Baseball Over the Sea.

A native son of the Golden West.
born in Los Angeles and now con-
Quoting great business enterprise In
the city, is also a good deal Of O.
sport. Among other things he owns
a baseball team, and also a great
pleasure pier at Venice. He has an
inspiration which could only be con-
ceived in the brain Of native son.
and that would put Coney Island and
all other seaside resorts In the dis
card. He proposes to have his base
ball team play ball over the surface
of the sounding seas. Now, is not
that an idea? He does not aspire to
work miracles and teach his players
to run bases on the water. The idea
is to convert his big pier into big
park with a grass plat diamond" and
there put up the great American ath-
letic game.

Greatest Sheep Dog.

Pink, the greatest sheep dog Of her
day, belong to Mr.. Moses of Bro
gynton Farm, Oswestry, Scotland,
has died at the age Of seven. Pink
was endowed with almost human sa-
gacity and had won more first prizes
than any other sheep dog in trials in
various parts Of the country. Pink
was a smooth-haired collie, Clearly
built after the greyhound style. That
was how she got her speed. She was
as gentle with chicken or q pig as
with a sheep. She never distressed
or irritated sheep, but If one were
stubborn she would stand facing it
and at the whistle walk quietly up and
seize it by the nose, and the sheep
had to go where she wanted.

FARMERS INSTITUT ES

< It is worthy of note that the
farmers of Carroll county are
taking much more interest in the
annual farmers institute than
they formerly did, says the West
minister Advocate. The atten-
dance last Friday and Saturday,
at the sessions which were held
in the courthouse here, was par
ticularly good, and everyone who
heard the illustrated lectures pro-
nounced them full of instruction
and interest.
There are no better farms or
farmers in the State of Maryland
than are to be found in this
county. Our farmers are study
ing the most approved scientific
methods, and are doing more in
telligent work than they have
ever done before.
Until the last year or so farm
ers in this community did not
seem to care much for the insti-
tutes. It is noteworthy that the
more advanced a community is
in its practice of agriculture, the
less kindly it seeks or accepts in
struction from without. It is
said to be a subject of common
remark in Secretary Wilson's
Department at Washington that
the new South is hungrily seek
ing and applying the scientific
instruction which the Northern
farmer feels already too wise to
appreciate.
With a high appreciation of
the Individual effort shown by
many of our farmers, none will
claim that their knowledge of
business both theoretical and
practical-is not spent to i'm
provement, and in the words of
DIR. r. S. Hill, the institute direc-
tor, there is no way of increas-
ing the farmers knowledge, at
maximum of inconvenience with
a maximum of benefits, so favor
able as to unite in making these
annual gatherings popular in size
and rich in excellence.

Fuel Of the Future.

In the opinion of many authorities,
when the existing supplies of fuel be-
come limited men must rely upon al
cohol produced from vegetation of
some sort which may be produced in
any required quantity. 1t is thought
that the alcohol will be manufactured
either from potato starch or sawdust,
but it has been suggested that when
the question becomes urgent some
highly specialized plant will have
been brought into existence for the
sole purpose of absorbing the maxi
mum amount of carbon dioxide from
the air. The wonderful Improvements
which hybridization has already effect
ed save this idea from being regarded
as too anciful.-Harper's Weekly.

Something New Under the Sun.

There is reason to believe. says
Prof. J. w. Nicholson of the Royal
Astronomical society, that the spec
trum is now revealing in the corona
of the sun a more elementary form of
matter than any yet discovered on the
earth. 1t is proposed to call this ele-
mentary substance "nebulium." Prof.
Nicholson says the spectrum of the
far distant nebulae in the depths of
space indicates that they are COM
posed of this same "nebulium," which
is coming to light in the solar radia-
tions. "Nebulium" is considered as
being a lighter gas than hydrogen.

THF "ALL-STAR" FARMER BOYS.

There'll be no trouble about
keeping on the farm the forty
two boys awarded Government
certificates for raising more than
100 bushels of corn to the acre.
Though the United States pro-
duces three-fourths of the
worlds corn, the average per
acre in 1911 was only 23.9
bushels; in 1910. 27.7. The crop
of 1911 was valued at 81, $685.
600, 900, and the bumper" crop
Of 1912 was the largest single
addition to the national wealth.
If the acreage could be brought
up to the standard set by these
boys, we would furnish bread
for half the world.
It is gratifying to note that
nineteen of these "all-star"
boys come from, the South. We
have had baseball and football
stars" and stars Of the
stage, but all pale before the far
mer boys who are the ''rea
things" Maryland is proud to
find among them one of her own
boys, Leroy Nichols. of High
land. He might be to Maryland
what Jerry Moore was to South
Carolina-the example that has
led to the formation of hundreds
of corn clubs" stirring up a
wholesome interest among boys
on thousands of farms which
they are enriching and bringing
up to the standard. Baltimore

CHICAGO. August 2-Clarence Griffin

today by winning the final match of the
western tournament at Onwentsia from
Joe Armstrong of st. Paul, Ga, 60

Armstrong made a great fight in the
last two games of the final set. He bat
tied both to deuce, but was unable to
withstand the mastery placing of the
San Franciscan.

to defend his title leaves Griffin in pos.
session of the western championship
Griffin is not Of the same speed as Nc.
Loughlin and the latters honors as ma
tional master are hardly in danger, ac-
cording to experts.
Griffin today played much the same sort
of a game that brought him winner
through the weeks battles. The coast
boys reliance today. as In his previous
matches, was on his steadiness. Unruffied
by the desperate rallies Of his antagonist.
he played with mechanical certainty and
confidence. His generalship was equa
to that which it was prophesied would
be shown by the st. Paul player, and his
racquet he handled in "a manner far
superior.
Opposed to Grifiin's cross-court shots
and side line smashes, Armstrong pitted
drives to the base line. On these he had
been returned winner over Walter Hayes
and Harry Waidner and depended or
them to win points in the pinches.
But Griffin handled the back court balls
as If he liked them, and seldom allowed
them to keep him too far away from the
net, where he was way ahead Of the

MUCH TOO OFTEN
Griffith Protests to Richmond
Management Against Using
Him So Much.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
RICHMOND. August 2-Reports that
Manager Clark Griffith has protested to
the management of the Richmond Vir-
sinia League team against the too fire.
quent use OF Yancs Wyatt Ayres, the
six-foot-two mountaineer, whom he pur-
chased from that club last season, and
later loaned them for the present year,
have caused many to wonder just what
the man whom Grit will give a tryout
during the fall and who is the leading
pitcher of the Virginia circuit is really
doing.
Not only is the Hillsville Hurricane the
leading slabman of the league. when the
games won and lost are used as a basis
of record, but he undoubtedly holds first
place when statistics are compiled, after
the method which has just been intro
duced into the American League.
Clark Griffith keeps a watchful eye
over the performances of his youngsters
in the minors and he could hardly have

lows services. How well Ayres has
stood the strain and what he is capable
of is shown by the accompanying table.
Five Games in Eight Days.
PROBABLY his greatest 1eat occurred
during the latter part of the past month
when he hurled five games in eight days.,
However. glance over the pitching
dates shows that on three occasions he
has been sent to the hilltop on successive
days and that in seven other instances
he has been called upon to take up the
box work with but one days rest. 1t has
never been necessary to hoist him off the
mound and during the greater part of the
time he has worked the entire game. OF
late, though. Manager Griffin has fire.
quently sent him in after the Colts had
obtained lead and four of the last five
in which he has appeared have not been
full ones.
That Ayres' work does not suffer un-
der the added labor is shown by the
figures, which prove conclusively that
he is something of an iron man in
the national game. Through July the
dc or had worked in twenty-seven
ga0es, twenty-five of which had been
Wa by Richmond. During this time he
had pitched POI Is innings and had given
but sixteen men bases on balls. There
had been garnered off his delivery only
l3t hits. or an average of slightly more
than full game: while figured on the
same basis his strike-outs numbered . TO
the full game.
The Hillsville hurricane has not hurled
any extra session games this season In
but one contest has he walked as many
as three opponents, and this occurred
during a second consecutive game His
greatest number of strike-outs for a single
game is thirteen. a mark set at three
separate times. while there are but three
instances in which opposing teams have
bingles
The figures hy games follow.
