The 1911 tobacco crop of the United
States. while large as compared with
the average crops of former years,
will be nearly 20 per cent short of the
crop of 1910, and both the acreage and
the yield will be considerably less than
was predicted early in the season.
The figures are from the carefully
prepared reports of The Enquirer cor
respondents in the various counties OF
Kentucky. Ohio and Indiana and all
the important producing centers.
These reports indicate total harvest
ed area of tobacco in the United States
of ST., 689 acres. AS contrasted with
the large planting of 1910 this is a
decrease of 272. 206 acres or slightly
more than % per cent.
Notwithstanding this large decrease
in the acreage the total apparent yield
in the United States in 1911 approx.
mates 742,060, 500 pounds. fhA 1910
yield is estimated at $50, IT'S, 659 pounds.
and this would make decrease in the
crop of this year am bunting to 188.
718, 1875 pounds, or about 20 per cent.
A conservative estimate of the bur-
ley acreage may now be made as fol-
lows: Kentucky, 142.6 53 acres; Indi.
ana, 9,670 acres; West Virginia anC
scattering sections, 10000 acres; total
1873, 089 acres. The harvested acreage
in 1910 was 284, 900 acres.

big JAM OF BOWLERS
ATTEND HEADPIN OPENING
Arlington Night Brings Out
Crowd, but Furnishes
No Centuries

1t was one big jam that the bowlers
had last night when the STAR head
hin tournament was inaugurated for
the season on the ~Iroquois alleys. The
big event Is now under way for the
fourth successive year.
Ten teams came over. under the di-
rection of Harry Willoughby, from
the Quincy alleys. in Arlington, and
the affair was dubbed arlington
night" With the half-hundred bowlers
came a big crowd of r%ooters, and, after
he competition was over forty sat
down 10 a banquet.
While the performers tried hard
enough last night not one of them was
able to win one of the coveted watch
fobs offered by the STAR. to those who
roll scores of 100 or better. Some came
near the desired mark, but all had at
least n miss. Beach, who rolled ten
frames without a miss, only to slip up
in the eleventh box, was the prize
t%ough-luck artist.
1t was not long after $50 o'clock that
the bowlers got busy. While there
was a goodly crowd of spectators on
hand at the start the numbers in
creased rapidly, and soon the fun was
on in earnest.
Teddy Wilson, well known to all as
the official referee of the STAR head
pin tournament, was right on the job.
He saw to it that the square deal
which every bowler who rolls in the af-
fair gets, was lived up to last night.
He also saw to 1t that the rules were
lived up to. Some forgot that there
was a foul line, but Teddy reminded
them OF II in forcible style.
Teams No. 1 and 2 started the sport.
Boan for team No. |, had a perfect
strike in the first frame. while Ter
hume, for team No. ., missed. There
after the misses were common and no
high marks were put up. Fills, with IS.
after a miss in the first box and an
other in he fourth, doing the best.
1t was much the same way with the
second squad, and also with most of
the others. Heperer, who only had n
miss in the second frame, rolled So,
tying Beach for high cor Whale,
on team No. s, only hit the headpin in
the first frame and totaled only 9, the

dead triumphs. While there seemed to
be no immediate prospect OF showers.
the chances In favor of rain looked
about the same as the prevailing odds
on the game. A postponement today
would mean. under the worlds series
rules, that the game would be played
here tomorrow. The sale OF tickets in
dicated that with favorable weather
the attendance would equal Saturdays,
which was limited only by the capacity
of the grounds.
The gathering outside the bleacher
gate before hat entrance was open
showed somewhat less enthusiasm than
on the morning of the first game of
h series. Only five boys spent the
night there and at s o'clock there was
barely 100 In line. One of those who
waited all night was a negro divinity
student, who spent the long watch
seated on a soapbox under an electric
light reading a w~ell-thumbed Bible.
No changes were expected today in
the batting order. McInnis's injured
hand was still too sore to enable him
to participate. Merkle's leg has failed
to improve as fast as he hoped, but
McGraw today showed no intention of
sending anybody in to replace him.

I'm the worlds series games baseball
fans will have opportunity of seeing a
battle between master and pupil said
Billy Evans the other day. Charley
Herzog, who shifted from New York
to Boston and then back, is playing the
difficult corner for McGraw. while
Frank Baker will look after sack No.
3 for the Athletics. 1t was Herzog who
made a third baseman out of Baker.
Like many stars Baker began his
baseball career as a pitcher. He was
with the Trappe, Maryland team,
which is not even in a class z league.
His club went to Snowfall, Maryland,
one day to play and Herzog, who was
manager of that club, took a fancy to
the youngster. He signed him for his
club.
zone day the third baseman was in
jured and Baker, a good fielding pitcher
with an arm of steel, was assigned to
fill the vacancy. Baker came fast, and
today he is regarded as n of the best
men in the country at the position.
Herzog taught Baker the finer points
of the game. 1t will be interesting to
compare the efforts of the pupil and
the master IN the big series.
I'm Baker Connie Mack has n of
the hardest hitters in the game. He
can pull a ball to right field a mile a
minute. He has a %penchant for break
ing up games by hitting the ball over
the right field wall at Shibe Park.
TN the last game with Detroit he
put two over the fence In n game, a
feat never before performed. Bakers
ability to hit has caused Manager
Mack to bar him from the park any
time the tall leader is looking over a
young third baseman.
Recently a arm friend of Mack's
sent a youngster to the Athletic man
ager for a try out. The recruit had
been breaking fences in semi-profes-
sional circles and fielding in the most
approved style. 1t Is Mack's custom
to look over the rockies in morning
practise. Often the regulars join in
the work out. During batting practise
the morning the new third baseman
reported, Baker hit three balls over
the right field wall. After he had hit
the third one over the youth inquired
the name of the slugser from Captain
Harry Davis.
"'Why, that is Frank Baker, our
third baseman,' replied Davis, who
noticed the young mar lost much of
his pepper. He retired from the field
shortly afterwards. The following
morning instead of seeing the young
ster report for practise, Manager Mack

vas a sad disappointment In his four
round bout with "Ironman" Charlie
6eiger at Troxler's Central Institute
last night. The entire four rounds were
a continual case of hug and hit in the
clinches. While Lewis was entitled to
a decision he need never put the fight
down on his record book. for 1t was
merely a workout for both men.

clever work. His bout with Hun" Fer
ris. of Orange. was a treat, and MADE
up for the o showing of the main
bout. Callaghan just toyed with his
man after he knocked him down In the
first round. Ferris is a game lad and
a glutton for punishment and stood
the ~walloping well. Professor Troxler
promised the fans to have Callaghan
at the next show.
Battling Jimmy and Paddy Kimble

tage, and near the end of the fourth
the former struck his opponent low and
Kimble dropped on his knees. He was
unable to recover himself until the bell
had sounded. Jimmy tried to make
a speech, but the crowd Kissed him.
The boys will meet again at the same
club, and another exciting "go" IL
looked for.
The pr~eliminaries were excellent and
furnished excitement throughout. After
four rounds of the toughest kind of
boxing Lew Jason managed to get the
decision over Kid Fisher. Young Sc
gala proved to be an easy victor in
his match with Johnny Palmer. Had
there been another round of boxing
Fisher would no doubt hav been laid
low. Eddie jackson, Of this city, and
Young Brown were cheered by the
crowd for their clever work. and after
four rounds the local lad was a slight
favorite. The bout between Young
Curley and Young Cardell lasted less
than a round. AS soon as the bout
started Cardell whipped Curley all over
the ring, and Referee Ross sent Cur
ley to his corner.
