KODIAK, Alaska, Dec. 27.-Three distinct quakes were felt here al 2;59 o'clock yesterday morning. The last shock was of enough force to shake buildings and knock dishes off shelves. No damage to buildings is re- ported.

National league baseball men, casing their aching arches around the hotel lobbies of New York , carly in December, already antici- pate another wide-open struggle @for the 1881 pennant.
 Most of them doubt the Cardi- . nals will repeat their great dash down the stretch of 1880 to win |'They regard the Chicago Cubs as dangerous, but also as unlikely to land on top. By this process of elimination, they figure New York and Brooklyn will wage bitter war fare as possible co-favorites. Pitts burgh, the lobbyists say looms as the dark horse" since no dis cussion of pennant prospects is <. complete without the entry of shadowy animal.
 Tell me who's going to win the National league race and I'll check mate you by naming the club that will knock the Athletics off the top in the American league,' re- marked a manager.
 - "The Washingtons were a sur prise this year and may repeat. Joe sMcCarthy will help the Tanks. Cleveland and Detroit have possi- { bilities, but none of these clubs has the stuff to match the As. V Connie Mack has a lot of medi- core ball-players but in the main positions he has a handful of super stars. There's Big Moose Earnshaw and Big Smoke Grove firing birdshot at your batsmen every other day. There's that Coch- rane behind the bat and if there's anything he can't do with base |. ball I don't know what it is. Then there's those two big seekers, Foxx ,and Simmons, breaking up the ball games.
 |. T say Connie can afford to worry along with a few mediocre .players. He will probably worry anyway. He likes to, but I know seven other managers who would like to stay awake nights worry ing about what Grove, Earnshaw. Cochrane, Foxx and Simmons would do the next afternoon" | I How was EarnshaWS arm hold ing on while he was finishing his iron-man stunt in the last game of the worlds series?" some one asked Connie Mack
 His arm was all right but it was his foot bothering him." re piled the veteran leader He was in pain every time he pitched. He said his arm never felt better but toward the end of the game the , fcot bothered him so much he be- gan to lose some control"
 "A Big Ten Alumnus," sounding "a jarring note in the countrywide acclaim for Notre Danes football achievements, suggests restraint in bestoWlng laurelS on the Rough Riders inasmuch as they did not meet Alabama, Washington State, Michigan, Princeton, Yale, Harvard or Purdue.
 No doubt this was an oversight on the part of Professor Rockne. Still, to satisfy any remaining crit ics and due to the limitations of time and space, he might offer to play an all-star team picked from these institutions. The whole thing is very regrettable, indeed, and we can picture the chagrin, say st Princeton, for example, over the neglect to make arrangements for p a game with Notre Dame this year.

F0RM0SA HUNTING
 0F VARIED NATURE
Natives Seek Heads, Americans
 Look for Camphor

Washington. D. C.. Nov. o1- "Formosa, officially Taiwan. where Japanese police are expressing an- other uprising of savages, is the source of about two-thirds of the Camphor imported by the United States says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic Society.
 "Formosa is a rugged, oval-shap- ec island about aj large as Mary land and Rhode Island combined, lying off the Chinese coast of Hong kcng.
 Camphor and Skull Hunting
 "Many of the natives are adept collectors of human skulls. They in- habit the eastern portion of the island where camphor trees now are sought 10 thwart American moths and fever blisters, and to make American movie films,' continues the bulletin.
 During the middle Of the last century, Chinese farmers were too frequently decapitated by saVages. The Chinese Government, which then controlled Formosa, built a hundred mile fence between the wilderness and the civilized farming country in the western coastal zone. As the camphor trees within the fence were exhausted the barrier vas moved farther into the wilder ness. Natives protested by adding

more skulls to their large collections which usually repose on shelves outside the doors of their huts. Sec tions of the fence were charged with electricity. but farmers living near the fence continued to Iose their heads.
 Tn 1895 Japan took over the islands and iu 1910 organized a concerted campaign to subjugate the head-hunters.
 CamphOr Hunters Guarded
 ''The head collecting habit among the savages may be charged to the tribal women folk. A native girl will not listen to the pleadings Of d suitor until his skull shelf is graced by at least one skull and the more skulls he cGn display, the greater is ha popularity among savage flap pers Shelves with more than hundred skulls have been found in the Formosan vilds.
 Freshly severed heads must be displayed at festivals and religious rites. If the tribesman is unsuccess- ful in climbing the fence or digging his way under it, he brings in the head of ghboring tribesman.
 Guarded gates at frequent inter- vals along the barrier are opened to permit trading with the savages. Savages are not permitted to enter foreign territory and foreigners are permitted to enter the wilder ness only by permission of the Jap anese police and when accompanied by competent guards. And even the skulls of guarded camphor hunters stare at tribesmen as they enter their huts.
 Western Coastal Zone Is Civilized
 Japanese order and efficiency mark the civilized western portion ot the island. From the window of railway train which runs from tn northern tip of Formosa southward through the coastal zone. the trav- eler sees clean, quiet villages and towns, surrounded by miles of flood co rice fields, sugar and tea planta- tions. In recent years Formosa has produced 25,000.000 bushels of rice 900 tones of sugar and 12,00t tens of tea.
