Now and then a pig will get thin
and stay in poor condition simply be-
cause of poor teeth. We have seen
hogs of this type being fed on ear corn
that picked up right away when the
same amount of corn or less was fed
in the shape of meal.

made some time ago by President Ban

tionals would open the season at Phila-
dephia this spring, officials of the loca
club are of the opinion that the season
will he opened here and that either Bos-
ton or New York will be the visiting club.
1t will be rather plea sing to the patrons
of the game here who are anxious II
see the team improve its position IL II
is decided to have it open its season at
home There is no doubt that this would
he an advantage over starting against
the Athletics in Philadelphia, and good
start is sure TO mean much for the locals
this year.
The season is to open April l.. and
as this falls on Wednesday, it is safe to
predict that the team opening here will
play a four-came series.
Last season the Athletics opened here
and Walter johnson beat the champions
:, To q. allowing them but a single hit
This year the Athletics will most likely
open the season at home.

Poggenburg was the quicker TO settle
down to his stroke. with a run of a. in

nursing game when he gathered ~ in the

BALL PLAYERS CLAIM DENIED
Herzog, Suspended for 1nsubordina-
ton. Cannot Collect Salary.

CINCINNATI. February &C. l.. Her
zog's claim of s36666 against the Boston
National League club for salary during
his suspension from July to August l.
inclusive, was disallowed by the national
base ball commission in decision pro-
mulgated yesterday.
The commission found that 1.-THE Boston
club was justified in suspending the
player for his arbitrary disregard of dis
cipline."
THE players defense to the charge of
rebellious conduct" says the finding, lis
that when accused by his manager of try
ing to supplant him in the presence o.
President Dewey he entered denial, and
when Manager Lake added that he lHer-
zogp had stated he was through with the
Boston club he replied:
You can get another third baseman.
Before I will play under man like you
/ will quit the business.
The finding states that HerZog's con-
tract for 1909 with New York called for a
salary of $500. that his 1910 agreement
with Boston was for $1,000 and that he
also collected 5000 bonus in midseason on
condition that he take part in all cham
pionship games.

TWO STAR ATHLETES
J0|N LOCAL FORCES
"Pete" Herring and John Bolac
to Represent Washington
Athletic Clubs.

Washington's chances for establishing
supremacy on the athletic field over cities
of the south were materially boosted yes
terday when two star athletes announced
their intentions of representing local
clubs in active competition.
Pete Herring. known by all wearers
of the spiked shoe, as we'll as followers
Of the cinder path game, as one of the
fastest middie-distance and dash runners
ever developed in the south, has recon-
sidered his decision which threatene} to
carry him into permanent retirement, and
will spend at least one more year in add
ing to his already brilliant record in the
sport. Next Saturday evening he will
make his appearance in the joint games
Of the 9Th Regiment Athletic Association
and Johns Hopkins University, and from
this time on will continue in active train
ing. flying the colors Of the Washington
Grove Athletic Association. Herring, to-
gether with Young, Hildebrand. Stecker
and King, will represent the Groyites In
the big athletic event in the Oriole city
next Saturday evening. He will enter
the 22O and 40 yard races. and is expect
ed to show in one or the other.
The other acquisition referred to is none
other than John Bolac. who for the past
two seasons has been representing the
Baltimore Cross Country Club. In each
one OF the cross-country runs in which
he has participated Bolac has finished
well up among the leaders, and his work
has helped materially in defeating the
teams from his home town. The spirit
of local patriotism has finally gotten the
better of him. and last Saturday evening
at the indoor games held under the
auspices of George Washington Eniver-
sity he applied to Manager Elphinstone
of the Baltimore team for his release.
Although the Baltimore manager was
not. empowered to release him outright,
he gave him practical assurance that he
would be favored at the earliest oppOr-
tunity. Chances are that the cross-coun-
try championships booked to be run over
the old Brightwood course the afternoon
OF February % will find Bolac repre-
sentative of the lately organized Wash
inston Cross Country Club. This organi-
its strength most conclusively in the ten
mile run under the auspices of the Bal
timore Cross Country Club last month
by carrying off two team prizes.
Sargent Robbins we'll known in anna
teur base ball circles of the District, has
taken charge of the organization, and
hereafter win serve as it's manager. The
club will hold it's first invitation event
early in April. when all of the leading
clubs of. the south will be brought here
for a ten-mile race to decide supremacy
at this distance.
Capt. Holland of the Cross Country
team, who was directly responsible for
the acquisition OF Bolac. has lines out
for several strong local men. and is hope
full of landing them in time for the race
lntercity race last spring. is one of the
many that the Washington Cross coun-
try Club is hopeful of landing i'm the near
future.

Before Ad Wolgast entered the ring
with Knockout Brown large ma jority of
the followers of pugifsn were convinced
that as champion the conqueror OF
Battling Nelson did not compare with
any of his recent predecessors. After his
showing against Brown the verdict seems
to be unanimous.
Six-round bouts do not prove much that
is true but under the circumstances it
was to be expected that Wolgast would
have himself fit as fiddle for the bout.
Having been discredted ever since he
beat Nelson and been virtually forced
out Of retirement by his critics, there
was a grand chance for Wolgast to es-
tablish himself firmly as champion by
making a showing such as one would
expect from leader of a class against
a fighter Of Browns caliber. But though
he apparently trained hard for this fight,
Wolgast could not go six rounds at the
pace set and because of this was beaten
He might have won in a finish fight 1t Is
said, but he certainly would have had to
be In better condition than he was last
night.
AS for Brown, he upset all dope by
proving himself weak hitter. landing re-
age. Neither did he prove himself
clever boxer. but because of his peculiar
style. standing just the reverse Of all
other fighters. he baff1ed Wolgast enough
to outpoint him. The one effect that
Wolgasts showing against Brown will
have is that he will either have to per-
manently retire or fight Owen Moran for
the title He can hold off no longer. for
the public will demand that he defend his
title against the man who has a right to
try for it.
In arranging the opening of the season,
it would be we'll for the schedule makers
to bear in nina the fact that the chances
for having suitable weather are much
better in Washington and Philadelphia
than in Boston and New York and it
would seem wise to have the first six or
seven games played in these cities. \
week makes a lot of difference in the
spring of the year. and it should be taken
advantage Of. OF course the fact that
the two major leagues try to have non
conflicting schedules and alternate their
openings in the cities where both have
clubs makes it necessary to disregard
the weather proposition. though it would
probably be better for all concerned re-
CARELESS of conflicts if the southern cities
were given the preference so far as pos
sible for the openings.
