GIANTS CAPT.
 RANKS HIGH
 ASSHORTSTOP

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Out on the field directing the defensive play that neither John McGraw, the manager, nor his first assistant, Hughey Jen- nings, could do from their places on the bench, all season has been Dave Bancroft, field explaining the Giants to another pennant.
 "Banny'' is listed by many of the competent critics of the game to be the greatest shortsop in baseball to- day. The teams that have won pen nants with a poor, or even mediocre man at shortstop-the pivot of the de- fense-are few and those that have come through winners of the Worlds Series virtually all had topnotchers.
 Before the 1922 season ended base ball writers began casting about for the most valuable man to his team of all the major leaguers and a number mentioned Bancroft, placing him in the class with Joe Tinker, of the old Cubs, Hans Wagner of the Pirates, Rabbit Maranville, of Pittsburg and Boston, Jack Barry of the Athletics and Red Sox, and q greater player than Arthur Fletcher, now with the Quakers, who was Bancroft's predeces- Sor.
 The Giant captain is of first class caIibre both on the defense and of fense and as a field general. As a 1ead-off man he ranks with the best of all time. He covers an amazingly large area in the field and is a pes tering, dangerous runner on the bases. He is considered quite a bit better than the cold figures show him to be.
 Last season Bancroft hit over 300 for the first time in his career. He be- gan as a poor batter and his rise has been due to his superior fielding and inspirational defense. Ten years ago he hit .213 with the Portland, Ore, club, but came up to .254 his first year in the maj jors with the Philadel- phia and was member of the Quakers the only time that a club represent ing that city participated in the World Series.
 In 153 games in which he played last year Bancroft batted .319 and fielded 960, accenting 396 chances-more than any other National League short stop and making 382 assists, 396 put outs, 39 errors. He batted in 67 runs, went to first base on balls 66 times

PEARLS GROWN FOR BUSINESS
 BY JAPANESE

PARIS, Oct. 6.-Owners in Paris of valuable strings of pearls have been thrown into something like consterna- tion by the published opinion of Dr. Louis Boutan, professor of science at the University of Bordeaux and an ex. pert in pearls, that he and other pearl experts are unable to distinguish be- tween real pearls and those artificially grown by the Japanese. The state French Academy of Sciences, removes the last hope concerning Japanese pearls, which have been grown in quantity since M. Mikimoto, the Jap anese scientist, made his discovery.
 Pearls normally are grown by acci- dent, through fine grain of sand en- tering the shell of the oyster. The white substance, called a pearl, grows inside the oyster and is a secretion caused by the effort of the shellfish to get rid of the foreign substance Mi kimoto conceived the idea of opening oysters and inserting this foreign sub stance, or gain of sand, that formerlv came there accidentally
 Since Japanese began to grow pearls artificially, there has been much dis. cussion as to whether these new  pearls would affect the value of the accidentally grown pearls. The only difference would appear to be in the pearl seed, or grain of sand, and now it is claimed by Dr. Boutan that even this difference cannot be detected
 The statement of Dr. Boutan is cate goric: eff I did not have a certificate of origin when sections of pearls were shown me, pearls cut into sections for testing purposes, I would not be able to say which pearl is artificial"

Old Time Resident Dies.

Word was received in Lamar of the
death last Thursday at the National
Military Home in Kansas of Frank
Means, an old time popular resident
of Lamar and Prowers county. Frank
conducted a cafe here for a number
of years and was held in the highest
esteem by all our citizens. He had
Joined the army while a young man
and served in some of the Indian cam
paigns in western Texas and Arizona.
He was a member of the Lamar Ma
sonic lodge and always retained a high
interest in the institution. He was
taken with severe attack of rheuma-
tism about nine years ago while con-
ducting a cafe at Holly and never re-
covered the use of his limbs to an ex-
tent that would enable him to work.
He secured admission to the military
home in Kansas and later in Colorado,
but the altitude at Monte Vista was
too high for him and he had to return
to Kansas. He always visited his old
Lamar friends for short time each
year, and it was with deep regret they
heard of his death.

Common Sense and Sugar Beets,

1t goes without saying that the
American beet grower and sugar pro-
ducer cannot pay western wages to
American families and compete with
free sugar produced in Cuba and other
countries by the lowest paid labor in
the world. Foreign sugar producers
have every advantage of American
machinery and skilled superintendents
to turn out record production while
their bill for common labor is trifl-
ing amount compared to the daily
wage in the American beet field and
sugar factory.
There is no attempt being made to
shut out the foreign produced sugar.
SAll that American beet growers are
asking is an increase of one-half cent
or so per pound in our sugar tariff.
This will mean that raw sugar from
foreign countries can be laid down in
our country and refined here at n
total price equal to the minimum cost
at which beet sugar can be produced.
"ouih HoN
but would allow the American producer
to have an equal chance with the for
eigner
The Herald-Democrat of Leadville,
Colorado, says, "If there is any vir-
tue in tariff laws. then this is an in
dustry that should be nurtured."
II we are to have unregulated for
eign competition, then American pro-
duceres Of basic commodities such as
sugar, must reduce wages and operat-
ing expenses to meet this competition
on basis Of price or go out Of busi-
ness.
Can our country afford to place its
industries in such n posotion?

Good News for Sportsmen.

Some time ago DR.. J. S .Hasty made
request of r. G. Parvin, game fish
commissioner, for fish for the lakes
north of Lamar. On Saturday five
tanks containing about five thousand
yellow or ring perch accompanied by
A. NJ. Antwine of the game and fish
department arrived on Santa Fe No.
IL These fish were taken in Warren
Musgrove's truck accompanied by A.
l.. and Ethan Beavers to Queen Beach
where they were placed in the lake
without the loss of u fish. Two
tanks of these fish were from four to
six inches long and will spawn this
season. They are very prolific the
female depositing about 2500 eggs the
first season, about 1000 the second and
about 5000 the third and from that
rapidly and with proper protection it
will only be a matter of a few years
until there is good fishing for every
body near these lakes and for people
who visit them for n few days re-
creation. Mr.. Antwine stated that the
department was stocking all plains
lakes with these fish and black bass
so as to make good fishing for game
fish near home for those that could not
afford the time and money to go to
the mountains and elsewhere and that
every effort would be made to protect
the lakes stocked against illegal me-
thods of fishing and game and fish

wise violate the game and fish laws.

in any of our lakes and reservoirs and
in addition to being food fish is n
game fish that is a free bitter that
takes artificial lures almost as freely
as natural or live bats. Mr.. Antwine
stated that special wardens would be
placed in this territory il necessary to
catch and punish violators that insist
ed on fishing before the season legal
ly opened. He also stated he was n
federal warden and requested that any
one having knowledge Of persons hunt
ing migratory birds out of season
communicate with him and he would
see that the violators were properly
dealt with. Every true lover of out
door sport and recreation should as
sist the department in their effort to-
wards game and fish propagation in
this section of the state. Get your
hunting and fishing license and keep
within the law.
