TORT MYERS, Fla, March
X 12.-The impression that a
flock of earnest young
4 athletes named "Joe" are
trying to plug the big gaps in
the varsity lineup of the Ath-
letics this year is rapidly being
dissipated.
Clustered around the tall spare
and gray-haired figure of base balls
patriarch Connie Mack, are rangy,
hard-hitting group of players headed
by the great Jimmie Foxx and a
youthful pitching staff that includes
some real possibilities despite
nCta BILE lack Of big league experience.
For Mack it's another great ad-
venture in reconstruction. The burly
figure of the home run king Foxx. in
camp today for the first time after
ending his hold-out siege, is the only
other real reminder of the last OF the
tall tutors championship teams. Con-
spicuously absent for the first time in
a decade are the broad -shouldered,
aggressive Mickey Cochrane, now the
pilot of the Detroit Tigers, and the
pitching big three" Walberg, Earn

a regular starting pitchers
berth in the impending Ameri-
ran League campaign. His work
i'm the first week of training has
been so impressive that Man
ager Joe Cronin has decided
Russell would be much more
valuable to the club as a starter
of games.
Weighing around 100 pounds
more than he ever did-and as hard
rs nails, the tall twirler looks to be
at the peak of condition right now.
He reported at camp in splendid trim
after sojourning several months in
Florida and says he is in the best
condition of his base ball career.
Russell was so frail the early part
OF last season that Cronin hesitated
to employ him at the outset of con-
tests and later, after toiling so often
in relief roles, the pitcher had no
chance to break in the detail of regu-
lar starters. Jack is a husky now,
however, and should be able to make
the grade nicely.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 20.
Turning grapefruit skins into rare
perfumes is the next big chemical
move Of the American citrus industry.
Nothing like grapefruit will these
new odors be. They will be violets,
rose hyacinths and possibly even the
very orange blossoms Of Florida and
California's best.
The process was explained to the
American Chemical Society yesterday
by E. K Nelson Of the United States
Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, Wash
ington. He did not cali it perfume,
but Florida grapefruit OIL
Fears Market Flood.
He gave the jawbreakine names of
the oils that Uncle Sans scientists
have been extracting from grapefruit
rinds-and 10. every one Of these
Juices was an essential OIL of the
perfumers' art. Out of the essential
oils the chemists fashion whatever
scents they please. and not only imi-
tate nature, but constantly try to i'm
prove her.
DR.. Nelson said grapefruit Gamers
use 100000 tons OF grapefruit an
nually. and estimated the peels from
this business would produce $4,000
pounds of oil a year The only draw
back is that so much might flood the
market.
Ninety per cent of the grapefruit

terials, would cost about $50 a ton.
The land now supplies plenty OF these
raw materials at about ST a ton.
Even If the Michigan brine wells
should run dry, the country still
would have an enormous source OF
magnesium in its dolomite deposits.
Nevertheless the sea-water airship
metal Is not altogether a dream. For
magnesium is already extracted COM
i1lercially from the sea. 1t is used to
make milk Of magnesia, a product
that sells for higher price than
structural metal.
Anesthetic Cost Cut.
Discovery of a cheap way of MAX
ing now costly anesthetic, said to
produce unconsciousness without sub
sequent nausea or harm to the body,
also was announced before the society.
The name of this anesthetic Is CYCLIC
propane.
Other virtues claimed for it are
that it can be shipped easily as a
solid substance and does not subject
operating rooms to hazard from fire.
Announcement Of the new way of
making the anesthetic was made by
DR.. H. B Haas OF the department Of
chemistry of Purdue University. DR..
