M'CLOSKEY HURLS SHUTOUT BALL
AHD MOOSE WIN FROM A-J, 1 T01
/
With his team giving him almost
errorless support. Jimmy McCloskey
was too much for the Miners last
night and the Moose added another
scalp to their string, winning T to
1. Jimmy really pitched shutout
ball and but for a dropped fly in the
sixth inning would have achieved
that result. Andrews, who was on
the mound for the ore-sortprs, was
almost as effective as McCloskey
but his own wildness in the first in
nlng. and poor support in the third,
fourth and sixth brought about the
Minefs- downfall.
McCloskey tjyirled the best game
seen on the local diamond this sea
son and one hardly ever excelled.
He yielded hut three hits, one a two
bagger: struck out 11 men, and is
sued but one pass. But five halls
were hit out of the infield, three be
ing safeties, the other two fly balls.
In four out qf the seven innings but
three men faced h^n. in one font
and two others five.
Andy Pitches Wei!
With any support, Andy's pitch
ing would have been good enough to
win nine out of ten baseball games.
He struck out twelve men, allowed
but five hits, no more than two in
any one inning. Jorgenson's inability
to peg the bases and wild heaves, a
couple of bad throws by Parmakoff
and a dropped fly by John Me
Laughltn, coupled with Andy's own
wildness marred an otherwise stellar
game.
Andy presented tne Moose with
ihelr first run. In the first inning,
after retiring the first two batters
via the strikeout route, he was
nicked for a single hv Henry. Andy
then uncorked a wild pitch, Henry
going to second. Camara walked
and he and Henry pulled a double
steal. Gene McCloskev was hit by
a pitched hall thus filling the hags
Jimmy McCloskey drew a pass
Henry crossing the plate with a
gift run. Koskey fanned for the
third out.
Wabbles in Third
The Miners wobbled badly in the
third when without a hall being hit
out of the infield and not a single
lilt being registered, three runs were
scored by the Moose. With one
down. Henry drew a pass, advanced
to second on a passed trail by Jor
genson and stole third standing up
Camara hunted to Andy who threw
to the plate to head Henry. The
latter made his way safely back t«
third while Jorgenson held the bal'
too long before throwing. Camara
in the meantime going on to second
E. McCloskey hunted to Andy, who
bluffed Henry back to the bac and
threw 'Gene cut nf first. When
Gnmnra dashed for third on the plav
the Miners ballooned. Agnew threv.
the ball to second Henry headed
for home and Parmakoff heaved the
pill into the p»anut stand, both
Henry and Camara scoring .1 Me
Closkey walked anil stole second
He headed fer third and Jorgenson
threw the hall to the left field foul
flag. Jimmy scoring Andv took
no more chances and fanned Koskey.
Presented Another in Pou^th
The Moo"1 Wpre presented with
another in *hr* fourth. Bill Beaudin
singled, stole second and third and
came home on a wild pitch.
In the sixth the Moose added two
more which th"v didn't need W’th
two men out H'dii'e Messersi lim.dt
doubled Po*he"o hit a poo fly back
of short which John McLaughlin
dropped after a hard run. snorlns
Hetnle. 11° stole second and s* ored
on Henrv's lour sinsle.
Heinie Makes Good Ca*ch
Heinie Mess'-rschm'dt made an a'
most impossible catch In the third
which cut off two runs. Jorgenson
and Parmakoff singled with one
down. M"Closkey tightened up and
struck out John McLaughlin. An
drews hit a flv down the right field
foul line which looked like a sure
hit and both runners headed for
home. Heine on a dead run across
the rocky field managed to thrust
Ms gloved hand under the hall which
Btruck squarely and stuck' It was
a great stab and drew a big hand
from the fans.
The Miners' only run came in the
sixth. Parmakoff led off with a
two bagger to left center, his sec
ond hit of the game. After John
McLaughlin had fanned, Andrews
drove a high fly to right center
which Buster Orme got under after
a long chase, *but dropped the ball
and Gabe scored, Andy died on
first when Jim McLaughlin fouled
out and Agnew rolled an easy one
in front of the plate going out Ga

BREAD TREE IS
TO BE STUDIED
HONOLULU, T. H. August 3—A
collection of breadfruit trees of the
Pacific region may be established
here for study, propagation, and
further dissemination, as the result
of a suggestion from P. J. Webster,
of the Department o Agriculture and
Natural Resources of the Bureau of
Agriculture of the Philippine
Islands.
In a letter received by Governor
Wallace R. Farrington, and Dr. H.
E. Gregory, director of the Bishop
Museum here, Webster requerted
their co-operation and asked whether
it would be possible for the muBeum
to furnish the land on which to
plant the trees. Dr. Gregory ex
pressed the opinon that the museum
might be able to set aside a tract
for the purpose. Governor Farring
ton has placed the matter in the
hands of the Chamber of Commerce.
The collection, It 1s said, would be
the only one of Its kind in the
world and would include specimens
ot breadfruits of all the islands of
(lie Pacific.
Sympathies of War
Veterans with Gibbons
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 3. — That
the sympathies of war veterans were
with Tommy Gibbons in his recent
combat with Jack Dempsey is indi
cated by reports from State conven
tions of the American Legion, re
ceived at National headquarters of
the veterans' association in Indian
apolis.
Legionnaires of South Carolina, in
convention assembled, wired congra
ulations to Gibbons for his showing
against the world's champion, who Is
unpopular with veterans because he
served in the shipyards during the
war. A resolution regretting that
Gibbons “failed to knock Jack Demp
sey's block off.'' was adopted by
the executive committee of the Ari
zona department.

about 100.000 chests of opium a
year, mostly to China; now her ex
ports are only 8,000 chests, almost

ALASKANS PLAN
! MOOSE FARMING
: ANCHORAGE. Aug. 2. Moose farm
! Ing may be conducted on the same
general scale as cattle raising, with
the added advantage that It is not
necessary to feed the animals if a
good birch cover Is available ac
cording to experts here. Two moose,
captured and brought to Anchorage
■to be shipped to the States for propa
gation purposes, have deserted all
other natural foods for alfalfa hay
and ordinary grazing grass, and took
to a grain diet in winter.
The care of the moose has raised
the question of propagation for do
mestic use as well as to conserve
the animals, which, last winter, died
by thousands because of the ravages
which atu every live birch to a height
j of four feet, leaving the animals
i only such limbs as were out of the
! reach of rabbits.
! With the revelation in connection
with the propagation of moose is
i the one showing that reindeer adapt
, themselves to the food in the region
i in which they are grazing, and turn
1 to reindeer moss only when there
i are no firewoods and similar growth,
j The moss is an auxiliary feed in
i winter, being the only ground plant
| that does not freeze, but like the
[ birch trees it retains sustenance for
1 herbivorous animals
i There are wide areas in Alaska
i unfitted for anything except moose
I range, local men point out, and steps
are being taken with ,a view to es
tablishing the first moose ranch
near Anchorage where conditions are
said to be ideal for the animals.
