IN the last two Brooklyn games,
both against Ieft-handers, Leslie
Mann, Frank SchUlte's collaboration
in the Cub left fielding, has gone to
bat seven times. His record in these
endeavOrs reads, five singles, one
double and a pass, an average of
plain 1000. Not one of the bingles
has been flukey. All have travelled
on a line and have carried a sting.
Mann is starting late, but he is hit
ting at somewhere near the speed he
is bound to show against sOuthpaw
beavers. Against the regular pitch
eTs he is not a rafting swatter, but
the sOUthpaws hold no terror for
him. When Stallings won the n. L.
pennant two years ago Mann was
the boy used in center field against
the pOrtsiders.
This healthy clubbing of Mann
adds great strength to the Cub at
tack. Schultz is operating solely
against the right-handers, and his
average is above 800. With Mann
in against the sOuthpaws the attack
ing strength of left field is not low,
cred and in defense Mann is as good
as Schultz. The combination should
produce many more runs.
Joe Tinker is getting a bad deal
from the pitchers he is starting. It
takes the second inning for Joe to
land a regular pitcher. Thursday
Pierce failed and SeatOn picked up
the burden to pitch a pippin of a
game. Yesterday Hendrix was hit
for two doubles and a triple in the
first inning, then Jim Vaughn picked
up the job and pitched stoutly to the
end.
If Joe can twist things in such a
way that these second pitchers can
be started first, things may be some
thing else again.

IN MS nome town Hank. O'Day was
severely PANIED for his umpiring
yesterday. At the conclusion Of the
game a bug scored Hank in no IN
certain terms. Hanks turtle head
pivOted on his stopped shoulders and
he singled out his detractor.
Hank>Was ready with burning re-
tort. With his best West Madison
street accent, he made answer:
You're a big piece of cheese, you
are" This startling bit of original
witticism effectuaIly sqUelched the
bug, who was aghast at Hanks apt
ness at repartee.
Anyhow, it was better than any,
thing Dummy Hoy ever said.
Add people that White Sox batters
can't hit-Righthanders.
Here we have been Iaboring along
all the time under the delusiOn that
the, Sox were helpless against south
paws. Recent events have confirmed
that belief, but the fact that the Hose
are helpless against the fellows who
throw with the correct arm is a cruel
and inhUman blow.
Right-handers have faced the Sox
in both games at Philadelphia and
both have been made Mackian vic
tories. In 20 innings of Intellectual
endeavOr the SOX have amassed the.
gorgeous total of II hits and single
run.
However, Jack Ness will be among
those present today, and if Jack for
gets he is a member of the White SOx
and still IabOrs under the impression
that he is first-basing for Butler
Brothers, he may do bit of hitting.
Jack is sure of an imemdiate job.
No matter how he goes, he cannot be
worse than what we have seen lately.
Of the II Sox hits in Philadelphia,
Jackson and Ed Collins together
have made six, each getting three.

altogether, about 200 animals, including
foxes and others, and all that is needed to
care for them is two men.
The Alaskan owners became interested in
fox farming by visit from some of the farm
ers of Prince Edward Island These men
came here to buy live foxes from the In
dams and trappers. They purchased
number, and after they left it was currently
reported that they had made $4,000 out of
their sales. Joseph Stirling, one of the
owners of the farm, then went east to look
into fox farming. He arrived there in 1914
and learned of the profits of the industry and
its possibilities. He thought it ridiculous
that the farmers of Alaska should not be
able to do as we'll as those of Canada. espe-
cially as this country has better foxes and
makes better fur. When he came back he
aided in organizing the company.
The Fairbanks fox farm is making scien-
tific study of the rearing of fur-bearing ami
mails. 1t keeps records of the results of
breeding. The animals will be pedgreed
and registered, and all crosses will be care
fully reported. The effect of different kinds
of food on the fur will be noted and the lite
history of each pair of foxes carefully kept.
The company keeps cost-accounting sheer,

situated in the Tanana valley, mile and
half from Fairbanks. 1t consists'Qf 10 acres
of cleared land, the greater part of which is
covered with pens in which these little ann
mails live move and have their being. Look
ing at it from distance, the fox farm has
the appearance of a great chicken yard with
walls of woven wire and hen coops of var

feet high.
The wire is much like chicken wire, but it
is made of tough steel, and it extends as
