MORRISON PRAISES NIBLACK
 ISLANDS FINE FUR FARM

ISLANDS FINE FUR FARM
 The Niblack Island boys are just getting along fine" Andy Morrison told a Sentinel reporter this week. He referred to Harold Toleffson and Albert Carlson. fur farmers. An0y having attained 70 years of age. re gards any man under 65 a boy Whi.e those under 55 are mere children.
 The boys, he said, have the finest garden he has seen anywhere. They grow a wide variety of vegetables for their own use, with an abund- ance of rutabagas. carrots. turuips and cabbage for the mink. They have more small fruits such as strawblr- ries. raspberries, gooseberries and entrants, than they can possibly use.
 This year Carlson and Toleffson have contracted to sell 50 mink, be- sides their sales Of breeders MorTl son states that their arrangement of pens and general care of the mink is the best he has ever seen. A tiae wire mesh flooring for the pens makes it possible to keep the ami mals scrupulously clean. Running water is piped just outside the pens and each water cup is. filled three times a day. The boys have burlap sacks hanging from the top of each pen and the mink play in these all day long, chasing each other up and down, in and out of the sacks like so many kittens tumbling about. The exercise helps keep them in good condition and he believes is a vai> uable factor in the fine success Carl son and Toleffson are making of their mink.
 Tanning Wild Mink
 The wild fink of Niblick island, after two years of experimentation, have been tanned to the extent that they will come out on the bank, not far from the pens, and get the food which is left there whenever the pen mink are fed.
 The Niblack Islanders have had excellent results from the feeding formulas which they are using. They feed fish, cooked and raw, cooked vegetables mixed with powdered milk mainly. Their mink are of Yukon river strain, superior in every way, Morrison points out, to the wild mink of the Southeastern Alaska fr7l- fur like silk and a thin skin, sU that a coat made of pen bred mink is several pounds lighter than one made from wild skins. The super iority of the pen mink is shown by the market price which averages eight to ten dollars more skin than the wild mink.
 Mayor of Jensenville
 Morrison lives with Pete Jensen, Wrangell pioneer, who for the past eight years has been on the lower end of Brownson island, eight miles beyond the Niblack island boys who are 30 miles from Wrangell. Wher- ever Jensen lives. that spot auto matically becomes Jensenyi1le and he is always the mayor of Jensenyille.
 Morrison says he could not re fuse Jensen's invitation to live with him, it was put so delicately. Jensen said to him one day, Well, Andy, buried your old friend Jackson; now you come stay with me, and I'll bury you, too." Andy said put that way of course, he went. We are both very happy he states, Jensen, in looking forward to the day he will do the good deed and myself, looking frward to the day I'll have the gocd deed done to-"

Shorty and Bigboy, will meet Sher-
man Indian schools finest light
weights.

COCA COLA g
GIVEN CHANCE
AGAINST BUGS

Chances for a Coca Cola victory
over the Pittsburgh Pirates Sat
urday afternoon in El Centro hit
a new high today, whe MACK Stark
manager of the El Centre team an
nounced the Pirates would donate
a pitcher to the Bottlers for Sat
urday's game.
Stark has lined up fine infield
and outfield to match with the
power of the Pirates.
Pie Traynor, Pittsburgh manager,
indicated he would use Lee Hand
ley, high priced infielder, in Sat-
urday's game.
Without playing a single game,
or even putting on uniform young
Lee Handley rookie infielder, re-
ceiyed $4,000 from the Pittsburgh
baseball club for signing a contract.
That's a lot more than is paid to
the vice-president of the nation,
United States senators and repres-
entatives or the governors or many
states for an entire year of service.
He was signed from college by
the Cincinnati Reds, and after a
tryout on the spring training trip
of 1885 was optioned to Toronto,
in the international league, being
recalled in September. Last year
the Reds carried him until June 1.
In "a games. against major lea
que pitching, the youngster batted
.308. His first big-league home
run, made in May, defeated the
Brooklyn Dodgers, 3 to 2. Sent
back to Toronto for the remainder
of the 1886 season, Handley hit
.301 in 125 games and made a
dazzling record in other respects.
On three different occasions, he
hit safely twice in the same inning.
He went through 80 consecutive
games at second base in July with
out making an error, and with
Shortstop Eddie Miller he set a
new International record for double
plays in a schedule of l54 games.
A mad scramble for Handley's
services ensued when Commissioner
Lands denied the Reds any fur
ther title to him and ruled him q
free agent. Pittsburgh is conceded
to have landed a rare prize in win
ming the race for the flashy in
fielder.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 81.
UP)-"A few more of these exhi-
bition bali games," said the man,
land I'll be screwy. and ready for
trip to the forgot factory"
The man took a pull on his beer,
let the smoke from a two-for-fifty
cigar idle through his nostrils, and
gazed sadly at the ceiling. "Yes,
Sir" he said, They're driving me
nuts"
The sad man is a betting commits
sioner, and it's his business to lay
the odds on anything from midget
motorcycles to the Grand National.
Right now his customers want to
bet on baseball games-the exhibi-
ton games of the grapefruit league.
And he says they can't be figured.
Those screwy managers just
don't make sense" he moaned.
"They won't let the lineups alone.
You lay to on club, expecting
to be something like the one that
played the season last year, and the
manager runs in a bunch OF fuzzy
cared farm boys who couldn't hit
curve with broom, and couldn't
field gromder with basket. Or.
soon as team gets few runs
ahead, and you're figuring on the
dough you're going to. collect, the
manager puts in a pitcher who
couldn't fan me"
The sad gambler told a narrowing
tale of his experfnce in Daytona
Beach last Sunday when the Car
dinals locked horns. to use an old
baseball expression. with the De-
troit Tigers. The gambler had

Just three more guys to get out,
and this Winford, the Cards pitch

nobody but a crazy man will ever
know. he shooed Winford off the
hill and bawled to the bull-pen
for something named Ira Smith. ]
asked the guy next to me who
this Ira Smith business was and
he said he was rookie from Shah

The man started shaking SO, just.

Aces Challenge
YOung's HOnors

Hardin Young's domination of
midget races at the El Centro
speedway will end Sunday after
noon, according to Fred Salmen
and Hobart Herrick, but midget
officials paid little heed to the
threat of the two El Centro drivers.
Young ran away with the main
event last Sunday as he had three
Sundays previously. but Herrick and
Salmen were both forced out of the
event with motor trouble.
Herrick promised his car would
be in first class running order
Sunday and indicated he would
send his tiny auto around the
track at a record breaking clip.
Salmen also will have his car in
good shape and will be among the
money winners barring accidents.
Ewarthout and Davis can also
be counted in the running.

Sam Snead
Wins Praise
From Pros

AUGUSTA, Ga, Mar. 81. up
The name golfer of the fourth
annual Augusta National open may
be any of the fifty entries when
the show ends Sunday but as the
final practice ROUNDS were played
today the one big name was that
of Samuel Snead.
The one and only Robert T.
jones is here. So is the capable
defending champion, Horton Smith,
and a dozen other names, includ-
ing formidable Gene Sarazen.
But you don't hear Bob Jones'
or "Sarazen." You hear Sam
Snead." Bob thinks Sam is a
wonder. So does Gene who rates
the White Sulphur youngster the
greatest conner of a decade.
Hes the only man around to-
day who has consistent length
and consistent accuracy" Sarazen
said. I've seen them all but III
lay my Connecticut farm against
one of your sliced brassies that
right now Snead is the finest iron
player golf has yet produced.
THE betting book they have
here is a joke. In fact it's lot
of jokes. They've got Harry Cooper
down at 10 to l, and Picard and
Smitty and me at II to !. Those
odds are ten miles cat of line. But
anyway, let's say that Harry is
really a 10 to 1-Snead ought to
be three or four instead of l6."
Sam hears a lot of this talk
but laughs it off.
"Sure I'm hitting all right now,
Snead said, but you don't win
titles with practice rounds of 6s
or sixty anything else. Fact is
7 wish 1 could just go out and
play without any of this build-up
I'd be lucky if I could just team
up with a really good golfer and

The winner and new champion
Of the world. James J. Jeffries OF
Ohio"
Thirty one thousand screaming
fans shouted approval as the new
champion climbed from the ring
and the ex-champion. Bob Fitzsim-
mons walked YEARLY TO the dressing
rooms at Coney Island, New York.
Those screaming fans, on that
June night in 1899, had witnessed
one of the greatest bouts in the
annals OF ring history.
They had seen the champion,
noted for his powerful punching,
take a merciless lacing from the
challenger and had watched JEFF
fries gradually wear down Fitz, and
set the stage for the final kill in
the eleventh round.
Tuesday night James ]. JEFF
fries, now SO years old but nearly
as spry as he was when he annex
ed the heavyweight championship
of the world. will referee the
opening card of events at the
Brawley athletic club.
Jeffries is rated by many sports
writer's as the greatest fighter to
don a pair of gloves. and the Ohioan
hung one OF the finest records in
history.
He successfully defended his title
for four years and then was forced
to remain idle until 1905 because
there were no opponents to fight
him. He retired in 1905 and was
influenced to try comeback in
1910 against Jack johnson.
He failed and was knocked out
by the Negro in Reno in the 18th
round. That was his last fight.
During his years in the ring JEFF
fries won IL fights by k.o. seven
by decision, drew two and was
knocked out once.
Jeffries will bring down three
fighters for the Brawley card Tues
day night. These fighters, Jure
and Bacca have been training under
Jeffries and are rated the out
standing lightweights in southern
California.
Jure will meet Shorty Hogue In
the main event and Bacca viii
