But in his challenge AID is reported
to have said he did NOT have brok-

for canceling his fight scheduled for
tomorrow night with Charlie White.
Well admit we don't know the

a broken rib there is something fishy

Baseball Is One Thing-Dope Is
Something Else Again.

-
This is the season of the year when
the delirious baseball dopist gets in
his best ticks. Actual playing war
fare is ended, and hop dreams in
many instances take the place of
diamond combats.
just how far the average reader
OF a sport page believes these yen
yarns we don't know, but it is hard to
figure that intelligence among base
ball followers is at such a low ebb
that they will fall for the latest rumor
from Philadelphia.
This report, upon which several
papers were gullible enough to pay
telegraph tolls, informs us that Frank
Baker, third baseman of the Mack
men, and destroyer of Giant hopes, Z
is to retire from baseball to take up
business career.
That is the best we have had shot
at us in some time. The only way
Baker can be retired is to turn Henry
Spencer loose on him or mail him a
letter containing couple of million
germs. These methods are respect
fully suggested to the management
of the Giants and the seven other
clubs of the American League.
Baseball is Bakers business" and
he is making a lot of money out of
it. Just what branch of commercial
ism Baker would go into we don't
know. He was a farmer before he
became a ballplayer. and all the
money he has came from the dia-
mond. His salary is in. the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 a year, and in the
last four seasons he has taken part
in three battles for worlds cham
/ pionship. He was on the winning
side in each, and his share of the
spoils must have amounted to at
least $4,000. e.

Prof. H. A. Morgan, of the Ten

talk to farmers recently, gave a
good example of the sort of poor
business farming the South has
been guilty of for many years. We
buy timothy hay from the North
and pay from $40 to $25 a ton for
it, and sell these Northern farm
ers who produce the timothy hay
Our cottonseed meal at from S25 to
$50 a ton. A ton of timothy hay
contains about 20 pounds of nitro

not a fair trade to our lands.

GOOD AND BAD CROP ROTA-
TIONS.


A reader wants to know what -
the real meaning of the phrase or
term, crop rotation He asks II
allowing the land to grow up IN
weeds and grass n year and oul-
tivating it the next is not crop o
tation:'
Yes. this IS n kind Of crop o
tation. Another kind IS to culti-
vate the land in cotton for IS or so
years until it becomes too poor to
make a profitable crop and then
turn it out and allow it to grow up
in pines or any natural growth
which may come on it. These are
crop rotations, all right. but they
are not the best kind of rotation.
To allow weeds and grass to
grow on the land for one or more
years. or as it is generally called
to let it LAY OUT or rest" is a ro-
tation which may improve the fer
tility Of the soil, but it IS too slow
and wasteful a rotation. The land
may be made to grow a crop that
will pay a profit and at the same
time improve the land more rap
idly.
Cotton followed by rye during
the winter is a one-year, but a two
crop rotation; and cotton followed
with crimson clover or rye and that
followed by corr in which cowpeas
are sowed at the last working. is a
1%our-crop, but a tWo-vear rotation.
But the word rotation carries with
it the idea of repeating or follow
ing the series Of crops round and
round. This is the central or i'm
portant idea which the Southern
farmer has missed. His attempts
at soil improvement by crop roth
ton have been ~spasrnodic, irregular
and short-lived.
To put a crop of cowpeas or
some other legume in the rotation
once IN every three or four years
IS about like feeding a horse or a
COW one a week. 1t may save
feed, but it is hard on the animal.
It may appear that we are getting
more from the land when we feed
the soil only about once IN two or
three years and then give it only a
half ration by leaving only the
stubble and roots of some legrn1e !:
but it is hard on the soil and the
actual results are written plainly

GGTM going to wipe one-half the
South off the lightweight
map Thursday night" writes
Frank Whitney, of Cedar Rapids,
to local friend, land then if they
will give me a chance at Mandot l
think l can finish the job"
Whitney referred, of course, to
his bout with frankie Russell at
the Auditorium Armory Thursday
night. The Iowan believes that,
since Jake Abel has developed the
frozen foot, only Russell and Man
dot among Southern boxers are
worth noticing by aspiring light
weights. But Whitney knows
mighty we'll that Russell and Man
dot, the French market lads, are
stumbling blocks worth avoiding by
anybody in the 133-pound division.
Whitney naturally thinks he is
going to win. The Fighting Car
penter has taken on an awful lot
of confidence of late. He showed
it by agreeing to meet Packey Nc
Farland in bout in which he had
to give away a lot of weight. He
believes he can whip anybody of his
weight in the world, bar about a
half dozen men, and he is entirely
willing to take on any of the half
dozen as an experiment.
About the only thing that equals
Whitney's confidence is RusselPs.

his chances with all he has in the

the decision against them in the
Knockout Brown engagement was
an absolute fluke and that Whitney
will be soft picking.
It's going to be q tough night for

ly to be hard for the arbiter of

or whether Whitney should lose on

Both boys will play, of course, for

of that Brown defeat. Whitney is

go in for blood.

class championship The games
this year promise to be better than

one department and some in an
other.
Under the efficient training of
the varsity players much football
material is being developed for flu
ture Auburn teams. There is really
more spirit in the practice scrim-
images than there is in the fall
The different classes are out in
force, urging on their representa-
tives, and there is no chance for
player to shirk with so many inter
ested pairs of eyes watching every
move.
Only three games are played, and
as there have been many tie scores
records are kept Of the ground
gained so that the team gaining
the most ground is declared the
winner should the score be a tie.
The first game will be played
February between the seniors and
freshmen. On February II the soph-
ignores and juniors VIII have it out
and on February % the champion
ship will be decided. The grand
finale will come off when the all
class team will play the varsity
men now in college. This will take
place on February 20.

The basket ball team is rapidly
improving and on its next trip to

ed TO put up much better article
of ball than on the previous trip.
There are games TO be played still

to-
So Mike was billed as Willie
Knockemoffski, and under this title
he fought and won a slather Of pre-

Later on he took over his real
name and fought some good bat
ties.
Possibly Mike wasn't the great
est boxer in the world, though he
admittedly whipped some good
men. There was one thing about
1t, though, Mike never stalled and
ne never framed. He fought every
fight for all it was worth. Now
that he has turned referee he il
