HARVARD STAR OUT OF GAME
Tudor Gardiner Leading Candidate for
End on Gridiron Team, Probably
viii Never Play Again.

Tudor Gardiner, star tackle of the
Harvard varsity eleven of 1911 and a
leading candidate for end on the pres
ent crimson team, probably will never
play football again.
Gardiner was lost to the Harvard
team when physicians advised against
his playing. He broke his forearm in
the Harvard-Princeton game two years
ago and the injury kept him out of the
game last year. Under the test of
two weeks practice the arm was found
too weak to allow him to play with
reasonable safety.
His absence, together with the i'll
ness of Milholland and Dana and the
ineligibility of Smith. has left Harvard
with only three available ends. instead
of the seven who started the practice
season.

MAY KILL BIG SERIES
Worlds Series Becoming Harder
to Handle Each Year.
Fact That Four Clubs Have Monopo-
liked All of Money in Post-season
Gold Mine for Four Years
Causes Dissatisfaction.

With half a million dollars of easy
money for one weeks play, the
worlds championship series is each
year becoming more and more difficult
to handle, and this season threatens
to ruf1e the long and well establish
ed peace of organized baseball. To
begin with, the fact that four clubs
have monopolized all of the money in
this post-season gold mine for the last
four years has stirred up feeling of
dissatisfaction among the other IL
clubs forming the two big circuits.
Last season an effort was made to al
leviate this growing feeling a little by
ordering that a certain per cent. of
the receipts from the big series
should be turned over for working
fund for the two leagues, but this
failed, since the Boston and New
York clubs refused to give up the
money.
The greed for gold that discussion
over this situation has excited in con-
sidering the enormous returns re-
ceived from the half-a-dozen or so
games of this short series seems to
have entered the blood of all connect
ed with baseball, with the result that
the money that can be made out of
the games has become of greater i'm
portance than anything else, not even
excepting winning the series. This
is proven by the readiness of the ri
val managers to permit star players
to write or pretend to write daily re-
ports of the games during the prog
ress of the series, notwithstanding the
fact that they cannot deny that writ
ing or pretending to write such arti-
cles at the conclusion of each game
must act as a detriment to the play
OF such players, since it takes their
minds off the actual playing of the
game
Another thing that is disturbing the
general public is the business meth
DDS of the two pennant-winning ball
clubs in disposing of tickets for the
games. Under announced conditions
all reserved seat tickets are placed on
sale on one day, and it is a case of
first come first served for two seats
each, every purchase to be for three
games that are likely to be played in
the city where they are purchased. No
one can buy more than two seats and
all tickets call for the three games,
so those who plan to see only one or
two games must combine with some
other person who also wishes to see
one or two games and buy partner
ship ticket calling for three games.
While very unsatisfactory to many
baseball patrons, this system is a
very good thing for the ball club. In
the first place it insures a big crowd
for each of the three games in each
city. The crowds are sure to be linn
tied only by the size of the grounds
for the first game, and by this ar
rangement must be equally as large
for the two succeeding games in each
city, no matter how one-sided the Sc
ries may prove. 1t is a very cute
business move for this reason, and
also for the additional reason that
one sale disposes of all the tickets.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
HOUSING POULTRY RIGHT
Good Feed and Care Are Wasted Unless
Your Hens Have a Good House
N A


Poultry Instructor, Il. l. State College.
Poultry keepers of to-day know that
it pays to give laying hens clean, dry,
bright sunny house in which to live, es-
pecially during cold weather.
Hen houses for winter layers should
be built as snug as possible on the three
sides, north, east and west, and with an
absolutely tight roof. The south side
should be almost entirely open to the
sun and air. Muslin curtains may be
provided so as to partly close the front
on very cold nights or during stormy
| weather. There is no danger from ex-
posture in an open front house during
the day or at night, provided that all
openings are on one side and below a
horizontal plane of the roosts. This
open front must always face the south
or southeast
All poultry houses should be located
where they will get the morning sun
and should be elevated so that the rain
and surface water will drain away from
them.
An old style hen house can easily be
remodeled by tearing out the south front
and leaving it open for sun and air. II
the roof leaks, cover with roofing paper.
Both ends and the back of the house
should also be wind proof. If the house
is more than eight feet high, it should
be sealed up about seven feet from the
floor. Allow from three to four square
feet of foor space for each hen.
Sep q err is the best month in all
the y,.. for the annual housekeeping.
Remove all fixtures such as roosts, drop
ping boards and nests. Brush the cob
webs and dust from the walls and re-
move the litter and dirt from the floors.
Where floors are of earth, remove as
much as appears to be mixed with dirt
or eNcrement.
Then with spray pump or brush
apply lime wash to every part OF the
building. This lime wash is made by
shaking rocS lime with hot water and
thinning to the consistency OF skim
milk If per cent. of carbolic acid
is added, the wash will be more eifectu-
al as a disinfectant.
The roosts should be painted with ker.
osene, nests thoroughly cleansed and to-
baceo dust or stems added to the straw
or sawdust nesting material. Cover the
floor again with clean sand or gravel to
the depth OF four or six inches If not
too coarse, this will provide dust bath
for the fowls. Where dropping boards
are used under the roots, they help to
keep the floor clean and facilitate the
work of removing the manure.
