the team and visit my old
friend Hank. and perhaps let
him buy me a new tarpaulin

up to major league standards.
The word he used was "diS-

Not wishing to 60 empty

laid an orchid atop each rec

in swatches of my own crumbly
canvas.
Then I went around and de-
lvered them, personally, to all
my old friends in the Cleveland
organization and on the Cleve-
land newspapers. For some rea+
son, everybody seemed to get
madder at me than ever.
I guess they didn't care for

kind of q downpour. Just for a
gag, I yelled down:

The Cleveland writer's glared
at me with loathing and all at
once I realized that neither
they nor, from all appearances,
the st. Louis writer's knew that
as far as the ground crew was
concerned 1 could not have
urged them onto greater speed

flagrant case of unsportsman-
like conduct, and I was having
the time of my life.
A Visit to Cleveland
In due time the game was
called. Cleveland fell a game
behind the Yankees, and the
Cleveland papers screamed that

squarely on my shoulders.

OImsteod Retires

NEW YORK, Nov. II (AP).-
The New York Rangers hopes
OF landing Bert Olmstead were
dashed today when the veteran
star Of the National Hockey
League informed club president
Bill Jennings he planned to
retire from the game. The
Rangers had acquired the
36-year-old left winger from
Montreal last summer for the
$4,000 draft price.

In baseball, every other team
Is an enemy. The Indians were
battling the Yankees for first
place when they came into st,
Louis for a Labor Day double
header, fairly confident of do
ing themselves some good by
clobbering our poor little
Brownies.
In the first game they mur-
dered us, but in the second,
our hitters went on a rampage
and at the end of five innings
we were leading, 81. Sanity
was restored in the top of the
sixth as the Indians scored
three quick runs.
Came the Rains
The rally was still going
strong when suddenly it began
to pour. The umpires signaled
the ground crew to cover the
infield.
Now, I have to tell you some
thing about our ground crew
and our canvas tarpaulin. Dur
ing the war, when it was I'M
possible to find help, Bill De
Witt, the Browns president,
had hired a crew of mutes.
They turned out to be such ex-
cellent workers that, when the
war ended 1t seemed only fair
to keep them.
AS for the canvas, well, 1t
was so worn and torn and tat
tered that the ground crew had
to handle it with a certain
amount of respect just to keep
the pieces from ripping off in
their hands. Needless to say,
we had no money to spend on
anything as foolish as a new
one, because at that stage Of
the game new baseballs were a
luxury item for us.
All right, so now we had our
ground crew covering the field,
at the earnest behest of the
umpires, because if the inning
could not be completed, the
score would revert to the pre-
vious inning and we would win
the game.

Fred Brown of Fairfax saws
there is plenty of game for all,
That applies to deer, quail, rab-
bits. grouse and turkey. Only
on bear does he shy at predic-
tions. But bears are unpre-
dictable anyway.
Based on personal observa-
tons, talks with other wardens
and reports from throughout
the State, Brown thinks deer
will be in good supply.
"The herd" he adds, ais
about evenly divided between
the Eastern and Western coun-
ties with the East probably
having a slight edge because
some Western ranges have be-
come too mature to support
deer.
"On the other hand there
has been plenty of deer sign
and last winter was mild and
favorable. Most encouraging
thing is the abundance of mast
throughout the State.
This mast (acorns, hickory
nuts and other forest food
will not only help this year but
next. A poorly fed doe produces
only one fawn but a well-fed
animal may have twins or
triplets.
Hard to Say About Bear
Quail hunting was very
good last year and I expect it
to be about the same while
rabbits have increased slightly.
They are not abundant and
hunters must work hard for
them but I know one group
that went to Shenandoah Coun-
ty and brought back 30.
The grouse supply is good
and there is plenty of their
favorite food, wild grapes. Tur-
key have increased consider
ably. Flocks of up to 40 birds
have been reported in some of
the mountain areas.

say. The abundance of mast
'favors them, too, but because
they breed only every other

make"

ties are getting their first crack |
at it in a season which extends

property by condemnation, which
is one Of the most powerful wea-
pons in the hands Of any industry
THE industry has been allowed
to hold land over a long period OF
time, Taconite land, at low tax.
Too Fairly Taxed
There is no evidence that the
industry has been taxed unfairly.
We think the facts are the industry
has been too fairly taxed.
State Doesn't Know Extent OF Ore
THE State has never known how
much iron ore is owned and con-
trolled by the steel industry. When
the State has attempted to go on
industry-owned property for the
purpose of estimating the unmined
iron ore in order to arrive at fair
basis for assessment, the State has
been charged with trespass by the
owners, and the charge has been
upheld in the courts. Imagine any
other property owner trying to
keep the assessor off his premises.
The only information the State
has ever been able to obtain on the
ore yet unmined is the information
given to it by the industry, and a
look at the record would lead one
to believe that the information has
been meager. In 1921 under the ad
valorem tax, the mining compan-
les were assessed on the basis of
1-billion tons of unmined ore de-
posits. Thirty years later, they
were still being assessed of the
basis Of 1-billion tons Of unmined
high grade ore. What happened to
the taxes on the several billions
tons Of high grade ore that were
mined during that period?
Now somebody failed to pay
taxes on that ore. It could not have
been you or us, as we did not own
any Of the mined ore-at least we
assume that. Do you think this was
