 Re His Last
By NEA Service

Detroit, May 1f.-Whilc no definite announcement has been made, it is l understood that this year will be 1 Cobbs last season as q regular player.
 Cobb came to the Detroit club in 1907. At tho close of this reason he will have finished his twentieth sca- son as one Of the shining lights of the American league.
 Last season Cobb slowed up con slderabc. 1t was generally notice able. Cobb, himself, admitted that he no longer was Il speed merchant on the paths. He lost at lcast 70 hits last var he would have easily beaten out lp years ago.
 Cobb is proud of his great record. as well he should be. lie frankly ad- mits that he never wants his play 10 slip so much that tho crowd starts to boo him. He recalls that Laioie and Wagner suffered such fate in the final stages of their Liz league career.
 'Eothing like that for mo" say Cobb. When see that am has boon, it's scat on the bench for me"
 Cobb says th" thought of pcrma- nentiy retiring is still some years dis tant, but instead of regular he will probably play utility roles al the close of 1924,

BELIEVES AMERICA
 SHOULD WIN AGAIN
Johnston Makes PredictiOn-.Tl-
 den May Be Lost

San Francisco May 14.--Eyen
 though William T. Tilden, H., national
 tennis champion, is not a member of
 the United States Davis cup team, the
 American team should retain the
 trophy this year, William NJ. Johns ton, second ranking player in the ] country, declared here.
 ! There is no reason why We should lose the Davis cup" he said. "Tilden's resignation from the team has lessen ed our chances somewhat, but the rest Of us can work just that much harder and I think we should win even with out Tilden."
 Johnston has not yet been officially selected as member of the team, but his standing makes his ultimate selection almost certain.
 New York. May 14.-Speedy solu- ton of the tennis player writer issue that has reyolved for the past few weeks about the racquet and pen Of Americas national champion, William T. Tilden, was predicted last night by both sides to the controversy.
 The feeling of satisfaction in both camps followed the action of rresi- dent George ". Wightman in paving the way for a special meeting of the United States Lawn Tennis associa- ton to reconsider the whole player writer question. This step preceded publication of a statement by Tilden asserting his readiness to abide by the decision Of such special meeting and adding that, on the day il is called, he will withdraw his resignation from tho American Davis Cup team.
 Tiden's friends hailed President Wightman's action as the first step toward victory from their viewpoint. Some asserted advance knowledge Of Tilden's statement promoted the ap- parently hasty decision Of association officials and confidently expressed the belief that sentiment. crystalizing in favor of Tilden, would result in re- scindng or radically revising the rule at the proposed special meeting.

 Last year at Shelby Gibbons knew he COULDN'T whip Dempsey but felt sure he could LAST. and fought ac- cordinely. losing but lasting.
 Carpenter is coming here to get his last shot at the hiS money. He no longer has any illusions about fame end championships. If he wins he will stay on and fight again. If ho loses he will have another bank roll.

While Stewart these days may ap- pear quiet to the ordinary observer, and as far as the town is concerned is quiet. this is very good sign to the one who studies the whole situ- ation. No mining camp can ever be put on the map by people staying in
 town. Men must take to, and stay in the hills; prospect, do assessment and development work. and gener- ally dig into the mineral possibili- ties that present themselves. This is exactly the situation here today. Almost every corner of the district is being investigated. and just in
 the proportion that this is done, will be the proportion of progress. Stewart Canal News.

ALASKA SHELLFISH co.
 NOW CANNING CRABS
Frederick H. Meisnest, waste pro- duct engineer, and vice president of new company, visiting here.

Frederick H. Meisnest, vice presi- dent and treasurer of the Alaska Shellfish Company is in Wrangell for a weeks visit. This company was recently established in Wran- gell by James M Bell for the pur- pose of canning crabs. MT. Bell has experienced many annoying de- lays in getting the cannery started, but everything is going fine now and the prospects are bright that the work will be successfully con- tinued through the season.
 The company is using the trawl- ing system in their crab fishing which is used by the Japanese and the British deep sea fishermen. This system enables them to fish much more profitably, they believe, than is possible with the system  generally in vogue in Puget Sound and Alaskan waters.
 MT. Meisnest Is a waste product engineer. His work deals primarily with the utilization of waste. The new company are beginning their crab canning enterprise in con- servative way this year, but have plans laid for an extensive plant next season which will include, in addition to the crab cannery. a plant of Mir Meisnest's devising which will profitably utilize the crab waste.
