l have known e. S. Barnard,
Barney" for over Is years-and
much of this time have been in
close touch with him personally.
| l am not going to set him on a
pedestal because he is my friend
or because he is slated to become
head of the American league, one
Of baseball's biggest branches.
No one would be more Disguised
with a long string of laudatory
rambling than Barney himself.
He has his share of human fail
ings and knows it.
There are certain marked traits
about him, though, which mark
him well for a responsible position
in baseball.
That Barnard is absolute master
of his words was proved in the
Speaker-Co affair. AS president
of the Cleveland baseball club and
the man to whom the widow, Mrs.
James Dunn, looked to handle her
interests, Barnard was in a critical
position. Pressure was brought to
bear from many angles to involve
Barnard in the controversy.
At one time the rumor spread
that upon the reinstatement of
Speaker he would return to the
Cleveland club as manager.
Then only did Barnard speak.
"McCallister has been named
manager of the Indians" vas all
that Barnard said.
Regarding His Sincerity
The Cleveland ball club owed
much to Ban B. Johnson. 1t was
Big Ban who engineered the pur-
chase of the club from Charley
Somers by Dunn at a time when
| only such a deal would save
| Somers from a complete financial
crash, due to other investments.
The club always has been "for'
/, Johnson.
Barnard, however, is n of the
few men in responsible positions
in the league who incurred nc
personal enemies because of his
stand as representative of his club
He was mentioned as a possible
choice for president of the league
as early as last winter, months
before Johnson finally gave UP the
ship.
AS far as his faithfulness il
concerned one need only cite his
service in Cleveland.
Worth Is Discovered.
He was Charley Somers' right
hand man when the coal man wa
in control of the club. He had
nothing to do, of course, with the
change in ownership. Jim Dunn
brought with him to Cleveland one
or two personal representatives
Some months after Dunn tool
the club he called Barnard into
his office.
Barney, what this ball cluf
needs is somebody who knows how
to run the business end of Il
properly. The jobs yours
Dunn made it a provision o
his will that Barnard become presi

Destructive DrumfiSh,
Arouse Ire OF Oystermen
They Also Drive Out Weakfsh
and Other Game Fish
Seen i'm Unusual Num-
bers Along Ocean
County Shore

Vast schools of big black drum
have been seen in the vicinity of
some of the oyster beds along the
Ocean county coast. They are said
to be in great numbers than any
time within twenty-five years ago,
when they did great damage to the
oysters.
At that time dynamite was used
and thousands of them were blown
UP and thus destroyed and the war
fare on them was made SO persist
emily for several years that the
drum avoided Tuckerton anG
Great Bay for a long time there
after. or only came in small num-
bers.
The drum destroy many planted
oysters. They feed on the young
oysters, roofing up the bottom and
cracking the oysters between hard
bony plates they have in their
jaws. They destroy more by roofing
than they eat. as they stir up the
mud, which, in settling down upon
the bottom, covers over the young
oysters and smothers them.
They also drive out the weakfish
and other game fish. Tuckerton
has had exceptionally good fishing
and SO has Beach Haven, since
early in the spring. The party boat
men fear that the drum may END
it if they are not driven out.
A great many of these fish have
been caught. One method has been
to troll with a bunch, Or gang of
four hooks, the boat going back
and forth through a school of
drum. Numerous fish are caught
this way. Nobody down this way
will eat drum. Probably If they
| came canned from California, under
a fancy name, as horse mackerel
did under the name of tuna, folks
would consider them a delicacy.
Bluefish are striking the South
Jersey coast like they did many
years ago before the big CONNER
cial nets were strung along the
beaches or the menladen boats
scooping up tons of food fish te
be turned into fertilizer.
Seabass are plentiful in most Of
the inlets and Corson's Inlet re-
ports a run of founders. Weakfish
are not SO plentiful as is usual
this time of the year.

The boys game with Fromberg was
also a fast game. Fromberg started
the game with rush and made two
baskets before Bearcreek got started.
The first quarter ended to 7. The
second quarter was a see-saw but the
local boys emerged with few points
