will be a good one to hit, and he will
set himself" grab toe hold" and
double his chances of a base hit.
Ordinarily both the Detroit team
and the Athletics are good waiting
teams, teams that have opposing pitch
ers in distress perhaps as often as any
clubs Yet Detroit threw away a
Worlds championship that looked
easy, and the Athletics came near the
same fate, by lapses in their system.
In the Worlds series between Pitts
burg and Detroit it looked as if the
Pirates did not have curve pitchers
enough, or of sufficient quality, to pre-
vent Detroit from smuggling its way to
victory. Fred Clark WAS forced to
fall back upon Adams, fairly good,
but not sensational curve ball pitcher,
who was young and inexperienced.
In the opening game Adams was as
nervous and shaken az any pitcher
ever was. He WIS trembling and white
from nervousness and the strain. He
passed the first batter without getting
a ball over the plate. and with Bush,
one of the best walters and one of the
hardest men In the business to pitch
to at bat, Adams seemed in dire
straits There Jennings made the
greatest mistake of his career. He

Enthusiastic is women's praise of

TENDERFEET WIN
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
HILL AND SONS, THE DAT CHAM
PlONS, ARE cOckNEYS BORN
AND BRED.

City-bred in the worlds greatest
metropolis and unframed as to things
agricultural, were ]. c.. Hill and his
three boys when they settled on home
steads at Lloydminster, in the Prov.
ince of Saskatchewan (western Can
ada), eight years ago. Today they
are the recognized champion oat grow
ers of the North American continent,
having won twice in succession the
silver challenge cup, valued at $1,000.
at the Fifth National Corn exposition,
Columbia, S. c. The Plate, officially
known as the Colorado Dat trophy, is
emblematic of the grand champion
ship prize for the best bushel of oats
exhibited by individual farmers or ex-
pertinent farms at these expositions.
The Hill entry won this year in the
face Of the keenest competition, hun
dreds of exhibits being sent by expe-
rienced farmers from all parts of the
United States and Canada. The oats
were grown On land which was wild
prairie less than four years ago.
When Mr.. Hill and his three sons.
who probably never saw wider acre
age than the hills OF Hampstead
Heath, or the parks of London, came
to Saskatchewan eight years ago, they
had little more capital than was re-
quired for homestead entry fees. They
filed on four homesteads in the Lloyd
minister district, which straddles the
boundary of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan. They went to work with a will,
ripping the rich brown sod with break
ing plOws and put in crop, which
yielded fair returns.
They labored early and late and de-
MED themselves paltry pleasures, glad
to stand the gaff for while in rising
to their possibilities. They talked with
successful farmers and studied crops
and conditions and profited by both.
The new life on the farm was strange
but they never lost heart, handicapped
as they were by lack of experience
and capital
The farm house, modern in every
respect, compares favorably with any
residence in the city. The Hills have
substantial bank accounts and their
credit is gilt-edge from Edmonton to
Winnipeg and beyond.
There is nothing secret about our
methods nor is our plan copyrighted.
We first made a thorough study of
climatic conditions, soil and seed"
said Mr.. Hill I'VE tended our crops
carefully and gradually added live
stock, realizing from the beginning
that mixed farming would pay larger
and more certain returns than straight
grain growing We have demonstrated
that fact to our satisfaction and the
result is that many of the farmers in
the district are following our exam
pie"
The land that the Hills work is of
the same class as may be found any,
where in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or

on the second short bound, or rather
to his right, and as he was coming for
ward and scooped the ball perfectly,
he had an easy play TO the plate. In
stead of throwing there he flashed the
ball like shot to Barry at second
base, whirled, raced for first and
caught Barry's return throw on top of

TO TRY HALF.TIME SCHOOLS

Worcester, Mass, Sept. 3.-With the
re-opening of the public schools this
week an innovation was introduced
in the form of half-time schools of
grammar and highschool grades. These
schools are intended for the benefit
of boys and girls more than fourteen
years of age who want to obtain an
education and, at the same time, con-
tinue their earnings of money as sup.
port of themselves and their families
The plan provides that the boys and
the girls employed in factories that
wish to cooperate in the plan work
in pairs The work in these factories
will be so laid out that when one boy
is in school for a week, the other o
the pair will do his work in the shop
The same plan will be carried out il
factories where girls are employed.

Chairman Simmons of the Finance

were disposed Of trust legislation

that winter would find the Legislators
still in session.

But when within the market place
To sing it l made bold.
