No Amount Of Instruction
Could Cure Stumbling

"But with all our coaching, we
couldn't stop Max from stumbling.
He'd go after a ball and stumble
around and almost fall down-but
he nearly always got the ball. It
was very wearing on my nerves,
however. The first year he was with
us I got so I couldn't look when
he started for a fly ball. I'd cover
my eyes and almost slide of the
bench and then I'd hear Kelly yell
ing and I'd ask him what hap
pened.
"'What happened!' he'd say.
why, he caught the ball. What did
you think would happen?'
"And I'd have to say I didn't
know, because the way West would
be stumbling around out there the
last I saw of him, almost anything
could happen.
"He still stumbles once in a while
and still almost gives me heart fall
ure, but I am learning rapidly not
to be afraid because notice that
most of the time he gets the ball.
And when you come right down to
it, that's the main thing.
II have seen some very graceful
ballplayers in my time, but a lot
of them didn't last in the big leagues
because they didn't quite come up
with the ball, and I will take these
guys that get the ball, no matter
how funny they may look sometimes
when they set out for it."

Sacramento Club Didn't Won't
To Stick Quinn With Him

Casey discovered West on the coast
when he was playing around Alham-
bra, Calf, and worked with him a
little and then, the year Casey was
out of baseball-drawing a salary for
not managing the Dodgers-he spent
part of his time in California, saw a
good deal of West, who was playing
with Sacramento. and turned his
mind toward the major leagues. The
following winter, when Casey was
signed to manage the Bees, he urged
Bob Quinn to buy West.
'The Sacramento club didn't
want to sell him to Bob" Casey said
'They were on very friendly terms
with Bob, who had helped them in
one way or another, and they didn't
want to stick him with this awkward
kid. But kept telling Bob not to
pay any attention to what anybody
said, but to go ahead and get the
boy. So he did. Even then, the
Sacramento club wouldn't let him
make a fiat buy. All they would do
was to sell West on option-$1,0O0
down and the balance If Bob, after a
good look at him, decided to keep

Kelly, Cooney and SteneeI
Touoht Him. Fine Points

II will say" Casey said, "that the
boy needed little help, but George
Kelly and Johnny Cooney and gave
it to him. The first thing we did
was to tell him to throw away the
shoes and gloves he brought to camp
with him. The shoes were $6 shoes
that didn't fit him and the glove
looked as though he had got it from
q kid on a playground. We told him
If he was going to be a big league
ballplayer, he would have to have
the proper equipment-and got an
awful kick out of him this spring
when some kid came into camp with
shoes and glove as funny looking as
those he had had-but no funnier-
and he says to Kelly, George, you'd
better see that this fellow has the
proper equipment
"Cooney taught West how to catch
fly balls that he had to 60 back on
he was fast enough to get back of
them but he would blow them by
the way he grabbed for them-and
Kelly taught him to throw. He had
a kind of sidearm throw into which
he couldn't put any power and
George showed him how to throw
overland. George is pretty good
man to teach a young fellow to
throw, isn't he? I don't remember
many fellows with better arms than
his-and he always knew how to
use it.

State Fish Supply
Tipped 7,1SS,N3
by Division MOUes.

Minnesotas fish population was in
creased by 7,188,473 by game and fish
division efforts during the six months
from July l to Jan. /, according to the
January report of George Weaver, in
charge of fish propagation. OF this
number, 6,7O4O50 fishes were raised in
the state hatcheries and rearing ponds,
and 484 ,423 were rescued from death by
removal from unsafe bodies of water to
safe ones.
According to the report, the pond
raised fishes comprised: 2,998,74O sun
fish; 429,920 crappies; 261,328 bass;
48,358 pike; 3,575 small mouth bass;
5000 rock bass: 489 pickerel and p
muskieS.
The hatchery raised fish included
1,539,943 brook trout, 780,11O brown
trout, 355,915 rainbow and 282 500 lake
trout.
During January 424,199 pounds of
rough fish were taken out of state
waters under the supervision of Di-
rector Lewis H. Merrill of the division
as follows: 347,753 pounds of carp, &c.
030 pounds of buffalo, 10000 pounds of
bullhead, 20,1OO pounds of sheepShead
and pounds of dogfish.
The pond and hatchery raised fish
are of lingering size and larger when
distributed. Mr.. Weaver reports winter
conditions at the hatcheries as normal
and that prospects for the coming
season invariably are good.

Outlook Held Good
for 1910 Game Bird
Production in State

With a larger breeding stock of up
land game birds on hand at the state
game farms than last year, prospects
for successful Matching and produc-
ton season are regarded as very good
in Minnesota, according to informed
observers.
In his January report to Director
Lewis H Merrill of the division of
game and fish, superintendent Frank
D. Blair of game propagation and
refugees, states there were 1894 birds on
hand for breeding purposes on Feb. 1.
OF these 1895 were pheasants, 1884
quail, and 1874 chukar partridges.
This is more in all classes than at
the same period last year. According
to Mr.. Blair, last years breeding stocks
produced 133,450 eggs. Because of
limited plant capacity, not all of these
were Matched on the state farms. Late
August eggs were traded to southern
states on the basis of three late eggs
for one June or earlier eggs. Still the
division raised, Matched and distributed
more than $4,000 upland game birds
during the season-about $4,000 pleas
ants, 1900 quail and $4,000 chukars.

No Substitutes Gust
Wood as Tie Material.

More than $500 patents have been
granted in the past so years for rail-
road materials other than wood, says
the booklet, Products of American
Forests, issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture. But in
general, railway traffic continues to
move on a wood foundation j. Alfred
Hall and T. j. Mosley, of the Forest
Products Laboratory, estimate that
about a billion wooden ties are in SER
vice.
There is an annual renewal of about
100 ties to the mile, on the average,
but several important railroads get
along with yearly renewals of so to rs
ties a mile. This longer life of the tie
results from better roadbed, better con-
struction methods, and chemical treat
ments with preservatives. In recent
years railroads have been buying about
100000 ties a year, compared with
nearly 150YOO0000 80 years ago. Three
quarters of the ties are now treated
before they are laid.
Cheapness, strength, elasticity, re-
sistance to shock, ease of replacement,
and electric insulating properties are
qualities Of wood ties that account for
the demand that promises continuing
market for this staple product of
American woodlands.

Thomas Carey's Cousin
Pictured in Saturday Post.

In last weeks Saturday Evening Post,
in a full-page advertisement, appeared
the picture of Warde B. Chittenden of
Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin.
Ordinarily this means nothing to the
casual reader more than the ad depicts
a handsome youngster gracing a full
page in the Post and calling attention
to an advertised product.
In this case, the young man is a
grandson of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Morrison of Wausau, Wisconsin. MIR.
Morrison is a former resident of this
city and the grandmother is Stella
Owens, formerly of Tower.
He is the great-grandson of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam Owens, formerly of Tower
and Eveleth, and a cousin of Thomas
]. Carey, city attorney of Ely. Sheriff
Sam Owens of Duluth is his great
uncle.

FORD TO HAUL
ORE TO PLANT
Price Paid to Oliver Did Not
Include Shipping Charge
to Detroit.

Indication that the price paid by
the Ford Motor company for iron ore
purchased on the open market from the
Oliver Iron Mining company included
only delivery to the docks at Duluth
and not to Detroit has dispelled many
of the fears that the divers action was
of a price-cutting nature, it was re-
vealed last week.
Publication of the 1910 prices for
Lake Superior ore showed no change
from the basic schedules of last year
Reports indicate that the reported
price of SIPS ton under the $495-
$5.25 schedule for 1939-1940 included
delivery to the Duluth docks. The
price paid by Ford did not contain the
listed cost for the past two years of
"a cents for floating the mineral down
the lakes and unloading at the lower
docks
Oliver officials have pointed out that
selling products in the open market is
not new to the Steel corporation, which
has sold limestone, steel and pig iron
for years. The sale of iron ore and
coal is the new development this year,
it is explained.
Reports from Cleveland indicate the
general understanding that the Ford
boats will transport the ore from Du-
luth to Detroit, and not the Pittsburgh
Steamship company, subsidiary of the
U. S. Steel, which is private carrier
and would have to change its status
to contract carrier to move outside ore.
While the exact tonnage sold to Ford
is not revealed, it is understood to be
around 10000 tons.

Mr.. Smith is an ideal father. His
son wants bicycle. The financial con-
dition of the Smith family is none too
good, but, Mr.. Smith economies
smokes nickel cigars, walks to work
and, when sons birthday arrives, pre-
sents him with a shiny new bike and
sends him out to enjoy the newly &C
quired vehicle. MIR. Smith sits back
with pleasure and bit of pride. He
has made his son happy; he has done
his duty as father.
But has he? What about instructing
his child in the proper way to operate
bike? What about teaching this
youngster the traffic rules which apply
to bicycles as well as automobiles?
What about warning him not to be a
show-off rider?
The way this boy rides his bicycle
is very likely the manner in which he
will operate his car when a grown man.
1t is the parents duty to caution their
children to think and act safely. Safety
habits instilled in the mind of child
will be lasting.

This timber is the last of the tract
damaged by hail in 1888 and is located

conventions four delegates at large and
four alternates and in addition one
delegate and alternate for each 1000
votes or fraction thereof cast for Gov
ernor Stassen in the 1888 general cleo
ton. This will make possible a state

DULUTH LINE
Speedup in Telephone Service
Will Result from New Line,
Lambert Says.

Two toll lines to Duluth are now
available for use by Ely persons making
long distance calls, according to Bern
M. Lambert, manager of the Ely tele-
phone exchange of the Duluth, Missable
& Iron Range Railway company The
second line was put into use Tuesday.
A speedup in service will now be
possible, Lambert states, and the local
exchange will be able to handle more
calls to better advantage.
Before, when the one Duluth line
was in use, calls had to be routed
through Virginia or Two Harbors. When
these circuits were not available, SER
vice was delayed.
During the summer, many long dis
lance messages are placed from here
by tourists, Lambert pointed out, which
clogged the single line to Duluth with
more calls than it could advantageously
handle.
