UPHELD IN EAST
Kansas Jury Acquits Barber
Accused of Crime Similar
to Reno Affair

WICHITA. Kan, Sept. 24.--I,ee
Baker, barber, was acquitted of a
white slavery charge in the federal
court yesterday after Judge John C.
Pollock had instructed the jury that
it must be shown that Baker took
Cora Slower to Texas for commercial
purposes before the jury could con-
Wet him of violating the Mann law.
Baker yesterday entered a plea of
guilty. Judge Pollock asked IL the
plea was based on the Interpretation
OF the Mann law in the Diggs case in
California. Bakers attorney answered
that it was. Judge Pollock then said
the Mann act applied only to CONNER
cial features of the interstate trans
portation of women, and suggested
the plea be changed to not guilty.
1T was not the aim Of congress to
prevent the personal escapades of any
man." said Judge Pollock.

TALKS HIMSELF OUT or A JOB
Dee Walsh, ex-srown shortstopper.
Got in Bad by Daring Pitchers
to Put Them Over.

Umpire Silk" O'Loughlin says Dee
Walsh talked himself out of job with
the American league. According to
OIcughlin, Walsh's specially was to
strut up to the plate and dare the
pitcher to put 1t over.
Can you imagine a snip of kid
like Walsh, who isn't much bigger
than peanut, daring big fellow like
Walter Johnson to stick it over the
pan?" said O'Loughlin. THE average
American league pitcher would make
two of Dee Walsh. The kid got him
self in bad trying to bluff EN-. Ho
thought it the proper caper, but it
worked the other way. The pitchers
tabled him as fresh kid, and tipped
each other off. Every now and then
some big twirler would shoot the pin
at Dee's bean and scare him stiff.
They had him ducking and lodging
wild pitches until he couldn't hit the
pipe. But Dee is a game 'un and will
come back. He needs experience"

Stovall took charge of the Cleve.

what did he do? He performed won
ders and had things going in great
shape. In st. Louis he could not sue
coed. In Cleveland he had the mate
rial. In st. Louis he didn't. 1t all
goes to prove that a manager must
have men Of ability and temperament
to bring out his own talents. No
greater manager than Frank Chance
ever lived. A fighter, student Of the
game and great player himself, he al
ways had power over men. But,
aside from bringing little improve
ment to the New York Americans, he
has not been able to emphasize his
managerial powers simply because he
has not got the kind of men under
him that are beet suited to his de-
sires. There are players who can be
driven, and others who can't. Sto-
vail and Chance did we'll with good

ERADICATION OF QUACK GRASS
Badly infested Field Should Be Plowed
From Five to Eight inches Soon
as Crop Is Removed.

CBy ANDREW ROSS. Minnesota Expert
ment Station.)
Where a field is badly infested with
quack grass it should be plowed from
five to eight inches deep as soon as
the hay or grain crop is removed. All
portions of the grass must be turned
under. Within few days the pillow
should be followed by a. disk harrow
with the disks set straight at the first
time over to avoid turning any of the
sod. The disking should be repeated
once or twice a week for six or eight
weeks and occasionally after that I'M
til freezing weather.
Short crop rotations are useful in
keeping Quack grass under control and
when arranged so as to provide an
opportunity to attack the quack grass
at the right time they will permit
eradication of the weed without los
ing the use of the land.
