(Associated Presa Photo) FANDOM AT RANDOM By DICK APPIsRGATR The annual disinterment of base ball Is getting under way In Mod ford. Annually the process has to be re peated, the few glimmers of life from the season berore having long since put the other foot In the grave and dlea entirely over the winter month. Some there are who believe the "na tional pastime" should be left to rot In pence Instead of being Jerked out of the tomb each year to stand, blink ing decayed and ashamed In front of the mere handful of fans who turn out for the games. tn the emaciated condition that the game has been here for the past fw years, perhaps It would be better off dead. The players, If they de pended on the gate receipts, would starve to death under the usual con ditions here, but so great Is their Interest In the game that they labor all week .knocking apples or pluok liU pears so that they can play In a league game on Sunday. With that kind of lntereat imo;.; the playera, It Is not impossible thai baseball be revived In the city. But If such la to be the case, It la going to have to be done In a radically dif ferent manner than that pursued In the past. Prom a disinterested standpoint, here are the things we think are needed to render artificial respiration to baaeball. If these things are done, the game may eventually recover It wind, and be able to shift for Itself. Here they are: Primarily, the game should be handled by business men, those who have (he best standing In tha community. A board of three or four u oh men who are Inter ested tn the game, and these men should have charge of all dis bursements. The money to get the season started could be raised by subscription from those mer rhtants In the city who reel that they will get some return for their money. The games should be arranged to that fans will have an oppor tunity to see the best teams In the lewue at leal twice on the home groundn, and good traveling teams should be Induced to come here. An Important point would ' be to absolutely forbid the over stating of the pro!) nit le strength of a vltltliig team, for the simple reamn that disappointed fani won't return. Team rules should be rMab lUhed and rigidly adhered to, with a positive ban on Jumping of players from one team to an other. And finally, the team mould hare a manager who la rerognlred as aMolute boss. whne word In riUpntM amnn Ba&rgaisi Fares an California mi 1st Amftltt PRIZE ROOKIE the players would be final. When these things are followed, and .only when they are, will baseball hare p chance to come back here. This making of a hole In one Is getting to be a cinch. Time was when anyone who could sink hla tee shot was considered aome sort of athletic freak, to be looked up to and ad mired from afar. The feat was suf ficiently rare to elicit gifts of goir 1 ng merchandise from all parts of the country, and at one time v remember an offer of a onse of beet from some bl concern.'' Now It Is all looke d on -rather calmly. In the past few weeks Hank Prlngle and Bob Hammond have turned tn dodos. Yesterday deorge Phythtan Joined the ranks of 'singletons." To revive interest ln the hole In one, since revivals are the order of the day, we would like to suggest a turnament In which qualifications would be having never once made the cup with a single wal lop. The fact that playera would have to be summoned 'from all over the state before enough could be gathered together for a game, should make It of real Importance.

Chick resd of the Jrlvo In a Los Angeles psper while wrestling there, and upon hla arrival nere expressed a desire to aid In thj work of rounding up the nags. While working on a big cattle ranch In Wyoming, Chick once rode In a drive wherein over 2.000 horses war gathered In. "They weren't reallv what you could call "wild horses, Chick sa.d, explaining that they were 'range" horses, or horses that had gone native after escaping from a regulnr herd of domestic anlmsls. According to the cowpoke, there u a distinction between a wild horse and a range horse. The range horse has generally been branded, but while very young. The owner has not seen the animal since the branding, and It has Joined a nerd. These herds, usually of 10 to 30 (not more) horses, are led by one stallion, which rules over the band No other atalllons are allowed on the range, and If another puts In an ap pearance, the two battle, generally ti the death, Chick said. The big rodeo rider expressed doub' that many of the Applegate horses were truly wild, that la, born In the oen country, never seeing a jrand of parents who were either wild o: range stock. He said that there ire very few truly wild horses ,eft, pos hibly a few In Nevada and In Wyom ing. The range horses, or mustangn. or knot-heads, are practically as wll : as any wild horse, so the distinction Is a narrow one. Chick admitted. Asked If any of the range horse, ure ever good for riding, he said. tha: many were. "A pony born In the open and raised there Is ss sure looted as a wild goat." he said, pointing out that a range horse thst haa been tamed can take a rider at a uead run across broken country, never stepping n holes ind with a sense of balance never equalled by a corral-bred horse "Those little mustangs csn tak) you places at gallop where a pur bred horse would either kill you o hlmse.'' . Asked If the range hoTses were hard to tame, he said that sometimes thev were refractory for a time, but that "any horso on earth can be tamed b kindness If you Just take the trouble to trest him that way." Range norses frequent the highest levels of the mountains. Chick aala and live on grass snd other vegeta tion that would hardly keep a sheop alive, mr that reason they are gen erally sir.all, skinny and practically useless unless taken In time. "I love horses," Chick said, and stated that he hated to see them starve In the hills. Be also hates to see them rounded up and shot, he ssld, but added that he realised that waa sometimes the only thing posslbl.1 to do. Lea Port, ranger at the Star range station who will aid In the drive, atated that the men hope to be abl to atari the drive Saturday or Bun day. The big log carrol and chute na . been almost completed, with the fin ishing touches to be put on this week. Chick has not yet been able to con tact the ranger, but If hla otter to aid is accepted he may send for his ow. horse In Los Angeles, or procure good horse In this district. Silver.
