BARON STOCK TAKES AN
UPWARD JUMP AS NEW
PITCHER IS SECURED
After Series Here, Teams
Jump To Atlanta For Games
In Gate City

After a day of idleness. the Barons
will resume play in their series with
the Crackers Monday afternoon at
Redwood field. With the announce
ment that Roy Moore. Philadelphia
pitcher had been signed up by the
Barons, the local stock took new
jump Although the Barons don't
seem to be suffering particularly
from poor piching, any port in a
storm" is the slogan now, and posi-
bly, if the pichins staff can be built
up so that it can win games with lit
tie aid the Barons will climb in a
lace a notch or two higher than the
one they are now filling.
1t seems, though. as only a matter
of time until the team gets to work Il
! ing together, The material is good,
but a yet there seems to be some
thing the matter with the mechanism.
Possibly a little weathering will get
the combination into shape, and they
will put out some ball play that they
are really capable of.
The only question that may come
over the horizon and cast a shadow
across the paths of the faithful fans
good? At present the Barons are not
/ badly in the hole, and with a little
consistent winning can easily come up
to within striking distance of first
place. However, Little Rock seems to
be fattening the averages of the
teams over the Barons' heads con-
lsistenly, and their loss does not affect
the league standing of the locals.
The Barons still have a series to
play with the Crackers in Atlanta.
Then they return to Fleetwood on
June II to meet the Travellers. This

Barons wondering feet into the right
road if they have not found them
selves before that series. However,
the Travellers were no such easy
pickings for the Barons in Little
Rock. and possibly by the time they
come here will really be dangerous
foes. After the Travellers the Barons
play Memphis at Redwood. These
three series give the Barons a fairly
good chance to win most of their
games or at least half of them, so
that possibly the annual Baronial
squirt will soon come off,

Parisians Plan Great
Fete For New Champ

PARIS, June "a "Criqui national

arrange for a triumphant homecom-

Napoleon homing from Elba will
have nothing on the battling feather
weight. Paris. which went wild with
joy when the cabled news of his vic

the steam calliope, the brass band,
the 1891 champagne and all fixings,
giving him a reception such as few
Frenchmen have ever had.
A sporting newspaper has started
a national subscription of one franc
each to provide a fitting souvenir
of 'Kree-Kee," and the press unites
in declaring that his exploit and per-
sonality are the best sort of French
propaganda, raising French prestige

MEXICALI, March 81. - Speech
lation is rife as to pust what
brought James j. Coffroth and
other millionaire sportsmen IN
charge Of the Tia iuana race track
to Mcxicai last week on q secret
visit. Those in the know were in
sistent in their refusal TO tell any
thing of the plans or movements or
the party.
There is Il persistent rumor that
the Mexican government has awar-
dad the Tiajuana track to the Bas'
sity interests. The idea has been
advanced here that if this is so, it
lation is rife as to just what
have been here in the interests Of
starting n rival track at Mcxlcali,

Raising Fur Is
New Project Of
Valley Trappers

BARD. March 27.-Of interest
10 the young boys is the visit OF
Will Z. Stanford TO this eommuni.
ty, who with his wife and family,
accompanied by Messrs. Albert
Reecc and p. 6. Nethercut left on
Wednesday for their home near
Taviorsville, California.
They have been here since the
first of the year, trapping beaver,
muskrats and racoon on the river
between the Laguna dam and Nee
dies.
Going to Raise Fur
Messrs. Reece and Nethercut who
have, in the past, been operating
two power boats between the dam
and Parker, now have entered into
partnership with Mr.. Stanford and
together they have secured a ranch
of l43 acres on Indian Creek in the
northern part of California. This
they have fenced and will raise
beaver, raco0n. silver and black
fox, and muskrats for their fur.
The Indian Creek provides an excel
lent home for the beaver rs the an
imals must live near the water. In
fencing this ranch, it was necessary
to set the fence three feet in the
ground to keep the animals from
burrowing under.
They secured permit from the
government TO trap along the Colo
RADIO. The fact that it was Eeces
sarv 10 preserve the animals alive
made the work difficult.
Beaver Hard Customer
OF all the animals the beaver is
the most difficult TO catch and
keep. They are vicious, and as
their teeth are four inches long,
enabling them to cut through Il
large tree, il behooves Il trapper to
protect himself from bite. Also
a slap from their tail is very severe.
Mr.. Reece shys he caught one very
fine specimen, weighing approxim-
atelF l65s pounds which gave him
a terrible slap with her tail and
chased him all around the boat but
was finally subdued and captured,
Only to break Jail that night and
let out six others.
Messrs. Reece and Nethercut
have sold their boats and will il.
the future devote their time to the
fur farm near Taylorsville.

Trap the Fly
And Here's How
To DO 1t Well

Fly time in Imperial Valley is
dreaded by all good housekeepcrs
and it is reported that the little
Scavengers are more than usually
numerous this season from some
cause.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has just issued II bnl-
letin on "Fly Traps and Their
Operation which gives timely
suggestions and methods of max
ing traps that may easily be fol-
lowed by the house wife.
The bulletin says that rlvtraps
have distinct place in the control
of the house fly and other noXiOus
species, but that there is n genera
tendency to put too much depend
cnce on the flytrap as n method OF
abating the nuisance. 1t should be
borne in mind that trapping is only
supplementary to other methods OF
control, most notable of which is
the prevention of breeding either
by completely disposing breeding
places or by treating the breeding
material with chemicals.
Flytrapping should begin early
in the spring if it is to be Of any
benefit and it is the suggestion of
the farm home department that all
get busy ut once and make traps.
