Uncle Sans Lottery Ends.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 20.-Begin'
ming with the dead letter and pack
age sale to be held today, Uncle Sam
will discontinue the sight unseen
and pig in poke dead letter auctions
that have been part OF the regime
of the post office department for
many years. Hereafter all the art
cles sold will be opened so that bid
ders may know for what they are
bidding.
The merchants of Washington did
not like the idea of the government
enterting this field. They dug up from
the archives an old District of Colum
bia law forbidding lotteries of any
kind. That settled it, inasmuch as
the federal law forbids any lottery
transactions through the pdstoffice
department.

A few weeks ago attention was
called to Oregons 1912 crop of the
"beetatoe," a combination of the beet
and potato. said to be very prolific
and of delicious flavor. Now comes
the news that the United States gov
ernment, department of agriculture,
has imported from China new va
riety of cabbage which has wonderful
possibilities. The new cabbage is
not sown until the first week in
August, allowing the grower time
to first raise crop Of spinach or
snap beans on the same soil, but it
heads in November, the same as
ordinary cabbage. 1t is not so solid
as ordinary cabbage, but the very
deliCacy of the leaves makes it better
for cold slaw and sauerkraut and
it is entirely odorless while being
cooked
Within the same week in which
the foregoing was published, appear
ed news item from st. Paul, stat
ing that as a result of chemical soil
analysis in the greenhouses of James
j. Hill, it is believed that the pro-
duction of wheat, oats and barley
can be doubled Other dispatches re-

Burbank, some time ago, made the

What is the purpose Of the Creator
in permitting these discoveries at

pose He would be bringing these
blessings forward if He expected to
shortly destroy this planet, with all
its inhabitants, as some would like
to tell us? How strange it is that

noon. with George Mullin in reserve.
Had the Nationals and Athletics played
here yesterday, II was the intention of
Connie Mack to pitch Chief Bender. and
IT is likely that the Indian will be in

When asked what he thought of the
trade pulled of Wednesday, whereby Nc
Graw, of the New York Giants gets
Pitcher Art Fromme, of the Reds. for
Josh Devore, Pitcher Ames. and InfieIder
Groh. Manager Griffith said: "Fromme'
is a great pitcher with a good ball club
TO back him up and will doubtless help
out the Giants. l had Fromme in Gin
cinnat and know what he can do"
silk o'LoughIin, the veteran Ameri-
can League umpire, thinks he has dis
covered the methods of shortening base
ball games. 1t is a simple remedy. and.
according to O'Loughlin. rests largely
with the managers Il have been asked
why 1t is that the games are long drawn
out despite the many rules TO shorten
the contests said O'LoughIin. That is
easy. Watch the pitchers in games and
you will see the root of the evil II the
pitching is poor, the game will drag.
Then the pitchers movements prior to
delivering the ball are important. Why,
the other day ! watched a fellow take
certain prescribed walks prior to de-
livering the ball. and probably he had
been told to do it.
This pitcher would walk over to the
right. then amble to his left. then come
forward. make few preliminary move
ments, and then deliver the ball. The
game dragged along for more than two
hours. The pitcher was at fault. Stop
this nonsence and the game will be
shortened.

Fred Falkenburg Has
Improved, Says Grif

Clark Griffith fully expected to see
his Nationals break Fred Falkenberg's
winning streak Monday in Cleveland.
He remembered the Falkenberg of old,
who was the victim of many a bonn
bardment and who lost quite a few
games by having one bad inning.
"Falkenberg is a greatly improved
pitcher" said Grin after the battle.
He knows more about the art Of
pitching than he, did a few years ago.
Cy's control was too good then. He
kept putting the ball over the plate,
and when the batsmen got wise they
found it no trick to waIlop his de-
livery.
Il notice that he has overcome that
fault. He keeps the batter guessing
by not putting the ball over all the
time. His control is so good that he
can give two or three balls without
danger of passing his man. Then he
puts couple of strikes over, and the
batter is no better of than he. CIV
looked good Monday, and should win
a lot of games for the Maps this sea-
son.
The Washington herald., 1913-05-24

will be a rude awakening. The Maps are
going great Just at present, everybody
is hitting the ball hard, but when the
awakening comes it will be a sad one.
Several years ago, when George Stall
lings was manager Of the New York
iishianders. he installed a signal tipping
device ny means of an advertising sign
located in the center field fence. The
Detroit Tigers exposed the scheme, and
Stallmgs had all traces removed.
II there is a signal tipping bureau in
Cleveland it must be located in the score
beard on the left field fence. as the in
side walls are painted green and are
devoid OF all advertising matter.
Every time the Nationals and Connie
Mack s Athletics get together for a ball
game this year it rains-at least such
appears to be the case, for the Mack
men rushed to the Capital from Detroit
after playing a game in the Michigan
City Wednesday. while the Griffmen
came all the way from Cleveland to
swap punches with their ancient foe, but
there was nothing doing in the Concrete
Coliseum yesterday.
After a steady downpour here Thursday
night, the rain held off all day yesterday
until $50 o'clock. the hour set for start
ing the combat: then il rained great guns,
and a big crowd was bitterly disappointed.
Both teams reached the park in time 10
dress and both sets of players engaged in
practice. Had the rain held of for one
hour it is likely that five innings could
have been played, thereby eliminating
one of the double-headers. which will
of necessity have to be played later on.
II will he remembered that the Ath-
letics came here for the second series of
the 1918 season last month. Three games
were scheduled, and not enc of them was
played, owing to rain. This means that
the Nationals and Athletics have thus far
accumulated four dOuble-headers. which
will have TO be staged in the Capital. in
addition to the two booked for Phi!adel-
phia next Monday and Tuesday.
According to the schedule. the Athletics
come here on June .. when only one game
is booked. Griff will likely notify Connie
Mack that two games will he played on
that day. The next time the White Eli
plants visit our fair city is June %, %,

Baker Is Not Up to
GriHith's Standard

Most any manager in the country
would jump at the chance to land J.
Franklin Baker, home run hero of the
1911 worlds series, but Clark Griffith. here
with his Washington Nationals, is one
who can't see the Trappe (Md) slugser.
Grifiith says that Baker can't field q
lick. that. his bad throwing Is apt TO
turn victory into defeat for the Athletics
at any moment. and that to Offset his
poor defensive work he has to average
three hits a game. And Baker Is far
behind that average now. for he's batting
just 80.
