Dan was doubtful about the success of the experiment, but he felt that he had to take a chance and Otis Brannon and Ralph Kress were sent out to take care of the middle of the in- field. The St. Louis manager looked at Kress with some misgivings. Only 21 years of agé, Kress is the junior member of the Tulsa firm, for Brannon is an elderly player of 25. Brannon had played for several years in the minors, while Kress was in the majors with only one season of preparation. “Brannon knows what about and he ought to go along pretty well,” said Managér How- ley at the West Palm Beach train- ing camp of the Browns, “but it's asking a lot of a ‘kid’ like Kress to throw him in there and tell him to sink or swim. But I have to do it. 1 would rather let him stick around awhile. But the situation is so desperate I can’t wait.” Both Brannon and Kress have played good ball for the Browns, but Kress has shown much great- er ability as a batsman. He started with such a rush that he was many points ahead of his Tulsa colleague when the early averages were compiled. JUST.

The Brooklyn Rob- ins boast in Jigger Statz and Dazzy Vance, two who can hit them far and straight. Sam Rice of the Senators and Eppa Rixey of the Reds are also fair players. ——e—— GAMES SUNDAY Pacific Coast League Portland 1, 6; Seattle 5, 8. Hollywood 3, Los Angeles 4, 4.

It is to carry two tons of cop- per ore from the mine to the smelter, 30 miles away, schedule that calls for a dozen trips a day. An airplane could cover the distance in 20 minutes The narrow guage railroad that now winds among the peaks takes 20 hours. So far, the department is in formed, the plans are only tenta- tive, but it is proposed to use a fri‘motored plane ecarrying just enough gas for an hour's flying, 0 that unnecessary weight may be eliminated. Construction of | landing fields and other facilities | is being planned with tifa assist-)! ance of the department. | Canada also is impressing the airplane into its mining service A new company proposes ‘to use planes to explore mineral areas and carry prospectors into the bush and bring them back quick Iy to record their claims. Lar planes, four of which already have been ordered, will follow the scouts with equipment ‘and engi neers.
