IR. AUGUST HERMANN now
MI has two major league presi-
dents arrayed against him on
his little proposition to substitute for
the Worlds Series every fall an inter
league schedule, by which every
American League club will play every
National League club a series of eight
games, the worlds champion being
decided as the pennant winner in the
league which comes out on top.
II you have had the patience and
persistence to unravel that Dickens
esque sentence you may be somewhat
impressed with the idea of the august
Mr. August Hermann
We were-at first. And even since
Messrs. Tom Lynch and Ban John
son have declared against it, we are
able to find some points in its favor
MR.. HERRMANN'S plan was to cut
ANl down the playing schedule OF
the two major leagues to about two
thirds of It's present size, and occupy
the time thus saved by putting on an
interleague schedule by which to de-
termine the champion league" The
pennant winner in that league, OF
! course, would be entitled TO the
worlds title.
THE plan of the 64-game schedule
presents certain interesting
points.
Assuming that it was applied TO the
respective league finishes of this sea
| son, we should have the entertaining
spectacle of the mighty Athletics pit
| ted alternately against the Giants and
the lowly Cardinals-and certainly the
ST. Louis bunch wouldn't fare much
worse at the hands of Collins, Baker
&, Co. than did the National champs
on the other hand, the smuggling
Philadelphia Nationals array would
| be encountering the Browns and the
| Yankees, striving to get back for the
| National League some of the points
won for the American by the prowess
of the Athletics.
| And, of course, there would be more
equal strife among the Cubs and the
| Sox, Pirates and Maps, Tigers and
Braves and so on down the roster.
II really would be entertaining. And
for couple of months there would
| be a vast amount Of figuring needed
| to keep up with the Kaleidoscope
shifts in standing, with one whole
| league playing against another.
| n OUBTLESS It would be interest
- ing.
Each club would encounter every
| other club in the rival circuit in eight
games: four on its home grounds, four
on the grounds of the rival league.

vent any Worlds Series repetition of

lar run Of the slab" would have to

Tech supporters for this protest. l
consider it quite a presumption on the
part of whoever started the rumor to

to do with this case one way or the
other.
l can state frankly that l do not know
who entered the protest and every Tech
man will admit that it has never been
the policy of the athletic authorities at
Georgia to protest men, so it seems they
are taking much for granted.
The article also stated that Preas had
been urged to go to Georgia BY me,
which is another mistake, for he was
here but a few minutes while on his
way TO Tech, and 1 merely asked him
where he intended going and did not
mention Georgia to him.

PROPERLY-MADE FLOOD GATE
Device Saves Many Fences From Be- !

Ing the Rainy Seasons.

Now that the season of heavy rains
is at hand the farmers whose fields
are traversed by creeks and rayines
will be subjected to the annoyance OF
having their fences washed out Flood
gates save many fences from being
put out of commission. but unless they
are properly made and hung they are
apt to come TO disaster during some
violent food when the streams are
running swift and carrying wreckage,
trees limbs. etc. The flood gate should
be built for strength and should be
made long enough to reach out a good
distance on each side of the creek or
ravine. The timber used in its con-
struction should be heavy-unfinishe
boards are the best. The frame
should be made of 2xS. The other
lumber-the boards which go across
the frame-should be one inch thick
and twelve wide. Use spikes and ten
penny nails. The best way is to bolt

Alluring robes in delicately colored

that nowhere is there an atom TOO

opened at the right side and drawn in
a point to that shoulder, while the
other side is caught under the left
arm. The entire lower section is
swung from deep yoke of white lace
whose neck is drawn taut by a rib

Caldwell was no hero; he was Just

his summer vacation at Cape Cod, In
the village where the little schoolmis-

old family, and had settled IN Mas

sprang up between Miss th1abeth

Good Flood Gate.

Iowa Homestead After the gate is
made it should be hung securely. II
there are no trees in line with the
fence. or near enough to make their
use permissible, poles must be set. A
good, heavy pole should be selected.
Set 1t as deep as possible. To be of
any service it should be set in con-
crete. Two poles SO set are sufficient
TO swing a gate. If dirt is stamped
around the poles the tapping water
will soften it and the pole will soon
fall over or be washed out. Brace the
poles we'll with wires which should be
attached to the top. then tied to sew
eral surrounding trees. II there are
no trees the wires can be pegged
down. The gate is suspended by iron
hasps TO a wire cable stretched be-
tween the two posts. A dozen strands
OF heavy telephone wire twisted to-
gether makes good one. When it is
desirable to fence against hogs light
lumber can be nailed to the bottom
of the gate to fill up the opening at
the bottom if there should be one.

SPEEDY REMEDY FOR BL0AT

mails were down on their knees. AS
soon as the animal is known to be
affected get a pail of cold water and
pour it slowly over the distended
sides of the animal and along the
backbone. Repeat a few minutes
later.
Bloat is caused by a moist steam OF
vapor generated from the green, wet
stuff in the animals paunch, aided
by the natural heat of the animals
body The cold water quickly lowers
the temperature, causing the steam
to condense and form water, which
then passes of by way of the bowels

WORK LATE POTATOES
Eternal Vigilance Is Price of Sub
StantiaI Yield.
lmperativeIy Necessary to Maintain
Dirt or Dust Mulch to Prevent
Needless Waste of Moisture
by Evaporation.

During July and August the right
kind of work must be given the late
potatoes regularly, for eternal vigi-
lance in the potato patch is the price
of a good yield OF tubers. If they
are properly looked after they will
clean in the rows, with hardly
weed in hills.
AS soon as the plants show in rows
across a field start the cultiyator and
set the teeth to run four or five
inches deep the first time over the
ground This loosens up the COM
pacted soil and gives the tiny rootlets
a better chance to penetrate between
the soil particles.
From then maintain dirt or dust
mulch in between the rows and
around the hills. This is imperative
Iy necessary to prevent the needless
waste of moisture by evaporation. To
check this the dirt mulch acts as
blanket by cutting off the multitudes
or little holes which appear through
the crust and through which the sun
pumps the water out very rapidly.
IL is a puzzle sometimes to know
Just what is the best tool to use at
all times in cultivating potatoes
through the growing season. The
horse weeder is one that may be used
at certain times in the potato field
to alternate with the spring-toothed
cultiyator, especially when the pota-
toes are planted in drills.
1t levels the ground and destroys
a multitude OF weeds. Then for a few
days the cultivator takes hold and
does better work than it would II the
teeth followed right in the same
teeth tracks as before.
The weeder sometimes does more
damage than good, if used improperly.

times caused by milk that is exces-

low in butter fat is usually better for
young calves. Indigestion in older
calves is usually due to unclean rhilk
