TAYENER BACK

DETROIT, Feb. 25.-[P-Jackie
Tavener, d~iminutive shortstop of the
Detroit Tigers, who it was feared
would be unable to play ball this
year owing to an injured finger on
his throwing hand, will be back in
the lineup at the start Of the season,
Manager Moriarty has announced.
Moriarty, at the clubs training
camp at San Antonio, Tex. said the
finger, which was nearly severed in
the accident and then stiffened after
healing, has returned to its normal
condition.
Because of the belief that Tavener
would no longer be able to play
major league baseball, Detroit signed
Chick" Galloway, former shortstop
Of the Philadelphia Athletics. Gallo
way will be retained Ter utility in
field work.
Indications are that George Dauss,
veteran Keller pitcher, who was i'll
during most of last season, will be
unable to join the team this sea-
son.

MCCARTHY STUDIES TEAMS

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.@ReWhiie
his boys are unkinking at Catalina
Island, Manager Joe Mccarthy Of the
Cubs is looking over. on paper, the
teams he must beat during the reg
ular National league season. As he
views it today, the Pittsburgh Pirates
will be the club the Cubs must con-
quer if they hope to win the 1928
pennsnt.
Mccarthy believes that the Pirates
have the baseball timber, but he
thinks it possible that the drubbing
they. took from the Yankees in the
World Series may have affected their
morale.
Cub Fingers are beginning to cut
loose with q bit of sream as the

Monday Mccarthy thinks they will be
able to offer a lot OF twisters for

An Ex-Soldier Tells.

An ex-soidier tells that during the war he was billeted in certain vil- lage, which had a charming river me andering by it's outskirts. Here, in the bed of the stream, ;a 4,te,n-iaccd man cultivated a splendid crop of Watercress.
 The soldier, in anticipation O. faf : ternoon tea, sent his batman on Sun day to buy some watercress. He found the cultivator hard at work in the middle of the stream.
 "I want six pennyworth. of water cress," said the hatman.

in large natural game parks. It is understood that MT. Manley is al- ready in touch with the Lasky Moy- ing Picture Company for picturiza- tion rights of. such a spectacle, the first of it's kind ever conceived.
 In giving his reasons for such a vast undertaking, MT. Manley pointed out to the Dawson News recently that bears are overrunning the Yukon Territory at the present time and that they are becoming pests of the worst kind, even imperiling human life. Only a~short time agoaa, Forty mile sourdough came witrin an aceaof losing his life in terrific struggle with biy brown bruin. Again, bears are said to be most destructive to the fur supply of the Territory. They savagely destroy the beaver, dig out the ,muskrats, and consume large number of moose and caribou calves each season. The wolverine, eneie ota the meanest animals known, is also instrumental each year in the de- struction of large number of smaller fur-bearing animals. It. is known fact at Dawson that the wolves are also infesting the country in large numbers, slaughtering an enormous number of weaker animals for prey. Of these animals of destruction, the bear is in all probability the most ferocious offender, on account of it's power and size. Caches of prospect ors, miners, trappers and hunters throughout the country are always easy prey for these grizzled ma- rauders.
 "It is high time that something was done to exterminate these pests," con- cludes MT. Manley, land I sincerely. hope that my efforts to organize such movement may prove fruitful. The matter will be taken up with the Ca-4 nodian government upon my arrival in the East, and 1 expect that by next spring plans will be well under way for the big roundup of Yukon's most destructive pirates of the esforest."

"Thel elfur-farming possibilities, in k kAlaskaaare wonderful" declared Dr. sE. F.

Dr. Graves was in Cordova when the statement was made, having reached that city from a Sgeneral, tour of the Territory. He IS working south from there to Lu- lneau, accompanied hy Mrs. Graves.
 "The.. industry is really finding. it. self," he continued, land now. that the fox boom ins over. and. the industry stabilized, fur farming promises to be very lpFofitable=business in which to hes engaged. if properly conducted.
 That. by the way, is the big. fault that Hind with. the. present ranching Conditions. The foxes and fnr-bear- ing animals that I have studied and ehserved, nns the survey have been no worse than the animals I have seen in the Stafes, but I have seen far, too many inferior animals.

PREDATORY ANIMAL ROUNDUP
 SUGGESTED BY FRANK MANLEY

A gigantic plan for. the extermina- tion of, bears, wolves, coyotes and other predatory animals which are overrunning Yukon territory, has been suggested by Frank B. Manley, pioneer Alaska mining man, who re- gently has become interested in the development of placer holdings or Yukon river a short distance below Dawson. When he goes outside this fall he. will attempt to interest East ern capitalists in his big idea.
 The scheme of the we'll known old timer is to organize big party to come North, next summer for, thea sole purpose of chasing these destructive animals from their lairs into, the. Yukon river. Once driven. to- the. water, the energetic Northerner states that fast boats cam be- en- ployed to capture thu animals by means of ropes, motion pictures of immense value can be taken of the wild game roundup and then the an imals can. be disposed of es best seen fit.

MECHANICAL DETAILS NEW
 DIESEL TYPE ENGINE CLOSE
 LY GUARDED BY INVENTOR

DETROIT. Mechanical details and new Diesel type foil-burning air even closeup public view of the plane motor with which the Packard Motor Company is carrying on ex- perimentts here are being withheld until final tests of the motor are. made within the Packard laboratory.
 The motor, first of its kind, is; the iaventioasDf ,i Captain L. M. WaOlson, aeronautical engineer of the company. It is not a Diesel engine, but. Diesel type Of angine,p utilizing the principle of oil for. fuel. In the construction, Captain Woolson, it. is said, has ac- complishew hat many engineers have tried and failed to do--rednced the weight of the. power plant to less thAns three pounds per horsepower unit. '. Hanetofore the. lightest oil- hurning engine has, weighed 100 pounds,per horsepower unit, making it adaptable only to big power plants and boats..
 Captain ,Woolson has declined E., to discuss.details of his engine for pub ication, as. have others associated with theacompany's aviation depart ment.. The latter do say, however, that "what this means to the auto- motive industry, particularly aviation, has. .-beens only hinted at, if the fur ther tests bear out what the prelimi- nary. trials have indicated"
 The engine is radial, air-cooled type, and develops 200 horsepower.

which are to furnish the pelt crop should be turned out into large en- closure or upon an island, in order that they may have much exercise and hold fur at shedding time.
 q receive many communications from people who have received a false impression of riches to be gained in fur farming. These people wish to stake their all, in many cases, on a proposition with which they are entirely unfamiliar. My advice to people about to engage in the fur raising industry is always the same. It is hard work and constant work. No one should go, into it without being fully prepared, any more than one should engage in the in the paint ing business or grocery or banking. business, without first having an ap- premiership, as it were, and becom- ing thoroughly familiar with all phases of the game.
 Eur farming is just as much a phase of agriculture as any animal husbandry subject and the laws of Mendel apply to breeding fox and mink just as they do to cattle, swine and vegetables.
 "In a brief interview but few of the problems can bet ouched upon there are so many ramifications.
 q am. asked-or rather. told-fre- quently that the Alaska animals have no disease. My survey has not borne this view out. | have found the Alaskan foxes to be suffering from the same ailments that foxes do in the States. I have found entire ranches where fox diseases had practically wiped out their animals, yet the caretakers were. unaware that there was anything seriously wrong until the ranch was virtually ruined.
 "Fur farming in Alaska has reached such proportions that it is surely entitled to, be considered on an equal plane with fishing and mining, and deserves the same careful legis-- lative consideration.
 q am firmly convinced that Alaska needs a small demonstration and ex-- perimental fur farm to the working out of Alaska's fur problems. At such. a farm short courses would be: held ,, and it would do more towards co-op- eration and unity than any fur asso- citations have. Ranchers could come or send their managers to study and take notes and then return to their own ranches and put into effect the ideas which each considered practical and worth while in, his own needs.
 At such place Alaskans could meet in convention as a yearly affair and papers and ideas exchanged, all working for better fur and subsequent prices.
 'I have enjoyed the splendid hospi- tality extended me all over the route I have taken, and it, is with sincere regret. that | could not visit every ranch in the Territory. Some of the places are difficnlt to reach and so far distant that it was not practical to visit them"
