Farm Claims
Ball Players
Big League Stars Represent All Pro.
LESSONS, but Most Are
Farmers.

One Of the most interesting things con-
nected with base bail is the players life
after he has practically passed into OBJ
livion, for a time at least, after the close
of each season. There was a time when
professional base ball did not enjoy the
elevated plane as a profession that II does
now, when the majority of the players did
little but loaf during the off season.
That period has passed and such players
are decidedly in the minority today. The
great majority OF them have some pro-
fession other than chasing the horsehide,
which claims their attention when the bat,
ball and glove have been relegated 70 the
shelf.
These professions are many and varied.
Practically every walk OF business life Is
represented In the national pastime. Some
are lawyers and not a few doctors OF
medicine, dentistry and surgery. Others
are established IN businesses Of their own.
And there are some who are political lead
ers, but there Is no calling which claims
more followers than farming.
II - surprising 70 ascertain how many
OF the big league ball players have pur-
chased farms, ranging from small ones Of
few acres TO vast stretches OF land
where It is necessary for them 10 employ
several farm hands. And another and
deeper dip into their private lives reveals
that a good many OF them were born and
reared amid burrows. blowing machines
and general wholesOmeness.
The natural thing to do Is to wonder
why such should be the case, and the only
logical answer that can be forwarded Is
the fact that the farmer boy has consider
ably more room 20 practice base ball than
the eity-bred chap. 1t is true that the
farmer does not have great deal OF time,
but II Is light until late IN the evening
during the summer, and after he has fin
ished his work there is nothing to prevent
him from playing base ball,
And. strange to say. the majority OF
these farmer players are among the best
bali tossers Ia the business. Larry Laioio
has a farm just outside Cleveland. Tyrus
Cobb has a farm IN Georgia. Russell Ford
has a big wheat farm in Manitoba and
| Mig Clarke, the Cleveland catcher, Is a
/ farmer during the off season.
Billy Sullivan and Fielder Jones, both
former managers OF the Chicago White
sox. have an apple orchard together IN
| Oregon. Walter johnson has $ fertile
stretch in Idaho. Street Is an Alabama
exponent OF the hoe.
/ Manager Frank Chance OF the Cubs car
4 practically be called a farmer He has Z
big orange grove in California. 50 has
Orvtl Overall the Cub pitcher. Clark,
Griffith has a ranch IN Montana. Tommy
Leach OF the Pirates Is a chicken farmer
Lou Crger and Frank LAporte have farms
4 in Ohio.
George r, stalllngs former manager Of
the Yankees. has a stock farm ana cotton
/ plantation in Haddocks. Ca Fred Clarke
MANAGER OF Pittsburg. has a grain farm
la Kansas.
These are Just a few OF the more promi
nent players who are engaged IN farming

ment, since Y. v. Thatcher and T. +.
Rudell Of last years freshman team be-
came ELIGIBLE T.. P. Seymour was lost by
graduation Wheeler Boyd, Reilly and W.
p. Snyder are also valuable men for the
Blue
Princeton should be very strong in the
dashes next spring with r. Cook, r. Black
and r. Jessup still eligible and helped out
BY Pendleton, Hall and Thomas OF last
years freshman team.
G. w. Ryley was the only middle-distance
runner graduated BY Harvard. The Grim
son acquired Warren OF last years fresh
man team Yale lost L. KirEassoff. the
half-miler, but has new blood in the sophie
mores, Reed and Baker. Princeton lost
G. Whitley, who won the mile against Yale

IN the hurdles Long and Lewis remain
eligible at Harvard Gardner's loss will be
felt Yale has O. A. Chisholm, who Won
the intercollegistes; X. Merrill Larkin,
Plat and Howe. L. M. King was lost. but
Yale should be very strong over the tim
bers. Dwight is Princeton's mainstay IN
I the hurdles. The sophomores. Simpson and
Richards, are promising material
Harvard will be strong in the distance
Lawless. Newton, Fernald and wilmington
are also good men. Yale loses Miles in the
$50 yard run and A l.. Haskell, the two
miller.
Yale lost heavily in the field events, los
ing the crack pole vaulter, Captain Wilson
and the weight throwers, Cooney, Andrui
and GoebeL r. A. Gardner can vault agar
for Yale. Harvard has several good mst
developing. Princeton lost Captain Moore
a pole vaulter, but has Bryan, a sophomor,
OF ability.
Harvard has all it's last years high jump

Yale Is in a similar position. Yale retain
Captain Fitzpatrick IN the broad jump
while Harvard has Long. Park and Austii
as possible point winners. Princeton hR

to be awaiting something, nobody
knows what 1t is generally conceded
that September has been oversold, and
that there is considerable short inter-
est in this month. However. this has

hurricane has not affected the market
