National League Games Toe
League Clubs, Standing.

The New Yorks wind up their present Sc
ries with the Nationals this afternoon, and
on account OF playing in Boston tomorrow
the locals were compelled TO order the game
started at 2:45 SO as to catch the o'clock
train for the city of culture.
First Bsseman Hal Chase reported to
Manager Griffith yesterday and he will be
In the battle this afternoon and will I'M
doubtedy make the Yankees stronger as he
Is In fine condition. Manager Griffith will
probably send Keefe to the firing line and
Manager Cantillon will use Patten or give
Graham another trial.
Wien the Nationals leave tonight for
Boston they will have eleven games to play
before returning from the trip, three In
Boston and four each in New York and
Philadelphia, and by the time the boys get
home something like a true line can be had
on the aggregation.
In the two games played. Ganley and
Schlafiy about the only ones upon
whom adverse criticism can be aimed. and
their bad start can be placed solely to
poor luck. Ganley had been playing sem
sational ball all through the practice trip
hitting and fielding like a house afre, and
his accurate throwing was feature of his
game. Then he butts into the first game
with bad throw to Schlafy and comes
right back with two more to the home
plate in Saturdays tie-up

whatever ii was he can rest assured that
Manager Cantillon still thinks he is the

Utility Men Handy.
Capt. Schlafly has not allowed his official
position on the field to worry him. as his
fielding has been up to his usual high grade
but with the bat he has failed to do thing
and unfortunately he had many chances to
drive I'm runs with a timely bingle. "Schlaf"
is a big favorite with the crowd in the
bleachers-the bunch that hands out the
hot critcisms-and he win also be given
plenty of time to demonstrate that he can
hit we'll as field. Fortunately for Man
ager Cantillon and the Washington club
there are two first-class utility men in
Jones and Mil waiting at the bench and
should either Ganley or Schlafiy fail TO keep
pace with the others they jump into the
fray until the regulars can strike their true
stride
The main improvement in the team COM
pared with last seasons aggregation, is in
aegressiveuess. and the never say die spirit
that Manager Cantion has already instilled
into the boys is really wonderful. In both
Thursdays and Saturdays game the Ma
tiorsis hung tenaciously that when

Hands Were Tied.

The instructions were binding and the
committees hands were tied. although 1t
is Improbable that any Of it's members
wanted a shorter schedule. Thus when the
joint rules committees met all the argu-
offer would have been wasted, for the Ma
tional Leaguers could point to their in
structions In such case there was moth
ing for the American to do but to go along
with the older body ana try to avoid as
many conflicting dates as possible.
The foolishness of the early opening was
certainly demonstrated last week. Out Of
twenty-four games scheduled for last
Thursday, Friday and Saturday only eleven
were played. which makes more than one
days which will have to be reserved for
double headers later In the season.
One bad effect of this Is the fact that the
teams. after spending several weeks in the
south getting into condition. have been
compelled to lay of for day after day and
thus the good effects of their southern
trips have been neutraliZed. Were the
championship season to start week or so
later than this year the teams could remain
longer in the south. they would run less
chance of a setback owing to cold and
stormy weather upon their return to the
north and the brilllance of the opening &C.
casions would not be dimmed. In addition,
a shorter schedule would give a few more
open dates during the season when post
poned games could be played of.
AS it is now, double headers for the fu-
ture have begun to pile up at an enormous
rate which means that the wise manager
will keep a good supply of pitchers in re-
serve for the grueling during the hot
weather.

Start Too EARLY.

The opening of the base ball champion
ship season of 1907 in several of the major
league cities was frost. although there Is
no dispute as to the popularity of the game.
OF the eight cities so far scheduled for
championship games New York and Wash
ington alone made a success of the opening
day affair so far as attendance was con-
cerned.
Those cities which are to have their OPEN
ings this week may be favored with better
atmospheric conditions. but even If they do
it will scarcely offset the argument proven
by last weeks events. that the second week
of April is too early to send the teams OH
for the long struggles for the pennants.
In their greed for gold the National
League club owners have deprived thou
sands upon thousands of the enthusiasts
of seeing what every base ball lover de-
lights in witnessing-the first game OF the
championship season. Perhaps the National
Leaguers will get right on the question
and adopt shorter schedule for next sea-
son. but 1t is doubtful.
The American League Is not to blame.
The members of Ban Johnsons organtza-
ton last winter. as usual, talked for a
schedule of 40 championship games Tor
each club and appointed a schedule COM
mittee to confer with a similar committee
of the National League. The latter organ
izatlon as 1t had done before, appointed a
schedule committee at Its December meet
ing with instructions to adopt schedule OF
154 championship games for each team

PRICES OF COWS.
Strange Values Which Farmers Put q
the Poor and the Good Ones.

While on a visit 20 the universiS,
u Illinois, representative OF the
Farmers Review had his attention
called to the difference 10 prices of
good and poor cows. An illustration
was at hand In the prices paid for "a
number OF different cows recently So.
cured from the Elgin district Of mi.
nois, In which good COW Il sup.
posed TO be appreciated and o poor
COW recognized as such. The uni.
versity had occasion To secure Ger.
tain number OF very good COWS and a
Ike number Of very poor COWS. and
Professor Fraser went out aud hunted
them up. In one herd he found a poor
COW which he secured for $40. and a
very good COW which he secured for
sos. Another poor COW was offered
him, the owner asking sos for her. but
this animal was not taken. as the
price was too high. The remarkable
thing about the transaction was that
the owner wanted only 81 more for
the good COW than for the poor one.
while she was In reality worth three
times the value OF the poor COW.
One Of the most remarkable things
about COW prices In the country Is
that the farmers do not properly ap.
preciate the difference between COW
that pays a big profit and a COW that
pays no profit. They place the pnce
near together. on the general propo.
sltion that "a COW Is COW" This
sort Of theory is costing the farmers
great revenues every year. AZ least
100000 cows In the state OF Illinois
do not pay a cent pront Their owners
care for them and milk them with alb.
solutely no pay for their labor and
care. when they offer these poor
COWS for sale they want as much for
them as they would want for good
cows. These poor cows are making
their owners poor also. The first In
dication Of waking mp to the true SIT
uation ON any farm Is when the farm
or begins to make a wide difference
between the prices he will take for his
good and his poor COWS

Many Ways In Which a Better Quality

by which the injury often results:

By failure TO properly wash and

In contact with milk
by giving the cows bad water
and having a disagreeable odor or an
unhealthy quality.
by allowing the COWS TO wallow in
