MANAGERS HAVE
TROUBLE IN O. &P.
Baseball Affairs Not Running
Smoothly in Some
Camps.

EAST LIVERPOOL. o., July g
Things have not been easy for all the
managers in the o. & P. league, and
the only exception to the rule may
be found in Manager Sam Wright, at
Youngstown, and Manager Bill Phil
lips, in this city. At least four Of
the others have been having a few
stones cast in their paths since the
opening OF the o. & p season, and
the sky above them is not yet all
azure blue.
From the beginning, Crane, of the
Erie team, who was touted by all as
the big gun there, has simmered down
to being the man in charge OF the
team while 1t is on the Reld. Roster
and Baumeister are the real manag-
ers. Then came the story that Wal.
ter East was wanted to take charge,
but he is fighting 1t out at Nashville
for a permanent berth there.
Up Against 1t.
Manager Porter. OF the New Cas-
tie team. was up against It. and at
the start of the season he did not
have winning combination.
Now comes Sharon, where the Of
ficials OF that club, or at least some
of them, have fallen out with Van
Patterson One official tells Van to
skldoo, while another says, Stay on
the job" 1t Is related that PatNer-
son had the team going nicely early
in the season and his own personal
methods on the field are said to be
largely the cause OF his loss of favor
at the hands Of the management and
the bugs.
Now Little Eva" Murphy. of Pitts
burg, the iovial manager Of the Can
ton club, is having his troubles
When Murphy hiked from the Smoky
City to Canton everyone declared he
would have top-notcher in the re-
organized o. & P.
Resented Transfer.
But it appears that the old Contra!
league players who were retained by
the Canton franchise owners resent
ed the transfer of McGraw. the for
mer manager, to Dayton, and the
coming of Murphy. Murphy found
factions on the Canton team. and it
was no easy task to make affairs run
smoothly. When Murphy let out sew
eral of the old stagers and took on
some OF his former Steuhenville and
Washington teammates things went
all right for a spell. But Canton has
not been winning every game played
there and the scribes blame the con-
dition of affairs on Murphy and his
Pittsburg players.

NEBRASKA HAS
BUMPER CORN CROP,
DeCreaSeinAcrGage, Increase
in Yield Of 100000 Bushels.

Lincoln, Nov. 1S.-The corn crop OF
Nebraska just being garnered is val
ued at $S9,299S7 on the basis of sc
cents per bushel This is an increase
over the record breaking crop of 1905
and 1906. These figures are part OF
the crop report just issued by Labor
Commissioner Ryder, and indicate
something of the prosperity OF the
farmers of the state.
Although there was reported de
crease of 247825 in the acreage, as
compared with last year, there Is an
increase in the yield of approximately
100000 bushels. This years tota.
yield is placed at 178,599,798 bushels
against 169,732,SS5 last year. Be
counties, the yield fell off perceptibly
but in other counties the crop was
correspOndingly larger. Custer coun
ty leads in the production, with 3,141.
1927 bushels.
The production of winter wheat was
slightly smaller than last year, al.
though the acreage was larger by g.,
TAI acres. The average yield per acre
this year is 1899 bushels, against
1885 bushels in 1907 The increased
price of wheat, however, brings the
value of this years crop to s34,S51,.
900, or 100000 better than last year
The spring wheat acreage showed a
decline, but the yield was better and
the value slightly tops last years crop
value.
The state raised 100000 bushels
more oats this year than in 1907, while
the value of the alfalfa crop increased
more than $20OOO,O00 The year was
the best for alfalfa in the history of
the state. Barley and rye also show
substantial increases in value.
