TREKKING SOUTH
 ID PORT ST. JOE

Port St Joe. Fla. November 1S.-- The call of the open road and the spell of the great out of doors has started the vanguard of automobile tourists on the annual pilgrimage to Florida
 Dotting the highways of the state from the Gulf coast to the Atlantic, hundreds of machines loaded to the gunwales with, domestic possessions of every conceivable variety are trekking their way southward, leav- ing their trail on the shell roads by day and their camp fires illuminating the highways by night.
 It was not so vary long ago that some adventurous spirit discovered that the old family fliyyer could be oiled up. the wife and six kids loaded in. together with the family cat, and the run made down to Florida at about half the ordinary cost of such an enterprise. Now the roads that wind down the coast are alive with short notice tourists who have an swered the call of the God of Wan derlust.
 Whether. the trlpper be of the hardy type of pleasure-seeker who craves to rough it." or the comfort loving individual who prefers to pu' up overnight at comfortable hotel or inn, the roads are filled Just the same.
 The favorite route of tbe auto tourists Is the famous National North and South Decline highway. extend ing from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, with Apalachicola as the south ern terminus. This highway tra- verses portion of the historic Spanish trail. passing through Port St. Joe, and the picturesque Dead Lakes region. noted for scenery and fishing.
 For stretch of Is miles, after leaving Port St. Joe. the tourist drives along the Gulf beach. Be cause this section is the largest oyster producing section of Florida. shell roads are particularly numer- ous. stretching for miles along the coast and penetrating the inland.
 Delving into the history of Flor . ida is one of the popular pastimes of tourists, who have a bit of sentiment in their makeup. The spell of TO- nance Is in the atmosphere, and the rarely mild climate combined, gives the region a strange combination or Dixie, the South Sea Islands, and the Riveria. One may wander through the ruins of forgotten cities that flourished when pirates sailed the Spanish Main, or may obtain all the fascinating pleasures of a mod ern seaside resort.
 It is sheer thirst for out of door recreation that brings by far the ma jority of the tourists to Florida. The trip is usually combined with spell of deep sea fishing, with an ocea- sIonal sertie after big game. Within the space of a few minutes sports men may cast their fly In the waters of the Gulf, or they may penetrate the semi tropical streams of the in land, where fresh water fishing or the finest Is available. Picturesque St Joseph's Bay has been found by auto tourists to be feeding ground for tarpon sheepshead, maekerel, salt water trout, and red fish.

Nutter Starring
 In Weiss Camp

Rocky Mount, N. C., April 11.-One feature that has made a favorable inn pressfon with George Weiss and other well wihers of the New Haven base ball club is Everett Nutter's throwing. When Nut hit camp last Monday he was inwardly wogried as to wheth- CT or not his soupbone would be as good as it used to be. Nuts crashed up against a fence in Springfield tive years ago and sustained shoulder injury that had whole lot to do with him not returning to New Haven last year. So far Nutter has shown no signs of paralysis in his arm and is getting distance we'll as accuracy.
 It might be we'll to bare a secret regarding Nutter's 1921 exploits. Re alizing that his arm was bad and that a rest was the only cure Nutter de- cided to stay in the west. But the baseball fever "got'' him eventually and he hooked up with an independ- ent nine near his home town. His arm continued to trouble him but rather than call 1t quit he purchased 9 right hand mitt and did the throw ing with his left hand. You can't beat NlItter He's in a class by himself

In the second, Hall weakened his opponent by heavy body body wajllops and blows to the jaw and sent him to the floor for tfhe counts of nine. After that it was Halls battle all the way, although McNerney put forth game efforts to come back Hall had McNerney on the verge of a K Q. several times, but the Danbury boy was elusive and dodged aM blows with the K.

 Hi Ladd Not Overlooked.
 In the pioneer days of old Connec- ticut League, players were allowed 25 cents flor meals when on the road This would only provide half enough chow for some of the eyer-hungry athletes and there was more or less kicking on the appropriation.

Ross Eye Damaged
 Ross was treated to a line impress sion of Delaney'S jabbing left in the initial round when the East Side bat tier brought the color to Ross cheeks by a couple of terrific slams. De- laney also half closed Ross right eye in the breezy opener In the second Delaney again used his left jab effec- lively and had Ross guessing

 Rushing tactics were adopted by Delaney in the sixth when the Bridgeporter showered uppercuts and rib-roasters against his opponent and Ross showed signs of weakening un- der the vicious body attack.
 A poke in the nose in the preceding round caused Delaney's claret to flow. In an effort to reach Delaney'S body Ross slipped, and Delaney sent in two more uppercuts with his left coupled with a hard right against Ross bread basket. Ross evidently felt the stink of the blows as he was holding on Delaney when the bell rang.

Two Infielders Fast

There will be no necessity of Gene McCann scouting around for infield- CTS should any of his prospects fall to come up to expectations. Rabbit Emmerich, is spending considerable time operating around second, short and third Ee.ia in his work outs, and 1S executing such a brand of classy work to call for favorable comments from Jimmy Kelly and other old timers Emmerfch is fast as a flash of lighting and can scoiop in grounders with grace as Kingdom brings into play
 Gene Martin is another of the Der by outfielders who likes to practice In the infield Martins favorite corner is first base. In a pinch Martin could easily be sent to that position and the inner defenses fully protected.
