HIGH PRICES FOR
COYOTE PELTS

If the ranchers and sheep growers
had their wish there would be no
coyote in North America. The
ranchers and sheep growers think
that the only thing coyotes were
made for is to kill cattle and sheep
This is a wrong impression. The
coyote must have some other calling
in life or the good book missed fire"
when it said Nothing was made
in vain" MY opinion of it," says
Mr. A. B., Shubert, president of A. B.
largest house in the world dealing
exclusively in American Raw Furs,
"Is that the coyote is here to give up
the ghost and surrender his pelt to
the furrier who by the way, makes
good use of the good coyote pelt, but
has little use for the poor ones. The
better grades of coyote are being
dressed and dried and used in imi-
tation Fox, and on account Of the
great popularity of the animal scarf,
Coyotes are in strong demand and
bringing higher prices than ever be-
fore The Coyote Is the only fur
bearer that can be used in imitation
Of fox"
The European war created an out
let for the poorer grades of coyote
and they are being used for coat
Innings for the man behind the gun
and in the trench. The skin is large
and requires but little work-it ans
wers the purpose.
Seventy five percent Of the best
grades Of the collection of the Coy
ote of the northwest are used in
America. Our manufacturers know
better how to use them and our
dyers dye them better than the
Europeans We make better and
more attractive articles out of coy
ote than are produced anywhere. A
soft, silky coyote, dressed and dyed,
and made into an animal scarf can
hardly be distinguished from fox,
except by an expert, so trappers
should get after the coyote and trap
as many as they can, as the pres
ent high price for this article will
pay them well for their time and
efforts

A pitcher who has been in the major
leagues for thirteen years, who is still
able to hold his own, and who declines
the use Of his name for reasons most
obvious, declares that the four great
est ball players Of the last five years
new ones, I mean-are Davy Robert
son, George Sisler, Benny Kauff and
Rogers Hornsby
Benny Kauff Is a much better ball
League appear to believe" he said, and
when say that don't mind telling you
that I was prejudiced against him at
the start. He is corking ball player
and he'll be better next year than this. "
Swings at Bad Balls.
"Why not this time?"
Simply because he's too anxious to
make good. Next year he will settle
down and pick out only the best the
pitchers have to offer. Already he is a
great baserunner and all he needs to hit
as we'll as any of them is patience.
1.-THE pitchers are next to Kauff and
every man in the league knows that all
he's got to do is pitch bad balls to Ben
ny and he will fall for them. He will
hit at anything. He has short arms and
is a hard swinger. For that reason we
pitch them over his head, far to the
outside and on the ground. He will
swing at any Of them. Occasionally he
nails one but he is lucky to be hitting
over .27O. Next year, when he settles
down, he should pass the 300 mark
without trouble"
"But as to Robertson?"
"Well, I'll tell you," said the old timer
Robertson The Real Star.
"Davy Robertson is one Of the great
est ball players that ever lived. He
also swings wildly but, remember, Rob
ertson has long arms and can reach bad
balls that Kauff cannot touch. He is a
vicious swinger and once he gets hold
Of one it's good night He also has
the advantage of beating out fluke
bounders.
'Davy, you know, is the fastest man
in the world taking first base. Cobb or
anybody else is not in his class The
pitchers know just one thing about
Robertson, and that is not to pitch to
him inside. Get ball on the inside OF
the plate and he'll murder it. Keep
them high and outside and the pitcher
has a chance He is also a little uncer-
tain on low ones outside. 1t is not easy
to compare Robertson with any other
player, because his speed puts him in
class by himself"
"Hornsby," said the vet. II consider
the greatest find Of the last ten years.
He can hit anything, but when pitcher
tries to feed him what he doesn't want
The Arizona copper camp., 1916-11-10

he'll curl up and wait Hornsby is a
much better waiter than either Kauff or
Robertson. He is as cold as ice
Simply CANT Hep It."
81 know that young fellow well and
we often have lot Of fun out Of him.
He comes from Fort Worth, Tex, and
has an accent that is bird
"'You can certainly hit that old pill,
said one Of the boys to him the other
day after he had made four straight
singles
ct know, he said, but simplay
CANT hep it
"And that't a pretty good tip-off on
his ability as walloper"
"Sisler is of immense value because
he can play, in any position, but he is
not better in any one of those positions
than either of the players I have men
toned. He has a great advantage over
the other fellows at bat because he has
been in the league longer and Is willing
to wait.
Can You Guess Him.
american League pitchers tell me
that Sisler will never go after bad
ball. A pitcher must get the ball over
and trust to luck. regard Sisler as
one of the greatest all-around players
that ever broke into the big league
While this veteran pitcher would not
permit the use Of his name in criticism
of other players, it can be said that he
has pitched regularly in the major
league since 1903, has been in. worlds
series, has played on two or three clubs,
and, aside from Eddie Plank, is perhaps
the only pitcher who has worked stead
lily for thirteen years.
He has seen them all come and go,
and when he declares Kauff, Robertson
Hornsby and Sisler to be the best 1t is
almost a good betting proposition.
We will also give you one guess as
to his name. Don't take two!

BRU|N PATROLS
CAMP Of RAY

There was a bear abroad in Ray
Sunday night. Not Teddy bear.
No Sir This was a real live brown
bear from the White mountain
of Arizona. 1t happened thusly. The
great Commercial Shows, one Of the
cieanest carnival shows ever in Ray
have been showing on the vacant
lots opposite the court house Bruin
was an inhabitant of the menagerie.
Some time Sunday night he managed
to get loose and made for the place
that looked most like his home in the
White mountains, Hercules Hill.
Citizens hearing something on the
porches would go to the door, be
confronted with. a big shaggy visitor
and Immediately Bruin would have
the porch to himself. However he
bothered nothing in his wanderings,
until he met Nose.
Now Nose be it known, is the
camps bootblack and handy man.
He tells it this way, Il wuz a goin'

The bear came on back to the Car
nival grounds and when employees
awoke he was waiting to be locked
| up again.
