STRONGHOLD OF THE BEAVER
Largest Colony In Existence Making a
Last Stand In Fastnesses OF
Southern Rockies.

Far up in the Businesses Of the
southern Rockies, hidden In one Of the
most inaccessible hooks that remain
In this country today, what is prOha-
bly, the largest existing colony Of beav-
er, has established itself for last
stand.
The beaver was once one Of the most
abundant Of our American animals, hut
the ease with which he was trapped
and the value Of his fur soon drove
him far on the road to extinction. Soon
only the most stringent of protective
legislation was able to save him, but
now he seems TO be coming back"
and wherever he finds a favorable To-
cation he Increases rapidly.
There is no better place in the world
to study the interesting habits of this
little animal than in that little hidden
mountain valley Just south Of the Col
Orado line which the MexlcanS have
chriStened "LagunitaS' and the Ameri-
cans call Beaver Lakes" The valley
nestles against the very backbone OF
the continental divide, 10000 feet
above sea level, and from every side
1t is apprOachable only Y long and
tOilsOme forest travel, except I'm win
ter, when It is not apprOachable at all.
The hollow in the mountains crest Is
dotted with irregular rows and minla-
ture ranges of hills, two and three
hundred feet high, that make up a
most bewildering topography.
In among these hills the beaver have
built them city. The landscape Is
ideal for the building of their dams.
and by throwing barriers of stick and
mud from hillside to hillside they have
created a dozen big lakes, some of
them half mile long. Along the
shores of these lakes are built the
beavers lodges There are probably
thousand beaver in this community,
reigning in undisputed supremacy over
their mountain domain. They are shy
brutes, but very early in the morning
and just at sunset you can often sur
prise them cutting the quaking aspen
on the bank with their Chisel teeth or
plastering away industriously at one
Of their elaborate dams.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

The game was played beneath leaden
skies that threatened at any minute to
let loose a downpour. and in A high
wind that made it somewhat uncom-
Portable for the spectators. Barely 100
people were in the grand stand with per-
haps a score on the bleachers. The
second game of the series will be played
this afternoon at $50 O'Clock.
Young Crane. the shortstop Of whom
the Washington fans are expecting great
things, failed to g't chance this aft
crnoon owing to the inability of the
Orioles to connect with the slants OF
Gallia and F1aherty.
Gallia's pitching stood head and
shoulders above any other feature Of
the game. He was never In danger and
in the pinches the Oriole batters in
variably encountered empty air with
their sticks.
Menosky spiked himself in the knee
during the eighth inning and was forceo
to retire in favor of Humphries. He ex-
poets to be back in the lineup by Mon
day.
Gharrity's pegCing to the bases caused
the Orioles to hug the bags after the
Senator'S backstop caught one of them
mapping at the initial sack.

SAM rice IS SHIFTED
TO FIRST BY GRIFFITH
Washinston's Leading Hitter Shows
Well on Initial Sack.
BY John A. DuRan.


Birmingham. Ala. March A-The
Central Georgia pulled into the city forty
minutes late today, but the Old Fox
hustled out his young athletes to Rick
wood Park and put In a long session of
batting and fielding practice before the
game with the Southern Leager's. Griff
played the real Fox today when he an
nounced shortly before the game, an i'm
portant shift in his lineup. The Old
Fox shifted Sammy Rice, the leading
hitter of the club last season, to the
initial sack and hustled Howard Shanks
to the outfeld. Shanks has been play
ing the bag in pretty good style during
the interclub games in Augusta, but the
Old Fox believed that Rice has the max
ings Of a first sacker and claimed that
he made the hasty shift In order to give
him the once over.
Rice handled himself in great shape
In the contest today and it would not
be at all surprising to see the Old Fox
keep him at the first base Job until after
the club has returned to Washington
Shanks is needed in the games as his
batting is a big factor and II the Old
Fox can obtain better fielding at the
initial sack with Rice on the job, the
new move will be the best made to
date.
Georgie Du Mont, the Minneapolis
against the Memphis club tomorrow,
while Mollie Craft. the Virginia
Lacquer, will finish out the game
should the association right-hander
blow. Lefty Thomas. Walter Johnson
and Charlie Jameson will divide the
honors in the first game against the
Christy Matthewson's Cincinnati Ma
tional Leaguers in Memphis on Sum
day, while Shaw and Craft will do the
honors against Nashville team on
Monday.
Walter Johnson is still suffering
from a heavy cold in his right eye,
but Trainer Martin is doctoring this
blind optic and claims that he will
have the smoke ball kings lamps in
tip top shape within the next day or
so. Although Harry Harper. the Hack
ensack southpaw. is making the trip
with the first team, there is little
chance of him breaking into a game
as the Old Fox insists that he give his
valuable south wing a complete rest
before once ascending the mound. The
squad tonight was the guest of Pres
ident R. H. Baugh. of the Southern
League. at a theater party at the
Lyric tonight.
Nick Altrock let his comedies out
today for the first time and the vet
eran southpaw can have anything he
wants in Birmingham tonight Nick
pulled his famous knockout stunt,
along with a golf game and imita-
tions of these Southern Lacquer play
ers, which made the real hit of the
day with these Southern fans.

his wildness these Southern Leaguers

one safe blow of the scratchy variety
was obtained by Wener, who was the
first batter to face the Smoke. Lefty
