season, eight in number. About the only
explanation that can be given for Falk-
enbergs remarkable success is the fact
that he has gained control of the ball.
1t used to be his failing that he could not
put the ball where he wanted to, and as
result he was not successful. Now he
has as good control as any pitcher in
the league. He does not possess a lot of
speed, but he has fade-away ball which
battles most batters Falkenberg Is not
a pitcher of the strike-out variety. He
allows the batters to hit, but 1t is seldom
that the ball is hit hard. Most of the
time the batter fails to get good hold
of the sphere and easy chances are offer
ed to the felders.
One reason which is given for the nu-
merous complaints which are being made
against the umpires is that there have
been an unusual number of close plays
this season. But this is hardly a good
excuse for the reason that most Of the
errors the umpires have made have been
on plays that did not require abnormal
eyesight or judgment to decide. The fact
Of the matter seems to be that none of
the young crop of officials is quite
up to the standard, and the shortcomings
have an effect on the veterans who work
with them, thus bringing about very
unsatisfactory condition. But the fact
remains that for some reason or other
the umpiring in the American League
this season has been far below that of
former seasons.
Charley Dooin's PhilIies are doing this
year what was expected of them for
several seasons before. and it would not
be at all surprising if they continued
to play as they have and land the
National League pennant. Incidentally.
Doom is proving himself a capable
leader. Not handicapped by interference
from the club president, and being given
chance to run the team as he sees
fit, he is getting the results which the
strength of his team warranted several
years ago.

A PROBLEM SOLVED
Punfa Gorda TO Have Twenfy.Four
Hour Electric Service

A plan has been practically
agreed upon which will give Punts
Gorda greatly improved electric
light service and will also give
current for other purposes. 1t
will be twenty-four hour service,
such as is enjoyed by larger towns,
and will meet every requirement.
for years to come.
The lighting problem is one the
town council has been trying to
work out for many months, the
present plant being inadequate to
the growing needs of the city. 1t
was at first thought advisable TO
put in a new and larger plant, but
this would put the town greatly in
debt and then it could only be
operated for night service.
A very fair proposition has been
made by the Southern Utilities
Company, owners of the Punta
Gorda Ice Co., whereby under a
ten year contract they will put in
a plant and deliver electricity on
the city's wires at a fixed or slid
ing rate that will permit of the
towns controlling aud distribut-
ing the currentat a rate that will
give margin for meeting all ex-
penses. 1t will enable the city
council to work out q plan that
will give fine lighting system at
a minimum of cost.
1t seems to be happy solution
Of a difficult problem and it is be-
lieved that it will give general sat-
isfaction. 1t will be possibly two
months before the change can be
made and service commenced, but
before winter Punta Gorda will be
one of the best lighted towns in
Florida.

SOUTHERN FARMERS
Warned Not 10 Sell Cattle - The
Danger that is Fofeseen

Grave warning to the Southern
States, especially Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Georgia and
Florida, against the wholesale ex.
portation of their cattle IL contain
ed in special statement issued by
the United States bureau of ami
NAL industry of the department. of
agriculture.
''In the past twelve months, !"
says the statement, ''buyers from
the middle west have taken from
that district thousands of animals,
many of which 60 to the slaughter
house when they should be retain
ed for breeding purposes.
"Some of the people of the
South" says the bureau, ''seem
glad that these cattle are being
shipped out as the number of scrub
cattle is being reduced and the
South will get better cattle as the
result. They do not consider that
if the shortage of cattle is such as
to cause buyers to come from the
far west to buy these scrub cattle
for breeding purposes, the chances
of the Southern farmer re-flling
their pastures with good cattle are
indeed small, for where are these
good breeding cattle to come from
at a reasonable price2"
The department experts point
out that the South il especially
adapted to the raising of cattle,
because of the long grazing season,
the mild winters and the great
variety of pasturage. For that
reason it has made u special ap-
peal to the Southern farmers to
retain their breeding herds.
Several shipments of cattle have
been made out of the State recent
ly from Kissimmee, Gainesville,
Ocala, Jacksonville, Tallahassee
and other points. They have gone
by trainload probably no less than
5000 having been shipped.
All of these were first run
through dipping watts in order to
kill the ticks without which they
could'not be shipped into non-tick
infested territory. of course.
