j eine which proved to he

ley said.
These small fish are oc
cupying waters heretofore
'entirely barren of salmon be
cause of the barrier tails,
Stockley said. He added that
the small salmon are about 30
I millimeters in length and ap
pear to be healthy fish.
At present, the Waterways
Construction Company of
Juneau is constructing a
series of salmon ladders that
will permit Stockley’s salmon
to return to the lake and river j
for spawning after they have
completed the regular cycle.
A replicia of the salmon
ladders is on display at Knud

FROM THE PRESS BOX
by
Lefty Craft, JOC USN|
The gents who write the
sports features seem to have
muffed what was perhaps the
most dramatic moment in the
history of baseball; an event
which, for sheer psychologi
cal horror, has never been
equalled since that day May
15, forty years ago when Ty
Cobb charged into the grand
stand at the New York High
landers’ Hilltop Park, grabbed
a crippled fan who had been
heckling him, gave him a
severe beating and incurred
an indefinite suspension that
resulted in the historic play
ers’ strike of 1912.
j This epic affair worthy of
j filmland’s greatest dramas,
' was the sale by the Washing
ton Senators to the Philadelp
hia Athletics of outfielder
Sherry Robertson Mr. Robert,
son is a nephew of Clark
Griffith woo owns the Sena
tors, and the keenest obser
vers in the business never ex
pected to see the day when
, Mr. Griffith would be forced
! to sell one of his kin.
xh in no i/ uc recurueu tnat ior
many a long year the Wash
ington Senators have consisted
mainly of Cubans—and Clark
Griffith’s relatives. True, one
of old Griffith’s son-in laws,
namely Joe Cronin, left the
club as a “boy wonder” to
join the Boston Red Sox where
he is now general manager—
but that was a voluntary move
natural to a young man eager
to better himself, an achieve
men, which can be managed
only by leaving the payroll of
he Washington Senators.
But the case of Sherry
Robertson was different. Old
Griff, you may be sure, had
no alternative but to sell him.
Just picture the scene: poor
old Griff, crowding 80, faced
with the horrible task of sell
ing Old Dobbin in the best
tradition of the more bucolic
melodramas.
There’s the floor-pacing,
provided Griff is still equal to
it, the nail biting, the putting
off; then, wrestling with his
conscience which is reportedly!
very large except in the pay
roll department.
Or perhaps, the scene would
be more like that in which the
canibal tribesman watches his
daughter being sold to the
highest bidder at auction
somewhere in the jungle. Of
course, in the case of Robert
| son, old Griff would be pre
sumed to hold out for a de
! cent price.
