Magnate Ty Cobb?

Judging from reports from all sections
Of the country. the forward pass will
be seen to even greater advantage this
year than was the case last season.
Coaches everywhere are trying out new
wrinkles involving the hurl ahead, and
some of the biggest games of the cam
paIgn may be determined by the ac-
curacy of some forward passer and
the alertness of the receiver. Certainly
all light elevens will use this play as
their only asset against heavier and
more powerful teams.

Alas, poor "stuffy."

If the rumor is correct that Jack
johnson is fiat broke in London, then
watch for something doing in the match
ing line. 1t may not be difficult to
make the champion consider bouts with
Joe Jeanette. Jim Savage. AL Palzer'
Jim Flynn, Jim Barry, and such easy
things. Johnson could probably defeat
three of these wonders in the same ring
the same night. But he'll have to be
a little more than fat broke before
he tackles Sam Langford. not that he
is afraid OF him, but for reasons OF
enmity against Joe Wo0dman, the Tar
Raby'S manager.

Injury.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept 29.-Jack
McInnes. the sensational little first
baseman of the Athletics, may not
play in the coming worlds series. II
Is believed that McInnes suffered a
broken bone in his right wrist Mon
day in the game between the Ath-
letics and Detroit when he was
struck by a pitched ball when facing
George Mullin. McInnes was forced
to retire from the game and has not
been in a uniform since.
McInnes will go to the University
of Pennsylvania today. where special
lists will subject his injured arm to an
x-ray examination to determine the
extent of the injury.
1t was at first thought that McInnes'
arm was only bruised. but since Mon
day painful swelling has developed,
and while his arm is not in Sling"
IT Is useless for ball playing purposes.

KANSAS COMMENT
THE TRuTH -ARour EGGS.


EAperlments in feeding and in COM
puIlng the value of eggs, show that If
no estimate is made for labor, one
eozen eggs can be produced at about
cents per dozen fer food, or about
naif cent per egg. This is where
everything is provided for them. Where
mems set large portion of their living
ny picking up the waste food that il
cn every farm the cost per dozen eggs
Is considerably less If all the food al
toweo 10 hens was converted into eggs,
the pront on a dozen eggs would be
large even when prices are low, but
tnucn depends on whether the hens
convert the food into eggs, flesh or i'll
support of their bodies. 1t is a fact
demonstrated, however, that when a
oozen eggs are marketed, they carry
from the farm but little of the nutri-
tious elements of the soil, In proportion
TO their value in market, and on that
account they are more profitable than
anything that can be produced on the
farm.
The right proportion of food for lay
ing mems can be scientifically aScer-
tanned. but the relative question Of the
cost OF different foods must also enter
into the question. According to some
authorities, fowls should receive about
90 per cent of flesh and % per cent of
solute, but relative. 1t serves more as
a guide to the pou1trymen than as an
1nfalhble rule. Now the question Of
grain must be decided according to the
locality and most of the various grains
Where beans Or peas can be obtained
cheaper than grains, they can take the
place of the latter very acceptably, if
ground and fed in an attractive form.
Mixed with ground beans or peas, q
little corn, barley and wheat bran
produce desirable results. Corn we
know, has the greatest amount of fat
producing material in it, and oats more
muscle forming material. Beans. how
ever, exceed any of the grains in
muscle forming material, containing So
