BASEBALL STARS
WHO ARE Shining
(By Dudley Porter)


Elmer Flick, a Cleveland outiield'
er for years, has been sold TO tho
Kansas City American association
club. Flick has been practically use
less TO the Cleveland club for two
seasons, largely through illness. This
season he batted $50 in the games
ia which be played, but his fielding
was poor compared with other years,
his arm was too, feeble for an out
fielder, and his failure to grasp sig
nails resulted In considerable trouble.
Flick always was weak on signals.
Bill Armour complained OF him, so
did Lajoio, and so has Mcclure. How
ever. be was retained on the team
for his hitting powers and individual
ability in other departments. He
went to Cleveland from the Philadel-
phia Nationals In 1902, preceding La
Joie and Bernard, and Immediately
began TO pound the ball.
But Flick was retrograded, No
more Is he able 10 hit with his old
feToclty and accuracy That ho Is not
the same man is evidenced by the
club owners action in allowing him
10 leave the league Comiskey,
O'Connor, and McAleer are not over
looking chances to strengthen their
teams, but they passed up Flick.
Among the baseball STARS that. ap-
peared after the start of the season
of 1910 none is now re-shining more
splendidly than young Russell Ford,
the New York Americans recruit
pitcher. A year ago Henry Krause
Of 81 % At,1ati..e L. a.. ,,ItchIno do
partment. and Eddie Collins OF the
same team In the fielding and hitting
department, were the stellar new
comers. Ford gave promise of fine
future during the spring training
trip Today he leads the American
league in percentage of victories
Often the percentage OF victories does
not reveal the real merit Of a pitch
er. Frequently man profits vast
ly by the support accorded him, or
the fact that the opposition Is in a
nut, or his own team Is setting ter
rible pace
The latter holds true to the New
York Americans. nevertheless, the
number Of hits allowed by Ford show
that he deserves all possible credit
that goes with such a record In six
full games and three parts OF games
Ford allowed only thirty-nlne hits,
an average of about six game.
In three OF his string OF victories
the opposition failed to score. Yet
there Is no fluke about his. record.
He has delivered a really high class
article Bender and Plank. of the
Athletics. George Mullin of Detroit,

the rear with rapldity.

the election will be free of bribery

In the matter of clean candidates
and winning personalities, Smyrna
is passing through one of the most
pleasant campaigns in the history of
local politics. There has been an unus-
ual scarcity of meetings. The quiet,
''still hunt" is being used with the
result there has been little of the
appeal to prejudice apparent and
with out the abuse and back-biting
which is so frequently evidenced in
the heat of campaigns.

IMPORTANCE OF
SEED BREEDING
Wonderf full Little Storehouses OF
Energy, Beauty and Utility
Bred to Produce Better
Quality Of Grain.

One of the most important things
which the division Of agriculture Of
the Minnesota experiment station has
done for the benefit Of the farmers IL
the breeding Of pedigreed seeds.
1t has been known for a long time
that animals could be bred for Ell
cheney along certain desired lines, but
the knowledge Is of comparatively re-
cent date that seeds-those wonder
ful storehouses Of energy, beauty and
utility-could be similarly bred, and
thus induced to produce a greater
amount or a better quality or both Of
grain. That this Is pre-eminently
true, however. has been ably demon.
strated by the agricultural division,
which has produced several varieties
OF improved grains, including corn,
barley. oats. fax and wheat, which are
much more prolific than the grains
commonly grown and which have, in
their increased yield, netted the
farmers of the state many thousands
of dollars. These seeds may be OBJ.
tanned from the station or from CO.
operating seed growers, at reasonable
prices and with each purchase a GER.
tificate of pedigree and purity of seed
is issued to the purchaser.
Prof. Andrew Boss. chief of this
division. states that something over
$4,000 bushels of pesigreed seeds
have been distributed at first hand to
3,248 cooperating seed growers and
that these men have in turn supplied
so many farmers that 1t Is estimated
that from one-fourth to one-third Of
the grain growing area Of Minnesota
is now seeded annually to improved
seeds developed at the experiment
station.
