TO JUDGE A PITCHER
Only Way Is to See Him in Ao-
ton, Says Mcclure.
TwIrIer May Have Everything In
Practice, Only to "5Iow" When
the Real Test comes-Fight
Ing Spirit Is What Counts.

THE only way to tell anything about
a pitcher is to see him pitch" said
Jim Mcclure in response to a ques.
ton as to what he thought of some
OF the youngsters of the Tiger squad,
These boys have all the actions of
pitchers so far as any one can see
from the practice stunts, but until they
have been under fire I decline to pass
final Judgment on them.
ITO my mind the ideal athlete ia
the one who is best when the neces-
sity for being strong is greatest. It's
that old fighting spirit that counts.
There are lots of fellows who are
wonders in practice, no matter what
line of sport they may be engaged in.
But parlor boxers seldom are fighters.
and many fine warm-up pitchers fall
down terribly when they come to face
the music in regular game.
Many time I have warmed up
men who had everything that I ever
have seen pitcher display. Speed.
curves, control and everything else
would be theirs and would feel CON
tident that they would be able to win
that day If we got them couple of
runs. Then these fellows would rs
out to the center of the diamond and
show me about half Of what they
had displayed in warming up nrac-
tfce. II
1T isn't always a lack OF gameness
That accounts for a pitchers failure
to do as we'll in game as in practice.
Some of the men are So anxious to
win that they work themselves into
a stew. There are plenty of fellows
who are game yet can't do their best
when they want to. 1t seems to be-
sort of a baseball instinct that en-
aDles the great pitcher to- rise to the
emergency. He has that fighting spirit,
but at the same time keeps his head
cool.
The youngsters OF the Detroit
squad might pitch great ball when
handing them up to the batters in
practice with nothing depending on
the outcome Of the sluggers' efforts
and yet fall down against even 4
mediocre club in a regular game. I
nave seen 1t repeatedly happen that
a twir1er would make the batsmen of
a strong American league club look
badly when he was pitching to them
IN practice and then let some class u
or college nine hammer him all over
the place.

Farmers Beware
DiSCOlOred Beans
M. c. C. Issues Word OF Caution Re-
sarding Planting

East Lansing, Mich, May 23--The ex-
pertinent station of the agricultural
college is out with warning to far
mers on beans. The bulletin says in
part:-The wet conditions which pre-
vailed generally over the state during
the fall months from late September
until after heavy frosts, presented the
most unfavorable conditions for har-
vesting the bean crop which has been
experienced in Michigan for many
years. 1t was necessary. to turn the
beans repeatedly. and in most cases to
expose them to the unfavorable weather
for several weeks. This resulted in the
development of mold and the beans be-
coming badly discolored- In many
cases also the crop was not harvested
before heavy frosts or harvested in a
wet incurred condition, and were later
injured by freezing. Numerous tests
of these discolored beans which have
been received from different sections
of the State show a low termination,
in fact. practically all of these beans
failed to terminate, or made a very
weak growth.
All farmers are cautioned about
planting any beans that are badly dis
colored, as it will be impossible to get
a normal stand and growth even by
thick planting. Many tests of beans
showing no discoloration have likewise
resulted in very low termination,
probably due to the fact that they
were frozen while in wet condition.
The farmers of the State have not
usually made termination tests of
their beans under normal conditions,
but it is especially important this year.
1t is important not only on account of
getting a good grade of beans which
will show good percentage of germ
nation, but as all bean growers know it
is important to have seed that will make
quick vigorous termination. The
beans showing slow termination and
retarded growth seldom, if ever, make
a satisfactory crop.
All bean growers are urged to make
simple termination tests of their seed
beans as follows: Plant 100 beans in
some sand or loamy SOIL either in a
box inside or in warm place outside.
After the first beans have been up for
two or three days make count OF
those that have terminated and de-
termine the percentage. The germi-
nation test may also be made by plac,
ing the beans between two pieces OF
cloth or blotting paper which are kept
in a moist condition in closed recepta-
Gle. If the seed beans show low per
centage of termination or fail to make
a vigorous growth in the germinator,
new seed should be secured. If seed car
he found in the neighborhood. which
was harvested early in a good condition
this will probably show good germi-
nation. Usually the local bean iobber
| will be able to secure seed of gooo
quality for the bean growers of the
community, if the demand for the same
is made known sufficiently early.
