FAVORABLE ACTION ON KERR PETITION
Smallest Man to Pitch in Big
 Leagues May Be ReinStated

Chicago, Aug. 8 Upl-Hs year of probation over favorable action awaits the petition of Dick Kerr, hero of the 1919 worlds series, for reinstatement in organized baseball from which he was banned in 1922 when he violated the reserve clause in his contract and jumped to semi professional baseball.
 President Ban B. Johnson of the American league, to whom Kerr sent a telegraphic appeal from St. Louis yesterday, said he would act on it as soon as he received it.
 'l shall be glad 10 see Kerr back in organized baseball" said the jun for circuit head.
 After the former Chicago Amcri- can hurler receives the indorsemcni of the league chief, the final step in his reinstatement rests with Kcnc- saw VI, Landis, baseball commits sioner, who previously has dealt lcn- iently with those who desired to re- turn to the fold after straying from 1t.
 From tho moment he is notified of his absolution, Kerr plans to leave for Boston to join the White SoX. His physical condition is good as q result of practice with the various clubs as they came 10 St. Louis, his home town.
 Kerr is one of the smallest men to pitch in the big show. In the famous 1919 series, which resulted disas- trously for many of his teammates, he haffled the Cincinnati Nationals with his left handler curves and won two games. Previously the pitching aces, Eddie CiCotte and Claude CLefty) Williams had failed 10 hold the Reds.
 Cicotte and Williams, with five other White SoX, who were found 10 have laid down" in the series, later were hanished from organized base ball. Kerr's disagreement with the club authorities came over his salary and after much pickering he joined the Mid-West league. d semi-profes- sional organization composed partly of former major leaguers with teams in Chicago and nearby.
 During the probational period Kerr refrained from playing baseball with men regarded as ineligible by the organized game.

This rule is quoted because of d situation that arose in the Kensing- lon~Rangers game in the lower end 'owE last week. Catcher McKeon caught the third strike on batter and the ball went under his chest protector. The Rangers batters claimed the man was not out as he had made first base before Mckeon threw him out.

The play in question was one wherein the Corbin men claimed that the batter attempted to strike at the ball and was hit.

Taste Of Bass

As q rule large-mouth bass tastes muddy when cooked. This ground or mud flavor is frequently noticeable in the small-mouth as well. This k especially true where the fish have been taken in shallow or murly lakes or ponds.
 At this season of the year, when the waters are warm, this disagree able flavor is quite pronounced.
 Tho question is how to eliminate it. The answer Is quite simple.
 Steak your bass. When you re- move the skin, scales and bones from tEc Hanks" of your large or small-mouth you have eliminated the cause of the muddy taste in the fish.
 The method of stcaking bass is as follows:
 Hold the fish by the head, flat on its side. With sharp knife start at tail fin and cut into the fish and draw the knife toward the head. first along one side of the back or dorsal fin and then on the other. Starting at the head, run the knife close to the gills and down about half way, or slightly below the mouth. Then starting from the head run the knife under the flesh and down the sides, clearing the rib bones. Remove the skin from this "slab" and you have a steak. free from bones, sllin scales and odor, Flop the fish over on the other side and repeat the method.
 The steaks can be kept for days in a cool place without spelling When you quit your fishing trip you can take back with you delicious steaks of odorIcss morsels of bass for further consumption.
 Tor transportation l would sug- gest each steak be wrapped in a cloth separately.
 Roll these steaks in Cornmeal and fry in deep fat piping hot. Once you get the steaking habit you will never enjoy your bass any other way
 One of the best bass grounds know of is in Ontario.

Mr. Muligan without predicting the winner of the fight, expects that the bout will not so Is rounds be- cause both fighters are vicious type that seek to down his opponent.
 We are Of the opinion that the featherWeight title will stay in Con- necticut because we believe that Kaplan is the better man. Herman, on the other hand, may be poor in some bouts, but he is always at his best against kaplan and we may be entirely wrong in our dope.
 Herman scored a decisive victory over Lew Hurley last night, and critics of the fight game are stating that he is in great shape for crack at the title. Kaplan also is ill great shape and now that he is a tWo- listed fighter, we think that he will put Babe Herman down.
 It's a little early yet for the bot ting to start, but down in Meriden the Kaplan rooters there are ready to risk the long gNen on their champion. This is a fine thing to think that a fighters home city Is soidly behind him in the test of his entire career and Kaplan should feel at home in Brassco Park among his friends.
 Tickets for the fight should be secured carly as the choice seats are going fast. There will be plenty of seats in Brassco park to take care of the crowd. There will be between 15,o0O and 20,OoO seats in the park and all true sport fans are hopirg that Muligan will have a scllout on the day of the bout.
 The Boys league is at it once again at Walnut Hill park this aft emoon an TWO gooG games arc in prospect. The Boys club will play Paradise Park aud BGrritt will play Washington.

BANDITS KILLED BY POLICE WHEN
 HOLDIJP STAGED

SEATTLE, June 6 (P-The com bined forces of Snohomish and King county are securing the countryside for two of four bandits who robbed the Bothell State Bank of approxi- mately S2500 yesterday and escaped with the loot in shower of bullets
 James Pollock and George Jones, two of the four bandits, were found dead in their automobile near Everett, having succumbed to wounds inflict- ed by officers at the time of the hold up.
 John Pollock, a brother to James, and former Everett high school foot ball start is being held by the author ities together with Elvey Kilbourne. The bodies of the dead bandits were brought to Everett after a stranger had telephoned John that his brother was hurt, and directing him where to find his body.
