ONE BRIGHT RAYN
BIGGOBS OF GLOOM
By SENATOR" ?"

Those Nationals assuredly made a
great record yesterday when they let
go both sections OF the double bill to
the Chicago White Sox. Not only di1
they go down in double defeat, but they
went further and attempted to gather
in all the zeroes in captivity, for in the
eighteen inning not a single National
survived until he reached home ard
their sum total for the day was moth
ing.
The great feature was the pitching of
Cashion in the second combat. This big
fellow, who made such an auspicious
debut some time ago, and then lapsed
into rather mediocre work because of
a sore arm, yesterday pitched one OF
the greatest games since the new ball
park has been completed. His speed was
terrific, and although his control Yves
not all that could be asked he was SO
effective that only two hits, were reg
istered, and one of these was a punk
affair that was so slow that IL went
for a hit becaGse the infield could not
come in on 1t in time.
Milan's Great Work.
Next to Cashion's stellar work, it was
Milan who performed most brilliantly.
He gave a real lifelike Imitation Of how
the center garden should be defended
..
every one of his chances were hard, but
his big scream came in the fifth inning
of the second game, when he came into
the right of second base and, while GO
ing all speed ahead, harpooned the ball
around his shoestringS. The impetus
was so great that Milan could not retain
his balance, and he made half somer-
sault, but came up with the ball frozen
In his glove.
The disgusting feature of the after
noon came in an unjustifable, unfair,
unwarranted, and uncalled-for verbal
attack on Norman EIberfeld by a part
of the crowd. The second baseman fell
down on an easy chance that practically
decided the second game, and the roasts
that were aunched at him were as
severe as any Washington player ever
has been forced to endure on the home
grounds.
II there is one man more than another
who has given faithful service, who has
never stopped and VINO has subordi-
mated himself for the benefit OF the Ma
tionals, II is this same Elberfeld who
was fiayed from barrier to wire.
In fairness to those who resented the
criticism and applauded the Kid at
every turn 1t should be said that most
of the rough work was limited to the
right field pavilion and did not extend
EIberfeld will be back on the job to-
day working as hard as ever, but you
can bet your old gray bonnet that that
treatment he received yesterday cut to
the marrow.
Dixie Walker and Jim Scott were the
pitchers in the opener, and the former
was as weak as was the latter strong.
Two widely separated singles was the
extent of the familiarities the Nation
ais took with thed elivery Of Scott, and
he was so effective they never had a
chance OF scoring.
on the other hand, Walker got his
in the fifth, sixth, and ninth innings,
and the Sox had no particular diff
Guilty in getting together five runs.
Aside from Scott's work the hitting
Of Mcconnell, who got four safeties in
four trips to the plate, and a circus
catch by Bodie deserve particular at
tention.
The Washington times., 1911-09-23

held most attention through the Sec
ond game.
Cashion, however, had a worthy op-
ponent in Lange. who was supposed
to be crippled and out of commission.
While the Sox got only two hits to
Washington's six, the Nationals share
came at the wrong time, for there
were two opportunities when a hit
would have tied up the contest. 1t
was in these emergencies that Lange
went best and stopped his opponents
absolutely.
The lone tally which decided the is
sue came in the third. With one
gone Cashion gave Lange a base on
balls that was destined to be fatal
to the joys and hopes OF the homers.
Mcconnell famed, but along came
Lord, another supposed indisposed
athlete, whaied safely to right, put
ting the pitcher on third, from which
station he counted a moment later
when Elberfeld fell down on McIn-
tyres roller.
Twice during the engagement Cash
ion worked around as far as third
base, but both times expired because
of a combination of the Washington
hitters' weakness and Lang's effec-
tiveness.

Continuing tae subject on tha
conservation ol. lie s.I We find
a difficulty Uag# more ans
more 1ecea5ae n. problem that
has l. Dc taIon lato ae.auat.. Il
is the fayt SHAFT much o. the land
in our county i. faroed hy feul
ers. We batc noticed for year.
that net lew o. the land owners
are constantly changing their ten
ants that rent their firms. 1t
is our growing conviction that
quite often the mistake is made
by enacting a to high rent. The
result is each one is pumping all
ont Of the land they can, with
out any regard as to the prescr-
walton of the soil and the proper
are of it. 1t is certainly a very
poor recommendation not SO
much to the renter as to the own
er of the land to see a farm that
should be worth $3.50 to 5000 per
acre covered with sunflowers and
cuckleburs, the certain sign Of
distress and neglect. The fact is
that the man on the place may
be a good farmer but that the
place has run down by poor
farming, that all kinds Of weeds
are taking the farm and not got
TEN out in one year. Here the
motto, Live and let live" is in
Ilace. The owner of land
should see to it 10 get a good
farmer and retain him, as long as
possible. If a renter knows he
Is reasonably sure Of staying he
will be interested in building up
The place, otherwise there is but
n thought aud that is to get
all out they can to pay the rent
with a best possible margin for
themselves. This is all the
difference between farming and
farming. Some farmers will
make the owners more by paying
n third than others one half
of the crop. To an experienced
eye il is quite evident that very
much of Richardson County land
is much in need Of rest, that is.
to be sown down to clover, blue
grass or alfalfa. 1t is quite evil
dent that this problem is far
more difficult to solve on land
that is farmed by renters, than
when the owners are farming il
themselves.
To us the best way out Of ii
to leave the renters ON the farms
as ding as possible, the renter
then will find it to his interest
to build up soil as we'll as the
owner, and the result will be
beneficial to both.-.J. Il. n.
