meets" Clarence earns his winters
keep and little more No, we don't
blame you. Very few do know what
they are. They were first heard OF in
the time Of Arrian, whoever, he was,
Ia the year A. ID. t56.
Mitch" explains them as follows
Out in Nebraska, where he came
from, there are jack-rabbits a-plenty.
Those lightning-fast fellows, with the
long, donkey-like hearing apparatus,
throng the plains.
Now, grey-hounds are as fast and
graceful animals as there are when
IL comes to the chase.
So out on the plains hundreds of
jackrabbits are caught alive and train
ed to furnish sport for the dogs. They
are placed in pearshaped patch OF
ground completely fenced in. with
numerous holes at the larger end OF
the pear. The rabbits are taught to
scamper from the small end to these
holes and escape into little pens where
food awaits them.
When they have become thoroughly
familiar with the way to get out OF the
inclosure. greyhounds are brought
upon the scene, and everything Is
ready for the "coursing meet"
AS many as 100 dogs, all or fancy
redigreed stock, are entered in this
peculiar tournament. BY pairs they
are released from slips" and each
couple chases a wary rabbit down the
field Long-ears tries to make his es-
cape through one of the holes before
either one OF the dogs get him.
The winner OF the pair Is determin-
e.. by points. Speed counts one, two
or three. "go-hy," or passing rival
dog counts two, TO turn the rabbit,
one. and so on, losing dog is eliminat-
ed from the tournament and the win
ner must meet other hogs until the
finals are reached. The meets some
times last for several days.
Substantial money prizes are given
to the winning dogs. Like horse races.
the entries are divided into different
classes. There Is the futurity class
for the pups. for instance.
Big grand stands are built to accom-
odate the crowds who attend these
meets and fancy prices are paid for
admission.
Its got horse racing beat to fraz-
zle," says Mitch" IT'S a great deal
faster. because the rabbits and grey
hounds both have lightning speed.
II have eleven dogs that I'm going
to enter In the meets this winter and
I expect that they'll make good. After
the coursing season is over I'll prob
ably go hunting"
There's good fortune in your strange
vacation, Mitch"

.PATTISON Gets
BAD SETBACK

EAST LANSING. Mich, Sept 20
A surprise was sprung here yester-
day when big Pattison of last years
eleven, was denied football suit by
Coach Jacklin upon his return.
Il will not stand for a ringer" on
any team coach" said Macklin. Pat.
tison has been playing professional!
baseball all summer with Terre
Haute.
The loss OF Pattison will be felt, as
"Pat" had a large quantity of beef
which is very much lacking in the
men that are trying to make the
team.
Gorenflo and Davis. of Detroit. are
almost sure of making the varsity
team this year, but Beebe and Drew,
also OF Detroit, are giving them a
hard run for the place.
When the whistle blows for the
Michigan-M. A. c. game, there VIII
probably be five Detroit boys on each
team.

Div oRANTLANp RICE.

Devore, Snodgrass, Murray and
Becker against Oldring. Lord, Muir
ply and Strunk bring on another SUI
perheated argument between the fans
of the New York Giants and those OF
the Philadelphia Athletics.
Josh Devore of the Giants is faster
than any member OF either outheld
squad. Snodgrass and Murray are
only a shade behind the Giant grey
hound in speed. McGraw's trio I'M
doubtedly has the call in speed, as all
three are like white streaks upon the
bases and cover world OF ground.
In the line of outfield play there is
little choice One set covers about as
much ground as the other and throws
about as well. Oldring and Snodgrass
both rank we'll in center. Both are
fast, both can hit and throw. Oldring
has the edge in experience-especial-
ly worlds series experience-and on
this account may be given the shade.
The Detroit times., 1911-09-29

Insofar as outfeld hitting Is con-
cerned there Is no difference worth
noting. Mack's outlying picket squad
probably has the call in batting, put
this edge should be offset by Giant
speed where McGraw's clan has some
thing to give away.
Murphy of the Athletics and Muir
raw of the Giants are OF widely diner
ent types. Murphy is the more dead
ly at bat but Murray has the speed
and the better arm.
The Detroit times., 1911-09-29
oUTF1EIDERs' BATTING AVERAGES.

With all points considered these
two rival outfelds are too close to-
gether 10 have the verdict go either
way. But while both outfeld talent
and infield strength are more or less
vital factors, neither department in
my opinion will be the central point
nor the important section around
which victory or defeat may curl.
Speed and pitching will tell so per
cent of the story as the next round
up OF the classic dope will show.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.--Even con-
ceding the Cubs victory in the two
remaining games with the Giants and
the rest OF the games they have. to
play. McGraw's men can win out by
seven victories in their IL games, so
the dopesters have 1t figured out. To
win half OF the games would tie the
two teams In the race. An even
break in the unfinished Cubs series
and the Giants need but FIVE victories.
Two victories for the Giants and their
path would be easy with three games

Secretary Green of the Iowa Hort

Apples have considerable food

they rank with many of the meats

and the apple IS. Potatoes, it will
be noted, form one of the main reli-
ances of the worker The apple can
not be ignored, either as source of
power or possible cure for the age
old evils of intemperance.
There are enough apples in the
United States to give every man, wo-
man and child in the country a few
dozen apples each every year. The
Ozarks alone produce enough of this
ruddy and luscious fruit to drive the
drink sanitariums out of business for
good if the new cure ever becomes
popular.
Practically every state in the union
counts apples and apple trees among
its assets, and thousands of barrels
OF the best are shipped to foreign
countries every year to satisfy the
palates Of alien apple lovers.
DR.. Bailey, the most recent discov-
erer OF the apple cure for intemper-
ance, points out that this common
fruit seems to possess certain pecul-
iarly blended acids that soothe and
lul the drinker into forgetting the
need of his daily and his hourly nips.
The acids that are present seem to

TO STICK TO GOOD OLD BEEF
st. Louis Cannot Afford to Give Pop
ulace Barbecued Chicken When
the President Comes.

ST. LOUIS.-When President Taft
visits st. Louis this fall he and his
admirers will not dine off drumsticks
and breasts of chicken, but will ap-
pease their appetites with barbecued
beef or plain ordinary beef. This
has not been decreed officially, but
has been given out by the Taft re-
ception committee that the rumor of
chicken barbecue is a snare and a
delusion.
The committee pondered the
chicken proposition long and hard
and the longer they thought about it
the longer, like dollar mark, the
chicken began to look. The commit
tee concluded beef was not so bad
after all"
Why, it would cost us SIS, 900 or
more to feed chickens to the thous-
ands who will attend the presidents
reception" said one member of the
committee.
I'VE have been informed by poul-
try commission men that if we were
going to have a chicken barbecue for
that vast throng we would have to
be giving our orders now so that the
enormous number of fowls might be
put in cold storage as they come
in"

Taft visit st. Louis October 8.

When he begins to make a steady
diet of apples his eyes clear and his
face loses that rudy tinge that
makes of him a marked man. The
more apples he devours the more
permanent the cure is apt to be-
He saturates himself with the acids
and the juices of the orchard fruit
until the tissues rebel at the touch of
anything alcoholic. The craving goes
on so subtly that almost before he
is aware of it the drinker finds him
self going for hours at a time unvex-
ed by the twinges and twitchings that
formerly harassed him.
The report that is to be made by
the experts in the chemistry bureau
of the department of agriculture will
be awaited with interest by friends
of the apple. Just what form the
tests will take has not been announc-
ed. 1t may be that Wiley or some
| other of the heads of the bureau will
form another squad" that will in
time become as famous as the far
famed Poison Squad" of DR.. Wiley
when he was experimenting on the
| deleterious effects of certain adul-
terants in everyday foods.
In the meantime the Iowa Horti-
| cultural Association, having fathered
the movement, will anxiously await
the findings of the departmental ex-
perts. DR.. Bailey is not anxious. He
! asserts that his experiments with the
apple as a furtherer of temperance
covers hundreds of cases and at in
tervals Of many years. He is sure
that his findings will be substanti-
ated by any set of experiments and
tests that may be made. He points
to his case book and it's records as
proof Of his assertions, and is willing
to let the dOubters continue to doubt.
He is country doctor with prac-
tice that covers his home own of
Mount Ayr and extends out into the
country for many miles. He knows
his people and their temperaments
Even in this quiet place he has found
many opportunities to test his very
unique cure. The scientific side of
the experiment appealed to him and
he set about proving the theory as
carefully as any laboratory physi-
clan would have set about hunting
down of some new disease germ.
Feeling sure of his facts he at last
consented to address the Iowa meet
ing of apple growers and there lay
before the world his findings and
opinions.
