in conference with Barney Drey-
fuss in Pittsburgh yesterday. and he
virtually admitted that he had been
persuaded by the Pittsburgh magnate
to accept the Cincinnati proposition
The Feds, too. want Leach, but it seems
that he will prefer the Cincinnati job.
The International League will cut
salaries the coming season. 1t may
have a hard time getting its players
in line, but if it does not retrench in
this respect it cannot open its gates,
so that the players when they realize
conditions may be willing to accept
the cut without much murmuring. The
league will be made up of eight cities,
and it is hoped that the Jersey City
club can be placed in the Bronx. The
transfer of the Baltimore club to Rich
mond it is believed will prove ten
strike. The Virginia town has always
been profitable base ball point, and
with d higher grade of base ball is

One rule of base ball that had never
before been applied became operative
for the first time in the case OF Tommy
Leach. Saturday, when he drew his
club had asked for waivers on the
veteran, in common with several other
players. No National League club
claimed him. Had any done so, 1t
would have made no difference, as
Leach must have been made his own
boss under the rule referred to.
one year ago. among the demands of
the Players Fraternity that were grant
ed by the commission was one that
provides that a player who served ten
years in the majors-any part of the
season counting as q full year-may
demand his unconditional release if all
clubs of his league waive on him. And
last week the National League passed
another rule by which club when
asks waivers may not withdraw them.

draw them.
The report was current that Johnny
Evers health was in such doubtful
state that there was some question as
to whether he would be able to play
with the Braves the coming season.
This. however. is denied by Evers and
his friends.
Evers is camping out some sixteen
miles away from his home in Troy and
he is being greatly benefited by his
experience. Some one visited him the
other day and drew from him the fol-
lowing statement:

Johnny. as he reiterated the question.
My contract with the Boston club has
four years to run. and ! will be play
ing ball even after that. The way I
feel right now l can Sak that 1915 will
be the greatest season that have ever
had. And listen, you can say for me
the Braves like the taste of pennant
steak so much that they're going after
some more. and expect to hang it in
their wiSwam again next autumn.
I feel stronger right now than I
have ever felt. This outdoor life is the

Again Cheer Connie.
But Connie had delivered his pathetic
message, again the subdued audience
cheered "the man that has more base
ball incased in his cerebrum than any
other living person" Gn the words of
POSTMASTER George Graham). They
cheered, not the announcement, but the
man who had the stamina and the
nerve to make it known at such a
time
J. Frank Baker was born in Trappe,
Nd, March 13, 1886. He is six feet
tall and weighs 175 pounds. His first
professional engagement was with
Reading. Pa. Tri-State League team in
1908, and his work there soon attracted
the attention of Connie Mack. Mack
decided that Baker would be an acqui-
sition to his club and procured him in
the fall of 1908. His batting average
in 1914 was .307, and he fielded 92O
Baker has improved wonderfully in
his fielding, and his batting prowess
needs no eulogy. He bats left-handed
and throws right-handed.
AT present there is one man in the
Athletic camp who will be able to hold
down third corner and that young man
is Bill Kopf. This youth has already
demonstrated that he is no ordinary
fielder and is a heavy hitter. He has
proven that he is dependable, and
while 1t is true that he is not the
fence-breaker of his renowned pred
ecessor. Baker, he is a polished fielder.
Connie will not have to look far to
find a player to take care of the third
cushion.

1t is hard to believe that Baker. who
is still in his prime and in position
to demand enormous pay. should want
to quit the sport. But stranger things
have happened.
With Lajoie in Collins place and -e
rest Of the wonderful infield intact
there was hope for the Athletics to
cut a figure in the race again. Lajoie,
while not as agile as Collins, is pretty
sure to fill his shoes in an offensive
way, so that Collins would not have
been badly missed. But there Is no one
who can take Bakers place. This won
derful batter is not easily replaced. In
fact, it is questionable whether the
game has ever had player whose hit
ting has been as sensational as that OIL
the Athletics third baseman.
The weakening of the Mackmen by
reason of the loss Of Collins and Ba-
ker not to speak of the dropping OF
Bender and Plank, ought to improve
the Nationals chances in the coming G

tenders in the pennant struggles seems

Judged from the tone of Connie
Mack's announcement of the retire

not have much hope of inducing his
star player to change his mind.

BALTIMORE, Nd. February
H-Whfle there has been no
definite announcement here from
Frank Baker that he would per-
manently retire from the dia-
mands, his friends stateA that he

about his health and was con-

diamond were over.
Mack was unwilling to lose his
drawing card for the world
