The birth rate is approximately So
per cent, but in we'll managed floeks
this has risen on occasions as high
as 100 per cent. Since the kids are
not hardy, it is obvious that this
means skill and industry during the
breeding season. The best methods
OF caring for the flock at this time
are discussed in some detail in the
new bulletin. Otherwise the man
aeement of Angoras does not differ
greatly from that of sheep.
While the Angora goat needs at
tention it is adaptable and as far as
temperature is concerned should
flourish in any part of the United
States. In Montana the flocks face
the heavy snowfalls with equanim-
ity as long as dry place is provided
for them at night and though the
heat in the Southwest frequently
makes it necessary to shear twice a
year in order to prevent shedding, it
does not otherwise affect the health
of the flocks. Dampness, however,
is more injurious than either cold or
heat. High land is the native home
of all goats and they invariably seek
it when left to themselves. Pure
water is also an essential.
Otherwise the Angora is not par
ticular. 1t will feed with cattle and
sheep, and, though in some danger
Of being kicked, with horses also. AS
a matter of fact, however, the goat
prefers a certain amount of rough
pasture and is particularly happy
when clearing up brush land. There
is one instance of flock of 500 be-
ing allowed free grazing in Cali
fornia forest reserve in order to keep
the strips of cleared land, known as
fire breaks, free from weeds and
vegetation. Settlers in the North
west find the Angora most service
able in browsing off the brush on
their new lands, and one railway
company purchased a flock to keep
its right-of-way clear and attractive.
On very rough land the danger of in
jury to the fleece must, however, be
kept in mind.
AS has already been said, the An
CORA can be bred sufficiently pure

PRINTERS VS.. BARRIERS

The local typestiekers have chal-
lenged the BARRIERS for a baseball
game to be played on the city dia-
mond next Sunday afternoon at 1880
o'clock, and that there is something
out of the ordinary in store for the
fans who witness the contest is as
sured. Joe Dew, the ex-big Lacquer,
will be on the slab for the whisker
pullers, and Charlie Wenham will
perform in a like capacity for the
printers. All disputes will be left to
an arbitration board consisting of
Mayor Shaw, Marshal Butler and
City Attorney lamar who have
promised fairness to all concerned.
No razors will be allowed on the
field.
Previous to this game the Boosters
will meet team from the college in
a seven-inning contest. The first
game will start at 2 o'clock sharp.

FORMER PULLMAN
COUPLE welded
William G. Lipsett and Miss Flora
Cline United in Marriage at Bed
ford, Indiana, May @

William c.. Lippsett and Miss
Flora Cline were united in marriage
at Bedford, Indiana, Wednesday,
May 6. Both the young people are
we'll and favorably known in Pull
man, where Mr. Upset was formerly
engaged in the horseshoeing bust
ness. Miss Cline was employed as
stenographer at the college and
was prominent in society circles.
Dan Cupid received a severe jolt
when the county clerk at Bedford re-
fused to grant license, the law re-
quiring that the bride be a resident
of that county. He arose to the
occasion manfully, however, and the
young couple journeyed to Louis
ville,, where the license was secured
without further mishap. Concerning
a reception given in honor of Miss
Cline the day previous to the we'd
ding by Mrs. Charles j. Jones, form
erly of this city, the Bedford Daily
Mail has the following:
Mrs. Charles j. Jones delightfully."-
entertained for her guest, Miss Flora
Cline of Pullman, Washington, Tues
day afternoon at her apartments on
West Fifteenth street.
"The rooms were beautifully dec
GRATED with smilax and wild crab
apple blossoms. Pink hooded candles
in crystal holders shed their mellow
radiance. The afternoon was spent
in the needlework, each guest hem
ming and embroidering a dainty tea
towel for Miss Cline, a May bride.
"A delicious lunch was served,
carrying out the colors of pink and
pale green in the menu.

increasing steadily. Formerly the
use of mohair depended so largely
upon the prevailing fashion that its
price varied widely from year to
year. This condition, however, is
rapidly changing as new uses for mo-
hair are continually found, from au-
tomobile tops and table covers to
dress goods and curled false hair,
and today the grower is assured of a
reasonably steady market. The price
of course varies with the quality, the
very best fleeces bringing on an av-
erage from AZ to 55 cents a pound.
The weight of a fleece has a very
wide range, but in 1909 the average
for Oregon was found to be 81
pounds and for Texas 1856. On &C
count of the greater heat, however,
and the damage of shedding, An
goras in the Southwest are frequent
ly shorn twice year--a fact which
must be taken into consideration in
all calculations.
This practice of clipping twice a
year is in many ways a drawback to
the industry since it tends to lower
the average grade of American
mohair. Mohair as good as any, can
be and is grown in this country, but
tho average quality is not today con-
sidered to be as good as the foreign.
About 100000 pounds are annu-
ally imported. Ordinarily this is
blended and spun with the domestic
product Six inches is the shortest
length of fleece usually desired and,
because of shearing twice a year,
much Texas and New Mexico mohair
falls below this standard Where the
fleece is allowed to grow for II
months, the average length is 10 in
ches and in the best flocks it is not
unusual to get Is to 20 inches.
Romeo, the sweepstakes buck at the
I'll Paso show in 1910, is an example
of what is possible. His fleese
weighed IS pounds, measured 2O%
inches in length and sold for Sis.
Such fleece is not, of course the pro-
duct of ordinary commercial condi-
tions. 1t implies a considerable
amount of care and personal atten-
ton.

for practical purposes from the stock
Already in this country, and there is
no need of further importations for
breeding purposes. Some years ago,
however, this was not believed to be
the case and in 1881 the Sultan of
Turkey endeavored to preserve for
his dominions the monopoly OF the
mohair trade by prohibiting the ex-
portation of the live animals. His
example was followed by South At
RIGA, but it was too late. Some of
the best blood was already in
America and today other countries
are buying of us, flocks having been
shipped recently to Brazil and the
Argentine.
Various associations have already
been formed for the development OF
the industry in this country and the
quantity of the annual product is in
creasing rapidly. In 1913 it is esti-
mated that 100000 pounds of mo-
hair were grown in the United
States. Fuller details of the manage
ment and care of flocks are to be
found in Farmers Bulletin 573, THE
Angora Goat" which will be sent free
on application to the Department Of
Agriculture.

ANGORA GOATS

The raising of angora goats in the
United States is now a demonstrated
success according, to a report Just
published by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture under the
title, The Angora Goat" Farm ers
Bulletin 573. The industry, says the
bulletin, is indeed so we'll established
here that growers need not be incon
yenienced by the action of South
Africa in prohibiting the expectation
OF Angoras, for the quantity of good
blood in this country is already suf-
tlcient to meet all requirements. In
the opinion of experts the best
American fleeces now equal any
grown in South Africa or Asia
Minor, the original home of the An
CORA.
although nearly every state in the
Union now possesses its flocks. the
Southwest and the Northwest are es-
peeially well adapted to the industry,
IN particular the large areas recently
logged-off in the Northwest. There
the Angora not only thrives himself
but helps to clear away the brush
which If allowed to grow unchecked
might easily become a dangerou,
lire trap. Thus it is often said that
the Angora works and pays for it,
board at the same time.
1t is paying more and more, fol

PH1LL1Es IN HOT FIST FIGHT
Pitcher Marshall Gives Magee Black
Eve After Disobeying Captain.

PHILADELPHIA, April IA fist fight
with bare knuckles between Capt. Sher-
wood Magee and Pitcher Cy Marshall of
the Phillies enlivened proceedings in the
clubhouse of the team yesterday. As
result of the scrap Magee got black
eve, but Marshall was not seriously dam
aged. The affair occurred in the main
room of the clubhouse.
Marshall was engaged in a game of
pool with another player when Magee
came out of the dressing room. Sher-
wood, who recently was appointed cap
tain of the team. ordered Marshall to
stop the game and go out and practice
base ball. Marshall resented Magees re-
marks, and it is reported that the men
soon were calling each other names. The
argument became spirited and finally
punching began. Other players rushed
in and separated the combatants.
Marshall shortly afterward left the
clubhouse and it is reported that he in
tended to quit the club. Business Man
ager Shettsline said, however. that this
rumor was untrue and that Marshall was
willing to let matters remain as they
are.
Manager Doom said Magee was right in
the argument Sherwood was appoint
ed captain of the team and as such was
perfectly right in telling Marshall to go
out and practice. 1 intend to back up
Magee in the matter" said the man

Of the Providence team. and in his time
one Of the greatest pitchers that the
game eyer developed, remarked TO the
writer:
..There is no doubt in my mind that
Shaw will make wonderful pitcher in
due time. if he doesn't show this sea
son, and ! see no reason why he should
not. | never saw a youngster work as
much like Walter johnson as he does
and he has almost as much speed. Griff' $
team looks impressive, and if it gets
away Well, and has its share of luck. it
would not surprise me III the least to see
it finish on top this year
While the general showing of Griffith's
pitchers has been most encouraging.
there is no doubt that all of them Will
work better when the weather gets
warmer. Engel. CaShon and Shaw are
greatly hampe-cd by the cold. and Wal
ter Johnson. too is far from being at his
best when it is not warm. Boehling is
not as much affected by the chilly con-
ditions as are the others. and this may
cause Griffith to choose him for the first
game today.
Griffith predicts some great pitching for
his team when the real summer weather
sets in, and if this comes up TO expecta-
tons few runs will be scored on the
locals this year
Eddie Foster is of the opinion that
John Henry will prove one of the best
that Henry has undergone a change of
style in batting which is sure to make
him most formidable man at the bat
That Henry is hitting better now than he
has ever before is shown by the scores
of the games in which he has PLAYED He
is taking much better swing than pre-
viously. and is meeting the ball most eff
fectively.
When Walter johnson was asked this
morning if he was ready to pitch the
game this afternoon he replied in his
characteristic way:
Il am ready. | think. My arm feels
fine and / believe | could go the route
and hold my own. But, of course it is
all up to Griffith to say the word. He is
the best judge as to who should pitch.
and if he thinks one of the other boys
can turn the trick | am willing to wait
until my turn comes.
Johnson never creates the impression
that he thinks himself better than ary
one else. He is the most modest man en-
the team, and one who knows nothia z
other than to follow instructions.
There is some danger of the Nationals
going into today's game overconfident
The players seem to believe that beat
ing the Red Sex will not be an easy
task. though they promise to make it
most decisive
The fact that Speaker is not going at
his best this spring, and that Wagner is
not playing short, seems to have added
encouragement. 1t is, of COURSE true
that in former years Wagner has been
one of the strongest points on the Bos-
ton team. Scott, youngs.,r, Who is
filling his place. is said 90 be a ;reat
little ball player, but, of course. he is nc:
expected to put up as strong a game as
Wagner would.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 14.-The
Athletics first championship for 1914
was captured at Shibe Park in the
tenth inning of the final interleague
game with the Phillies, when Pitcher
Herb Pennock scored the deciding run
by wild but successful dash from
third base to the plate when Murphy
grounded to Lobert. Pennock slid over
the rubber as Burns caught Lobert's
quick return and as Umpire Tommy
Keenan, a local umpire, called Pennock
safe, the verdict for the tilt came the
Athletics way.
The game was a close fight from the
start with the four pitchers working
in midsummer form. Houck worked the
lowing five hits and no runs. Pennock
succeeded Houck in the sixth, and
though he was scored upor, he was
found for only three hits one of
which should have been put-out
This hit really gave the Phillies their

to get the ball, allowed it to drop at his

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Philadelphia
National League club filed two suits here
in the United States district court against

with the Philadelphia clubs players.
The first suit named as defendants
Charles Weeghman. William NJ. Walker,
James A. Gilmore, Joseph Tinker, Robert
B. Ward and Walter F. Ward. the two
latter of Brooklyn. 1t asked for an in
junction restraining the defendants from
alleged attempts to disrupt the Phladel-
phia National League club by hiring
away from it Players Seaton, Brennan,
Killifer, Doolan and Knabe. The suit
prayed that the Federal Leaguers be re-
strained from attempting to get these
players or from other alleged attempts to
interfere with the affairs of the Phila-
delphia Nationals.
Only the praecipe was filed in the dam
age suit. 1t asked for $4,000 damages
from the same defendants.
In Marshals' Hands.
summons were issued IOF edCn OIL the
defendants named and were placed in the
hands Of marshals, who expected to serve
them on all the defendants in this juris-
diction. 1t was expected that prelimi-
nary hearing might be obtained tomor-
row.
The petition for a restraining order re-
cites alleged ills that have been suffered
by the Philadelphia club because of the
activities of the Federal League, assert
ing that the new league, well knowing of
the existence of contracts between the
complainants and each of the ball play
ers, conspired to induce these ball play
ers to leave complainant's service.
In furtherance of the conspiracy the
defendants offered large pecuniary re-
ward to the players. and succeeded in
indusing Seaton, knabe, Doolan and
Brennan to withdraw from the complain
ants service and join the defendants
Doolan had agreed with the complainant
on the amount of salary for 1914."
Cites KlI4lfer Case.
The bill tells of the recent suit at
Grand Rapids over the services of Will
liam Killifer. and adds:
THE motion of the complainants Gn
the Killifer case, who were officials of
the Chicago team of the Federal League
for temporary injunction was over
ruled. but the bill is still pending.
Pending the disposition of said
motion for an injunction against KILL
fer) the defendants made divers public
threats and announcements TO the effect
that if the motion was overruled the de-
PENDANTS would renew their efforts to in
duce players to quit the service of the
complanants.
1t is believed that the defendants will
act in accordance with their announce
ment, and that unless restrained they
will continue to Interfere with the
business of the complainants by tamper-
ing with its employees"
The petition for restraint was signed
by William F. Baker. president of the
Philadelphia club. 1t is said that Fed
