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.

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.

STAR OF RODEOS
OFFERS HELP IN
With li.terest In the wlld-hors-roundup
on the Applegate Increasing
every dsy. the newest recruit to the
ranka of those who would like to per
Uclpate in the drive Is Dude Chick
cx-rodeo star, movie rider, cow-puncher
and wrestler. 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.
