The team has no captain. McAleer
has not appointed one because he had
so many ex-captains and managers
among his men that he thought it might
create hard feeling TO give the cap

fell OF in his playing so much that Re

practically captain, although he did not
bear the title.
When McAleer was suspended for get
ting into a row with an umpire in BOs-
ton on Patriots Day, Schaefer became
acting manager, although he had little
TO do, for McAleer was allowed 10 sit
in a private box alongside the Wash
ington bench and talk 20 his men as
much as he chose
At present Schaefer is a decided bat
ting and fielding slump, and that might
interfere with his prestige among the
men. Kid EIberfeld might make a
snapny and vigorous acting manager,
but the Kid Is out Of the game with
a broken finger. Bob Unglaub was for

Boston Americans, until he got into
the inevitable row with President John

an eN-captain. Milan and Lelyeit are

When he was suspended for the

CAUGHT ON THE FLY
IN WORLD OF BASEBALL

Frank Roth. the little catcher Of the
Cincinnati Reds, is declared the medal
winner in the matter of broken fingers.
Most catcheTs suffer a few breaks, but
each one of ROth's diSits has been
broken at least twice and some Of them
three times. Both thumbs shoot off at
an angle Of forty-five degrees after the
hrst joint is reached, and his fingers are
twisted and knOtted like a grapevine
from the many breaks.
II is quite common to receive inquir-
les asking If a baseball player in the
major leagues is a faster runner than
another, and those who have wagered
on such a proposition grow Indignant
when you tell them that it is simply a
matter Of individual opinion. Who can

ready begun TO decline in numbers.
This, of course. has directly to do
with the rise in the price of beef.
Sheep too, have been declining in
numbers for a long while past, and
hogs are showing the same tendency.
Improving Livestock.
+In order 10 hold their place (the
matter being purely one of economics),
against the competition of plant prod
ucts, our livestock must be improved.
Our COWS must produce more milk,
cheese and butter from an acre of
grass and a ton of meal. The Ameri-
can cow averages 125 pounds of butter
annually. She ought TO produce $50,
or even 500 pounds. If she can do as
well that, she will sustain the COM
petition longer, and may even compete
with oleomargarine. which has serious
ly interfered with the incre sie in the
number Of COWS.
with this idea in view, the federal
and state governments have begun to
cooperate with groups of farmers in
an effort TO create new families of
high-yield cows for breeding purposes.
Thus there is an excellent prospect
that within the next 90 years the out
put of milk and butter will be greatly
augmented, in proportion to the num-
Der of cows kept

agriculture has discovered a serum
which renders hogs immune to the

less result in the eradication of the dis
ease, which, inasmuch as it will save
the farmers $4,000, 900 per annum,
ought TO make pork cheaper. The
American pig is really a very we'll
bred animal (not referring. of course,
10 its manners), especially in relation
to requirements for the great corn
raising states. What is most needed is
a breed of hogs suited 10 the new
agricultural conditions arising in the
south, where green crops and peanuts
furnish a large part of the available
food.
Chicken Breeding.
The trouble with chicken breeding
Is that efforts hitherto have been di-
rected mainly to fancy points. which
have no important relation to economic
production. Now. however. this sort OF
work is beginning TO be conducted
along proper lines, and the scientists
are trying not only to increase the
number Of eggs laid, and the weight OK
the Individual egg, but also the weight
OF the meat on the thighs and breast.
The pullet of the future viii be ex-
pected to have more white meat and
bigger drumsticks than her predecess-
or Of today.
THE Importance OF this matter is
easily seen when il is considered that
the American hen annually produces
500, 00O, 900 worth of meat and eggs.
Her output is exceeded in value only
by the corn crop. But I think there is
TO reason to doubt that within the
next half century the annual value of
our chicken and egg production viii

DIR. WILLET NJ HAYS TELLS HOW THE TIKI
MAY BE DONE.
How Acre of Land Will Be Made to Yield Twice as
Much Corn or Wheat-To Double the Cows Yield
of Milk and Butter-What Scientific Breeding
Is Doing for Farm Animals

Washington. D. G., June 4--The
scientific breeding Of plants is destined
in the not distant future to go a long
way toward keeping down food prices
in this country" said DR.. Willet NJ.
Hays, assistant secretary of agricul-
ture, yesterday. Were ii not for this
prospect. we should, with an expecta-
tion Of 200, 100000 population so years
from now, have reason to fear a con-
dition OF affairs wherein good things to
eat would be beyond the reach of most
folks.
Take the case Of corn for example.
IT is our greatest cereal-the Ameri-
can grain crop par excellence At the
present time it yields little over %
bushels to the acre. With improved
methods, we shall be able. by planting
better varieties. to make the output so
bushels.
Experimental Work
During the past decade the plant
breeders have taken up the problem,
and already large areas are devoted to
experimental work in this line by the
federal government, by the states, and
even by many counties. One agricuI-
tural experiment station, in Illinois,
has produced a corn with nearly
double the ordinary percentage of oil
and -protein'-the latter being the
substance that goes to make muscle
and blood. Meanwhile the Minnesota
station has originated a variety known
