COBB TO SWAT BALL
HARDER THAN EVER

New York, Dec 27-Another thorn
has been pressed into the flesh of the
pitchers in the American league. Ty
Cobb, the demon Outfield slugger of
the Detroit Tigers, has invented a new
bat, which he says will enable him to
swat the pill even harder than in years
past, and any pitcher who has faced
the famous Tyrus will testify to his
capability in the direction of sending
the ball on a nice long journey.
Cobbs invention is in the nature Of
a thin cork grip on the handle of the
bat and its purpose is to do away
with the sting when the bat meets the
ball It also prevents the hands from
Slipping on the bat more effectively
than does the old method of wrapping
the bat with tape.

EW YORK, Dec. 27.-The year OF
N 1913 was a rather dull period for
\ lovers of things pugiIistic. In
looking over the records of those &C
lively engaged in the making Of ring
history We are impressed with the fact
that the year just drawing to a close
was not especially productive Of the
sensational in fistiana-
Not a single championship title
changed ownership during the year.
Nor have the two divisions of profess
siOnal pugilism which for several years
now have known no recognized lead
ers-the welter and middle weight
classes-prOduced men whose achieve
ments would entitle them to such recog-
milton
And it is a lean year in boxing when
some one Of its many weight divisions
knows no change Of champion
\
Jack Johnson is still the acknowl-
edged worlds champion heavyweight;
the middle and welter classes have no
recognized leaders.-Willie Ritchie is
undisputed lightweight champion of
the world, while Johnny Klbane and
Johnny CoulOn still reign at the head
of the American feather and bantam
weight divisions, respectively.
Probably the most noteworthy, or I
might better say, noticeable incident
In puglltsm of the year was the marked
deterioration In the work Of. the three
leading negro neavyWe lights of the
country, namely Jack Johnson. sam

GLIDING the miserable showing of Jack
Johnson and Langfords and Jeannette's
latest fiascO, both occurring in Paris
last Week-indicate that the day of
negro supremacy in the heavyweight
division is about over.
However, there would be greater
cause for rejoicing if the slump in
prestige of the negro fighters were
accompanied, or brought about. by an
appreciable advancement in the skill
and experience of the white heavy
weights.
In other words we would much pre-

Upon many Kentucky farms are
mature apple and peach orchards
that have been neglected for many
years and have produced no income
further than an occasional small
crop of uncertain quality. With a
little investment and a little work
at the proper time great many of
these orchards can be made to re-
turn cash income that will be an
important item in the farm economy
For the most part, the CONNER
ciai orchards of the State are now
being sprayed. On the other hand
the ANAL home orchards that re-
ceive this attention are exceptions
rather than the rule. On account o.
/, ne lack of knowledge of the proper
means to apply in combating the
common orchard pests. many or
chardists have come to believe that
fruit growing Is not profitable
business. Under the conditions pre-
vailing in many orchards this Is q
perfectly correct conclusion.
The prevalence Of San Jose scale
in all parts of the State, and the
great harm that 1t does before 1t is
discovered by the grower, plainly In
dicates the necessity of careful in
spection of the orchards OF the
State.
The horticultural Department Of
the Kentucky Experiment Station
recognizing the Importance of frui'
growing to the State, decides to as.
sist our fruit growers to discover
serious insect pests II they are pres
ent and to give timely suggestions
for the treatment of trees before
they are permanently injured.
| The Department has provided foI
the employment OF an assistant, who
is to be especially assigned
to the work Of inspecting orchards
If San Jose scale or any other ser
ious orchard pest is found upon In
spection, the grower Is taught T.
know 1t and the methods OF CONTROL
ing 1t are fully explained. Sugges-
tons will also be given along the
lines of pruning and cultivation OF
orchards. Later on the Department
plans to hold public spraying and
pruning demonstration throughout
the various fruit growing sections.
The Horticultural Department de
sires the names and addresses of al
men interested In fruit growing al
over the State. in order that we
may send them publications that are
issued and, in order that we may
inspect their orchards when practic.
able. Also send names of your &C

All packages should have the name

marked on the outside.
Persons who especially desire ia
have their orchards inspected should
make request as soon as possible
