RIVALS MEET AGAIN
HERE NEXT SUNDAY
Series to be Resumed on Adams
Field With Putnam Out
to Even Count
North crosvenordale and Local Fans
Show Intense Interest

although rain last Sunday after
noon necessitated the postponement
OF the scheduled second game Of the
Silk Sox-Over the Top series, there
has been during this week no loss OF
interest in the contest, and hundreds
of fans are eagerly awaiting the
game this Sunday afternoon, when
Putnam's nine will attempt 70 even
the series at a victory apiece.
North Grosvenordale partisans,
taking issue with some Ct the com
ments in the Patriots "Sport Chat"
Of last week, have several comments
10 make concerning the first game OF
the Putnam rosvenordale baseball
series, as well as representations
/. Cor the second game, which will be
played Sunday, IL the weather per
mits. after having been postponed
from last Sunday.
Nelson or Reddy7
The comments from North eros
wenordale particularly concern the
suggestion that Reddy seemed to
have the edge over Nelson in defen-
awe work in the first game. They
sonsider Reddy's alleged blocking
tactics more suitable for football
than baseball. and recall that Nelson
wes hitting the ball harder during
the afternoon than Reddy. Gros-
venordale fans also have plenty to
say about Manager Francis Murphy,
but that is nothing unusual on the
part of rapid followers Of the Over
the Top team. Any manager is al
ways the readiest target for verbal
buttering. and particularly such a
fiery, colorful manager as Murphy.
Fans in the mill village also make
Ailusion to an umpire change en- the
part Of the Putnam management
sven after certain officials mad been
agreed upon for the series before
the start Of the games.
IL goes without saying that those
who rally around and roct for the
Silk Sox have just as many state
ments, illusions and criticisms 10
make toward the rival nine as those
suggested above. Possibly, also, the
Patriots "Sport Chat" during the
past few weeks has seemed TO re-
fleet some of these comments.
Expect Spirited Game
1t is incredible that series of
games could be played between two
teams where the rivalry is as intnse
as between the Silk Sox and the Over
the Top nine without the game of the
past week being "hashed over" in a
partisan way and prospects for next
week being discussed in the same
light. And yet the spirit Of the oe-
casion is, on the whole, most excel
lent. The teams representing the
two places are strictly home town
combinations. the players are out
there for love Of the game more than
for any other consideration, and the
schedules they play throughout the
season are of such a calibre as to
furnish their respective communities
with good baseball.
Next Sundays game has all the
prospects Of being a great contest,
and Of attracting a big crcwd TO Ad-

 Sweeping Demands for Big Increases

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Or- ganzed agriculture yesterd ay threw it's weight behind a move ment for sweeping increases in the tariff rates of all classes of farm products.
 Appearing before the Housa Ways and Means Committee on the fourth day of the hearing on agri- culture, Represc natives of the Farm Bureau Federation and Ma tional Grange, joined in appealing for higher protection on scores of commodities.
 Chester Gray, of Washington, representative of the American Farm Bureau Federation, declared it is his belief that tariffs on raw farm products will not necessarily increase the price over the retail counters but will protect the Amer. ican farmer from the foreign low cost producer. If the American farmer is to be protected from competitors abroad who have the | lowest cost, there will be enough efficiency and competition among our farmers to supply food, cloth | ing and shelter for our people at a reasonable price"

frogs will be skipped from Ores 3p ta small islands of soatheasIeFn Alaska and planted in the flespaf ponds. Small islands were chosen because results can be ascertained better.
 If the experiment proves suc- cessful, general importation will follow. It is believed frogs can survive even the cold winter of northern Alaska.
 Another war against pests will be made on Atka island of the Aleutian oh ain in southwestern Alaska. Ermine will be sent to combat rats. The first of these rodents landed years ago from wrecked ship and, unchecked, have become exceedingly numerous. The fur-bearing animals will be used in another experiment to check tha spread of pests in the Territory.

VIEWS ON RADIO

Gov. George A. Parks reached Seattle yesterday from Denver and will sail tomorrow on the steam CT Queen for Juneau, according to advices received by Harry C.. Watson, the Governors Secretary. The vessel Is scheduled to arrive here next Sunday.
 The Governors views on the need for increased radio com munication facilities in Alaska were broadcast last night in the news releases over KOMO at Seat tie. In this the need for the development of cheaply manu- factured radio transmitter cap able of being operated at a low cost was declared to be one of the pressing needs of the Terri tory. Such equipment, the Gov ernor believes, will prove great boon to the isolated mining set dement's in remote interior and far northern regions which now are forced to depend on lrregu- lar and infrequent mail service for their communications
 Transportation, Gov. Parks has pointed out, is for the first time ahead of communication in those |sections. Airplanes operating out of Anchorage, Fairbanks and Nome are responsible for this condition. The Governor hopes for the. establishment of addi- tional radio stations by the War Department to augment the sys- tenn now operated by the U. 5. Signal Corps, and the coastal stations of the Navy.

 This web-footed creature will be introduced into the territory by the Alaska division of the United States Bureau of Education in an effort to aid miners and others to combat the pest. The big green and brown frog long has been not ed in Oregon as the natural enemy of mosquitoes.
 The eroak. of the frog has been unknown in Alaska and Jonathan II. Wagner. superintendent of the Alaska division of the bureau, be. lieves that it is partly because of this lack of frogs that mosquitoes have become so numerous.

HARDING GOES
 ]. IN MONDAY AS FEDERAL JUDGE
Oath of Office Is Administ- cred by Clerk John H.
 Dunn at 4 P. M.

Justin w. Harding, for the past two years United States District Attorney for the First Division yesterday took his oath of office las Judge of the Federal District Court for the same Division. His commission was received late yes terday afternoon and the oath was administered by John H. Dunn, Clerk of the District Court
 Only few persons were pres ent at the ceremony Among those attending were Mrs. Hard | ing and their two children, Jus tin Jr., and Mary Campbell J. iC Mcbride, Collector of Customs; United States Marshal and Mrs Albert White; United States Com missioner and Mrs. Frank A. Boyle; Assistant United States tAttorney H. D. Stabler, recently nominated by President Coolidge to succeed his chief, and George w. Folta; and a number of De- putty United States Marshals and Deputy Clerks of Court.
 Reappoint Officials
 Judge Harding this morning announced the appointment of MT. Dunn as Clerk of Court. John H. Newman, Court Reporter, was also reappointed to that position. MT. Dunn has been Clerk of Court since 1921, being appointed by the late Judge T. M. Reed. MT. Newman has held his position for the past two years.
 Regarding the appointment of United States Commissioners for the various precincts, Judge Harding had little to say He had given matter but little thought. h $&ic. and was not ready to mSke any announce ments in this regard at the present time.
 Asked relative to the possibil- |ity of making a temporary ap- pointment to fill the office of District Attorney, left vacant by his elevation to the bench, Mr. Harding said he did not believe 1 it was necessary at this time. Mr. Stabler was recently nominated for the office and his eonfirma- tion is expected in the course of few days. However, should anything arise before that time that called for the action of a District Attorney, matters that could not be handled by an as sistant in that office, Judge Harding said he would give MT. Stabler temporary appoint ment.
 Vacation for Ketchikan Immediately after he took the office yesterday, Judge Harding signed an order vacationing the Ktechikan term, called for this month, until February IS. At that time, it is expected that Judge E. Coke Hill will come to the First Division to hear crim- inal cases which were initiated by the Government during Judge Harding's tenure as United States District Attorney. Judge Hill is now holding a term at Anchorage
 and will come south as soon as | that iz fir+chad
 The first order having to do
 with any case pending in the
 local court was signed this morn-
 ing by Judge Harding for k. E.

 firming the sale of the Lake Bay
 cannery of F. c. Barnes X Com
 pany to the Judgment creditor,

 of Potralnd, Ore, which was rep
 resented by Mr. Robertson.
