Professional Enemies Of Crocodile

There are men whose business it is
to catch crocodiles and who earn their
living by that means. And whenever
a human being has fallen a victim
professional crocodile catcher is asked
to help to destroy the murderer, and a
large reward offered him. The ma
jority of natives will not interfere with
the reptiles, or take any part in their
capture, probably fearing if they do
anything of the kind they themselves
may some time or other suffer for it
by being attacked by crocodile.

Some years ago, in a certain flag
ship, the commander had occasion to
find fault with the admlrals cook,
and awarded him three days of the
punishment known Mt that period as
Ten'A. The admiral heard of the af-
fair, and sent for the commander on
the quarterback. "What do you mean
by it2" stormed the incensed admiral.
"Please to understand that can get a

High Price Paid for BeefsteaK.

The highest price ever paid for
beefsteak was probably at Circle City,
Alaska, town that sprang up over
night during the Klondlke gold excite
ment. The first beefsteak to reach
there sold for $4S pound. Every one
wanted some of it, and so they raf-
fled it off for the benefit of hospital.
Tickets were sold from so cents to
$3.50 for the privilege of drawing q
slice.

The figures of which the leaves If

known in England as the poor mans

only when the weather is fair.

MErench LeaXe.U

This expression arose in the early
part of the eighteenth century, through
certain guests, in the salons of France,
not aware Of the higher acts Of cour-

to the host or hostess. The practice
spread to society in this country.
Therefore, IL man left without say

Charles H. Ebbets is murmuring T told you so'' these days-and nobody is taking exception. For Charlie, although laughted at few years ago when he said that baseball is just in it's in fancy seems to have called the turn.
 It was about that time that the sport i've world was stunned by offers of s15,- coo and s2o,000 for diamond talent. The folks thought that the magnates had gone bit wild. And it was just about then that gasps came when sums in the neighborhood of s5oo,OoO and s75o,ooo were asked for franchises in the larger towns of the circuits
 At that moment Ebbets stepped for ward and said:
 What is happening today isn't a marker for what's to come in a few years. It won't be considered at all out Of the ordinary for clubs to pay s1O0. .O0g to sb0,o0o for really good ball players And the time will come when team in big town will be worth s2,0oo. 900 and maybe lot more, according to the ability of the players who are in the lineup
 Ebbets said something further too:
 It'll cost far beyond 5000 to oper. ate ball clubs in a few years-maybf S200,0oO or more And the men who are paying out s75,o00 to s10o,000 yearly now and grooming about it-wont think any. thing about it.'
 Not many years passed before Ebbets remarks came true. The first big dea

1, sasptu-Out the end hasn cO.he- or
 now the Giants are offering S2oo,ooo for Rogers Hornsby.
 Where will they stop?
 Ball clubs prices have leaped aecord- ingly. Fifteen years ago the cubs soic for $1O5, ,000-half of what the Giants now offer for single player. Ten years ago they were worth about s5J900O some
 years afterward they were disposed ot for sum close to S1.oOo0oO. The Red Sox were sold to Harry Frazee for more than sl0O0,e0o although Jim Lannin bought them for less than S00,00J about four years earlier.
 Just what the Giants would bring on the market today is d question. Certain ly not as much as @ year or two ago when the club was in the thickest of pennant battling. But they'd produce close to S2,00o,000 in cash right now, ac- cording to conservative estimates And the Tanks, homeless though they. are. but possessed of Babe Ruth, perhaps would market for beyond $l,0Oo,0A. Ebbets was right. Baseball, figured as a vast commercial enterprise a few years ago and regarded as having reached near
 to the top as far as money was involved,
 truly was in it's infancy

Crackers off their exalted perch in third place, honors for which the Barons are tied with the Frankmen A double victory this afternoon would not only give the Barons undisputed possession of third place. but would also place them wtih.4 striking distance of the Pels in second place.
 Lefty M"eker," who piched the
 one inning against theCrackers
 yesterday, will most likely be

 Tom Ga,Aagher will probably Op-
 pose Boone in the second game.

JOE DOES WELL IN
 THE OUTFIELD

Joe Coffindaffer has been used in leftfield regularly since the exit by the injury route of MT. Al Ellis. Joe has been causing much comment from dopesters, his stellar work in the out field causing many to suggest that he could hold down regular outer gar den berth in the Southern League. It's true that Coffy has been playing mighty good game in the sun field His stick work has been feature. while his fielding is easily up to stand ard. Joe's outfield ability makes tenn porarily the loss of Al Ellis seem some- what lighter.

BARNHART HITTING
 IN OLD FORM NOW

A fact which has been made prominent during the past few games is that Clyde Barnhart, nifty hot corner artist of the f3arons, has successfully survived his batting slump and is well on the rOad to the to. Barney has been whaling them out consistently lately. In the Last games of the Barons, the double header against Mobile, he hit four times out of seven times up. These safeties included an assort- ment of extra basers, too.
 Al Ellis is coming along nicely, but is still unable to get in the game. His charlie horse" is becoming manage able and under control. and Al should be able to get in the game before long. Cliff Wheatley. Atlanta Constitution scribe, is in town to see the Cracker Baron series. Well, we'll make no pre- diction about the Barons winning a double header. We'll let Friend Cliff see for himself.

following his remarks was one which involved an outlay of nearly s50,oO0 when Iris Speaker was traded to the Indians. Prior to that Eddie Collins had gone to the White Sox for a sum close to that mark. Frank Baker brought $37 800 when he was sold to the Tanks. Joe Jackson cost the White Sox far over s30000.
