DR.. J. r. Weir Takes Improved
Far East Rubber Into Brazil
Explorer Tells HO,U He
Helped to Reuipe
Amazon CrOiUth.

IN 1876 Henry Wickham sailed
away from Brazil to England with
several thousand seeds Of the COM
mercial rubber tree safely smuggled
oboard, and with him went the wild
rubber industry of the American
continent.
The seeds. brought away in viola
ton of Brazilian law, were developed
IN the hothouses of Royal Kew Gar
dens and then transplanted to Far
Eastern Malaga, where huge rubber
estates we're created that soon crushed
the Amazon Valley output by their
quality and quantity of production.
Fifty-seven years later DR.. James
Robert Weir. American explorer. SCI
enlist and then agricultural adviser of
the Ford Motor Co., was bringing
back to Brazil some of the choicest
and highest yielding seedlings of the
Far East, and the rubber industry
was once more established on the Rio
Tapajos, on the automobile company S
eStateS-Wlth much higher yieldlne
plants than those Wickham took away
They passed law against export
of the Far Eastern trees shortly after

rington Hotel yesterday, adding: Il
got away with IS clones-a clone is
the term for the progeny of single
high yielding mother tree"
Unfolding the tale of the return
OF rubber to the Western Hemisphere
DR.. Weir, who as pathologist in
the Department of Agriculture spent
some time in Washington, declared
that Wickham was Just downright
lucky"
Practically our major difficulty in
growing rubber in the Amazon River
region Is due to fungus that attacks
the trees" he said. "Wickham did
not introduce the disease into the Far
Evening star., 1938-07-20

East at all despite the fact that the
disease can be carried on the seeds.
AS result" he went on, the
trees brought from those estates have
no resistance to the disease, and our
problem was to cross the imported
trees with the more resistant native
varieties and thus derive a high yield
ing but also disease-resisting plant"
The scientist pointed out, however,
that there was also other rubber be-
ing produced or teing cultivated by
another rubber company in Panama
near Gatun Lake and in Costa Rica.
Rubber can be grown in Mexico
and to the South, he said. In fact,
1t can exist in Fbrida.'
Dr. Weir, who las taught at Har-
ward and received his doctors degree
at the University Of Munich, is the
brother of Lebert H. Weir of the Ma
ton Recreation Association, who five
years ago made ar exhaustive survey

Fritz" Crisler takes the job of foot

of athletics at the University of

Kipke was fired while back.
Crisler came first to the confer

high school but he soon showed he
could do it in college. He became

he became head coach at Mime

years ago Princeton signed him.

nament held annually at Augusta,
Ga, early in April. Concerning the
ancient Scottish game generally, he
had this to say:
"Golf as game has come a long
way. You have got to play at it con.
stantly to win tournaments. Clubs
have improved and the game is
more uniform today than it was sew
eral years ago. And you have more
good players. There'n be at least
twenty players, perhaps more, fully
capable of winning the masters

Age Creeps On

After they passed the age of twen-
ty-five, they began to be resigned,
but kept plugging along anyway.
Scouts who might happen to see
them pitch would say: They're
good bushers, but not big time cali
Der. Too old. Not enough Zip"
Turner had a try in the big
leagues at the tender age of seven
teen, in 1924, when he made the
spring training trip with the Boston
Red Sox. But that was the nearest
he got to fast company until the
Bees grabbed him early last year.
He believes he was a pitcher of
major league dimensions as far
back as 1890.
"About that time I learned to use
my head as well as my ARM" he
explains, sand I think could have
made good in the majors any time
after that"
But the scouts continued to ignore
him and Fette until McKechnie got
the bright idea they might help him
at Boston. Other big league man.
ayers grinned when it was an
n0unced that these elderly rockies
were pitching for the Bees. But
the grins faded when Jim and Lou
Outguessed their star batters and
began chalEng up record that
would do credit to Dizzy Dean or
Carl Hubben.
So at an age when most major
league pitchers are ready to hang
up their gloves and call it quits,
these two old-timers are eagerly
awaiting the seasons opening.

Baseball Fatalists

Neither pitcher expects to dupli-
cate his 1887 performance, for they
are baseball realists and know that
bad breaks, poor support, injuries
and any one of a number of things
can turn the tide against them. But
they don't expect to have a poor
season. They think they have bet
ter chance of getting by the jinx
than lots of young fellows because
of their experience, maturity, at
tention to keeping in condition and
their complete lack of over-confi-
dence. During the winter, Turner
kept himself in shape by working for
a dairy in his home town of Molens-
vile, Tenn. Fette, over in Alma,
Mo-, did chores around the farm,
went hunting and hiking and kept
down to pitching weight.
1t was due to the astuteness of
Bill McKechnie, then manager of
the Bees and now pilot of the Gin
cinnah Reds, that Turner and Fette
were rescued from the American
association in 1887. He gambled on
them and they paid out.
Turner pitched for Indianapolis
and Fette for St. Paul. Year after
year they worked, not getting a nod
from the big leagues. Neither was
spectacular. Neither had much col
or. Both had fair speed, an average
curve and good control. Both won
their share of games.
But when major league scouts
dropped into the ball park, it wasn't
Turner or Fette they were looking
at, but some fashy youngster. Both
these veterans have lost count of the
rockies that dashed past them into
fast company.

tradition that minor league veterans
can't make good in the big leagues.
Getting their first big-league trial
after more than a decade in the
minors, these astonishing veterans
each won 20 games for Boston in
1887, or more than Firebal Van Lin

more than half the games the Bees
won. Their combined record was
better than that of all the other
pitchers on the staff put together
