In 1925, when !he played but ninety-five games, !he walked only 64 times. But he has done a lot of walking since then; 144 in 1926, 138 times in 1927, 135 in 1928, seventy-two in 1929, 136 in 1930 and 128 in 1931.

MAKING SURVEY [Thirty-day Session Ends at | Midnight—Reports on Operations Scarce ! Trapping in Southeast Alaska, except for muskrats, will come to end at midnight today after a 30- day open season. Muskrats may be taken legally until April 30. Reports of catches received at \local headquarters of the Alaska |Game Commission have been tco | scattering to indicate how plenti- (ful, or scarce, fur-bearers are in the districi, it was said by E. M. Goddard, Acting Executive Officer. While the number of trapping licenses issued for the district this season was about normal, apparent- ly there were fewer trappers in the field, he added. Interest was less keen than usual, due largely to the low prices for furs. Wardens left here and Peters- burg this morning to make a check of operations, seal pelts wherever necessary, and make a study of conditions both of game and fur- bearing animals, Warden Frank Dufresne left here on the patrol ship Seal, Capt. J. O. Sellevold, and Warden Homer Jewell left Petersburg on the Sea Otter, Capt. K. C.
