clubber. StaIlings is here with the
Braves today and he will make des-
perate effort to land the slugger. He
believes that a batter of Zim's worth
would make his club a pennant win
ner without serious opposition.
Ebbetts and Robinson of the Dodg-
ers are also negotiating and Manager
McGraw of the Giants has made new
offers. No outsider knows what
players are involved, and what you
see is merely guesswork, with any
body having a guessing license. D..
A yarn to the effect that Miller
Higgins of the Cardinals is willing
to trade. Roger Hornsby even up for
Zim is going the rounds, but it
sounds fishy. Hornsby is a young
ster of great ability, the finest pros
pect who has broken into the. old
league this season. He is a natural
batter Of the smuggling type, is hitting
above 300, his fielding is good and
all reports are that he is amenable to
discipline. Such a trade would be all
in favor of the locals and Miller Hug
gins has never been noted as a poor
snapper.
Fletcher is one Giant mentioned in
a proposed swap. He won't do. He
has always been cratic and isn't as
good as he once was. If a player
like Bonnie Kauff was thrown in,
that would be something else again.
Neither Stallings nor Robinson has
offered anything that sounds reason
able.
Even though. Zim has outIived his
usefulness here he is worth more
than a bat, bag. Something worth
while should be secured for him.

handed down in New York, and Scott
was ordered home to get in condition
at his own expense. When right his
name will be put back on the payroll.
Poor umpiring is partially blamed
for the SOx defeat in New York in
the final game of the season, but
without bone plays and mechanical
slips there would have been no need
for an alibi. Jack Lapp pulled the
daily bit of cheesy baserunning, and
Buck Weaver took a bounder with
men on first and second, tried to
run the man on second back to that
base, got him nearly there, then
threw to Eddie Collins, the man who
was on second then passing Buck
and reaching third, though the fell
low on first was forced. The man
who had been on second scored.
Buck had a chance to complete an
easy double play if he had not
thought well of himself as a foot
racer. Then Jack Fourier missed
a perfect throw in the eighth inning
for what should have been the third
out, two runs counted, tieing the
score, and the winning run was put
on base.
The kick against the umpire was
on a called ball which the Sox insist
ed was a third strike.
Anyhow, the Sox are now five and
a half games behind Boston, and
only half a combat ahead of the
Yanks. Unless some of this handi-
cap is overcome before the team gets
home, pennant hopes are about over.

Rainfall in Hawaii,

The rainfall on the island of Hawaii
varies greatly, ranging from the enor-
nous downpour of 1853 inches year
in the upper Walpio valley to 20 inches
year on the northeast coast between
Hilo and Kohala. The Walpie surface
streams on the island are found along
the northeast coast between Hilo and
Kohala. The only river, according to
the United States geological survey,
is the largest stream on the island,
and has been party developed for irri-
cation. At Kapoho, on the east point
of the island. warm water flows from
seams in the rocks. These warm
springs" flow into a pool about 100
feet long, % feet wide and 20 feet
deep. The pool is entirely surrounded
by rocks and its color varies in shade
from a beautiful blue to violet. Wala-
pele, or Green lake, is body of fresh
water in the pit of an old crater near
Kapoho. This lake covers an area of
about five acres and is fed by springs
below the surface. A pumping plant
takes water from this lake for domes-
tic use and for irrigation.
