SPORT DOPE-BOXING
Cal Calls for More Speed-Pirates
Loot Lurid Lou.

'em work on the bases today when
the White Sox meet the st. Louis
Browns for the second game of the
present series.
Any kind of manual labor on the
diamond yesterday was impossible,
but Manager Callahan gave his brain
muscles some work to do, and they
evolved a scheme to beat every other
team in the league. If Cal could only
shift few of his brain muscles to
some of his athletes he's be all right.
The boss wants more speed. He
realizes that if a man fails to hit in
the pinches it is probably because the
opposing pitcher has some fool stuff.
But the manager can't see any ex-
cuse for slow work or suicide on the
paths, such as occurred in the first
game of the present set. He and Kid
Gleason palavered over the matter
yesterday while the rain was falling,
and the kid threatened to run few
bases himself, just to show how the
thing should be done. A banner
crowd would come out to see Gleason
run, especially II a tnree-cOrnered
race could be arranged, with Tom
Needham of the Cubs and Ping Bodie
as the other entries.
Picking today's pitcher today is
purely guesswork, and when we Sc
lect Benz we admit we wouldn't place
a large bunch of change on his start
ing. LANCE is a possibility, Ed Walsh
may be used if it is warm by o'clock,
and Lefty Russell also has chance
of starting his second major league
game. But it is away past Benz's
turn, and he was the pitcher warming
up when the Browns began to ham,

not in today he is pretty good bet
for tomorrow, when George Stovall
plans to use Carl Wielman, his SEN
sational young south-paw. This

ALFALFA MOST VALUABLE CROP.
Per Acre Value Five Times More
Than Ciover-Some Wisconsin
Census Figures Which Talk
for Themselves.

According to the 1910 census Of the
hay crop, the state of Wisconsin grew
$4,000 acres of alfalfa, which averaged
2.S tons per acre for the entire state.
and the average acre value of the
crop was $31.00. During the same
year the combined acreage Of timothy
and clover averaged 1.6 tons per acre,
valued at $14.00. It costs no more to
grow an acre of alfalfa than 1t does
to grow an acre of timothy or clover.
The average cost Of growing an acre
Of clover or timothy is approximately
$1,000. Thus the farmer would clear
$500 per acre in growing these crops,
whereas If he grew alfalfa he would
make a profit of $21.00 per acre, or

HELP THE AGENT.

When you go to the railroad station
with the intention Of boarding train,
purchase your ticket at once. Don't
hang around and wait as if you ex-
pected bargain sale. Another point ;
Have your baggage or express ready at
depot to check or send out at least ten
minutes before train time. Perhaps
you don't know it, but a station
agent is not obliged to perform any OF
these duties for you in period less
than ten minutes before train time,
and if he does do it. it is merely an
act of courtesy towards you. Also
have your change ready for your tick
ct. The railroad company is not OBJ
>liged by law to run general banking
business, and the presentation CT a
five dollar or ten dollar bill for a 15c
I.ro may mark you AS million
rags floating in the-air," but it is not
conducive to the good feeling of the
agent who mas to hunt change from
unwilling store keepers between trains
to have it really for your big bills.
These are only few of the things
that { public could do to help the
depot agents of the land, but these
points involve period when he is u.s.
ually on the qui vive receiving orders,
and on him at these moments depend
the safety of yourself and many 9th
ers. Therefore give him a chance to
do his work correctly by assisting him
all you can to do 80 in such points as
are mentioned above which are very
easy to do. Get to the station ten or
fifteen minutes before train time with
express or baggage, and if you intend
to board train buy your ticket at
once.

Splendid Work Done by the

HIGDON. Ala, Aug. s7.-The
convention at this place Thursday,

way. The speaking was fine. C. K.

bama, made fine speech on 1.-The

Island Sabbath School, spoke in the
afternoon. He certainly is a fine
speaker and gave us some grand
points. The brass band of BIyant's
Chapel was present and rendered some
fine music. The boys are a jovial lot
and the people certainly appreciated
their music. The Long Island Sab
bath schools infant class sang a most
beautiful song, while each one held a
bouquet of lovely flowers in each hand,
in part of their exercises they knelt
while they sang. 1t certainly made a
beautiful picture.

J. T. Bottomlee, of Whitwell, was at
the convention with his revolving

would be forty eight inches long and
his price would be only $l.0O. Let us

at 1900. The dinner was fine and ev-

ideal and there was excellent order.
There was no drunken men and no
signs of whiskey.

SEQUACHEE VALLEY
FAIR NEAR
Large Number of People Ex'
peCted From Chattanooga
on September II.

SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn, Aug.
25.-As the date of the Sequachee
Valley Fair meet draws near interest
becomes more intense. The manage
ment is putting every foot forward to
make this the banner yeai. Much in
terest is being manifested from one
end of the valley to the other, in fact
from all over the state.
Wednesday, Sept. 10, is Sequachee
Valley Day, Capt. Thomas F. Peck,
state commissioner of agriculture,
will deliver an address on that day.
The farming interest of the valley are
expected to be here to man, in ad-
dition a large delegation of the sons
of the soil are expected from the
mol thern part of jackson county, Ala
bama.
Thursday, Sept. II, is Chattanooga
Day. An extra large delegation is ex-
pected. Arrangements are being made
to entertain something like 800 Chat
tanoogans on this occasion. Many of
the business men of Chattanooga were
originally citizens of Sequachee val
ley, South Pjttsburg being almost a
stepchild of Chattanooga Their bust
ness ties and interests are so closely
welded that they feel duty bound to
give their young neighbor boost in
its endeavor to build up Sequachee
valley, therefore a hearty welcome
awaits the arrival of the Chattanooga
delegation.
Friday, Sept. 10, is set aside as edu-
cational day. State Superintendent of
Public Instruction J. W. Brister will
address the people at the fair ground
on that day. A strong effort is being
put forward to have every school in
Sequachee valley attend in body;
present indications predict they will;
at least 8, 900 school children are ex-
pected on that day.
The races will be better this year
than ever. They are limited to trot-
ting and pacing and are in three class
es: First day, 21.7 pace; $3.50 trot.
Secod day, Q. 90 trot; 9 OF pace. Third
day, 2:25 pace; 2:15 trot. All purses
are for $3.50. Many entries have al
ready been made and several more are
expected.
Two five-mile motor cycle races will
come off each day of the fair. This is
one of the free attractions. A rate of
one fare plus 25 cents has been granted
by the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis railroad from Chattanooga,
Nashville and all intermediate points.
A very low rate has been granted on
all live stock for exhibition at the fair
and the railroad agrees to return all
live stock free of charge. The man
agement is expecting the largest
crowd ever assembled in Sequachee
valley on Chattanooga day.
The track is in first-class condition,
even better than it was last year, and
the entire fence and buildings are be-
ing treated to coat of whitewash. A
rainproof balcony with seating cap
acity of 800 has been added to the la
dies building for the comfort of wom-
en- and children. 49,
