NATURAL BATS LURE FISH

LATEST Trout.
FROGS FOR ALL GAME FISH


Natural bats are those which most
anglers are accustomed 20 using. Such
bats include worms. frogs. minnows.
grasshoppers grubs, salk pork. crickets
and many kinds OF real fish food. The
most common OF all bats is the angle
worm. and Il IL used more than any
other because It can be secured so easily.
This bait can be used for all kinds OF
fish. and is accepted by large and small
alike no matter whether they are surface
or bottom feeders. Tho worms may be
used Just az they are taken from the
ground. and they are generally used in
that condition. But II they are dug a week
before washed and fed with few bread
crumbs soaked in milk. they become
toughened and make the best bait.

The same method OF batting and hooking
applies 10 all kinds of fish when minnow
bait Is used. Minnows should be carried IN
a mlnnow box and handled as little as

Small frogs make good bait for all
game fish, and may be used with a single
hook by inserting through the lips, like

Of City Of st, Louis

chased from the Browns. in to pitch. ct.
Louis is the city where they no longer
sell pop because the fans recently bonn
barded an umpire with bottles and Gu
cumbers.
Bill has been saying some mean things
about st. Louis. He is quoted thus:
'Of all the cheese towns on the map

a guy to pitch ball I'm such a placer And
the fansl Whewi The best move Hickey
ever made was when he passed me over

II Bill James should go on the rubber

cucumbers loaded with dynamite at him.

SOX OWNER DISAPPOINTED
Theory of Purchasing Sure Fire
Stars to Build Up Club Does Not
Pan Out at Chicago.
JACKSON IS a DIsTURBER

The theory of building bali club with
high priced and sure fire stars, which
President Charles A. Comiskey carried
out this year at a great expeze. is re-
ceiving a hard blow from the Chicago
more money on the hoof than any other
collection Of ball players in the country,
and yet they are proving a big disap-
pointmeRt to their owner.
Even admitting that the last OF these
stars, Joe Jackson, was secured too late
70 keep the team in the fight for the
pennant this year. that does not explain
the poor showing OF the team in the
last two weeks, during which time It has
been on the decline. despite all OF the
added strength.
The White sox are a great collection
of stars right now, but the best efforts
of Eddie Collins, Joe Jackson, Eddie
Murphy and Memo Liebold failed 70
check the slump that began before they
went east The Chicago team started by
dropping a series to Detroit. It went
east and dropped three out OF four to
Boston
The advisability Of having several stars
on one club has long been disputed by
rnanagers The objection against them
Is the same one that a stage manager
has against a collection Of prima donnas
in ono cast. Too many stars spoil the
team work. Stars and prima donnas
alike go in for individual glory first and
last
Eddie Collins Is one OF Comisley's stars
who helps IN team work. In fact. It was
as a main cog in a great machine that
he made his reputation, as much as by
his individual efforts. He always di,
rected the team work for the Athletics.
and he has been doing the same thing
for the White sox. But It Is claimed
that Joe Jackson thinks more OF his own
record than he does Of the success of the
team. They say that the only time Joe
works I'm with the others Is whom there
is some glory IN Il for Joe.
The first day jackson played with tina
White Sox. which was IN q game against
the Yankees at Chicago. he had a clash
with Eddie Collins over his failure TO
work on sacrifice play. Instead OF
laying down a bunt Jackson took three
healthy swings at the ball and struck
out. AS Collins passed him going out

Ty Cobb hunts once In a while"
President comiskey has PAID out about
$4,000 for the stars he added TO his club

The payrolls of the Federal league are
topheavy with fancy salaries given under

already slipping when they jumped. This
condition isn't pleasant, and, moreover.
IL Is costly, so the Federal owners are
proposing to amortize some Of their con-
tracts. They will try to get the consent

take half Of one years pey and give up
the contract. This doesn't look like a
really square deal. at first blush, but
quite a little is TO be said on the side of
the owners. The contracts were entered
into in good faith on the part OF the own
ers, but the players were casting a stake
into the future. Scarcely one of them
but knew he was slipping. and that he
was not able to deliver what he had sold.
Therefore, he was anxious to sign for as
long a time as possible. II he was sus-

he might be the means of inducing some

and many reaching three or four
