Road Runner Unchanged From Ancient Time?

The long-legged road runner, bird
whose habitat is in the southwestern
part of the United States, has resisted
evolutionary tendencies and remained
practically unchanged since Pleisto-
Gene time, perhaps 100000 years ago.
according to University of Califor-
MIA graduate after a careful compar-
ison of the long-legged road runner
with those of similar birds found In
the Pleistocene tar beds of Rancho
La Brea, Los Angeles.
The study was made by Leigh Ma
rian Larson from specimens furnished
by the University of California mu-
scum of vertebrate zoology and by DR..
Loye Miller, professor of biology at
the University of California, at Los
Angeles.
In explanation of the problem pre-
sented by the road runner, Mr.. Larson
says:
ut may be assumed that the modern
road runner is the result of a marked
change from the remote common cuckoo
ancestry by gradually increasing leg
development with a corresponding re-

hour to an hour and a half to land

The broadcast attracted nation
wide interest, not only from amateur
fishermen, but from millions of radio
listeners as well. j. S. BOnar of
Middletown, N. Y, was the fortunate
angler and landed an S5-pound tar
pom after real struggle, described
SO wildly by Crosley and Brown, who
alternated at the microphone. The
boat used for the broadcast was
christened 1.-The Little WLW."
In addition to MessrS. CrOsley,
Brown and Bonar, the floating broad
cast station carried the following
party: David M. Newell, famous
hunter and sportsman of Florida /;
Johnny 'Sloat, champion tarpon angler
of Sarasota II. w. Booth, vice presi-

duction of the wing elements. AL
though Pleistocene is relatively close
to us geologically, there have been
faunal changes since then, and In
some instances, it is judged by some
students, evolutionary changes. The
bird branch of the theoretical evolu
tionary tree was the latest group to
separate from the reptilian stock. ard
so the evolutionary history of BIRDS Is
comparatively late. A degree of change
since Pleistocene might therefore be a
logical presumption, and it has been
proffered in some instances.
with reference to the road runner,
then, certain questions come to mind.
First, whether the Pleistocene road
runner had more powerful and there

road runner carried on further devel
opment since Pleistocene. or has II

FEWER HITTERS IN
BASEBALL TODAY
Ruth Exerting Big Influence
on National Game.

There is little doubt about it that
there are fewer good hitters in base
ball today than there were ten years
ago. although there are plenty of bat
tiers batting over the 800 mark. That
doesn't mean anything any more.
With the advantage of the lively
ball the player who can't hit 300 is
no hitter at all. The sacrifice fly
given when a runner is advanced any
base makes it easier for the batter.
So long as Babe Ruth can continue
to pound out home runs the men who
govern baseball are not likely to make
any changes with the ball because
Ruth's success means money. When
he is through there is likely to be d
change.
To substitute the old ball for the
one In use at present would be to
handicap Ruth and that would not be
good business.
Ruth has exerted a tremendous in
fuence upon baseball, but there is a
question as to whether it has been
healthy one. What will be the results
after he is through?
If there are any prizes for marks
manship on the links, Roy G. Miller,
member of Gowanie Country club,
would be eligible for first prize.
Approaching the eighth hole in a
friendly foursome, Miller lifted high
approach shot. When the ball started
it's downward flight another object
was seen to accompany it. Racing up
to the green, Miller came upon his
ball in trap alongside the green and
beside it lay backbird, dead. His
ball had killed it as it was flying over
the green.

Although Admiral Charles p. Hughes,
former chief Of Naval Operations, IN
his report for the fiscal year ending

that most of the units afaoat operated
with inadequate personnel" the Navy
Department, in the interests OF econ

elimination Of the influx Of recruits,
making loss Of $500 men o year. A
total Of $500 enlisted men existed last
year.
ITO provide crews for three new
cruisers. the old frigate Constitution,
and the new dirigible ZRS-S (Akron)
which will be commissioned In the next
year, 1877 men will be required" Ad-
miral Hughes asserted.
The admiral who retired recently
from the service, turning over his post
to Admiral william v. Pratt, details in
his report the activities Of the various
fleets. as well as enumerAttng the vari-
Gus craft in the service and their mani
fold duties. Admiral Hughes outlines
the new construction afoot and re-
marks that plans and specifications for
"a merchant vessels, to be constructed
under the terms of the merchant ma

and approved"
