LARRY M'LEAN'S CASE
STIRS BASEBALL FANS
CINCINNATI CATCHER RESIGNS
AFTER BEING SUSPENDED, BUT
CAN'T PLAY ELSEWHERE,
SAYS GRIFFITH.

Just what President Hermann and
Manager Griffith are going to do about
the case Of Larry Mclean, the star
catcher Of the Reds. is a question in
which many fans are interested.
An odd situation has arisen over the
Mclean case. Griffith suspended Nc
Lean for infractions OF the club rules
and then big Larry turned around and
resigned. Grifnth accepted the resigna-
ton. This caused a stir in the base
ball world. for no team ever lets
player get away by resigning. Then
Il was explained that the resignation
didn't count; that Mclean still be-
longs TO the Cincinnati team and can't
play any place else even though the
manager did accept his resignation.
Griffith thinks, so IL is reported, that
a years lay-off would do Mclean good
He says the big catcher is a disturbing
element; that he has another catcher
who is equally as good anyway and

RIGHT SIRE FOR DAIRY HERD
Many Difficulties Encountered in Sc
lecting One That viii Transmit
Good Qualities.

r. rs
One OF the chief difficulties Is that
practically nothing can be predicted
from the looks OF an animal. n he has
the inherent characteristics OF trans
hitting good dairy qualities or not.
Who will undertake 20 Judge by the
appearance Of bull II he is one that
viii transmit fine dairy qualities or
whether he is worthless?
The man who will discover some
means OF so Judging viii confer a
benefit on breeders that can scarcely
be estimated.
There are two principles that are
especially concerned with breeding
and should be kept in mind. The first
is that like produces like" and the
second is the law OF natural varia-
TONS
The dairy COW OF today is largely
an artificial product, OF perhaps IL
would be better to say that she is an
abnormslity since her mammary
glands have been abnormaIly devel-
oped by taking advantage OF the law
OF natural variations.
The rule OF like produces like" Is
only true TO a limited extent and the
farther we get away from the original
type in breeding the smaller the pro-
portion OF cases where Il holds good.
This accounts for the fact often OBJ
served that the offspring OF a phe-
nomenal COW are often disappointing
However. Il will be found that on
the average there will be more good
animals among the offspring OF such
q COW than among those from a cow
OF moderate or low dairy capacity.
We must always expect to find In
ferior animals appearing frequently
In all herds. No breeder can prevent
Il, but no good breeder fails to reject
the inferior ones promptly when dis
covered. The higher developed we
set our cows the more difficulty We
must expect in keeping them all up
TO tbs standard
