Crasshopper Bait
To Be Distributed

Grasshoppers are showing up in
large numbers in some sections of the
county, according to the county agent,
Max McMillin. These hoppers have
been growing rather slowly due to
the cold weather but it soon will be
time to put out bait to be effective.
Bait from last year is just as good as
newly mixed bait and can be secured
from many of the town boards.
The Pokegama town board says
that bait may be obtained there from
their janitor, by calling Raymond
Swanson, between II and 100 o'clock.
Sacks should be brought as the bait
is loose. Bait can also be secured at
Sandstone by calling at the county
agents office.

The men who make the deals

with tail-end clubs that are fore
ed to sell their stars to get out of

necessary"
Comments from most major
league executives on the recent sale
by the Phillies of Pitcher Kirby
Higbe to Brooklyn for a reported
$1,000, 900 and three players dis
closed today that only Clark Grit
fifth of Washington is openly crit
ical of such sales. The Pills finish

league this year and President
Gerry Nugent said the Higbe deal
was necessary to balance the
clubs finances.
Il have always been opposed to
the lower standing clubs selling
stars to the higher clubs in the
same league" said Griffith, owner
of the Washington team. THE
American league adopted a rule
last year to discourage this. The
championship club cannot buy or
trade any player from another
club in the league except through
the waiver system. This helps to
keep the weak clubs from making
the stronger clubs stronger"
Warren Giles, general manager
Of the Cincinnati Reds, declared:
81 can understand why it some
times becomes necessary to sell
off the good players on a weak
club, but I don't like it and il
would be a lot better if it wasn'1
necessary" (The Reds bought
Pitcher Bucky Walters from the
Phils in 1888 for SAT, 500 and two
%players.)
Larry MacPhail, president OF
Brooklyn, thinks "if the Pills had
not been able to make good deals
from year to year they might have
difficulty opening the season."
