wolverine kill some sheep and do considerable damage to the caches of prospectors, miners, trappers and others. The figures in the fol- lowing table are arrived at from careful observation and investiga- tions extending over most of Alas ka during the past 21 months and from the concenSuS of estimates by Alaska Game Commission off ,ials, Forest Service officials, and others having knowledge of game conditions. If the situation with respect to the damage to game throughout Alaska is as serious as in the average of the sections in which investigations have been car ried on, the damage is annually much greater than given in the fol- lowing figures.
 Damage to Waterfowl
 In the migratory waterfowl nest ing areas of the eastern portion of interior Alaska, great damage is being done by coyotes to the young birds and the nests Few geese ire nesting any place in the sec- ion during the last 2 or 3 years, since coyotes have increased to a noticeable extent. Many thous- [ ands of them were formerly reared there. The ducks in this area suf- fer serious damage from coyotes and both duck and geese eggs are destroyed by the thousands.
 Great Area
 The area of Alaska is nearly as great as the combined areas of Cali fornia, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah and Arizona. When it's great area is considered, the figures shown below do not appear propor- tionately large. In fact it is thought that the actual damage done by predators in the Territory is more than $1,0O0,o0o a year at the valuations of the various spe- cies given in the following table
 Rodents Not Pests
 Rodents in Alaska are not an economic pest, rather they are an asset for they form an important part of the food for fur bearers. Their abundance where predators occur is desirable, for the latter do not prey so heavily upon the game and fur bearing animals, and waterfowl, if rodents are plentiful. Agriculture in Alaska is at present so limited that rodent control does not present a serious problem. Any control that may be needed will be entirely local in character and sim pie of administration.
 Coyotes and wolves are only very recently entering the reindeer areas. The annual loss of this stock will certainly mount rapidly for there is a heavy drift of coyotes, espec- ially, and wolves, toward the sec tion. This drift is now adjacent to the reindeer ranges
 Coyotes have drifted from the Stikine River, B. O., in 1899 to Kokrines on the Yukon River, in 1929, approximately 35 miles across country year.

CADMAN CONCERT
 WELL RECEIVED

 the Palace Theatre last night, Charles Wakefield Cadman, noted composer and pianist, and Madame Florence Beeler, mezzo-contralto, gave varied and delightful pro gram with a number of request selections, included. They were, as at the first concert Monday night, not only generous with their program, but charmingly gracious with their encores.
 Those attending the concert lase night were given the rare opportun- ity to hear Service composed by Cadman, sung for the first time in public. The number was con- posed at the request of several Service organizations in the States who wished to have song signify ing service. It is a ringing, in spirational song and was beautifully sung by Madame Beeler.
 The program was varied, though "The Pompadour's Fan," delicate little thing, supposed to represent a Victorian drawing room, com posed by Cadman, was as greatly enjoyed and enthusiastically ap- plauded as the Transcription of the Love Duet" from the opera, "A Witch of Salem" also by Cad man, but in an entirely different mood. Cadman played his "Ecs- tacy," Love Song" and Dance of the Basket Maidens," which he played on Monday night, again by request, the latter two were given as encores.
 Two other piano numbers which must be mentioned were ITO a Comedian" dedicated to Charlie Chaplin, and "The Caravan Cross es the Desert" an Arabian theme. In the first, which Cadman called idealized jazz and said must be taken as a joke entirely, one could visualize the antics of the adored comedian with his eccentric walk, frequent stumbles and occasional custard pies. The children at the afternoon concert delighted in this selection. The Caravan selection made one feel the camels, with bells around the leaders necks, travel ling over the hot, endless desert, and was extremely interesting. Mir. Cadman was helped in his instru- mental work by having a new pi- ano, with a tone incomparably bet ter than the one used the first night.
 Madame Beeler, beautifully gown ed in jade green, sang easily, clear ly and refreshingly last night. Her rich, flexible, voice seemed to lend itself to the varied moods of the different songs Anyone who had forgotten for a day how charming Madame Beeler is on the platform realized again how gracious and what an accomplished musician she is. She sang again, Spring Song of the Robin Woman" from Cad mans opera, "Shanewis;" T Saw Thee First When Cherries Bloom ed," and "As In a Rose Jar" and for encores gave "At Dawning," and for a last encore sang the favorite, The Land of the Sky Blue Water"
 Juneau music lovers felt bereft today when Madame Beeler and MT. Cadman left on the steamer Yukon for the States. All three concerts. on Monday night, Tues day afternoon and last night, were attended by enthusiastic audiences.

WASHINGTON, April l1.-Before we quit talking about Calvin Cool idge and what he did while he was in the White House, mention must be made of one more thing-he gave more animals to the National Geological Park in Washington than any other President.
 And this is not excepting Theo- dore Roosevelt, the famous hunter.
 Perhaps Coolidge's gifts to the zoo exceeded those of his prede- cessors because more animals were given him and Mrs Coolidge. Be that as it may, the fact remains that the zoo collection Of rare ani- mals was increased materially in the administration just concluded.

Semi-flnal, GO, 1912, 6-3. It was
due to the length Of this marathon

It is probable now that the final
of the doubles will be put over until
tomorrow afternoon, following singles
title play, as wet courts are expected
to prevent any play today until late

END GETS HIS FUN
CONFUSING TACKLE
FIankman Has Advantage in
Increasing War Between
Rival Linemen.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Up on the plains Of West Point they
are bending lot of energy these days
to the building Of tackles and ends.
They better had. A long, long trail into
the far reaches Of December lies ahead
of the Cadets and much will depend
upon the number and quality of wing
men and tackle specialists available as
regulars and requirements.
Give a team high-clasS ends and
tackles and, granting mediocrity else
where, that team will go far. Watching
the candidates at work recently, the
writer's impression that the job of the
end is joyous and that Of the tackle
less so seemed to be confirmed. Tenn
peramentally an end should be prying,
curious sort of chap who gets the big
gest kick in life out Of making foot
ball game trying experience for the
tackle in the opposite side of the line.
The ends role is that of a human
gadfly, and the extent to which he
can worry, annoy, bedevil and confuse,
is the measure of his greatness as a
wing artist Succeeding greatly IN his
task, he has the tackle in state of
mind where the big fellow hardly re-
members that his function Is to get
through, bre ak up interference and nab,
if he can, the runner.
In all games involving personal con-
tact there is hardly anything more
scientifically engaging than the I'M
ceasing war between tackle and end in
this modern game of foot ball. And, as
said, the end has all the fun, especially
when his team is on attack. He knows
when the ball is to be snapped; and
the position he occupies is more favor
able for maneuvering. He can shift
and feint and fill the tackles mind
with uneaSineSs. Sometimes he Is big
enough and strong enough to drive the
tackle out of the way, but, assuming
he is not he can always be underfoot,
If he is a good end, blocking the man
from ankle to knee.
Doing all this and doing 1t well, the
end is of priceless value to his team,
and when he doesn't do it we'll, then you
see the back coming in to help him.
And that is the tip-off as to the ability
of your end, or. on the other hand, 1t
may be more than a hint as to the
greatness of the tackle upon whom the
end is trying to work. You cannot tell
about that always. Anyway, II the back
has to come up to the wingman's as
the teams game Is hurt pro-
because of the withdrawal
of a man who ought to be operating on
the secondary defense. So it will be
seen that this job of developing ends
which they are working on up at the
Point Is an important one, but, at that,
it has less complications than the
tackle-building Job

|HERE are brides and hobbies,
and syndicate golf. and poker
golf, and auction bridge golf, and
Il other methods of laying a small
wager on the game as it Is played
around Washington. But Jimmy Cor.
coran of the Washington Golf and
Country Club has brought a new game
he learned 1t a few weeks ago after a
trip across the country on the rail-air
route. It is called trap golf." and
Corcoran introduced Arthur Sinclair
and Mac" Hood into the lodge OF trap
golfers yesterday at the washington
Club.
The sole virtue of the game, it seems,
is to be able to keep out Of the traps
which are plentifu1ly sprinkled over
covered by the golf course of the Wash
ington Golf and Country Club. The
vices of the game include getting into
traps, in the first place, and the number
of strokes taken to get out of them in
the second place. Now the Washington
Golf and Country Club course has its
share of traps, and not all Of them are
completely innocdouS. Getting out OF
some of them is an art. But Corcoran
has been in them often enough to know
the knack of getting out cat least that
is what v. Calvert Dickey claims.) And
so, when this trap golf game came along
he knew how to play 1t. The conSe-
quence was that Sinclair and Hood
were not so adept at getting out OF
traps as Corcoran, but they know about
1t now, even though experience comes
high, and they are getting ready for
another whack at the man who brought
the game to Washington. 1t would be
an interesting game to play at An
napolis Roads, where the traps are from
IL to IA feet deep and getting out OF
them is quite an art.
Boobies" are played by many of the
golfing gentry at Columbia. They are
only played on the one-shot holes, and
when they are played the man who gets
on the green at the one-shot holes col
lects from the other gents who do not
reach the putting surface; Syndicates
are we'll known. So is poker golf, but
bridge golf is quite another matter. and
can run into considerable money If the
hazards on a golf course are plentiful
and hard to negotiate. In bridge golf
player bids e. certain number Of strokes
for the hole. If he exceeds his bid, he
pays the other players in the match
according to the number Of strokes he
takes over his quota. With doubling
and redoubling it makes quite game,
but the intricacies of the bookkeeping
are rather involved.
Comdr. c. T. Lynes of Washington Is
responsible for a new phrase in this
many-angled game. He hit putt yes
terday on the ninth hole for 2. which
ran around the upper edge of the cup
and dropped in the back Of the hole.
well, finally got one in" Lynes said.
I'm the family entrance" That's new
one to desribe the way the ball rolls in
the back edge Of the cup.
Capt. w. j. Clear is hot on the heels
of Ralph S. Fowler and Erwin p. Hair,
who are tied for first place in the ringer
competition at the Washington Golf
and Country Club. Fowler and Hair
have selected score totals Of Sc, while
Clear, coming from far in the rear, has
selected score Of SO, and needs only
a brace Of brides to overhaul the lead
ers. Russell C. Jewell is in fourth place

LYTELL TO HANDLE
APACHE GRID SQUAD

Apaches. one of the strongest Of the
independent foot ball teams around
Washington, will have the added ad-
vantage of being coached by Lieut.. Will
liam (BilD Lytell, former grid star at
Central High and at Lehigh University.
Lytell is expected to play as well as
coach the Little Indians. He is sta
toned at Fort Washington and will join
his charges at Union League Park to-
night to assume charge. His position
on the team may be that of tackle or
guard, both of which he has played
effectively. Tackle is his regular post,
however.
Four other possible additions to the
Apache lines include George McCabe,
quarterback for Georgetown University
in 1927: Jerry Carroll, G. U. captain
and guard last year; Tom Farrell, form
er Gonzaga High end and, Murphy, a
fullback, who got his training with the
post eleven at Fort Washington.
