NEW YORK-Hal Chase, the most
brilliant fielding, perhaps the most
alert-minded, quickest thinking first
baseman in big league baseball today,
was roundiy hooted during most of

and the Philadelphia Athletics.

weeks and seasons before he had been

The answer? Well, it is wide.

about wherever fans congregate, that
Chase, under the management OF
Frank Chance, has during the season
|of 1913 been "dogging it,; that he
hasn't been tTying!" that he has
just been blowing along on the
wind"
This particular game-considering
both the plays of chase and the jeer-
ing of the fans who used to adore him
seemed to help confirm the recent
rumors that he is to be traded, or
sold, or got rid of in some advanta-
geous manner 1t is undoubtedly the
fact that he hasn't been worth his
salt and it's some highclass salt
TO the club this year.
In the fourth inning Baker of the
Athletics was on third and Mclnnis
ON first. They started double steal.

ney, devoted all his attention to Nc

In the Athletics ninth inning Frank
Baker, a notorious rightfield hitter
came UP with three on bases and
none out. Chlse, instead of playing
toward right for Baker, played away

had Chase been in position, should

TEN MEN sign
Up WITH GREEN

With the withdrawal of Henry
Chillingworth, and the inability of
bill" Inman to join Guy w. Green's
transforming bayeballers, the pro-
posed mainland trip received a severe
set back. Ten men have signed up
with Green, but they hardly form a
representative Hawaiian team. and
can not be compared in playing
strength to the All-Chinese, or, in
fact, to any of the Oahu league
teams, with the possible exception Of
the Asahis. The departure of this ag-
gregation will make no difference in
the Oahu league playing schedule
In connection with the financial end
of the trip, Green yesterday pur-
chased ten round-trip tickets from Hp-
nolhlu to San Francisco, which will
be distributed among those players
who have signed up to take the trip.
Green also has expressed a willing
ness to put up cash guarantee for
the return of members.
The list of players who will leave
for the Coast on May 81 has been
completed. and includes Edwin, VIII
liam and Alec Desha;; Edward Hama
kua, A. Franco, William Hampton,
Alec Asam, G.. Moriyama, Edwin Fer
nandez and William Opunui.
William Inman, the crack Punahou
pitcher, will be unable to make the
trip on account of the fact that the
regents of Oahu College have refused
to grant him a diploma If he leaves
at this time. William may join the
team on the mainland after the close
of school Green stated this morning
that no game schedule had been ar
ranged but that the team would go
direct to Nebraska and from there

AS a recompense for their work,

SCOTT
Was BATTED OUT

Pitcher Scott of X Company, the
twirler whose playing and pitching IN
the uniform of the p. A. C. at Athletic
Park last Sunday delighted the Homo
lulu fans, was literally knocked out OF
the box by the hard-hitting team OF r
Company in the second inning OF the
second game of the double-header here
last Tuesday. The chances are that
Scott was quite as right yesterday
as he was Sunday, but there is prob
ably no pitcher on the island, not ex-
cepting Barney Joy or the artillery
SALESMAN Lawson, who can stand
against the class of hitting that Scho-
field Barracks fans are witnessing
these days in the inter-company games
of the 18th infantry and the games of
the post series. With the next ap-
pearance of any of the regimental
teams i'm Honolulu, the city fans may
cheerfully. pay their money with the
assurance of fast and violent eXhi-
bition of stick work when they pass in
the gate.
In the other game between ]. Com
pany and ii Company, Lowe, the heady
pitcher who has been so uniformly ef-
fective throughout the series hereto
fore. was touched up by the l. Com
pany bunch of sluggers, headed by
Hollingsworth, for five hits in each OF
the first two innings, while II Com
pany in revenge and to show how gen.

Trained Immigrant Farmers.


 The mere increase in rural pop
 ulation partly explains that increase
 in land values, but not entirely. The
 character of the new population has
 still more to do with it. The state
 is receiving immigrant farmers
 trained to the advantages of the great principle of diversification. There is no denying that until very recently Arkansas has been essen tially a "one-crop" state. Her farmers have depended largely up- on the production of cotton and have been content to let it absorb them even to the exclusion of the production of foodstuffs for their own table. The cotton has gone to consuming markets outside the state, and food products-packing house products, flour, canned stuff, vegetables, and almost the whole list-have come in from other states. That has resulted, of course, in keeping Arkansas cash at low ebb. So lately as 1900 the states total bank deposits aggre- gated in round numbers only ST. 100000. Tn 1910 these deposits had increased to an aggregate of ST. 100000, and in 1911 to S47,000,000
 The gross sum is not astonishing
 but the rate of increase is signifl- cant. It is the new farmer who has been for the most part responsible for this. He is the man who has
 brought some money into the state with him, and he is the man wise enough to make his farm yield the foodstuffs actually consumed or | the farm, so that the money got

decrease of i.7 per cent; Indiana a decrease of 2.9 per cent; Iowa a de- crease of 5.1 per cent; Illinois de- crease of 4.6 per cent; Missouri a decrease of 2.7 per cent, while Ar kansas shows an increase of 20.l per cent.
 Let there be no misunderstand- ing. In gross figures covering these points, Arkansas makes a rel atively poor showing for the reason that in 1910 only 2i per cent of her total land area was improved, whereas Iowa had 95.l per cent im- proved; Ohio, 92.5 per cent; Indi- ana, 92,3 per cent; Illinois, 90.7 fer cent.
 All right. Now swear I'm done with this mess of figures.
 But what's the answer? What am I trying to ge. at? I'll tell you exactly.
 No More Arkansas StagnatiOn.
 I want you to understand Hat that familiar old theory of stagna- ton in Arkansas doesn't hold good any longer. We have been guilty in the old time guilty as you like to say; but that time is past. The state is stirring with new life vigorous, efficient. productive life. I have dwelt al length upon the matter of farm industry because, as it needs no argument of mine to convince you, agricultural sound ness is at the very bottom of all sound industrial development in a state. In this Arkansas shines. In her century of history she has nev- CT known a crop failure. Arkansas figures now, in an in- dustrial way, chiefly as a producer of raw materials, not of finished products. Only go per cent of her people are employed in manufac- lures. Producing the highest grade of cotton, she has no cotton mills producing an enormous quantity oi lumber, she has almost no wood working plants; producing live stock at less cost than is possible in the upper Mississippi valley, sht is just now establishing her frs packing plants. That holds gooC over the whole range of possibili- ties.
 What we want is that you may get to know Arkansas as she is not through the old and outworr traditions, but as she is today awakening, strong, ready for grea action. l shall have done my worl if l have made some of you believe that Arkansas is worth looking into

Big Returns From Potatoes.


 The potato farmer, growing two crops in succession on his land, shows the lowest possible produc- tiOn cost. I have been over two sets of books kept by experienced potato growers, which showed a production cost of only s cents per bushel, and a net profit per acre of a little more than $265.
 Under Arkansas conditions rice is produced at a lower cost than in any other rice district in the world The crops of 1905-6 showed an av- craze cost of approximately 2S cents per bushel. Just by way of comparison, note that in Japan the cost per bushel to the Japanese farmer is approximately Si.25. There are several million acres of undeveloped rice lands in that low CT Mississippi district; and pres entity we'll have that canal through Panama. The Orient never has enough rice Need one be the sev- enth son of a seventh son to see in- to the future of this industry?
 Perhaps I am wearying you with this accumulation of figures; but permit me just one more of these comparative statements. The cen sus report for 1910 shows that in that year, in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa the percentage of total land area included in farms has de- clined, as compared with 1900. In Iowa there was an actual decrease in the percentage of total land area improved. The margins of differ ence are small, but there they are. Without comment of mine, you who tave been in close touch with things up here will understand the cause of that decline. In Arkansas in all of these items there was a marked improvement in those ten years.
 Number of Farms Increase in Ar
 kansas.
 In number of all farms for the period of 1900 to 1910 Ohio showed s
