ELLIOT SHOULD MAKE GOOD
Million Dollars While Playing
Last Winter.

Carter Elliott looked like a million
dollars playing winter ball in Cali
fornia last winter and was recon-
mended to major league scouts, but it
was discovered he was tied up with
Seattle. Then last spring the Seattle
club sent him to Yakima and it was
concluded he would not have been let
out If he had been more than a
flash. However, in the P. /. league
this season he showed that Seattle
had made mistake, for he has hit
around 800, is one of the leagues
best base runners, and has been some
thing of sensation as a fielder. He
may not come through for the Chicago
Cubs, but he viii if there is anything

African Game Preserves

The growing scarcity of specimens
ir every department of zoology has
led to the setting apart of large game
preserves in the wilds of Africa and
putting them in the charge of experts.
There seems TO be no animal that cam
not be partly tanned If a feeding
ground and water in plenty are given
it. Attendants venture into the in

Trees Strong.

Trees and plants display wonder
full strength at times. Some of them
will lift a heavy stone which blocks
their way or even split rock, but
there is one thing which they can
not withstand and that is the strangle-
hold of another plant which encircles
them. A honeysuckle will soon kill
a tree which it takes hold of and
in the tropical forests there are many
creepers which kill the trees they
climb and save themselves by reach
ing ont &c neighboring trees.

mechanical trick on the part of div

who have watched the kingfisher at
close quarters and have noted the sud-

size as it takes the plunge This is
much more easily observed in the case

hope to do anu never
quite accomplish. But a few days
ago the ebb tide carried 9S-foot mo
tor Yacht through Ambrose channel on
a trip around the world and marked
the beginning of a dream to come true
for at least one man. His craft is the
first of its kind and size TO undertake
such a voyage, which is expected TO
last a year and n half. 1t carried the
flag of the Adventures club, writes
James c. Young in the New York
Times.
The sailing of the Speejacks, as this
modern argosy is named, was the first
step in realization of a castle built in
the air two years ago by Albert Y.
Gowen. Jr., of Cleveland, yachtsman
and big business man, who has been
visualizing soft southern skies and the
'sfeeP' of the swelling tide between
deals in the workaday world. Mrs.
Gowen Joined in the dream, and now
she is aboard the Speejacks as the
yacht travels southwark, the only
woman who ever started on a $4,000
nile trip in a craft not much larger
than many motorboats.
But the Speejacks is a miniature
ocean liner, said to be the most COM
pletely equipped vessel of its sort
which has come off the ways.
After stopping at Norfolk and Kings
ton. Jamaica, the Speejacks will cut
through the Panama canal and start
across the Pacific for the Marquesas
islands, a distance of 3,729 miles,
which alone represents a record at
tempt for a boat Of this kind. From
there the route lies via Tahiti, Society
Islands, thence to Samoa, Fiji, the New
Hebrides and New Caledonia. Mr..
Gowen plans to cruise through the
South Sea islands, many of which are
practically unknown and isolated from
anything called by the name of civ
ilizatiOn.
The party plans to spend Christmas
in Sydney, Australia, then on TO Java,
Borneo and Manila From there they
will go to China, Siam, India, Arabia,
and spend their second Christmas in
Cairo. Once more under way, the Spec
jacks will visit Turkey, Greece. France
and Spain, before turning her nose
southwark TO West Africa. Then the
long trip across the Atlantic, reaching
home again about April, 1923.
Two years ago Mr.. Gowen decided
that he needed a vacation. He had
built four yachts, and set about plan
ming a fifth which was TO be unlike
anything ever constructed, for cruise
which nobody ever had attempted. He

Making Over Paper.

The chemical processes for the rec
lamation of printed book paper have
been in use for some time, their eff
iciency is reduced by the fact that the
mechanical pulping forces the ink per-
manently into the fibers, says Popular

ten pounds of borax, ten pounds Of
soap. two gallons of kerosene and two
gallons of pine oil is used for soaking
1000 pounds of stock, with enough

process is continued for an hour or
less, with the pulp heated to from
l65 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, by live

the usual method, and the reclaimed
pulp is ready to be bleached.

COACHES FROM TOWER.

A portable tower twenty feet
high is being used by Foster
Sanford in coaching the Rutgers
football squad. 1t has four
large iron wheels and a shaft en-

erected so that he could see the

Never surrender the ball on downs"
This cardinal point of football gen.
cralship should always be borne in
mind by the quarterbacks and cap
tsins of every gridiron eleven, writes
Walter Eckersall in the Chicago Trib-
une. Although there are some ex-
ceptions to this rule, it should be
followed closely.
If team is well within an oppO-
nent's five-yard line and has only a
short distance-less than a yard-to
make or fourth down, it may be good
football TO try for a touchdown. I'm
der the same conditions, if it is neces-
sary to make two or more yards for a
first down or touchdown, other scoring
tactics should be resorted to-
An attacking team should always
remember that the closer it approaches
an opponents goal the harder it is
to make ground. This statement is
true because the secondary defense is
gradually pulled up to reinforce the
forward line. The offensive team has
practically two lines of defense to pene-
trate, and under these conditions it
takes mighty good offense with COM
plicated plays to make the required
distance of ten yards in four downs.
When a team has made decided
march towards the opponents goal,
members of that team will feel more
satisfied if scoring chance is taken
The field goal kicker should be brought
into commission or long chance taken
of completing forward pass back of
the goal line. If the ball is-lost on
downs, players on the offending team
will seldom put forth the same effort
