DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.-If
you don't want your boy to be
a soldier, then raise him to be
a baseball player.
The chances are that by the
time he has played a year or two
in the majors he will have de-
veloped so many bizarre all
ments that he wouldn't be called
to the colors until the invading
enemy was trampling down the
cherry trees in Washington and
making collect long distance
calls on the White House tele-
phone.
II You don't believe me, just
give yourself the sports page
test by. reading Of the wholesale
misery now being suffered in
the baseball training camps.
Things have been so bad this
spring that a fellow hardly
knows whether to read the news
papers or the American Medical
journal for the latest news of
his diamond heroes.
Half the photographs sent out
from Florida and California and
texas have had hospital back
grounds. and players fever
charts are as well known as
their batting averages, The base
ballers have showed no favorit-
ism in picking their ailments,
but have played the whole field.
SOMETHING OR OTHER
Cracked shins. twisted muscles,
vibrating vertebrae, tortured
toes, and ornery elbows all have
come in for mention. If some
thing isn't done about it soon
the John Hopkins staff will have
to throw out the first ball of
the season. and DR.. Dafoe will be
named high commissioner.
just think of the headliners
who are out of killer. Gehrig,
Bartell. and Hubbell, Dean. Rowe
and MungO, to mention few.
This Is the one hundredth year
Of baseball. and considering the
fragility Of its players II is sur
prising that II has lasted so long.
Certainly It won't he with us
another hundred years unless
steps are taken to reinforce the
fibre Of the players.
The first step that should be
taken, perhaps, is to quit pamp-
ering the players the way they
are pampered in the major
leagues. No rare orchid, no
heir to the throne, ever was
handled with such care and
solicitude as a major league
player. He is rubbed and oiled
and examined He is baked
under lamps. and X-ray. He is
put on special diets, and given
special shoes, and braces and
glasses and heaven knows what

No Easy Task

Promoter VIII Maylon, now
busily engaged in tracking down
an opponent for Davey Ward, up
and-coming Tacoma welter who
makes his next start here Thurs
day. April Is, can't avoid shivering
bit when he issues the invitation
to various Pacific Coast ringmen.

Ward and Immediately ran into a

Indian reservation near Reno,

disease himself.
Johnny Di Sopa, San Fran
cisco, had scarcely affixed his
signature to the contract when
an attack Of appendicitis
dropped him for the 1O-count,
necessitating an emergency
operation.
Eddie Spina subbed for Collins
and walked right into fusillade
of leather which left him helpless
after a little more than four
rounds.
For reasons easily discernible,
Maylon doesn't say much about
the fate of that trio when he

weights relative to glove meet

Meanwhile, Wards services are
becoming more and more in de-
mand, particularly since Freddie
Steele, Daveys idol and former
tutor. has taken over the match
making reigns in Spokane.
Steele is proud Of his erstwhile
protege and wants to show him
off in front of the Spokane folks
at the earliest possible date.

tempt to arrange a Ward

metropolis.
Jock McOmber, the Northwest's
No. l light-heavyweight, is also
in line for plenty of work both
here and in Spokane during the
next few months.
The Seeking Scot resumed train
ing this week after a three-week
layoff and should be ready to 90
within a fortnight.
Maylons tentative plans call for
Jock to make an appearance here
before the month is out, which
would still leave the Scot ample
time to tackle a Spokane bout.

These figures are not proper
tionate with Washingtons game
fish catch in its entirety, for they
represent mainly recordings on
warm water lakes. On streams
and high country lakes the much
smaller number of catches checked
ran overwhelmingly to rainbow
and cutthroat trout. AS a matter
of fact the catch of these true
native trout was surprisingly
great, and credit is given to large
liberations of fingerlings made in
recent years. The excellent show
ing of the rainbows and cutthroats
was prominent in some waters
where paintings of eastern brook
trout showed disappointing re-
turns.
CAREFUL STUDY
The compiled figures have been.
and will continue to be. the object
of careful study. Naturally. where
total catches are concerned the
ratio OF types of waters checked
is given full consideration.

To bolster its rainbow and cut
throat supply. the department has
taken immediate steps. Cutthroats
are the greatest problem because
II is difficult TO obtain spawn in
large quantities on local streams
an0 ii is impossible TO purchase
any sizeable number of eggs.
Some of the best cutthroat streams
have been closed to all fishing as
an immediate safeguard for these
gamey fish, and six new traps
have been placed in operation dur
ing the past year for the purpose
of taking these fish alone. Two
other traps primarily used for
taking silver trout are being oper-
ated to take a comparatively small
cutthroat spawn supply

The Bells reached three Sumner

invaders, who made seven errors.
Simmons. Smith and Mcdowell

Brood stock ponds have been
built at seven hatcheries, for the
department has decided to raise
fish to produce its own spawn.
Only select trout are retained as
brood stock. The first rainbow
eggs were taken from brood ponds
this year, and this source of rain
bow and cutthroat spawn will be
multiplied many times in the next
few years. This year the depart
ment purchased ten million eggs
/ to further enhance its rainbow
program. Catch records are promi-
nent in these activities, for they
have shown the value of cutthroats
and rainbows.
High percentage Of silver
trout and perch on the catch
records is explainable. The
silver catch really was graft
flying, for most of the resort
lakes had been stocked heavily
with this species for several
years previous to installation
of the catch recordings.
Through recent years the de-
partment consistently has
liberated over twenty millions
Of silvers annually.
Several excellent lowland lakes
gave perch a high average. An
excellent example was Fish lake
in Chelan county, where four re-
sorts checked total of 2,631
anglers who landed 30,610 fish.
some 80 per cent of which were
perch. Incidentally, this made the
fisherman's average daily catch
on Fish lake 11.6 fish per day, an
outstanding mark.
On the table of catch records
for 1888 perch showed slight
percentage decrease from 1887 fig
ures, but silver trout made COR
responding increase.
NATIVE TROUT
INFORMATION
The immediate feature of the
catch records is the important

rainbows and cutthroats. Already
