used and to say it was an en-.

Would Enjoy it," and surely not
only the old folks, but also the
younger folks did enjoy that

PROFITABLE DEAL IN FOXES
Treasury Of the United States Beno-
flied and the Value Of the
Breed Increased.

In the spring of 1921 the bureau Of
biological survey directed attention to
the fact that the blue foxes on some
of the Aleutian islands are deteriorat-
Ing through inbreeding, and that there
was desire on the part of the ma
tives and others to secure animals
from the Pribilof islands for restock-
Ing purposes.
In order to assist in building up the
blue fox industry of the Aleutians
where climatic conditions appear to be
favorable, the introduction of new
blood from the Prlbilofs was accord
ingly undertaken by the bureau Of
fisheries, and eight live blue foxes
were placed aboard the coast guard
cutter Bear at st. George island Sep
tember Is, 1921. One pair went to
L. A. Lavigne, lessee OF Unaiga is
land; one pair to the Unalaska Native
Brotherhood, lessees Of Avatanak is
land, and two pairs to n. Il. Boil
shanin, lessee of Kavalga and other
Islands. The purchasers supplied
shipping cases anu transportation was
at their risk.
All the foxes were received at Una
laska In good order and were prompt
ly placed on the islands under lease
to the various persons concerned. The
price charged for each animal was
$SS.12, this being the average realized
for Pribilof blue fox skins at the sale
at st. Louis February q, 1921. The
amount received for the eight foxes
was $704.90; SIS was allowed natives
of the Pribilof islands for each fox
secured, and the net proceeds, amount
ing to S864.96, were turned into the
treasury Of the United States.-Fish-

WILLIAMS JUST

BOSTON, May 19-The st. Louis
Browns, with Kenneth Williams, lat

now held by the Battering Babe
Ruth, are a hustling bunch Of ball
players.
Kenneth Williams. aside from
possessing the unusual ability TO
garner eleven home run smashes in
the first month. Ct the campaign, Is
a surprising young man. He de.
Clines to discuss at length or with
any noticeable interest the work Of
home run hitting. That is Incl

runs I will hit" said Williams last
night 81 haven't set any goal. ]
am out there to hit the ball in order
TO help the club to win. The home
runs are incidental"
He says II earnestly in a manner
that proves he Is speaking the
truth. The fact that he is the
runner-up to George Sisler In base
stealing thus far is further proof
that he is playing an an-around
game and not sacrificing other
things TO tho business Of hitting the
ball over the fence.
Williams is enthusiastic over the
prospects OF the Browns for heating
out the Yankees this season for the
pennant.
I'VE have found through the West
and here in the East that most fans
want some team to beat out the
Yankees. and that's probably the
reason they are cheering for us." he
declared And think IL we can
stay up with them until July weM
surely beat them, because our club
Is a strong finisher and comes better
in the last months than during the
early campaign"
At present the club Is second In
league hitting. batting for a com.
bined average OF .3os, nineteen
points ahead Of New York. which is
in third place. The Cleveland
Indians are leading the league In
hitting with .309.
williams was asked 70 estimate
what his home run total would be
for the season were he a member ot
the New York Yankees and playing
seventy.seven games a season In the
Polo Grounds. which have the short
est fences in either league. He
didn't care TO talk a great deal about
that. but he reckoned he could hit

A Few Companions.

understand fully the awful
Il situation, let's compare a
few marks. Let's look at Zeb
Milan's outfielders, seeing that
they are toiling at the tailend Of
the league.
Still gazing at those same last
figures we note that Sam Rice,
leading his outfielding mates with
the fail, had a mark of 300. Be-
hind him comes "Oil" Smith, with
.28l; Turkey" Brewer, with
.270; Hank Shanks, with .222;
Zeb Milan, himself, with .192,
and the great Goose" Goslin,
with 100.
Yes, it is true that Turkey
Brewer and Goose" Goslin have
added many points to their aver
ages since Al Munro made his
last official announcement but
neither of them is within hailing
distance of Witt nor Of the record
made last year by the BatterinS
Bambino.
Zeb Milan might take any one
of his outfielders off the bench,
replacing them with some now in
the batting order, and the skies
would remain in their position,
the Union would still be here.
Here and there some fan would
howl at seeing Turkey or Sam or
"Goose' on the bench, but the
world would continue majestically
upon its course.
But not so with Miller Higgins,
the poor little rich boy Of Gotham.

Young Charley Robertson was
knocked out Of the box by Cleveland
in his first start after pitching his
perfect game against Detroit. Then
he beat the Yankees. but fell Tues.
day before the Athletics. who let one
of those patches Of five runs fall on
him. 1t certainly does not do to un.
derrate those Mackian pupils any
longer.
The last no.hit game prior to those
recently turned in by Robertson and
Barnes was the only one twirled by
Walter johnson against the Red Sox
in 1920. And that game certainly did
not bring Sir" Walter any luck.
His arm stiffened Immediately after
that contest, and for the balance OF
the 1920 season johnson never threw
another ball.

Few begrudge the Tigers their
sensational success in the East. Aft
er losing their first six games, the
Detroits yesterday fought their way
to the 500 mark. II Is no mean feat
for a club 10 go through the first
week Of the season without victory
and then finish third by the end OF
a months play.
When Cobb first was appointed
manager Of the Tigers, 1t frequently
was said that he could not make his
men play for him.
He never obeyed any rules him
self, so how can he hope to n1eke
others obey?" was one Of The things
said about Tyrus Raymond.
Cobb may not be able to make his
club obey rules, but he certainly
has given his team q lot of his own
pep and dash. He has the Tigers
hustling for ball games, and their
hustle now Is being rewarded with
real success. Watch the Tigers!
The first 1922 YankeeC Cleveland
game was vastly different from the
sen tional combat which wound up
the 1921 warfare between these two
clubs. That thriller of last autumn
was won by the Yankees, . TO 8, in
one OF the most hectic baseball struE-
giles ever fought on New York soil.
That famous game gave the Yankees
the last series, three games out of
four, and practically clinched the
1921 flag for New York.
Tuesdays game brought forth two
of the pitchers who took party in that
sensational contest OF Last Septem-
ber. Quinn started the 1921 game
for the Yankees, but he was relieved
by Hoyt, who pitched great ball until
his finger was mashed by a hot
liner. which made II necessary to call
in Mays. CoveIeskie started that
great game for the Indians, but fail.
ed to go through with 1t.
Coveleskie once used to bea: the
Yanks regularly, but he has not done
it in recent years. The Yanks lick.
ed him in six out of seven games
last season.
1t is doubtful il 1922 will see II
repetition OF the strenuous Yankee.
Indian series OF 1920 and 1921. The
Indians still have most o: the play
ers who won the world 8 champion
ship from Brooklyn two years ago,
but the club yesterday lacked it's
former dash and fire. OF course,
no club looks good when IT is not
hitting and puts only an occasional
man on base. But against the Yam.
KEGS the Indians looked dead" az
though the fight already has been
knocked out Of them.
No-hit games have not brought
any particular luck to the pitchers
who twirled the hitless classics this
spring. Jesse Barnes has failed TO
finish either Of the games he start
ed I'm the West, after banking the
Phils without hit just before the
Giants went on the road. He re-
quired help in both ST. Louis and

When the American League
campaign opened poor little Miller
was compelled to use Chick Fews-
ter, Elmer Miller and Norman
Mcmillan in the outfield. The
latest figures compiled by AL
Munro Elias show Fewster hitting
for a measly PAT, Miller at .3l3
and Mcmillan at .305.
Yes, and sitting on the bench
for pinch-hitting duties is poor
Camp Skinner, an outfielder,
whose latest figures are an even
800 for four times at bat in five
games.
The problem became so terrible
that the Paying Colonels coughed
up $4,000, or something like
that, and obtained "Whitey" Witt,
one of the downtrodden Mack
men. Witt was hitting 400 the
last time Al Munro Elias peeked
at the figures. IS
Now, understanding the details
of the scenery, you may appreci-
ate the fear and trepidation with
which Miller Higgins, the poor
little rich boy of Gotham, ap-
proaches his task.
He must find room in his bat
ting order for Babe Ruth, king
of home run hitters, and possessor
of a 1878 hitting average for
1921, and Bob Meusel, who hit
tventy-four homers while amass-
ing an average of .31S last sea-
son.
Now you must understand the
horror of little Miller's situation.
