MISSISSIPPI CATTLE IN THE Ma
TIVE DIVISION.

Our readers are probably aware
shat the live stock markets have two
divisions from yarding cattle One is
called the native division, and the
cattle admitted to that division can
be shipped out again to any part of
Farms or to be slaughtered as the
case may be The other division is
called the the quarantine division
and the cattle yraded therein, al
though perfectly healthy, are fro.l
the country that the government
authorities know to be a tick-infest-
I'd country. In Mississippi, for in
stance. most of the state is under
quarantine, and when the cattle ar
rive in market, although they can be
sold, they cannot be shipped out a.
gain to go on farms and mix with
other cattle. Neither are some of
the slaughtereTs able to receive them
The consequence is, that the main
demand for this class of cattle is
from the packers, and generally sell
for less than if, like the natives,
they had the full benefit of all the
buyers on the market.
On March 81, at the Nationa!
Stock Yards, H.. the market Of St.
Louis, Messrs. Milton Marshall Com
mission Company received twenty
two head of steers and stays from
Nessrs. w. u. Davis and Son, of
Kinds county, Mississippi, and, that
county being free from ticks, the cat
tle are allowed to be classed as ma
lives and sold to any body and every
eody who may be inclined to buy
them. The twenty-five head were
sold by the Milton Marshall Live
stock Commission Company; the ay-
erage weight was SIG pounds, and
the remarkably good price obtained
was $3.50 per 100 pounds. On the
day of sale the market was handi-
capped by a blockade caused by the
Hoods, therefore some buyers were
unable to bid on the cattle; but it
is ctrtain that the salesman was en-
abled to get better bids han if the
cattle had been limited in selling to
the buyers in the native division.
Upon further investigations it ap-
pears safe to say that cattle in he
Southern states that can be yarded
in the native division will sell for
an average of dollar per 100 pounds
higher than if they are forced to be
Narded with other Southern cattle
in he quarantine division. South
ern stockmen will find it to their
interest to clear their country of the
cattle tick for it is worth cent
pound in the market and the cattle
Will be worth considerably more to
the grower because the feed will fat
ten the cattle instead of the ticks.
Good progress is being made in he
direction of cleaning out the ticks,
and in every case it pays to do so.

Had Hugh Chalmers offered an automo-
bile to the American league player of 1872
who struck out the least frequently, the
man who would have won the car would
in all probability have been member
of the White Elephants. 1t is a certainty
that neither the st. Louis club, which
finished next to the bottom, or the Wash
ington team, which finished next to the
top, would have claimed the winner. for
these two combinations possessed the
ablest missers in the junior organization.
The Browns struck out 1888 times in 157
games and the Senators did the Gus Hill
act on 751 occasions In 154 contests.
The White Sox were the third easiest
team to fam they whiting on 645 oeca-
sions. The Tigers were retired on strikes
604 times; the HighIanders and the Red
Sox 5s5 times; the Maps, 571 times, and
the White Elephants, 562 times The
club records of strilSe-outs were kept
last season, but the individual records

ing campaign, and then fans will be able
to learn who was the hardest man to
retire on strikes.
When Napoleon Lajoe was in his prime
he seldom struck out more than ten times
a season and last year he wasn't whitfield
very often. Harry Davis, who led the
American league in home runs for sew
eral seasons. was. on the contrary, fire.

auentIy, and when he does miss three in
a row more than once in a game, 1t gen
orally will be found that some left

1910 Jim Vaughn famed the Dixie De-
mon, who had a monopoly on winning
the Chalmers trophy until last season,
three time in one game.

conversation on the coaching line and his
arguments with umpires.
Lajoie of Cleveland-For his hard hit
ting, but more, perhaps, for his grace
full style of fielding, by which he makes
the most difficult of plays look easy.
Johnson of Washington-For his great
speed that he employs with so little ap-
parent effort; also for his pleasing per-

Walsh of Chicago-For his extreme skill
in the use of the spitball, his at-ali-ti1ues
heady work and his ability to pitch day

Evers-Tinker of Chieago-For their
smooth play and ability to make .doube

Jennings of Detroit-For his antics

FANS MAY VOTE
UPON NEW NAME
FOR LOOKOUTS

Chattanooga, January 6.--(Special.)--A
vote upon the part of local fans Is likely
to be necessary to decide upon a new sou-
briquet for the Lookouts. That the nick
name must be changed, all the local fans
have already agreed. but it has been diff
fcut to discover what the consensus of
opinion is as to the most suitable title to
be adopted after the change.
In view of the fact that the club tais
year is to adopt for the first time red
stockings, caps and letters, the soubriquet
Reds or Red Sox would be very ap-
plcable. If these two names alope are
submitted 1t is reasonably certain that
local fans will choose "Red Sox,' as some
few of them believe that there is some

PRATT NO "HOLD-OUT"

s1t's news to me-" remarked
Derrill Pratt, the star second
sacker of the st. Louis Browns,
when asked last night concern
ing the report that he was hold
ing out for $1,000 increase in
salary next season.
II have no idea where such
report could have originated
he added. "rve certainly said
nothing to that effect. In fact 1
have not received my contract
as vet. and while l expect a
raise, / am not holding out for
one and haven't asked for any
stipulated amount
AS is known by many the re-
port has been current in the
south recently that the Birming-
ham phenom had Joined the
"ho1d-outs" and had declared
that he would have a $1,000 sal
ary increase before he would
sign a 1918 contract. But Der
rill. as seen above, doesn't see 1t
that way. His phenomenal work
with the Browns last season will
probably mean that he gets
substantial raise of salary next
season, but he's not holding out
to get it,
1t is not known just where the
report that he was demanding
a raise originated.

Nix On Slang in Referring to
Boxing, Says St. Louis Expert
By HARRY s. SHARPE
Widely Known Boxing Expert

and-So presented a CORY sight at the end
of the fifth roundS' and then to read on
and discover that the contest continued
for 10 or 20 rounds to a draw. 1t may be
that So-and-So was bleeding freely from
the nose. but the ''gory sight etc, state
ment makes the very idea of it sickenins
and creates impression that is far
more lasting than the fact that the boxer
referred to suffered only a superficial in
jury and continued the contest with all
his faculties.
In the hands of clever writer slang
can sometimes be made Interestingly ex.
pressive, but when used merely in the
vernacular as so often applied to boxing
and boxers it has tendency to coarser
and brutalize the sport beyond what is
sustained by the. evidence.
When exaggerated slang expressions
are used in chipnicling a boxing contest
instead of a statement of facts in good
plain language, 1t is no wonder that the
reading publics mind dwels less on the
sport and more on thugs.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-07

The use of slang and inaccuracies when
referring to a boxer or the boxing game
has never done the sport any good. To
say that Billy Smith was~biffed in the
kisser'' is not an improvement upon the
statement that Smith received blow in
the mouth. Nor does the statement that
"Blank stopped southpaw hook that put
his right peep on the blink make it any
palmer to some readers that a left hook
damaged Blanks right eye.
Exaggeration to the effect that NC
Carthy buried his glove in o. Brien's
bread basket" or that Hogan whipped
a hard right over that split his op-
ponents face wide open," create pre-
judice that is hard to overcome, even
when the truth is known and the injury
complained of has been a blow to the
stomach or no worse than a slight cut
over the eye or left cheek bone.
