Random Editorial Ramblings

By Jack Dionne

Over a4d over, and still over again, Harry Carr, writing in the Los Angeles Times, openly hurls insults at an honorable aggregation of men-the lumber manufacturers of California-referring to them as ..murderers,', and to the cutting of trees for commercial purposes as ,.murder". Protest to the Times management has been of no avail. The attacks continue.

* * !F

Once, after a particularly vicious attack, the writer of this column sent a letter to Mr. Carr, assuming-as who would not-that he was a fair man, and would present the facts once they were shown him. We gave the lumber side of the tree cutting proposition. The letter was courteously written. It asked for justice and fair play. The facts it contained were rock-bound. The conclusions drawn were logical, truthful, and demonstrable as two plus two equals four. Neither Mr. Carr nor any other man, could shake them. ft seemed right, in the face of Mr. Carr's continual denunciations, that the public should know the truth. A minimum of fair dealing would have been the publication of the letter. A modicum of fair play would have been the controverting of the facts presented, or a disconlinuance of persecution. The facts were not printed. The persecution increased.

rF**

A courteous note came from Mr. Carr. It seemed to promise a square deal, caused us to expect the publication of the facts, and perhaps a sportsmanlike review of them. Once again in our credulous career we were guilty of overestimation.

:1. {. *

It is the unwritten law among editors of worth that one indispensable pre-requisite of editorial writing is FAIR PLAY. Knowing the game to be a one-sided one since the other fellow cannot reach the editor's audience and debate him, or controvert statements made regardless of how devoid they may be of truth, a fundamental characteristic of honorable journalism is the square deal in editorial commef,rt-thd Golden Rule. Mr. Carr knows that. Yet in his dealings with this particular subject his acts havc been destitute of that spirit-rnildewed with intolerant prejudice.

*t:k

Surely the patience of the lumbermen must some day cease to be a virtue, and they must take some action to .dam this particularly pernicious flow of diatrib*-this pre. sumptuous persecution. Or has the charge of ttmurder" become so small inthis somewhat Chicago-ized civilization? That it has hurt their business, there can be no doubt; and it continually outrages their sense offair play.

And whence comes this tide of calumny? From an old and honored publication, whose sense of justice was once held in high esteem. Give him the plain facts and no nor_ mal man possessed of sufficient intelligence to succe.ssfully evade the lunatic asylum will put any faith in this ,.tree murder" stuff. But let him hear but one side, with no reply, no protest, no apparent attempt at refutation from the other side, and he will instinctively assume its truttr-

Now, the statement that the men who cut down Redwood trees for commercial purposes are murderers, is an infernal slander; and the continued development of that impression (deliberately blind to the real facts in the case) is shame_ less fraud. But unless the public is told the difierence, it will always be a one-sided game, \rith the lumbermen always on the short end.

{.**

Every morning Mr. Carr takes his pen iq hand and. dispenses through the columns of The Times a particularly attenuated variety of wind pudding. Here he swaggers his opinions. .Here he daily settles all worldly ditriculties_ solves all mankind's problems. One g"it "r. from the tone of the column that the writer considers his bucolic ideas to be a perpetual revelation of truth itself. Often, in reading them, the lines of Pope come to mind:_

"Old politicians chew on wisdom past, And totter on in business to the last, As weak, as earnest, and as gravely out, As sober Lanesbrough, dancing with the gout."

ft is on this grill that the lumbennen are frequently fried. He attacks them with an artificial savageiy that iu-orrstrates conclusively but one thing;-the adhesive qualities of Mr. Carr's prejudices.

You would gather from his lumbering remarks (get that word) that so far as the lumbermen are concerned, sentiment and all other fine human tendencies have perished be- fore a pitiless commercialism; that the mill man strikes down for sordid gain and no good purpose, monuments of wood which the living God has been erecting through the ages; and chortles with fieqdish glee at his destruciive and ghoulish power. That's the picture the public gets ! Is it true? fs it honest? Is it fair? Let Mr. Carr publish the facts that have been sent him in the same outstanding man_ ner that he prints his attacks, and let the thinking leople say which is.wrong, and which right!

Mr. Carr poses in his column as a liberal critic, while fanatically intolerant of the opinionp of others. He would have others respect his opinions, yet repudiates by the thunders of silence an accurate and honest statement of dissent, courteously offered.* fs that fair play?

He keeps hammering away at a lot of hard-working, business-troubled mbn, whose pathway has been and is today anything but a road of roses. Humarl service is a dominant and outstanding factor in their business. Their industry confers an almost indispensable service to man- kind. Yet he continues to attack them with a blind vigor that would be amusing were it not so unfair, so untruthiul, so prejudiced, and so hurtful ,,(

There are numerous-almost innumerable-sound, loyal, and satisfactory reasons for the cutting of trees to serve mankind. There is not room for them here. Just take one picture. Let Mr. Carr, or any other tree-cutting critic, answer it'

A great part of the State of California is in exactly that po.sition. Answer the question before you cry "murderer" I Tree covered territories where tree cutting is forbidden won't even produce the sorriest crops. ft can be but one thingt-WILDERNESS.

What's the answer? You can have people, and civilization-or you can have trees. Which will it be, humans ortrees?

ft is true that some of these trees have stood for thousands ofyears. And what good have they done? What service have they rendered? What benefits have they conferred? Today they are performing a great service. They will for all time to come. We will always have Redwood trees in California-always. And we will always be cutting Redwood trees in Cdifornia-always.

They speak of the Golden State, and yet tfie forests of California have already produced more than twice as much wealth as have the mines, and while the mines are about gone, the forests are practically untouched, and new ones are growing, growing, growing into trees that will form a basis for continued service to mankind, and continued foundation for Californi" ptotl,"tl,y.*

Mr. Carr once painted in his column a word picture of what he thought a tree cutter must be like. ft was a revolting suggestion. May we be pardoned for a suggestion to the Los Angeles'Times? Just a coat of arms for the head of The Lancer column. How would this be? A fat columnist, Rampant; an admiring wodd, Regardant; a prostrate lumberman, Suppliant; and the motto,-"To Hell with the people-let's save the trees." We charge nothing for the suggestion.

Wesley Shrimp Issues Grand New Catalogue on Home Modernizin!

Wesley Shrimp, the genial head of The Cresmer Manufacturing Company, Riverside, California, has won himself much commendation by a new book he has recently issued entitled, "New Ideas,On Home Modernizing". It is printed on heavy book paper, every page is attractively illustrated, and there are 48 pages including cover. The frontispiece is on "Financing Modernization", and makes this statement:

"From the standpoint of financing agencies the biggest problem in loans at this time is that of obsolescgnce. With the many changes in architecture and improvements in construction standards of the last few years, a great many homes now need modernization. Consequently, anything that will stabilize values of existing properties like modernization will, is of interest to Building and Loan Associations, Mortgage Companies, Savings Banks, and other home

financing institutions. Ary movement that encourages the modernization of homes and business property will therefore receive the wholehearted support of these financing organizations".

Thirty-two of the forty-eight pages in Mr. Shrimp's book is the work of The National Lumber Manufacturers Association, and issued to the lumber trade to help sell remodel= ing things. This includes remodeling suggestions, plans, and detailed working drawings, for every room in the house, attractively and skillfully drawn.

The other sixteen pages are devoted to illustrations of Cowan's built-in line for which they are jobbers in Riverside territory, and advertisements for the Cresmer plant and service. Altogether is it one of the cleverest books ever issued to help increase the use of millwork by any California millwork man.

To lumber retailers in California and the Pacific Northwest, the opening, just announced, of the new plant of 'Weyerhaeuser Timber Company at Longview, Wash., means the possibility of unusual service in deliveries. This operation will supplement the company's mills at Everett, 'Wash., in taking care of vessel shipments to customers in California and the mills there and at Snoqualmie Falls in filling rail orders to dealers in Washington and Oregon.

Moreover, it will afford a unique diversity of supply to distributors, in that fir, hemlock, cedar siding and shingles will be manufactured on the property. And in the offing lie possibilities of the development of a box factory, sash .and door works and other wood utilization enterprises on the same site.

As,outlined by Geo. S. Long, vice-president and chairman of the exectrtive committee bf the board of directors of

Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, the effects of this new operation, upon the Weyerhaeuser producing affiliation and the West Coast industry generally, will be as follows:

1. While the Longview mills do not comprise the largest lumber plant in the country, they represent "the last wotrd" in Douglas fir operation and will have a capacity, when all units are completed and running oh double-shift, of 4OO,000,000 feet a year.

2. This capacity will not be reached for an indefinite time in future, not only because only one of the three mills is running at present, but also because the chief object in erecting this plant is to improve service to dealers rather than directly to increase sales volume.

3. Improved dealer service will be effected in four ways. The new operation will supply a large part of the lumber required for vessel movement to California and.to the three

great Atlantic Coast distributing plants of Weyerl.r-leurqer Timber Company. Second, the Longview plant will ship direct by rail to customers in the Northwest whenever that is desirable. Third, it will enable dealers to order mixed cars of Douglas fir and hemlock lumber, cedar siding and shingles. Finally, it will enable Everett Mill B to_go back toits original work of sending rail shipments of fir to retailers in the Middle West and the Northwest.

In order to accomplish this program, of course, special operating arrangements were necessary. Mr. Long explained these arrangements, in a recent interview, as follows:

"At Longview, the 160-acre millsite proPer is only part

of the total 600 acres acquired. It is half a mile wide and situated on the Columbia River, giving us two miles of unexcelled u/ater-front. This extent of property will enable us to expand in any line that'appears desirable-the manufacture of pulp and paper, of sash and doors, of boxes and other products-without ever feeling handicapped for want of space. The plant has splendid facilities for either rail or water shipment.

"This lay-out is different from other fir operations here on the Coast in that only one mill is arranged to saw long logs, while the other two are short-log mills. The logs come to Longview by rail and are dumped into an elaborate ' (Continued on Page 28) t

"Realizing the need for dry lumber in construction and industrial usage, we have installed 50 dry kilns, with provision for others infuture. With this batterv of kilns. our Longview mills will be able to supply the irade with all grades of lumber thoroughly kiln dried. The sheds also are so large that we can store at least 100,000,00O feet of dry lumber under roof. And we have installed facilities for rapid handling at every point."

These construction details Mr. Long described in order to make clear that every elTort had been made in planning this new operation to anticipate the lumber buyer's utmost demands for service. Then he turned to a discussion of the timber end of the new works:

"The timber supply consists of a tract which contains enough to keep the mills running'50 years. It includes the

best grades of fir, cedar and hemlock. We intend to manufacture all of this, so as to be able to give the retail merchant any variety of lumber or shingles he may want, and to enable him to order from the Weyerhaeuser Longview plant mixed cars containing fir and hemlock lumber, cedar siding and shingles.

"This is a service which I do not believe the dealer is able to obtain elsewhere. On such an order, or any other, the Longview plant will be able to rush delivery because of the extraordinary extent and flexibility of its handling equipment."

,

Counting the preliminary preparation of the site, it was just about two years from the beginning of construction to the initial turn-over. The first pile was driven October 25, 1927, after a summer spent in preparation of the srounds. Mill 1 went into operation May 27, 1929, but it

State Association Directors and East Bay Retailers Hold Joint Meeting

Directors of the Northern District of the California Retail Lumbernlen's Association held a breakfast meeting at theHotel Oakland, Jaly 12, when reports of the various committees were received and various matters were discussed which kept the directors in session until 12:30 p.m,

Immediately after the close of the morning meeting a joint luncheon was held with East Bay retail lumber dealers.

Paul Overend, field representative of the Northern District of the State Association, presided. He stated that the purpose of the meeting was to make East Bay dealers better acquainted with the work the State Association is doing, and called attention to the fact that the association is ready at any time to help any individual lumber dealer or group of 'dealers with any problem regardless of whether thev are members of not.

Harry A. Lake, president of the State Association told of the success the State body has had in fostering the formation of group associltions, of which fifteen had already been formed this year, and are now functioning. He paid a tribute to the work of the association's twenty-two directors who worked unselfishly for the good of the whole retail lumber industry, and of the 50 per cent increase in membership since the first of the year. He predicted that the end of the present year would show more than 100 per cent increase in membership, and painted a bright picture of what a State association with a large majority, say 800 out of the 1100 yands in the State, within its membership could accomplish.

Brief talks on the value of cooperation were given by M. D. Bishop, of Watsonville, secretary-manager of the Coast Counties Association, and Robert S. Grant, Northern California representative of the Millwork Institute of California.

Other speakers were A. M. S. Pearce, E. K. Wood Lumber Co., Oakland; L. V. Graham, Chicago Lumber Co. of Washington, Oakland; Clem Fraser, Loop Lumber & Mill Co., Alameda; C. E. Stowe, Stowe-Lima Lumber Co., Haywood: R. W. Shannon, San Leandro Mill & Lumber Co..

Plan Development of Olympic Peninsula Timber

OLYMPIA, Wash.-The iron fingers of new railroads, reaching into the fir, hemlock and spruce clad hills of the Olympic Peninsula, soon are expected to carry the lumberjack's ax into one of the greatest remaining stands of virgin timber in the United States.

Timber interests of the State of Washington are in direct competition for control of the 4Z,Z|Z,W,OOO board feet in this vast area that some day will be logged for lumber and for pulp. Four major timber concerns iie maneuvering for strategic positions, as if the peninsula were a giant chessboard.

Civic and industrial interests in the North and South are also vying over partition of timber in the national forest reserves. Meanwhile marked efforts are under way to assure the orderly utilization of this "last great stand," that such a valuable national resource may not be wasted.

The situation is emphasized by the fact that the Olympic Peninsula, in extreme northwestern Washington, is p geographical unit by itself. On the west lies the Pacific, on the north the Strait of Juan de Fuca, while on the east is Puget Sound and on the south, Grays Harbor, outlet of the seaboard lumber cities.

In the center of the peninsula, pointed northwest like a giant arrowhead, are the Olympic Mountains. They have been logged to the north, east and south, but between the wistern slope and the Pacific lies an untouched expanse of timber. And on the seaboard from Grays Harbor north there is no natural harbor, so that the timber, when cut, must be removed by rail.

Recently the Northern -Pacific and the Union Pacific announced that they would combine to build a 60-mile extension northward from Grays Harbor into the timber region. The road would cost $60,000 and the announcement proved the starting point of far-reaching developments'

Promoting this movement into the timber region from the south is Alel Polson, allied with the paper mill interests of Grays Harbor. FIis logging road extends through Humptulips into the Lake Quinault district, reaching to the very edge of the virgin timber.

The other three major interests are pushing down from the north, J. H. Bloedel and J. J. Donovan, of Seattle and Bellingham, with 1000 men in the woods and bringing out 300,000,000 board feet of timber yearly, have held a strong grip on the northern end.

- floovever, the plan of Joe lrving, of Everett, to extend the war-time government Spruce Division Railroad into this territory may change the situation.

The Milw;ukee Railway has a branch reaching out 40 miles west of Port Angeles, and, although this line is considered too short to warrant a spur into the southern timber stands, considerable interest has been attached to visits to the field by high officials of the Milwaukee road'

Much of thLe timber is on federal, state and Indian reservations, and is logged under contract. The partition of this timber is of majoi interest to the cities of Aberdeen and Hoquiam, on Giays Harbor, where lumber mills, pulp- and paper mills, and woodworking factories are the backbone of their economic life.

hemlock, and is expected to be ready for rvork within a few weeks. Mill 3 is intended to cut cedar chiefly, but also is arranged for hemlock or small fir. It and the shingle plant, in which 16 upright machines will be installed, have just been begun recently. The other parts of the establishment now running are the pump hodse, the power house, the stackers, part of the 5O kilns that will .serve the mills for the first few year!, the unstacker shed and sorting works, the largest single planing mill in America, the storage sheds that rvill house part of the 100,000,000-foot stock that will be carried at Longview, and the car-loading and vessel-loading facilities.

One of the most interesting things about this property is that the great expanse oI land it occupies, two miles long and half a mile wide,'ivas largely filled by hydraulic dredging of the river. This brought the site up to a 16-foot grade and at the same time provided for ocean-going cargo vessels to call at the plant.

Along the rvhole stretch of river front, a dyke was built to a height of 30 feet. This has necessitated the construction of extraordinarily long log slips from the water to each mill. The "drag" is 700 feet long in each case.

Mill t has one large head rig, rvhich breaks down logs, most of which come in 48-foot lengths, into cants. These go clear to the rear of the mill. where they are graded and cut to the desired lengths. Then they are put to either one of two pony rigs-eight-foot, double-cutting bands-or sent to the gang.

In the back of this mill is more edger capacity and more trimmer capacity than in any other mill built so far, so that the lumber will be completely manufactured before it reaches the grading point. In each mill there are two long sorting chains so that, as nearly as possible, all clear lumber can be assembled on one sorter and all common on another.

Nearby Mill 1, on the downstream side, is the wharf, 14O feet wide and. I7ffi feet long, at which four ships can berth at once. Adjoining it is a storage space with a capacity of 17,000,000 feet. This storage is served by two gantry cranes with double gantries extending on each side of the crane runway. From the storage runway to the wharf, high speed motor carriers of the type that straddle their loads will transport the unit packages to be put aboard by the ship slings. Shed stock will be brought to the wharf on a standard gauge railroad and rvill be lifted from the cars to the ship side by a great gantry straddling the track.

Mandy Brown, colored member of his congregation, had been complaining bitterly to Parson Brown, the leader of the local flock of colored followers of the Lord's Navy, of the way her husband had been treatingher,and the preacher had exhausted hiswits making suggestions for straightening out their matrimonial tangle. Nothing he

"Mandy, has you tried heapin' coals of fiah on his haid?"

"Nossuh", said Mandy, thoughtfully; "nossuh, Ah ain't tried no coals of fiah, but one night when dis nigguh gits pitticklilly ha'd wid me, Ah gits mighty fine results wid a kittle of boilin' wateh".

Ed. Horr Says There is no Such Person

Oakland, Caiif., July 11,1929. Mr. Jack Dionne, Care The California Lurnber Merchant, 318 Central Bldg., Los Angerles, California.

My dear Jack:

llave reacl your article in the Jull' lst "X'Icrchatrt," entitled "He Didn't Believe in Trade Journal Advertising."

Now the man )'ou clescribe ma1' be honest in his convictions but he is rnistaken, nevertheless, for such a persoll as he does not really exist.

This indiviclual islikelv a 100 per cent American rvho starts the da1.by arising fronr a "Seeley" mattress to bathe in a "Crane" tub,then lathers rvith "Colgates" Cream applied rvith a "Rubberset" brush, afterr,vards shaving with a "Gil,lette", procee<ling to a breakfast of "Srvift's Premium", couplecl l'ith tl.re rvell knorvn "hen fruit."

He likely drives to his offir:e in his "Iluick," sits himself at his "Derby" desk, talks to the "Dictaphone", these notes being transcribed on an "Unclerr'r,ood" and signed 'ivith a "Duofold."

Later he may play golf r,vith a "Spalding" club, afterr.vards joining his friends at the nineteenth for a drink of "Canada Dry"r' cooled in a "Frigiclaire."

And so on unto the end. l;ttt of course he <loes not ltelieve in tradejournal advertising because he does not use any of tlre things that are sold in magazine advertisements, an<l whether the interest is created through the columns of "The Saturday Evening Post" or "The California Lttmber Merchant" it is there just the same, and the results are always alike.

There are only one roller resaw and vertical resaw for splitting miscuts or any.thing on the edge, waney edges and such like. With the intention of doing all the work on the pony rigs, the gang and the head rig, only one ordinarv resaw is installed.

for 50,000,000 feet of lumber "in the bark," and the sorting works which are more extensive and elaborate than any others built so far. In brief, this arrangement consists of four channels, formed of piling, extending downstream from the dumping pond. Long fir logs are directed into the

outermost channel, down which they are conveyed by the river current to the slip of Mill 1. Similarly,. the second channel conducts short fir and hemlock to Mill 2, and. the third and fourth ones, respectively, deliver cedar toMill 3 and the shingle plant.

This succession of great structures-the log dump and sorting works, the shingle ;ilant, Mill 3, Mill 2, the pump house and power house, Mill I and the wharf and its sortage -stretch in a line down the river side of the property. On the inside is another line of huge buildings-the stackers, kilns and unstackers, rough dry storage sheds, planing mill and loadins shed. Lumber from the two sorters of Mill I, 1, loading of the two of Mill 2 and the sinole sorter of Mill 3 wil single sorter will be deIivered on industrial cars by bridge cranes. These cars will

convey it to the yard if it is destined for yard drying or else to the drykiln for storage.

Three stackers have been provided .in connection with the five groups of 10 kilns each. The lumber will be flatstacked. After leaving thekilns,the lumber will pass through the lower story of the unstacker shed and then will be elevated to the second floor. There'three unstackers and three sorters are installed, which permit of another re-sorting ifit is needed, after which the material will go on to the rough dry storage sheds. There are two of these served with bridge type cranes.

Such, in a general way, is the new plant. It was designed by A. H. Onstad, plant architect and engineer of 'Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, with the assistance of Harry Pannlng and a large corps of engineers in the company's headquarters at Tacoma. Chris Moffat is superintendent of construction, and has had the assistance of 16 foremen.

THE MERRY HEART

The merry heart, the merry heart, Of heaven's gifts I hold thee best; And they who feel its pleasant throb, Though dark their lot, are truly blest.

From youth to age it changes not, In joy and sorrow still the same; When skies are dark, and tempests scowl, It shines a steady beacon flame.

It gives to beauty half its power

The nameless charm worth all the rest: The light that dances o'er the face, And speaks of sunshine in the breast.

If beauty ne'er had set her seal, It well supplies her absence, too; And many a cheek looks passing fair Because a merry heart shines through.

SCIENTIFIC ACCOUNTING

A wholesaler had a lot of trouble getting a certain client to pay his bills-not to pay them promptly, but to pay them at all. Finally he wrote the merchant a rather threatening letter, and in reply received the following communication:

Dear Sir:- What do yow mean by sending me a letter Iike the one you wrote on tle tenth inst.? I know how to run my business. I

Every month I place glll my bills in a basket and then figure out how much mond I have to pay on my accounts. Next I btindfold my bookkeeper and have her draw as many bills out of the basket as I have money to pay for.

If you don't likemy way of doing things I won't even put your bills in the basket.

DREAMING

Do you remember the hero in "The Rover", one of Conrad's books-the one who had his ship in the harbor always ready for a cruise but who never went anywhere? He found his fun in knowing that he was fpee to go. Thus life in the little house by the Mediterranqfr never wearied him. Tomorrow, or the next day,\r gbssibly the day after, he intended to sail for some stra\gp port. If you feel tied, there may bb a- suggestion in this lor you. Let your imagination carry you to freedom from all things that keep you enslaved. Make your mental life so rich that the limitations of part of your actual life will seem insignificant to you.Dreier.

CAN'T

"I can't" is a foolish expression'Tis really a coward's confessionSomehow or other it always comes back Stealing the good things we already lack, Bringing us nothing but trouble and care, Leaving us hopelessly sunk in despair, But there's never a day

When the world can say That a man's not a man,, if he dare.

"I will" is a wonderfut bfssing, A heart full of courage e\pressing. Somehow or other it brings us success, Fills us with joy that we cannot repress, Gladdens our friends, makes their burdens more light, Places a star in our crown every night, For there's never a day

When the world cannot say That a man's not a man, if he'll fight.

Use Douglas Fir and Plywood in Super Warships

A recent account of the new stlper warships built by Great Britain includes the follorving interesting reference to Douglas fir and plyrvood :

"The rveather decks rvere sheathed u'ith Douglas fir in lieu of the cttstomary teak, the loss in r'*.eariuq qualities and appearance being sacrificed for lightrress". said Sir Berry. "Plywood was largely ttsed for drvarf and clivisional bulkheads, not of importance for strength purposes. The heavier standard articles of furniture u'ere redesigr.red and very considerably lightened, and here again plyrvood rvas extensively used. All rvood fittings rvere fireproofecl by 'oxylene' process !"

The above information is of particular interest in vierv o{ the fact that Great Britain, rvhich is knorvn the rvorld over for solid building. selects these commodities to l.re usecl in their first line of defense.

"Moose" Redling Makes Fine Pitching Record

Baseball scribes in Southern California are busy this summer lauding the excellent chucking record of Chas. "Moose" Redling, gtar pitcher on the Ingleu'ood High School team. "Moose" is not the only star pitcher in the Redling family, as his brother Frank who is connected rvith the Los Angeles office of the J. R. Hanify Co., pitched rnany r-ictories for the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club team a ferv years ago.

The Inglewood High School team has won the B"y league championship for the past tvr,'o seasons. Here is "Moose" Redling's record for the past season; won 7 games ; lost none; struck out 76; allowed 1 earned run; only 3 runs scored against him; pitched 4 shut-out games : walked 12 batters; no wild pitches.

Many of the coast league mag- nates are trying to get him to sign his name on the dotted line. On the last trip of the Oakland team to Los _Angeles, he rvas at lVrigley Field warming up with the Oakland team, and needlJss to say. brother Frank was on the side-lines to see how ,,Moos6'i p_erformed. However,. before entering on a baseball career, "M.oose." will probably complete his-studies at high schooi and college.
