with A1uggsy McGraw. The contract is
for $500 and $500 the moment he sign
ed. McGraw gave him the money. He
signed at HAS at night. Jimmy Williams
is a star player. and this is a decided
sensation in baseball. as It has been
thought that Barney Dreyfuss would not
lose a player.
Williams had bad season in 1900, but
is expected to play up to his previous
form this year. He has been taking the
baths here. and is now almost down to
playing weight. Jimmy is not only
great infielder, but one of the best hit
tiers in the profession He will probably
play shortStop at Baltimore while Man
ager AIcGraw will cover his. old position
at third base The signing of Williams
is big victory for the American league.

KafRr Corn Not Good Feed For Dairy
Cows

Lyndon, Kas, March 26.-It has cost
the Overlook creamery Of this place
$500 to learn that the milk from cows
fed on Kaffir corn viii not produce good
butter. For the past three months the
manager of the creamery has been un-
able to make high grade butter and has
lost about $400 on a reduction in the
price. He had experts at work to locate
the trouble, but they failed. Finally one
of the common laborers at the creamery
did some experimenting on his own ac-i
count He kept the milk separate and
churned some of each. He soon found
out that the milk from the cows fed on
Kaffir corn was what brought down the
