 In light of the success of this method, the same procedure should be applied to other controversial fishing matters looking to the
 equitable utilization and the conservation of interests common to the United States and
 other nations Furthermore American com mercja fishing interests should observe the principle of supply and demand together with conservation and thus promote and support open and closed season regulations. Favorable : weather conditions like this season should not
 serve. as an excuse for creating supplies
 of fish or endangerng fish conservation.
 The Secretary's remarks not only evdenc that the authorities in charge of fisheries ar conversant with the many angles of maintaining th great industry. but they are mindful of protectio against foreign nvasion which had been heate topic this season The policy of protecting fur sea through international agreement the Secretar points out, has proven a successful one. There little doubt that equally satisfactory arrangemer can be worked out through the State Departmer for the protection of salmon.

1886 and he only played with the Mats
since June of that campaign.
But last season he could not
get started. With Mr.. Grit
fith's firm he played in 35
games and batted only 1852.
With the Red Sox he took a new
lease on life, played lib games,
batted .307.
So far the deal is fairly even. New
som won 1c games for a fifth place
ball club and Wes Ferrell grabbed ii
for siXth-place outfit Almada hit
,309 with his new team and Chapman
batted .307 with Boston.
Rick Better Than He Showed.
NOW comes Rick Ferrell. This was
one of Rick's poorer seasons, Of
fensively at least. Rick was hitting
.307 for Boston when he was traded
but he played in only 1S games. He
sustained q broken finger.
With Washington Rick never was
able to hit his stride at the plate. He
seemed to be satisfied with playing for
Mr.. G. but fractured and jammed and
split fingers held him back. He was
in &c games for the Senators and
batted only 229.
Baseball knows Rick Ferrell to be
a better player than his record with
the Mats would indicate. With the
two pitchers and the two outfielders
a toss-up, Rick, at any rate, means
the difference in the trade. Wash
ington got the better of it.
Rick Ferrell's 1887 performance is
not to be judged by the sometimes
harsh standards of the batting aver
ages. Behind the plate he represented
the smartest and most agile man
Griffith has employed since he let
Luke Sewell get away.
Kicks catching was a great
improvement over that of Cliff
Bolton, Hogan, Walter Miles
and others who tried to fill
Sewell's shoes.

so MUCH for Pitchers Newsom and
~ Wes Ferrell for the moment. In
the deal it was understood that Catcher
Rick Ferrell had been swapped for
Outfielder Ben Chapman. AS the
weeks and months sped past it became
obvious that Almada, the Mexican
kid who was tossed into the trade for
good measure, was worthy of rating on
an even footing with Chapman. Thus,
Rick Ferrell is to be dealt with as the
good measure" guy.
On ball club which has needed
outfielders for years, Almada was no
bargain. He received little chance and
what he showed, aside from de-
fensive standpoint, was nothing SEN
sational. When the Red Sox traded
him to the Senators he was hitting
exactly .236 for a2 games.
Harris liked the boy. Bucky liked
him for 1884, when Melo came up
as rookie and Harris was manag-
ing the Red Sox.
As result Almada was placed in
center field for keeps :. ;. against both
left and right handed pitching. He
played 100 games for the Washington
firm and at the end he had 1903
batting as a lead-off hitter. This ID
not to be sneezed OF.
