Enforcement of the state dog law
by the State Police, which is being
vigorously carried out, is expected to
have an important effect with regard
to the sheep-breeding industry of the
state One objection to raising sheep
In this state has been the fact that
many valuable sheep were killed by
stray dogs. BY getting rid Of these

much as the sheep not only produce
meat and wool but are also a factor
in improving the fertility of the soil,
the fostering of this branch of agri.
culture Is an excellent thing for Mich.

Owing to the fact that they have no
local affiliations to hamper their work,
the State Police are particularly ef.

BIG GAMBLERS
tlipPED I'M RAID
STATE POLICE CLOSE MACXiMAC
ISLAND MONTE CARLO AND
ARREST OPERATORS.
FASHIONABLE PATRONS FLEE

While the State Police have been
busy In closing up and prosecuting
professional gamblers II all parts of
tho state, the most notable raid made
this year was that on the Casino oper-
ated IN connection with the Grand
Hotel at Mackinac Island. This was
run to catch the play of the Weather
visitors to this beautiful summer re-
sort. and a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS crowd
was In the Casino when it was raided
by force headed by Capt. A. A.
Downing recently.
Last year the State Police raidcd
the Grand Hotel and took away a
number OF roulette wheels and other
gambling devices but the temptation
to get the easy money of the island
visitors was SO great that the gamb
lers opened up again this year. Hand
some furnishings and well-trained
servants were provided to attract
players. In addition. means were en-
as II they might gamble IN on the
fact that they could have the oppor-
tunity to try their luck at these games
OF chance.
When Major Marsh of the State
Police learned that gambling had been
resumed again at Mackinac Island, he
sent Corporal Harold Mulbar to in
vestigate and report. The latter
brought back information which led
to the raid
The party which closed the gamb
ling place consisted Of Captain A. A.
Downing, Corporal Black and Troop
ers Liljegren and Kutter, in addition
to Corporal Mulbar. They entered
the ballroom Of the hotel in civilian
clothing and followed the dancers
from the ballroom to the Casino
There was q hush when Captain
Downing announced that he had come
to close the place, seize the apparatus
and arrest the gamblers. Some wo-
men screamed and others wept. How
ever the troopers did not attempt to
arrest the patrons but did take into
custody Logan Ballard. proprietor,
G. ]. Holden, manager and Harry
Howard and Albert Jackson, EN-.
ployes.
Ballard was also charged with serv.
ing liquor. He will be tried in Fed
eral court at Sault Ste. Marie for
this offense. The gamblers were
fined 800 apiece by Justice of the
peace.
The gambling apparatus seized Ia
valued at thousands Of dollars.

satisfy our curiosity we performed an
autopsy on several old balls. In a
way it was a bit of surprise to find
the construction of the ball in no way
differed from the ball that had been
in use for several years. While the
construction in no way differed, there
was no doubt in my mind but that
there was a considerable difference in
the quality of the material used In the
making of the ball. Particularly was
this true of the yarn. The leather in
the cover also appeared to be of a much
improved grade.
While the construction of the ball
in no way differed from the ball that
had been in use, yet there was to my
way of thinking vast Improvement
in the quality of the ball, which. of
course, worked for a better and live
lier ball. During the seasons of 1916,
1917 and 1918 it was not an uncom-
mon thing for me to throw out as
many as a dozen balls during the game.
Usually loss of shape was the main
reason for rejecting the ball. One good
wallop would usually make the round
sphere very much egg shaped. AS a
matter of fact 1 have been forced to
throw out many new ball that was
hit hard only once, because of a fiat
side l don't believe l threw out a
dozen all last year for that reason.
the American League last year was
any the less efficient. Neither do
believe there was any marked increase
in the work of the batters. Rather l
give the credit for the many home runs
to a much better base ball, made pos
sible by the removal of wartime con-
ditions.

"The American League records snow
that over 200 home runs were made
in the Johnsonian circuit last year.
How do you account for 1t? Does II
mean that there was a let down in the
pitching? Does it mean that a great
many of the batters have materially
improved their game? Is it true that
both major leagues used much ilVe-

there are thousands of fans just as

That is the substance of letter

of the lot. but every now and then
some batter never noted as slugger

My first thought was that perhaps
they were making the ball bit live
