Chance has won a pennant with every major league team of which he has been in charge except in 1905 and ln 1909. The Cubs of 1905 lost tho oervlces of the lamented Selee. in mid-season and Chance, his successor, established his reputation as a leader by securing third place. New York won, witli Pittsburg as the runner-up. The Athletics have made a credit¬ able record during Philadelphia’s membership in the American league, but Mack has never been able to win two successive flags. In 1901, the initial season of the American league, the Athletics finished fourth. The White Sox carried off the honors of the year. In 1902 the team that Me Graw dubbed the "White Elephants," CINCINNATI SECURES A STAR Dave Altizer, Who Has Contributed Much to Success of Minneapolis, Is Drafted. 1 One hundred and fifteen minor league players were drafted by the 16 clubs of the two major leagues when the national baseball commission met at Cincinnati recently. Of these the National league secured 67. while the American league got only 48. The Brooklyn club of the National league secured 15 players: the New York Nationals were the next for¬ tunate In the draw, as they secured 13 players: Philadelphia Nationals came next with 12 players secured: Chicago Nationals were fourth in point of num¬ ber with 11 players, while the Chicago Americans secured ten. The others ranged downward to a single player by Detroit, and this one is under investigation, so that Detroit / mm & • - M V iff, 7 i 1 A l . u fj m- I Ns i ■ \ ✓ Asa# im / ft 1/i » I j < r Dave Altizer. may come out empty-handed in thq draw. St. Louis Nationals did not se cure a player. A little less than 000 was deposited with Bruce of the commission to cover the drafts. One player in particular, Altizer of Minneapolis, was eagerly sought. Every club In leagues wanted him. He was awarded to Cincinnati. Altizer is to take the most leap of all this fall. It Is reported. will march to the altar with one the fair young ladies of Chicago himself to be doubled finished first. Boston beat them out in 1903 and in 1904 Philadelphia tumbled to fifth place. In the next race, the Mackmen qualified as the American league’s representative in the first world’s series conducted un¬ der the auspices of the National Com¬ mission, but were decisively defeated by the New York Giants, and were shut out in four of the five games. Bender blanked the Giants in his team's lone victory. The gameness of the 1910 Athletics has been proved and those who ear¬ lier in the race taunted them as quit¬ ters and predicted that they would not stand the strain, have been si¬ lenced by their sustained steadiness at all stages of the campaign. Most of the veterans are still In line. Coombs, Bender, Plank and Morgan are considered the big four at the Athletic artilerists, but none but Mack knows who will be his slab men in the world's championship series. It Is possible that Krause may be specially prepared for these engagements. H n # Harry Lord has been counted as the classiest of third basemen for the last two seasons. He has been picked on the All-American teams of several of the dopesters. Fred Luderus has already made himself solid with the Philadelphia fans. He looks even better than Bransfield and it is likely that he will soon supplant the veteran. President Herman of the national commission announces the national commission will investigate the plan for two ball clubs to tour the country and will bar league players from the tour if Tex Rickard is backing it. The National commission will not allow the promoters of the All-Na tipnal and All-American teams to get away wi{h it. The commission is right, for the game should be allowed to rest in peace during the off season. Snodgrass, the leading slugger of the National league, is only a young¬ ster, and if he keeps up the record he has set for himself this year he should have a record as good as that of Pop Anson, Ed Delehanty or Honus Wagner, as a great hitter. Cobb of Detroit, Snodgrass of New York Nationals and Lajoie of Cleve¬ land are batting .362, .360 and .359, as named. There is only one automobile to be given to the player having the highest batting average at the end of the official season in both leagues. Pitcher Klettinger of the Clinton team should get a chance to show what he can do in the big leagues after that exhibition against the Cubs a few days ago. Any bush pitcher that can make the coming champions go 11 innings to win a 2 to 1 contest 1 must have something worth trying out in his whip. President Kinsella of the Springfield team, who sold Meloan to Chicago, Is becoming a successful scout. He has sold four more players of his team: Outfielder Shaller to Detroit, Pitcher Willis to the St Louis Browns, Catch¬ er Hartley to Toledo and Pitcher Lau dermilk to the St. Louis Cardinals. Kinsella is said to have 300 players contract HIS CAREER WAS ACCIDENTAL Harry Mclntire, One of the Winning Pitcher* on the Chicago Team, Telia of Start. BY HARRY MclNTIRE. (Copyright, 1910, by Joseph B. Bowles.) My baseball career was rather an accident from the outset. I never had the slightest idea of earning my live¬ lihood playing ball or of taking It up aB a profession. The truth is that I was inclined to go into the priesthood when I was a small boy, and my other ambition was to be a locomotive en¬ gineer. From the time I first can remember I loved baseball and played it, always as a pitcher, if the other fellows would let me, and when they wouldn’t let me pitch I played somewhere else. It was at the Brothers’ school at Dayton, O., that I first belonged to an organized team. I was backstop for the catcher, and very proud to chase balls that went past him. I began to study pitch¬ ing then, for we had a good pitcher on the school team, and I watched to see what he did to puzzle batters. One of the priests had been a pitcher at school, and he taught me some more. 1 remember when he told me that keeping cool and never losing the tem¬ per was a better way of winning than pitching curves. Pretty soon our class team let me pitch, and after a time we tackled the school team and beat them so I was put on the school team. I began to think I knew it all, and it took several beatings to show me how little I knew. When I left school I was looking for a job and a friend of mine, who was playing on the Kankakee (Ill.) Y. M. C. A. club asked me to come over there and pitch for that team. I looked on it just as a summer vaca¬ tion, but made good there and found myself getting along so well I com¬ menced to study pitching seriously as niy profession. It was hard work with many discouragements, but I stuck to it. Every time a batter made a hit off me 1 studied to find why he had hit ■y / % i f > -V V v . Wj t'. HSrry Me Inti re. and what 1 ought to have done to him from hitting hard. The next I arrived at Danville, Ill., anil all summer. There was wise old catcher there who taught a lot, and front there I took a of big jumps into the big league have stuck. I think the great why I have managed to stick that 1 never have stopped study¬ the game and its players. If a man gets to know It all he will be in the bush leagues soon. BROTHERHOOD HAD FAST BALL In 1890 Baseball Players Used Sphere /That Burned Infielders When Hit—Some Batting. Speaking of the rubber-cored ball and the cork-cored ball and likewise the cry for more batting, how many of th<* fans remember the time when a ball was used that did result in ex¬ tra slugging? ln 1890, %vnen the Brotherhood was hatched and tried, there was the same yell for extra batting that you hear today. The Brotherhood decided to gratify the wish, and, first of all, moved the pitcher a foot back. Then they had a special ball built, with twice as much rubber as was contained in the Reach-Spalding globule. The result was batting till you couldn’t rest, but, unfortunately, was also bad fielding. While the new ball went so fast and so burningly that the Infielders had to duck or die. ’it also took weird and inexplicable leaps, and when sail¬ ing for the outfield, would actually turn and wheel away as if blown by the wind. It is the plain truth, and no exag¬ geration, absurd as it may seem, many a time a ball would start for center, and, with the center fielder all set, would swing over and take the right or left fielder off his guard. Batting? Plenty. Pete Browning led with .391. Had the present scor¬ ing rules, which all favor the bats¬ man, been in use, Pete would have been tabbed .450, maybe more. Any time they want more batting, a rub¬ ber-centered ball, with additional rub¬ ber, is the thing to do the work. Browning would have hit about .600 that season with the pitcher as far back as he is now, and using that lively ball. TO FATTEN TURKEYS Approach of Thanksgiving Day Brings Matter Up to Farmer. Demand Is for Plump, Well-Fattened Birds, and Extra Effort Required to Produce This Kind Will Be Well Repaid. With the approach of Thanksgiving and the holiday season, the attention of all who raise poultry naturally turns towards the fattening of the surplus stock, including all the tur¬ keys not to be kept over for breeding purposes. All poultry in proper con¬ dition sells well at this season, but turkeys, particularly, sell best of all. And of all poultry nftne pays so well for the extra flesh put on as the tur¬ key, for the larger the birds are the more we can realize a pound for them, writes W. F. Purdue in Ranch and Range. This being a fact, in the first place every effort should be made by all turkey growers to raise only large birds for the market, as large as is possible to do so without injury to the breeding stock. It is possible to get turkeys too large for breeding pur poses and the turkeys that are over grown and leggy in appearance do not make good market turkeys. There fore, good judgment should be used in breeding, the object being to breed birds as large as possible and at the same time avoid breeding overgrown, gangling birds. Inbreeding seems to ruin the vitality of turkeys quicker than any of our domestic fowls, and this should be guarded against. The birds need good, strong blood behind them to carry them through. None should be marketed but well fattened turkeys. The demand is for plump, well fattened birds, and the ex¬ tra effort required to produce this kind will be well repaid. It costs no more to make a pound of turkey meat than a pound of pork, and the former commands a price greatly in excess of that of the latter. Turkeys that are not large enough to go on the market for the Thanksgiving trade should be kept over for Christmas when the late and small birds ought to be in prime condition. The Christ¬ mas market generally caters more any¬ way to smaller turkeys, yet plump and well fattened, while the Thanksgiving market demands the largest and best turkeys produced. Turkeys intended for the market should be allowed a limited grain ra¬ tion for the first ten days, gradually increasing the food until they are com¬ fortably on a full grain ration. If the flock contains many late fowls, which should first gain in size and frame, sometimes before the actual fattening process begins they should be fed such food as will develop bone and muscle. Corn, oats and wheat in equal quantities supplemented by some kind of animal food, if insects are scarce, such as beef scraps or even sweet skimmilk, is a good ration for this purpose. This will produce bone and flesh, aiding nature to develop them into properly filled out birds. They should not be overfed at this period, only giving them enough feed to keep them ln a growing, thrifty condition. If this is followed with the small birds, or even with the whole flock so long as the feeding is not overdone, they can gradually be brought up to a full grain ration with¬ out danger of any serious results fol¬ lowing. It frequently happens that feeding turkeys a full grain ration at first results in crop bound or indiges¬ tion, which brings about serious trouble and very often a loss of some of them. TIME TO HARVEST C0WPEAS When Sown Alone for Ensilage Crop Should Be Cut at About Same Maturity as for Hay. When sown alone cow r -peas should be harvested for ensilage at about the same maturity as for hay. They should he cut only a short time before going Into the silo, raked green, plac¬ ed In small bunches, or, better still, loaded on the wagon directly from the windrow. When planted with corn the combined crop may be har¬ vested with the corn-binder and han¬ dled in the same manner and as eas¬ ily as corn planted alone for ensilage. ill! All - Cow-Pea Harvester. For hay, cow-peas should be cut when the first pods and some leaves begin to turn yellow. Cow-pea hay cures more slowly than alfalfa but It should be handled in cur¬ ing in about the same manner. Cut¬ ting should not begin in the morning until the dew is off and the hay should be raked and allowed to cure in the windrow a short time. The picture shows a cow-pea har¬ vester attachment for the mowing ma¬ chine, showing the vine-lifters on guards and a windrowing attachment. These machines are almost indispens¬ able where large crops are to be har¬ vested. Spring Lambs.

JJ$[: COTTON-SEED PRODUCTS Oklahoma Crushers Start Campaign of Education Among Farmers, Advising Use of Meal. A campaign of education has been started by cotton-seed crushers of Oklahoma among the farmers of the state to use meal and other products of cotton seed instead of raw seed, as many dQ at present M a meetlng held ln Oklahoma city u wag decidsd to agR Pre8ldent Con . nors of the State Board of Agricul¬ ture to make an address to farmers on cotton-seed products as stock , food. \ “There is as much nourishment In cotton-seed meal as in raw cotton¬ seed,” said Sidney Roberts, Wynne wood cotton man, “and so farmers can make money by bringing us their seed. The mills will give 3,500 pounds of meal for 2,000 pounds of seed, and it will go just as far. Down in Texas the farmers appreciate the value of cotton-seed meal as a stock food, be¬ cause it goes so far. There the oil mills sell at home all the meal they make. In Wynnewood we dispose of only one-half of 1 per cent, at home.’’ Well Preserved Butter. Thirteen years ago a Delaware lowered ‘wo pounds of butter In covered bucket in a well to off. The string broke and the went to the bottom. A few ago the farmer was clearing out well and found the bucket of but sound and sweet as a nut. ^General Notes m Farm Rye is coming in favor this fall. Level cultivation saves moisture. Water is of inestimable value in the garden. Disposition has an influence on the value of a horse of any type. Are you sure of every cow’s yearly output of butter-fat and milk? Calves should be well bedded so that they will be dry and warm. Be ever watchful for the appear¬ ance, in your hives, of foul brood. Every ewe in the flock should do her separate part and perform her work well. Ewes that possess strong tions should be selected for breeding Quality, while not easy to define, is one of the most essential points horse flesh. Early varieties of apples and pears should be picked before they have become soft. Leaving grain in shock for from four to six weeks Is attended with a great deal of risk. There is nothing gained in keeping animals in the flock simply they once were good breeders. A good ditch should be dug the poultry yards to prevent water getting in and to keep them dry. If the heavy mares do not produce good foals by a certain mating then try another stallion of the same class, Very young calves sometimes have a form of scours that is due to a de feet in the constitution or to prenatal conditions. ....

In there are over 40,000 deaths from every year, and the death from this disease is nearly three as high in the United States. Porto Rico there are over 6,000 every year out of 1,000,000 in¬ In Trinidad, the death rate tuberculosis in Port-au-Spain, the place where figures are available, 4.75 in 1909. nearly three times rate in New York city.

The chief rea¬ for this high mortality is found the unsanitary, dark, and poorhl houses of the natives of tfl i Not on Your Life. An Irishman obtained a position in skyscraper that was being built. He had to carry mortar up to the top One day he went up and find his way down. The boss missed him and called up to hjm: "Pat,’’ said the boss, "why don’t you down?” “I don’t know the way,” said Pat. “Well, come down the way you went up.” “Faith, and I won’t,” said Pat, “for came up head first.” Even the Children. Ex-Governor Pennypacker, con demning in his witty way the Ameri¬ can divorce evil, toll? at a Philadelphia luncheon an appropriate story. “Even our children," he said, “are infected. A Kensington schoolteacher, examining a little girl in grammar, said: " ’What is the future of love?’ “ ‘A divorce,’ the child answered promptly.” Man’s Many Attributes. What a chimera, then, is man!
