Alaska Trappers Made
 More Money Last Year
Received Higher Prices
 By Shipping to New York

In 1927 a number of Alaska trappers shipped their furs to the George I. Fox Corporation, New York.
 As a result, these trappers re- ceived higher prices for their pelts than they would have re- ceived if they shipped elsewhere.
 For the George I. Fox Corpora tion does business in way that assures trappers of higher prices MORE MONEY.
 In the first place, they pay the highest possible market prices. Then-and pay attention to this they pay an EXTRA 5oo on shipments of $50 and over
 In other words, if trapper's s furs are worth $2O0, he actually receives $210. The company pays this extra because it is the larg- est raw fur merchant in the East, and has a tremendous outlet for furs of all kinds.
 As trappers know, many houses charge a commission for handling and also deduct for shipping charges.
 The George I. Fox Corporation does none of these things. They pay every cent they quote-there are no deductions of ANY kind. Mnd they telegraph the cash the day the furs are received
 The company has been buying and selling raw furs for oyer 20 years. It has over a quarter mill lion dollars cash invested in busi- ness and refers trappers to any bank or commercial agency. Any trapper. who has not done business with the George I. Fox Corporation. should certainly send them . trial shipment. There is ncthing to lose and everything to gain. for, f he isn't satisfied with the compaly's offer, they return the furs at once and pay ALL shipping charges ROTH WAYS.
 Trappers at least she T wire the George I. Fox Co-Tc~ation collect and ask for Quotfticns cn whatever furs they have r1ady.

LARRY MAY FIT
 IN WITH YANKEES

Marty Krug, manager of the Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast league. thinks Lyn Iary, promoted from Oakland to the New York Yankees, will jump right into a more or less permanent job with the world champions. Krug. a well posted baseball man, has no hcsi- tancy in pronouncing the short stop ready for the big top. Marty suggests, however, that Manager Higgins will have to rearranga his infield to make a place for Lyn, as he is essentially a shcrt- stop and probably can not play second or third well enough to meet major league standards

BASE BALL DEALING
 UNDER DIFFICULTIES

] 0 h Il Dobbs, manager of the Birmingham club of the Southern Association and former major league outfielder, worked as hard as any man attending the eonven- ton Of the National Association at Toronto John did the bulk of his business the first day he reached the Ontario city, but one import ant transaction had to wait It was necessary for the boss of the Barons to get two fellow baseball men from widely separated parts of the country together with him to complete a deal in which he was much interested. The two men were members of different schools of habit. One never left his bed until it was dark and the other never remained out of bed long after dark. The task of lin- ing them up occupied all of the time of Manager Dobbs' not devot- ed to extolling the virtues of Chat tanooga as the next convention city of the National Association. Dobbs comes from Chattanooga. He finally won both arguments.
 Manager Dobbs likes ball play CTS to whom the game is real and earnest. He had a good ball player as a farm hand from a ma jor league club, but the athlete did not take the game so serious ly as Dobbs would like.
 At the end of the season the ma jor league owner asked the minor league manager if he would like to have the player for another season.
 T don't think so," Dobbs re- piled.
 Hes a good man, isn't he?"
 ''Yes, but he's enc of the type that whistles and sings after los ing a close game"
 The major league roster was then inspected for a possible sub- stitute for the whistler and singer.
 ''How about this fellow?" Dobbs asked, pointing to a name on the list.
 Hes all right" said the major league president. But he whistles and sings, too"

PORT DEPOSIT LOSES FIGHT
WITH RAILROAD COMPANY
Court OF Appeals Upholds Right OF
Railroad To Build En-.
hau1rr1ar,f
banlxrnent y

4 The Court Of Appeals, in an opin-
ion written by Judge T. Scott Offutt,
on Friday upheld the Philadelphia.
Baltimore and Washington Railroad
in its dispute with the Public Ser
vice Commission and the town OF
Port Deposit.
The railroad contends that it has
the right to relocate its tracks in
Port Deposit, the relocation to in
clude the building OF a fifteen-foot
embankment which would shut or
from the towns citizens a view OF
the Susquehanna river.
Following complaints from Port
Deposit, the commission refused the
railroad permission to relocate its
tracks at grade of thirty-five per
cent, with the consequent fifteen
foot embankment. The commission
ordered grade Of thirty-eight per
cent, which would mean the building
of an embankment about SIX feet
high in the upper section OF the
town.
In the bill of complaint OF the
railroad, filed in Circuit Court No. 2,
Baltimore. it was alleged that the
commissions order was unreason-
able and unlawful.
The railroad asked that the case
be referred back to the commission
for that body's approval without the
proviso regarding the increased
grade.
Judge Robert F.. Stanton held that
the standard for the grade is de-
tail committed to the management
of the railroad and is not subject to
restriction by the Public Service
Commission.
He granted the request of the
railroad, and dismissed a bill OF
complaint filed by the town commits
sioners Of Port Deposit.
An appeal was taken by the Pub
lie Service Commission, and it was
this case which was disposed OF in
the ruling.
