FEW 2:o7 TRoTTERS.
Only Thirteen Went Better Than That
in u, S. Last Year

Forty-six additions to the 2:1O trot-
ting list were made during the season
just closed. but 2:10 trotters are now
so common 1t no longer is much of a
distinction to get into the hooks as
merely a performer of that class.
From 2:10 to 2:07 is common ground
for lot of trotters, but the 2:O7 mark.
always a hard one TO pass. still is the
sieve that let's only the real cracks
through. This is why. with forty-six
new horses in the 2:10 list last sum
mer and scores of others that already
were there out for still lower records
only thirteen succeeded in heating 2:01
for the first time. Here they are:

COBB WOULD LIKE TO BAT
AGAINST NATIONAL STARS
THINKS AMERICAN LEAGUE HAS
STRONGEST PITCHERS,
And In Other Departments Younger
League Excells Older.

Ty Cobb does not agree with Ma
tional league baseball writer's who say
the Detroit star would not have been
able to reach the 400 mark in hitting
IL he had batted against National
league pitching last season. The base
ball writer's pointed to the difference
in the batting averages of American
and National league players, and made
the claim that better pitching was
the cause.
THAT kind Of stuff makes me
laugh" was Cobb's comment. Every
time | hear that old gag about better
pitching i'm the National league | am
sorry ball player is not given a
chance to play In both organizations.
Il wish | could play just one sea-
son in the National league when at
my best to show the fans of the old
organization that their pitchers are
not better and probably not as good
as those OF the American.
They say | couldn't hit 800 against
the pitching OF men like Alexander,
Rucker. Marquard Adams, Brown,
Suggs. Moore and other classy Ma
tional league hurlers.
How about hitting AGO against such
great slab artists as Johnson. Walsh,
Bender. Coombs. Ford. Gregg. Wood.
Mullin. Plank, and other American
league stars? | guess that crowd
doesn't compare favorabN with the
best in the National, eh?
Il consider the American league
faster i'm every department of the
game than the National. and think if
| we're playing in the older league
would hit even harder"

LAST NIGHT OF
POULTRY SHOW
JUDGE TAYLOR WELL PLEASED
WITH QUALITY FOUND AT
LAURlUM sHoW-HUGE
SUCCESS.

Calumet and Laurium should be
proud of their first annual poultry
show. That is the opinion voiced by
Judge Taylor of Orleans. Ind. just
after he had judged the last fowl on
exhibition. and by most of those who
have attended the show. In the first
year, the Upper Peninsula associa-
ton has stepped into class hard to
beat outside of the larger cities and
localities where agriculture provides
the principal vocation.
Judge Taylor stated to a represent
tative of The News that considering
the fact that there have been no pre-
vious shows i'm Calumet, he had not
judged an exhibit this year which
made better showing. He express
ed himself as well pleased with the
quality Of stock. stating that il com
pares very favorably with that shown
in other cities. The uniformity of the
Coops was also the subject OF favor
able comment Mr. Taylor stated that
the Laurium show presents much
better appearance. especially so far as
neatness and arrangement are con-
cerned, than most Of the shows he
had Judged.
one suggestion was made, namely
that the score card system of scoring
be discarded in future shows Judge
Taylor stated that most of the large
cities Lave already taken this step,
substituting the comparison system,
believing II much fairer for all con-
cerned. BY the score card system.
there is no opportunity to place the
birds side by side, and where only a
traction of point separates them, the
opportunity to err is evident The
comparison system is also much
quicker as only the best birds OF each
class are considered
Judge Taylor is Dentist.
The variety of stock represented is
commondable. Judge Taylor. however.
noted the absence of large exhibits

these birds are very popular in In
diana ard other sections and usually
outnumber most of the other varie-
ties.
