In PAUL PURMAN

One of the first ballplayers Of ma
tional reputation to join the colors
was Eddie Grant, infielder, formerly
with the Giants, Cincinnati Reds and
Phillies, who has been accepted for the
officers reserve corps at Plattsburg.
Grant gave up baseball at the close
of the 1915 season to begin practtc-
ing law in New York.
II Grants action is any criterion
ballplayers as a general rule will not
be found to be slackers in the great
war. Although he had quit baseball,
Grant had as much at stake as many
active players. He had been practic'
ing law Just long enough to build up
a practice which is sure to be lost
while he Is at the front.
Although Grant was in the National
league for half a dozen years and took
part in the last world series between

The scarcity of the natural lacquer

Rhus vernlclfera, has brought to no.

the Burmese from the black varnish

ers who will join the colors, still it
is hardly likely that team of last
years callbre can be turned out.
Although it is the intention now
to have a team again next fall, West
Virginia will probably follow the decis'
ion of the majority of the college
teams of the country in regard to con-
tinuing schedules next fall. In New
York next Saturday there will be a
meeting at which this mater will be
thrashed out.

Eddie Grant as a soldier and as he
looked when with the Giants.
the Giants and Athletics, he could
never be classed as great ball play
er,
For three years he played third base
at Philadelphia and was sent to Gin
clnnati, where he was used as a utility
inflelder until tarded to New York in
1918.
He was with the Giants in 1913, 1914
and 1915 as utility infielder and was
often used as a pinch hitter or sub
stitute runner.
His best year in baseball was 1914,
when he batted .277 in SS games and
was one Of the best fielding third
basemen in the league.

fields communication to congress
shows that serious thought has been
given to the idea.
1t is also possible that with the great
weight in congress attached to the
magic word farmer" the members
will give the fish commission a new
building with more alacrity. The free
seed legislation always meets unani-
nous approval. Perhaps in some fu.
ture congress along with the packages
of turnip seed and corn there will be
sent out under congressional franks
letters something like this:
"My Esteemed Constituents am
sending you under separate cover a
choice collection of fish eggs, including
the roe Of the shad, the perch, the dace
the club and the dogfish. Plant these
in your fish ponds, where l hope they
will grow to be large and luscious
fishes"
Secretary Redtield has been consist
ent booster for the bureau Of fisheries
since he took office in the department of
commerce, and under his administra-
ton the country has received several
valuable suggestions as to the edibility
of fish little known hitherto. On the
subject of fish for farms he says to con-
gress:
Nothing has been done toward the
improvement Of the races Of fishes in
respect to size, vigor, rapidly of growth
and edible qualities. 1t is certain that
the culture of fish in ponds on farms
will assume importance within the next
few years, and the farmer should have
at his command the best brood stock
obtainable and information in regard to
its handling and improvement at least
equal in reliability to that which he
can obtain respecting poultry"

tors solved the problem by construct

featuring plants. each unit of eacn

taken down without delay. While ths
