NORTHAMPTON DROPS IT.

Northampton. July 29-Ihe ar- nouncement was authoritatively made yesterday that there would he no Con necticut league team in Northampton during the present season. Whether or not the Meadow City will be reprr- sented in league circles next season. is another question. The present season is % far advanced and the conditions and strings attached to the franchises offered were so numerous that 1t was believed the wisest course by the pre- moters of the scheme to drop out of the running for the present.
 The nearest the packers of the scheme came to securing vested owner ship in the more or less coveted finn chise was in the option asked from Meriden. At one point in the negotia- tions ii looked as if the two sides might be brought together. for there was not a large difference between them. but that little has turned out to mean everything. Norfhampfon's promoters were willing 10 pay s1.500 for the Meri den team and franchise. but the Meri- den owners wanted to hang on to half the reserve money Meriden has also been paying about s1.so per month and the hashaIl fans interested in the deal from this end thought that amount very much in excess of what the team was worth in salary

CORnAN AND BULkELEY
To Decide the Origin of the National
 Game.

Senator Arthur Pue German of Maryland. busy man that he is. has undertaken, in connection with sev- eral other distinguished gentlemen, to decide the mooted question of the origin of base ball. Not only is the democratic leader base ball fan, but he was at one time ball player and very good one at that. It has not been so very long ago that the senator used to get out in his backyard in the early hours of the morning or late in the afternoon and take his exercise by throwing hot ones" at his son, who is now a member of the Maryland sen ate. Senator German secomes a mem Der of base ball commission at the request of Al G. Spalding of New York, to determine the origin of the national game if that be possible. Among the other members of the com. mission is Senator Morgan c. Bulke- ley of Connecticut. who was the first president of the National league. Sen ator German was in his younger days president of the famous old National base ball club of Washington. As you can readily understand writes the senator to MT Spalding, T have very little time to devote to matters other than those which claim my at tention here. I shall be glad, however, to accommodate you in this connection and will go very carefully over all the data which may be furnished and make such suggestions as occur to me"

GOLF IN sPHINx's SHADOW
Clubs in the Land of the Pharaohs Have Many Difficulties to
 Contend With.

Not only in Egypt. but all over the old world, the English are always the leaders in sports" writes an Egyptian traveller. Tt is so afloat and ashore. In Egypt the English visitors get up polo matches, tennis, croquet, golf and bridge tournaments, fancy dress balls, smok- ing concerts and organize gymkhanas. Those who know the difficulties of keep ing up golf club in a green and well- watered country. where there are per- manent residents to pay the dues. can readily conjecture what must must be the difficulties. in dry and desert country, where the only permanent residents are Arabs and donkeys and where the golf play CTS come only three months in year. Yet there are not few golf clubs in the land of the Pharaohs.
 There are many humorous things connected with golf in Egypt. There are what might be called extra-hazard- ,us hazards; for example. at one links, In Upper Egypt, the golf course wound it's desert way past an oasis on which was a luxuriant field of clover. A shied ball was extremely apt to hide itself in this clover The following new rule was made by the Arabs: Nobody in boots or shoes could enter the oasis limits to search for balls; only barefooted peo- pie (otherwise Arabs)' were allowed to enter. Every day we found a large pop ulation of Arabs around the oasis wait ing for golf balls to go to grass. Some times, I, fear, they were assisted there. It required much backsheesh to get them out.
 At last there were so many lost balls that an investigation was made by the greens committee. An old woman was discovered hiding near the clover haz- ard When you made a fine long ap- proach the old lady grabbed the golf ball and took to her heels. She regard d the balls as her legitimate spoil and offered them freely for sale to tho original owners at cut prices. It took an enormous amount of time and labor to convince her that she must give up her practice"

GROWING ONES OWN COWS
Develop the Young Animals Into Strong, Healthy Individuals
 by Careful Feeding.

Every dairyman must aim to grow young animals into strong, healthy in. dividuals, which will improve his herd, says George c. Humphrey, of the University of Wisconsin He must feed enough of the right kind of feed to stimulate and encourage every ani. nal in his herd to do her best. When her capacity has been thoroughly tested and she fails, she must be dis carded and replaced by one more promising. In the third place, the dairyman must avoid feeding beyond the limit of the cows capacity for converting feed into milk We often find COWS consuming much more than they are paying for at the pail, and the men who are not watching this closely are not working toward in. provement in their feeding operations.
 It will pay every good dairyman to raise the heifer calves from the best dairy COWS of his herd. and by so doing his chances are much better for i'm proving his herd than they are where be depends upon buying new COWS to replace his old ones. It is almost i'm. possible to go out and buy the best cows. Men will sell you the poorest and reserve the best, as general rule. This rule has few exceptions. especi. ally where the practical dairyman is doing business and paying from $40 to s60 per head for his COWS. Few dairymen can afford to go out and buy cows to replace old ones in the herd when they have any chance whatever 10 save and raise the calves from their best COWS, and by good bulls which should be used in every instance. It will pay the dairy. man to grow his COWS, providing they are grown in the right manner.

PITTSBURG MAY LUMP.

Pittsburg. Pa, July 2I.-Unless th1- National league can do a little better for Pittsburg. the team which won three pennants in row and which IS making a hard bid for another one, Barney Dreyfuss. the owner. will ask for move to the American league.
 This is the story published in the Chronicle-Telegraph here last evening.
 The Chronicle Telegraph is supposed 'to be closer to the base ball throne of Pittsburg than any other paper in the country. and has habit of printing the news as found. , .
 For some time it has been suspected that Dreyfuss has been willing to break from the National because Of several bad decisions against him. and the word has come forth now from what seems the throne that unless things are changed. and soon, unless he gets some guarantee that he will not be bluffed and fused with. as he claims he has been in the past; that he will jump the National league, no matter if he is forced to join the inde- pendents. The snubs which Pulliam. former secretary of the Pittsburgs, gave the Pittsburg club in Boston some days ago. have. to all reports, been the last straw.
 It is announced here and openly that Dreyfuss has opened negotiations with the American league for the purpose of taking his team there next season.

A Crop of Nubbius.

Here and there We run across farm CT that reports now and then from a certain field crop of nubbins. If we ask him about the field on which such . crop was produced. we are certain of receiving the answer that the crop grew on a field that had borne noth- ing but corn for many years in success sion. The more worn out the soil. the more is the crop of corn likely to be . crop of nubbins. Ten years ago. says the Farmers Review. even some of our scientists were saying that corn could follow corn for long series of years. but they have changed their minds about that. .s.-..

 Jeffries is to be the boxing instruc- tor of the club, and in fact to have en- tire charge of the affair, running it as he thinks best. He will also be en- powered to arrange and bring off such fights as he thinks would be money makers
 The big fellow is greatly taken with the idea. and has practically consent ed to Morleys' proposition. They are now on the lookout for a suitable loca- ton, and when this is found work will be commenced on the buildings at once. It is hoped that the club will be in full running order by next fall.

 We had the game by right and there was chance to play the fifth in- ming had Holyoke so desired. As 10 Umpire Horne. he is not. in my mind qualified for the position and the sooner the change is made the better"
