BLIND PIC RAIDS
NET 50 PR|sONE RS
McDermitt, Palisade, Elko and Tono-
pah Furnished Record Number
of Bootleggcrs When Prohi
Officers Make Raids

Elko was startled from the usual
order of things yesterday afternoon,
say the Free Press, when six federal
operatives of the prohibition en-
forcement service for Nevada landed
landed in the city shortly after
noon, from the western part of
state and proceeded to arrest the
proprietors of five of Elko's soft
drink emporioums charging them
with dispensing whiskey in viola
tion of the Volstead act which is
the law of Nevada.
The raid came as a complete sur
prise to the people of this city, al
though it has been rumored around
at various times that federal Off
GERS were in the city getting the.
"dope" on those who were alleged
to be selling the forbidden liquid.
: 1t is understood that the officers
came from the west raiding as they
went from town to town, and it was
noised about town this afternoon
that they made a clean up in Pali-
sade recently.
This mornings Reno Gazette re-
ports the following to have hap
pened in Tonopah yesterday:
Based ON information quietly col
lected by federal prohibition ely
ing squadron" men in April and
May, warrants of arrest were
served on thirty-one persons in
Tonopah yesterday charging them
with. violations of the national pro-
hibition act.
Bench warrants issued in Carson
City this week, following the filing
of court informations by the United
States attorney, were served by
the United States marshal and his
deputies, involving, besides the 81
defendants, eleven separate estab-
lishments, where, it is alleged, IL
quor has been dispensed in violation
of law.
. This was the biggest prohibition
cleanup" in the history of Ne
vada. Apparently there has been
no discrimination. Great and small
were gathered into the net, and the
action of the federal authorities
is regarded as smashing blow to
he southern Nevada booze ring.
While the United States marshal
and his deputies were making whole
sale arrests in Tonopah with bench
warrants based on secret informa-
tion supplied by the prohibition
flying squadron" Nevada enforce
ment officers were busy in the east
ern part of the state.
j. P. Donnelley, prohibition direc-
tor for Nevada, was advised by wire
that his men had conducted raids
at Palisade and McDermitt, result
ing in the arrest of fifteen de-
PENDANTS.
\ All told, about 55 arrests have
been made since the first of the
week by prohibitioa enforcement
officers in Nevada.

WOOL MEN EXPECT
RESUMED BUYING
Wool Market censi.uss Nigh, Bat
Offers to Buy Withdrawns Gen.
dition Said TO Be Result
of Cautious Attitude

As the saying goes, there Is
something in the air" as regards
further buying of Nevada wool
clips. For a period of four or
five weeks all buying has been.
declared off, with carefulness the
keynote of the buyers, who ap-
parently have no desire to get
caught, as they did in 1920. with
large stocks of high-priced wool and
no market. No sales have been
recorded here during recent days
and none are contemplated, so far
as known, even though one buyer
came here a few days ago with
offers to buy at slightly below 40
cents per pound, but at Elko It h
reported big pool Of wool il about
to be sold, though no mention II
made of price.
Competent opinion Of men here
abouts is that the recent stopping
of buying was brought about BY
men intent upon preventing repe-
tition of the inflated condition prev
alent before the 1920 slump. They
say that it does not mean that the
wool market is weak, for it Il
known that mills are working on
a hand-to-mouth basis, with m
actual shortage of fine Merino wool,
such as is grown in this territory,
Also buying has been resumed in
Texas, where the price is So cents.
One estimate is that not more
than half of the wool grown in
Humboldt county, including the
John G. Taylor clip, has been sold,
and that active buying will shortly
be resumed here at prices ranging
between 40 and 45 cents per pound.
In the absence of definite or
adequate offers for wool Gins a
plan has been put forward during
the last week whereby wool growers
would ship their clips to marketing
cities on consignment to wool COM
mission men who would advance q
portion of the purchase price At
this time, pursue the progressive
marketing" plan of later selling
the wool, and make return to the
wool men upon the basis Of price
AS~'Se. Al ouPPONS u Bux8 R1011
is the contention that by not dump
ing" great quantities Of wool upon
the market the. price may not bs
weakened and that in the end the
wool growers will realize even .
greater profit than will be case IL
they awaited offers from direct
buyers. Such consignment for s'prc-
gressive marketing is said to meet
with favor in some instances, but
with disfsvor in others either from
m:sullt erstanding or lack of de-
sire on the part of the sheep men
to further postpone q definite salcs
arran1 ement. In other words, the
wool growers desire to end all un-
certainty as to what they are "a
receive for their clips, and Il ID
this attitude which prevents activity
in the commission plan Of sale.
That shortage of wool such a
is grown in Nevada actually exists,
however, there seems to be little
doubt, and it is for this reason that
growers are continuing to view the
condition optimistically, though i'm.
patiently, relying upon the belief
that unless unforeseen conditions
arise they eventually will receive
favorable prices for their clips.

Ran of Grade

Ran OFF Grade
Running off the grade on the
Reno to Lovelock road was the
exciting experience of Mrs. Mary
Sloan Wind and her son while they
were en- route to this city to visit
Mrs. Winds brother, James Sloan.
The accident occurred near the
Eagle salt works, west of Lovelock,
when Mrs. Winds son, driving a
light car, found it impossible to
hold it to the road, which at that
point is made from the old South
ern Pacific railroad bed and is con-
sequently of the "Washboard''
variety due to the removal of ties.
DR.. Morrison of this city was the
first on hand following the accident,
he returning from Reno, and with
the aid of other motorists who soon
appeared was enabled to place the
car back on the grade. Neither
mother or son was injured and it
was possible to drive the car, under
its own power, to this city.

Ii a player in computing his
score in medal play makes mis-

markable when you consider that
he has been catching some Of the
most difficult pitchers in the game.
When he joined the Chicago
club, Billy Sullivan was the head
liner, in the catching end of the
game. Sullivan was nearing the
end of his career, while Ed Walsh,
star pitcher of the Sox, was at the
top of his game.
Who would catch Walsh when
Sullivan passed cut of the picture?
Could the wee Schalk handle the
deceptive spitball delivery of the
giant Walsh? Nest OF the baseball
experts scoffed at the idea.
Schalk finally got his chance. It
took only a few innings to prove
that catching Walsh was easy for
Schalk Until Walsh passed out of
the majors, Schalk was his regular
battery mate. He took care of
Walsh in as acceptable manner as
did Sullivan, and in his day there
was no better receiver than Billy
Sullivan.
In addition Walsh, Schalk has
caught two other tough binds, in
Eddie Cicotte and Red 9Fabem.
Cicotte, master of all the pitching
tricks of the game, gave a catcher
days work any time he perform-
ed. have seen substitute catch
ers essay to handle Cicotte's stuff
and have a terrible time of it,
dropping about every other ball
pitched.
Equally hard to catch is "Red"
Faber, still one of the games lead
ing pitchers. Faber, with his side
arm splitter, fast-breaking curve
and a corking fast ball, will keep
any catcher on his toes.
In addition to handling the
shoots of Walsh, Cicotte and Fab
er, a trio of master pitchers, Schalk
has" looked over perhaps so other
pitchers who have seen service with
the Sox since he joined the club.
Sohalk is sure the wonder man
of baseball when it comes to work
and efficiency.
Right now it looks as if he'd
catch about 1870 games this year.
In the 10 years prior to 1928,
Schalk had work 1928 games, an
average of 1872 games a season
out. of possible 154. That sure
is stepping some.
Some idea OF the record Schalk
has established can be cleaned
from the fact that George Gibson,
who ranks second to Schalk in the
matter OF work performed, has on
iy six years 10 mis- credit in which
he caught more than 100 games.
Chief Myers, when with New York,
caught 100 or more games for five
consecutive years. Schalk has all
ready mere than doubled that rec
ord,
Sehalk's biggest year was in
1920 when he caught ISL games
and his lean year was 1918 when
he scaught only 100 games, the
season being curtailed because of
the war.
It will be long time before
baseball produces another catcher
of the Schalk type, a player cap
able of doing much work and doing
it well.
