cult problem has been accomplish
 ed in Nebraska under supervision
 of the state game commission. The state has hit upon a way
 of raising this great pan fish from
 spawn thta should be of value to other commonwealths desiring to plant the fry of the cat in streams and rivers to furnish fun for their
 anglers.
 Here's the way it's done: Adult cats are taken from riv- CTS and placed in spawning ponds, which contain muddy water about 40 inches deep. Nests made of nail kegs, weighted with cement
 and gravel, are placed in the ponds, and in these kegs the fish spawn.
 A close watch is kept on the
 nests, and inspectors are able to
 tell by motion of the water in the
 vicinity of the nest when the male to prepare a spawning bed. After
 the spawn is deposited. the eggs are taken out and placed in a
 wire basket and set fin matching
 trough containing river water at about so degrees Fahrenheit. over each basket is a vane or , paddle, which, moving back and forth, churns up the water and provides aeration necessary to
 matching. After nine or ten days, tiny fish
 emerge. and they drop through the mesh of the wire basket in
 which the eggs were contained in-
 to feeding trough below. After four months they are
 ready to be planted in rivers and
 lakes to shift for themselves.

TRENCHES ENJOY :. FIELD DAY AS
 ALL-STARS WIN

Hundreds of people found their way to the Platts Mills Recreation Field yesterday where a banner field day was enjoyed. There were many events including ball game in which the rejuvenated St. Ann All-Stars triumphed over the Old Timers of the French parish by 9-7 score in a slugging match.
 Father Laurion gave a fine ex- hibition on hitting and pitching, clouting a three-bagger off Four nier's delivery and holding the All Stars in check, but poor support by his mates proved to be his downfall. Other events and win ners include:
 Boys senior high jump-Bour- nival.
 Boys junior race-Edgar Ther- oux.
 Boys senior race-Ray Rompre. Girls junior race-Miss Promo vost.
 Old timers rase-Mr. Veneraux. Rev. Father Laurion wishes to extend his thanks to all who were there yesterday, but especially those who did their part toward helping the club.

The Yankees, weak and jittery from their narrowing experience in Detroit, appear at League Park Cleveland, today without an ann bulance in sight. The visit at De- troit, concluded yesterday, brought to mind several road disease symptoms which the Yankee re- call from their last trip through the west.
 Lost The Lead The last invasion of the mid- lands resulted in four victories in twelve starts for the New Workers. They were leading the league when they started out, and in second place when they came home. On the current trip, that cycle has been compressed into a single week.
 The Tanks have won two games in five; they started in first place, and now are in second, a game and a half behind the Tigers. It is beginning to look exactly like one of those affairs that are now referred to by Yankee sympathiz- CTS as That disastrous Western | trip"
 Yesterday they lost the last game of the series to Detroit, mak- | ing the count three lost and one won. "Schoolboy" Rowe, who did | his baseball homework sin the | Ozark Hills, once again made the Ruppert rifles look like plugged bee-bee guns. It was the second | time in four days that MT Rowe l operated on the Tanks. Mean while, Col. Ruppert's educated playboy, Johnny Murphy of Ford ham, was having his offerings smacked all over Maven Field. The closing figures were S-3 for De- troit.
 The Washington Senators exper- fenced a double dose of sadness at Cleveland, where they were rammed deeper into the second division by scores of 10-S on both ends of a double bill. Boston stayed with the leaders, | splitting with St. Louis. They won | the opener 12-S and lost the night | cap, 9-3.
 One Club Gained l The Athletics were the only
 Eastern club to profit heavily.
 They engineered a twin killing with the Chicago White Sox. 11-7 and 10-5. Bob Johnson hit his | twenty-seventh homer in the open
 CT, taking the major league lead,
 but wrenched his side in the night
 cap and was forced to retire.
 The Giants, playing at home,
 evened things with the cubs, beat
 ing Chicago 5-3. Mel Otis double,
 driving in Critz and Schumacher.
 marked the winning runs. Carl
 Hubbell relieved Schumacher in
 the seventh when he was ready to
 falter and stopped the cubs cold.
 Double Whitewash Waite Hoyt, of Pittsburgh, and Ed Brandt of Boston, turned in ,, two shutouts, splitting a double bill. Hoyt polished the Braves in
 the opener, 50. allowing but one
 hit, with only thirty batters facing
 him. Brandt gave the Pirates three
 hits in the nightcap and won 40.
 St. Louis socked the Dodgers
 twict, 20 and 6-3, plunging them
 into seventh place below the rising
 Phillies. Dizzy Dean pitched the
 shutout and hit a homer in the
 eighth to help win his game. I Fidgety Phil Collins stymied the
 Cincinnati Reds, the Phils winning,
 9-1, going into sixth place.

PLAIN NURSERY FAILS
 TO HANDICAP INFANTS

Recently I listened to gentle man. who explained with enthusi- asnp the effect of color on children, the psychology of soothing shades and the gradual rising of tone in accordance with age.
 Likewise I observed the art ex- hibit, children's vrayons and paint ings showing how small folk un- guided and untrained can express themselves in color. This, I'll say, was marvellous.
 Recently I was treated to an ex- hibition of baby trousseaus and nursery furnishings in pastels that would grace a morning in heaven. Soft color, it seems, is mo neces- sary to a baby's nerves and happi- ness. A And yesterday read what an authority had to say about special walls, rug designs and scepitlly- made blinds, as well as sectional furniture that could be added to each birthday and so on. All of which makes people a bit more conscious of the places in which little people sleep, play and live.
 On the Oother. Hand
 But let those of us who cannot manage it that way dry our tears. The vast majority are doing pretty we'll to have a good roof and a milk bottle on the doorstep, coal in the cellar and shoes on the run grounds. If bedclothes and floors are clean and the walls wiped down, many mothers feel they have done their utmost, and they have.
 As for color-yes, I'll grant that it's peculiar combinations are de- lightful in a child's eyes. A baby in a red room might react unfar- orably to the inevitable glare. And a four1year-old probably would get bored and weary in an eternally gray room with drab toys. How ever, children are outdoors a lot. Except in unfortunate districts there is good bit of color in the world, almost any variety you like from the soft pastels of the sky to the red cars on the street and the yellow dahlias in a neighbours yard.
 How About Last Generation? We of the old guard who slept in cradles beside the "big" bed, and grew up surrounded by heavy Nottingham lace curtains, our feet pattering over brown Brussels car- pets, and enveloped by wall papers large gilt designs, managed to wangle along some way. All the pinks and blues we had were prob ably satin bow somewhere that was yanked off after the second washing and the emotional excite ment of the new baby was over.
 We have also managed, I think, not only to retain our apprecia ton of color, but some of us have gone on to the connoisseur class and flatter ourselves that we know a lovely thing when we see it. Per haps this is the very reason, be- cause we weren't weary of tones. Or perhaps the very awfulness of our conglimerate houses was a lesson to us.
 Actually, I am sure the color promoters are doing needed pio- neer work, and it is as often as cheap to get the beautiful as the ugly. But lest any mother look over the plain little crib and mon- kish- plain cubicle with discourage ment and misgivings because there are no cloud effects, let her sleep we'll. Her baby will be neither color blind nor a moron. He might even grow up to be a specialist on home furnishings.
