rpllIS country is noted for the size nnd number of frogs.
-L Tho maTshcs nre literally choked with them nnd the
merest tyro can go out nt night nnd get a sack of frogs,
many of them ns large as young chickens.
lioth tho Cards and Athletics have had some frog
hunting pnrties. A nntive goes along with n lantern nnd
guides the tosscrs into the marshes where the frogs nre
merrily crooking.
A party of Cardinals vent on Mich nn expedition tlie
other night, but they will never go ngnln. In addition to
frogs they encountered scores of venomous moccasin
snakes. The players were in mortal fear of being bitten,
for nt every step n reptile hissed and darted away. Hut
they were fortunate -.nough not to be struck by any
poisonous fangs. The guide said the feaV of the players
was justified, ns he himself had never seen so many
moccasins in one night before.
Tho Macks became acquainted with a moccasin on
the way to Ornnge. The Southern Pacific train carrying
them stopped nt a small station. There were swnmps all
nround and on nearly every log there were turtles sun
ning. Charley Hickett hurled a rock at a turtle and was
surprised to stir up a big moccasin.
Moccasins, vhen not cornered, retrent. The snake
glided along the lily pails and shallow water in plnin sight.
Everybody in the baseball party now jumped off the train
and picked up rocks and threw tliem at the serpent.
THE moccniin, hoircvcr, irns sicift and agile and
soon disappeared in the fastness of the sicamp.

.Many MiKKcstions from coaches and
oflicials throiiRliout the country were
before the committee, who indicated to
day that few, if any, of the proposal
had met with favor. Their opinion np-
pea red to he that the game is gotrd
enough as it utands.
All members of the committee, with
the exception of Dr. Carl Williams, of
the I nlver.sity of Pennsylvania, were in '

While it wns admitted late that some

the committee preferred to wait until

Ilefiire the meeting the comniiltee
mi inborn religiously avoided any ex

with the game, so that it was impos
sible to determine the fate of any ques

deep interest shown by nearly every
person in this city over the annual mi
gration of shnil in the Delaware river,
The Delaware shad is generally re
garded as superior in llavor to all
others of the species with tho possible
exception of those which enter the Con
necticut river, nnd not Excepting the
admittedly high-grade flsb of the Sus
quehanna. Since Colonial days there have been
two periods of cnormoim supply nnd
two of great scarcity. One of the lnttcr
which is now being experienced, began
just twenty years ago. The first period
of scarcity wns duo apparently almost
altogether to careless and destructive
methods of fishing, nnd its lowest ebb
wns reached about 1880, when tho na
tional government and a little later the
state of Pennsylvania began tne worn
of what is called artificial propagation.
Tlie results were little short of mar
velous. Within ten yenrs the catches
annually exceeded anything known in
the iirst period of plenty. The indus
try of catching great food fish reached
its zenith nbout 1808, but held fairly
well for two or three years longer,
until 1000, in fact, when there was a
sharp nnd decided decline, a decline
that has been continuous.
Don't Llko Cold Water
Tlie principal cause for the sudden
decline in the beginning" of the new
century nnd for n few years thereafter,
was easily traceable. It is ft fact
known to lishculturists that shad will
not freely enter n river from tlicir un
known home in the ocean until the
water tempernture has reached ap
proximately sixty degrees, and only n
few scntter ne fish will venture wuu
fresh
water must be nt least sixty before the,
fish will ripen their eggs and go through
the function of spawning.
In the year 1000, just ns the fish
were about assembling at the mouth
of Delaware bay there came great snow
falls in the mountains of northeast
Pennsylvania and In the Delaware
watershed of New York sending the
water temperature down below forty de
grees, and the wntcr remained cold
until early June.
The catch was cut nearly in half
that year. For several seasons fol
lowing weather nnd wntcr conditions
in the spring were- nearly the enrac,
Few ripo f-had were found by the
fish culturists nnd consequently the
numtmr of nlind fry planted yearly
was pltifiillv small proportionately,
compared with the number of fish
caught.
(Hie season there were, only 120 ripe
females taken, or -1.O00.000 eggs. Of
these about .'1.000,000 were hatched nnd
the fry planted.
According to careful estimates, only
about .'lO.OOO of these fry were likely to
live until they reached tho sea in the
autumn. P.etwcen that tlmo nnti ma- i
turity a tremendous proportion, prob- j
ablv more than fiO per cent, were de
voured or otherwise met with fatal
mishap.
Consequently there would be less
thnn lo.OOO mnture shnd of the original
: artificial hatching to enter tho river.
I Tlie total catch tlie year the eggs were
' taken was more than 00,000.
Of course, there was natural propaga
tion that year, but It is safe to assume
thai the number did not exceed that
performed by human agencies at the
Torresdale hatchery.
The figures given nre fairly repre
sentative of every year since 1000.
I'nder these circumstances there can be
no alternative but extinction of the
shnd unless conditions change.

sequently, excepting under one clr

Put there nre other conditions which
malie for the same deplorable end. The
spawning grounds in the Delnware

bv the necessary deepening of the chan

hurt to tlie once great fisheries at Wash

Increased water pollution is also n big
factor. Increased navigation Is prob
ablv another. The shad is nn exceed

Dill Flollenback han not: ns yet ac
cepted the post of bnckfleld coach of the
University ot Pennsylvania football
team for next fall. This developed Inst
night when the list of assistant coaches
for next season was announced by the
athletic council which lind just approved
them. According to acting graduate
manager of athletics, Edward Bushncll,
tho football committee is still negotiating
with Hollenback.
The list ns given out by the council Is
virtually the same as published in tho
columns of this paper yesterday, as
follows :
A. B. Zlegler. 'Oflf
George "Ixzy" Letcne, '07.
Louis A. Young, '13.
I)e ncnnevlllo "Bert" Bell, '20.
Hobnrt Light. '20.
Thomas McNamara, '22.
John J. Keogh, '12.
While the report could not be con
firmed it is stnted that Bert Bell, cap
tain of the 1010 Red and Blue team,
had accepted the post offered by the
football committee and vuld be nn as
sistant next fall. According to the
statement "of tho nthletic council tho
nbove named coaches have not been
assigned to any particular branch of
coaching nnd will be subject to the
direction of Head Coach Hcisman.
The council nlso reported that Dr.
Arthur, Light, who looked after tho
pains nnd bruises of the team last fall,
would occupy the same post next Benson.
Imwson Kobortson, wno trained coi
well's team ln 1010 but who last year
was inactive in that enpacity, will have
charge of the physical condition of the
tenni next fall, according to the coun
cil's stntcment.
Five members of the coaching staff
of last year will not bo active this
venr. They are Charles 13. ("Buck")
Whnrton, the line coaching wizard;
Byron Dickson, Heisman's assistant
Inst fall; Hunter Scarlett, member of
tho ndvifcory board; Ernie Cozr-cns, of
tho same board, and Charles E. Kcin-.
nth, who looked after tho backs. In
addition, there will not be nn advisory
board such as existed last year.
Pall practice will start on September
5 on Franklin Field. less than three
weeks before tho opening game of the
season with Delaware,
Though the council reported that tho
conches would bo assigned Dy Coach
Hcisman, it is expected that Gus Z eg
lcr will look after the line, Hobey Light
after the tackling and interfering. Bert
Bell the quarterbacks, Lou Young ttie
backs, George Lcvenc tho ends, Dr.
Jolfh Keogh the freshmen and Tom
McNamirn tho scrubs.
The council appointed D. E. Wil
linms,' who managed the track team ln
his senior year, 1UU ns Tenn's repre
sentative on the advisory committee of
tlie Intercollegiate Asociation. At a
recent meeting in Now York the com
mittee was enlarged from three to live

The ghost of a tergeant growls "Fall
TVAcro croMM feoi to a drab March
rain.
There are restless feet as the gray
mists spin
By the Aleuse and ilarne, by the Ourcq
ana Atsne.
With ruttu rifle and roliino loot
abhor;
They break from tho clay their souls
"Right Dressl" and "Frontl" With
the old salute,
"All present, air, or accounted for."
Their tattered khaki is mired and torn
IV Aero stain onco came from a crimson
fount.
Their packs are gone and their shoes
are worn,
But they're only ghosts, so it doesn't
count.
They are only ghosts, but an ancient
glow
As bright as a red dawn down the glen
lias caught their eyes, as they whisper
low
"Orders are in and it's home tgain."
Home again by Iho long, long trail
Through shattered valley and Hasted
track,
Where they stood in front of tho leaden
hail, ,
Moving on to the next attack.
A story now that is overtold,
And one, perhaps, that may weary you,
But day by day as the thunder rolled
The lengthening line of tho crosses
grew.
Then from their coverlets of grass
They watched the seasons come and go.
They saw the poppies bloom and pass,
And bloom again m a cn'mion row,
While they still dreamed of one great
day
Where, from their barracks built of
loam,
Their silent tramp would find the way
That led again to the hills of home.
You may not mark their eager zest,
Their cheering shouts fAcir loifd
AtirraA
Who see their broken olay at rest
Beneath the Flag's protecting stars.
And yet dead soldiers havo their
dreams
That even leap the alien sea,
Of ancient lancSj and singing streams,
And summer sktes that use to be.
The war is over and out of mind,
And we havo forgotten you and I,
Most of tho mates who stayed behind
To see the poppies bloom ana ate
And bloom again, in endless store,
Until by mounted plain and glen
A sergeant growls "Fall In" once
more
As lost lanes whisper "Some again!"
"piJTH," nays a critic, "is worth

In this case it must be a terrific blow to
his owners to know that in the last six
weeks he has worked off fifteen precious
pounds.

The Two Cups
A NUMBER of English sporting
writers have contended that Inas
much as an American prcsontcd tho
Davis Cup for tennis, an Englishman
or a Scot should havo been the one
to present an international cup for
golf. This point would have been better
taken if an Englishman or a Scot bad
only done so.
International golf relations between
the two countries have now been under
way for seventeen years, dating back to
the Travis triumph in 1004. Jf nt any
porlod stneo a British sportsman bid
offered an international cup for golf w
are quito certain that tho United State,
would havo accented tho challengo with '
eagerness.
But seventeen years seems to Im loir
cnouh to wait. And no ono thinks of
tho Davis Cup being ah American tro
phy. It is nn International trophy with-
out a boundary.
There Is still another feature attached
to the Walker Cup for golf-it isn't
compulsory. Thcro is no law that can
mako any ono,natlon enter a team.
