Some Notes on the Sanger and the
Raccoon Perch

Some Notes on the Sanger and the
Raccoon Perch.
Although the big pike perch known
as the wall eyeq or wall eyed pike. ia
the most popular member of the
plke.perch group, there Is another OF
that tribe in the upper Mississippi
valley and in the great lake region.
This is the SAUCER, also known as the
jack. sand pike. gray pike. or rattle
snake pike. This little pike perch
grows to a length of twelve or fifteen
inches and Is paler in color than its
big brother. the wall eye. Its brassy
sides are marked by several black or
blacklsh splotches. which are the rea-
son for its being called the rattle
snake pike.
Tho SAUCER doesn't make such q
splash as a game fish. nor is It as
good to eat as n wall eye You can
take 1t by still fishing or trolling
and sometimes It will rise to a small
fly. Taken on tackle hat you would
use for crappies. very light rod, line,
and small flies. you can have some
fun with 1t. But with so many
scrappy and good sized game fish in
tho middle west It is not surprising
the SAUCER has not been given
much attention. We once caught n
twelve incher by accident and can't
say that IL gave us a big thrill. A
small minow at the end of a sixty
foot line turned the trick.
And now we come to the member

heroic type that was necessary for
the big league. and when he made his

fizzled. It wasn't because he lacked
speed. or curves. but he had no con-

against which he began-wouldn't go

transforming Trip of Indian
apolis Club Was Means of
Finding Great Pitcher.

Often there has been curiosity ex-
pressed as to how Amos Rusie came
to start in baseball.
Tho big fellow laughs about 1t and
grins when you ask him. Harry
Hampstead. former president OF the
Giants, happened not long ago to meet
Capt. Charles S. Tarieton. who was
the manager of the first baseball team
for which h "Hoosier Wonder"
pitched. The conversation did the ex.
pected when both turned eventually
to reminiscing.
Tar,eton was manager of the team
of the indianapolis Athletic club in
1887. That WIS one OF those baseball
teams which preceded the professional
teams with their fixed purpose Of
trying to win n championship by
securing nation wide for players.
A trip was arranged TO play Union
City, Frankfort, Lafayette. and Craw-
eordsvil'e. Those were real trips, too.
Makes First Trip.
Rusle was taken on the trip because
of a rare stroke OF luck for Tar,eton.
The latter thought he had a pitcher.
but at the last momen his pitcher
faxed to come to time. Ed Bingham.
who played left field, had heard OF
Rusie and he suggested to Tar,eton
that he get him.
Skirmishers were sent around In
d'anapolis and Amos was found busy
al work in a factory. He agreed to
take to the ties. but no one suspected
when he did 50 that the marvel OF a
nation was about to make his FIRST
real promenade around a baseball cir
cult.
On the team In addition to Rusie
and Bingham there were Tarleton, at
second base; Mckee. third base;
Adams. an %outfielder and change
pitcher. and Newberger. at first.
Rusie pitched his first game at
Frankfort and won it. The next game
was at Lafayette and Rusie pitched
that and won IT. Then the team went
over TO Charlottesville and Rus,e was
asked II he would pitch again.
About this time the indianapolis
big league club was in process OF for
nation and Capt. Tar,eton. who was
bursting with desire 10 tell the pro-
moters all about Rusie hurried to tho
office of A. J. Treat. who was n of
the men putting indianapolis on the
map. and told him that Indiana. in
addition to raising the best hog corn
IN tho world. had raised the best
pitcher.

WEDDING RING
>. FROM SEWER
Who Owns This Gold Band
Bearing Initials "A. H.,
See Street Dept.

Somewhere, sometime, someone in
,this city lost a fourteen karat gold
wedding ring containing the initials
IA. l.. Someone probably after search
ing for the ring for a long time set
themselves down and gave way to
bitter tears, and then that someone,
probably without informing Hubby
of her troubles, walked to the five
and ten cent store and purchased
another ring to take the place of the
one she had lost. knowing full well
that Hubby would never think to
look at the ring she wore, in fact 1t
isn't likely that he had bothered to
notice the ring since the day that
preacher had said those words that
Joined them together for life.
Maybe the ring purchased from
the five and ten cent store didn't re-
tain its golden hue for a long time,
but 1t was easy to buy a new n to
AXE its place and so the trips to the
live and ten may have become quite
frequent. Perhaps the someone who
lost the ring had at last given up all
hopes of yer finding it, but to some
the fates are kind, and in this in
stance they have been kind to A. L.
Yesterday while Thomas Ford vas
7 operating the street basin cleaner of
the street department at the corner
of Smith and High streets the clean

This was thrown onto a wagon and
taken to the dump. After it arrived
ut the dump John Hooley began rak-
ing out the dirt so that it would be
level. During the curse of this lev
cling process the rake uncovered the
ring. Hooiey reported the find to
Adam Jennetty. street commissioner.
and Mr., Jennetty informed the
Evening News.
Therefore A. L., whoever you may
be, you may obtain the gold band
that is cherished by all women, by
getting in touch with the street de-
partment and asking for Mr.. Hooley.
who has the ring in his possession.

SEE OPPOSITION
To CHAMBERL|N
Haynes Does Not Want For.
r1er MiddIesex Man as
State Dry Director
BY GEORGE H. MANNING

WASHINGTON. April 1s.-Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes is
opposed to the appointment of Ad-
rian G.. Chamberlin of East Orange
for state prohibition director for New
Jersey, Senator Edges candidate,
and II the Recommendation OF SEN
ator Edge is followed 1t will be at
the insistence of President Harding
and over the vigorous protest of
Haynes, 1t was learned on high au-
thority today.
Senator Edge yesterday took
Chamberlain to the White House and
introduced him to the President as
his choice for state prohibition d.
rector for New Jersey and then took
him to Prohibition headquarters and
presented him to Commissioner
Haynes.
Mr.. Haynes is firmly opposed to
Chamberlain's appointment, It is
learned, chiefly because Edge wants
the appointment made, and will
make every effort to prevent II. In
stead of fatty opposing appointment
Of Chamberlain because he is put
forward by Edge. Commissioner
Haynes Is taking the position that
Acting Director Moss is serving eff
ciently in New Jersey and should
be kept IN the job for the benefit
Of the service.
President Harding, on the other
hand, was very favorably impressed
by Chamberlain's appearance and
manner, 1t Is learned, and is In
clined to make the appointment for
the political advantage that will &C.
crue to Senator Edge. Hes wa
pleased to know that Chamberlain
has always stood with the dry fore
es, and expressed his approval of
the endorsement he had received
from the leaders in New Jersey.
Owing to the absence from Wash
ington of Internal Revenue Com
missioner Blair. who is Mr.. Haynes
superior, there will be no action on
this appointment for several days.
Upon the return of Mr.. Blair this
appointment will likely be taken up
without delay. II President Hard
ing declines to be Influenced by
Commissioner Haynes an dretains
his present state of mind about the
matter Chamberlain, 1t is believed.
will be appointed before the end of
this month.
The position of state director for
New Jersey has been vacant about
six months while Edge and Haynes
have been in a deadlock. Haynes
has favored the appointment of
George Vickers of Jersey City, who
was endorsed by Senator Frelinghuy-
sen and the Anti-Saloon League of
New Jersey, but Senator Edge has
been able to block this appointment.
Haynes appointed Mr.. Moss as act
ing state director about six months
ago when Director Brown resigned
and no agreement could be reached
about his successor. Haynes would
be extremely pleased TO keep Moss
on the job.

One Of the surprising things aboul
the meeting was that those de:e-
gates who could claim to SPEAK
from experience declared that the
system of maintaining safety. gates
at grade crossings, was highly I'm
satisfactory, of the speakers
asserting that Automobiles looked
upon crossing gates as something TO
be run into" This was true, 1t was
said, only of rural crossings, which
formed the subject of the discus
sion. In cities, it was said, trains
are forbidden to ruin past a crossing
at which the gates are not Town.
Another reason why gates were
said to be inefficient as projections
to rural crossings was thai they dfe
out of repair a large proportion OF
the time, and that when a moto-

DILL ASKS FOR
COOPERATION
To End Reckless Driving
Deprive Such of Right to
Drive Cars

TRENTON, April 1S.-Scoring the
magistrates of the state who refuse
to cooperate with his department
nad to revoke the licenses of speed
ers, instead of merely filming them,
Motor Vehicle Commissioner Will
lam L. Dill. in a letter to all the
committing magistrates of the state,
pleaded for their assistance, and de-
clared that the only way of stopping
the eYer-mounting total OF fatalities
was to deprive the reckless motorist
of his right to drive a car. As far
back as last October, Commissioner
Dill asked that magistrates revoke
the licenses of motorists who insist
upon speeding at an excessive rate
over the highways of New Jersey.
In declaring his disappointment
that his response of last october did
not meet with a very hearty re-
Spouse, Commissioner Dill declared
that the Investigations conducted by
him into a number of accidents has
aroused me to a determination of re-
newing my request to you that you
enter a revocation of the licenses for
excessive SPEEDING and reckless driv-
ing and forward the licenses to this
office, together with report of your
findings"
Commissioners Dill declared that
1.-The most wholesome deterrent that
can be applied to a reckless driver
is that he be divorced from his right
To drive a car.
"If you will take this action" said
Dill to the magistrates, II pledge you
that no license so revoked will be
restored unless tho defendant in
pressing his request for such restora-
ton has the same endorsed by the
%revoking power"
The commissioner pointed out
that during the first three monts of
the present year, 100 persons lost
their lives in automobile accidents.
last year there were 527 persons
killed by automobiles. and in 1921,
397 people met death through this
agency.
1t was declared that in view of
the alleged dereliction of the mag
istrates, many motorists make bold
20 drive at a speed of from fifty to
seventy-ive miles an hour, and pro-
coed on the theory that IL they are
caught the imposition OF a small fine
will be all the penalty they will be
made to suffer.
In closing his letter, Commissioner
Dill declared that he was speaking
In the name of the people of New
Jersey who looked to him for pro-
lection, and asked the magistrates
cooperation.

TRENTON, April 1S.-Ffuit and
vegetable growers of New Jersey are
keenly interested in plans for STAN
dardizing in a natural way the con-
tanners in which their products r
sold. Regulations fixing the size of
these containers, 1t Is believed by
federal and state agricultural u
thorities who have given the matter
much study, will help eliminate con-
fusion and systematic the process
of marketing throughout the coun-
try. Some extent of the need for a
better classification of containers is
said to have been uncovered by a
specialist Of the Federal Bureau OF
Markets, in a recent investigation
that found 80 different sizes in use.
Not only. 1t is claimed. do these diff
ferent containers confuse the pub
lie but they make it easy for an an
scrupuious dealer to deceive ,he
buyer. 1t is against such practices
that a national campaign is being
waged for standardized containers.
