ATl Mighty Mite The repulsive looking fellow lr the accompanying drawing is a chig-ger, or technically, a mite membei of the family of mites, spiders, tlckj and scorpions which causes sports-men in the south and midwest more discomfort than another insect ot animal. He is a Juvenile delinquent, a newly-hatche- d baby or larval stage of the common, bright red, spider-lik- e mite often seen in early spring in gardens and fields. The best way to get "loaded" with chiggcrs Is to sit or lie down tn areas where they abound.

This is, however, only temporary protection. After a fishing trip a shower or bath with soap and water will help reduce severity of attack. A number of houshold items will help relieve chigger bites, includ-ing ammonia, a weak solution ol lysol, rubbing alcohol, camphor, vaseline, chloroform, iodine, or fingernail polish. These materiali will also kill the chigger. AAA A Noble Try Back in 1879 Missouri's first fish commission made a noble experi-ment in restocking the state's streams with fish. Although it failed, the experiment has been called the first sincere attempt to restock mid-west streams. The commission's first act was to establish a fish hatchery where speckled trout and such exotic spe-cies as California salmon, Atlantic white shad and German carp were hatched. The California salmon and white shad are migratory species which live in the ocean except during early spring when they move up fresh-wate- r rivers and streams to spawn. It was believed that these species, released in Missouri, would go to the Gulf then return each spring to spawn. Some 200,000 salmon fry were released in several O s a r k streams by the commission. Five years after the first re-lease, the commissioners wrote: "We have placed California sal-mon in our waters for five suc-cessive years. No adult salmon has yet been captured on his re-turn into our streams. There is no reason yet to be discouraged, as those fish cannot reach ma-turity In less time." Time moved on and as yet no one has reported catching a matured salmon. But it was a noble try. Perhaps the most colorful of the early operations was the rearing of German carp, such as practiced in the old countries. The commission-ers had in their employ an "expert carp culturist" from Germany. Landowners were encouraged to propogate carp in ponds, and a booklet was printed explaining the art and offering hints on best methods of cooking the fish such as "carp boiled in beer" and "carp cooked in wine." The commissioners were really sold on the idea. "We are assured," they wrote, "that the carp can be raised on the farm with as much certainty and economy as pigs and poultry." By 1888, some 4,800 ponds had been stocked and over a half-rniilio-carp had been released in streams and public waters. Though the carp idea went off with a bang it lacked lasting quali-ties. A few years later the com-missioners agreed "we are of the opinion that we have fish of a bet-ter quality among our native fish in Missouri." Regardless of their lack of suc-cess, the early commissioners did gain an insight toward the needs for protecting and restoring wild-life It was a noble try. AAA Quail Population Declining bobwhite population has caused much concern tc sportsmen throughout the broad range of this popular bird. Except in a few localities, quail numbers have declined in spite of reduced bag limits and curtailed seasons. Conservation officials report, however, the bird population will begin to increase as the soil con servatinn program expands. Th program will increase feeding ;rounc, and cover. : StPTOTSCQPEE MAH00NIY whcn fa --AvniS SfUvf" WAS REALLY SMOKING THEM IN TZfi olP.Sru HTS 40af' J HIS FAST BALL WAS CLOCKED AVS'VT THFfir !

A's Pennant Hope Is Thrown Away I By GRANTLAND RICE J CONNIE MACK picked up his first in 1902, just 48 years ago. He won his last flag in 1931, and 1950 was his dream year for his 10th pennant. It was a dream when warm weather bakes out sore pitching arms and gives him at least a working staff. The Greatest Team The venerable Mr. Mack has two teams to contribute to the e argument of which are baseball's greatest teams. His two contribu-tions are the Athletics of 1910-191- and the Athletics of 1929, 1930, 1931. The other two selections belong to the Chicago Cubs of 1906-191- 0 and several Yankee outfits. The first great Athletic squad won four pennants and three world series in five years. The second won three pennants in a row and two world series. (Ml that so far has been shot full of holes. Except for rabid home - town team rooters almost ev-eryone was pulling for the tall and stately Mr. Mack to win this 10th flag and so pull up even w i t h his ancient Grantland Rice rival, John Mc- - Graw. As the new season broke open there was an outside chance, a rather shadowy one, that Connie and his Athletics might just make it. It had to be an outside chance with the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers and Indians rated ahead of him. But he had a pretty good outfield, he had strengthened his infield with $100,000 Dilinger and he seemed to have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball with Brissie, Coleman, Kellner, Scheib, Fowler, Hooper and other strong men on hand. The main strength of Connie's earlier teams was his pitchers-Ben- der, Coombs and Flank plus a brilliant Infield, with Mo Innls, Collins, Barry and Baker, Grove, Cochrane and Simmons were his three top stars in the 1929-193- 1 group. The Yankee delegation of 1927. 1928 was the most overpowering collection baseball has known on the attacking side. They had Ruth and Gehrig- - for two things. They had Earle Combs, another star. They had Bob Meusel. They had Pennock. They had plenty. The Yankees and Athletics have had the two best separate and dis-tinct squads baseball has known. Mr. Mack banked on brilliant pitching Grove, Waddell, Pennock, Plank, Bender, Bush and Coombs among others. The Yankees relied largely on Ruth-Gehri- g power, although they had their share of other important matters. This pitching staff might do It at good odds. The Athletics looked as good as any of the others in the spring. And then somebody jerked the rug from under Mr. Mack's feet. His team finished the first six weeks of the season batting .270, well up with the leaders. It fielded well enough. But practically every pitch-ing arm in camp, right and left, col-lapsed. Bob Hooper, his Buffalo rookie, was about his best bet. Kell-ner was away slowly. In place of winning a pennant after such a ragged start Mr. Mack's main objective now is the first division. To reach this restful spot he has to beat out one team from the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers or Indians. These look to be the four strongest teams in the league at this moment. What Is Timing? Stan Musial has said several times that the main idea in batting is timing. What we are now trying to locate is what timing actually is. Bobby Jones had timing tamed completely. Bob was a slow, even-pace- d swinger. Sammy Snead is a faster swinger. He is also a master of timing. Ted Williams, who waits until the final split second to start his swing, is among the finest of all timers. I saw one fine example of how timing can be measured. In this scientific device, a golf ball was placed on a tee. Just back of the ball at six-inc- h In-tervals there were slender up-rights through which the club head had to travel to reach the ball. As the club head passed through each the time was measured by some hidden in-strument. So Mr. Mack's dream of another pennant for his 50th A.L. season doesn't look any too healthy. His Athletics needed a fast start back of a sound pitching staff. It has been 19 years since his Athletics made it three in a row with the brilliant Cochrane catching Grove and Earn-sha-with Al Simmons and others batting in runs. There is no Lefty Grove hovering around today, winning 31 games and dropping only four. It is all a rather tough break for a veteran who has given so much to baseball for so long a time. He is almost cer-tain, however, to move well forward |
