label is worthless unless it always
stands for tested, inspected, and pure

of seed bearing the Wisconsin label
would go far toward discrediting
Badger seed growers. But under
proper restrictions the label may
have very general and effective use,
as the trade name of vast and pros
porous company comprising the seed
growers of Wisconsin.

Young Cuckoos Are Jealous.

The English cuckoo, like the Ameri-
can cowbird, leaves it's single egg n
the nests of birds much smaller than
itself, like the hedge sparrow, the pied
Wagtail and the Meadow pipit. When
the young cuckoo-a veritable giant in
comparison with it's nestmates-is a
few days old, it pushes it's companions
out of the nest and thus becomes the
sole object of the care of it's tiny fos-
ter parents.

Show yard accomplishments reflect

Ruby shows that type and conforma-

Affixed to sacks of pure-bred seed
grains, this little label is becoming
familiar to farmers throughout the
United States and to some in certain
foreign countries. It stands for seed
purity and quality.
Merit has, of course, been the chief
factor in building a reputation for
Wisconsin grains. And the state label
serves as the trade-name for the
products of state just as the pic
ture of a colored chef attracts atten-

It has been made to stand for quail

JOE TINKER WINS PROTEST
Buffalo Player Ran to Bench Instead
of Keeping on Base Line-Game
to Be Played Over.

Manager Joe Tinkers protest of the
Chicago-Buffalo game of May IA indi-
Gates that some rich stuff is being
pulled off in the Federal league, even
SURPRISING Clyde Goodwin's feat of
stealing third with the bases full. Tin
ker claims that a Buffalo batter ran
back to the players bench after hit
ting ball, and later, seeing that the
Chicago players did not make play
at first base on the hit, ran out to the
base again. The rules, argued Tinker,
require the base runner to stay on the
base lines while running to first base.
Had the Buffalo man been declared
put the Chicago manager claims the
winning run would not have been
scored. President Gilmore decided with
Tinker and the game will be played
over.

seldom fails to beat one to the bag
when he catches the third sacker play
ing back in his regular position.
The young man played the outfeld
for Peoria in the Three l league last
year and batted 1862 in III games. He
tied for third place in the league with
Flanagan of Decatur. These two
practically led the league. The only
two men ahead of them were Kaylor
Of Danville, who batted 800, but played
in only II games, and Kommers OF
Springfield, now with st. Louis Feds,
who batted 1855 in 60 games.
During the season with Peoria,
which was a tail end ball club, finish
ing absolutely last, Flack stole AZ
bases and led the league in thievery,
which was rather a marvellous per-
Torrance on such club. 1t was his
great speed that enabled him to estab-
lish this mark. In the III games
played Max got 1877 hits for total of
2O8 bases. He bagged 26 doubles and
13 triples, but failed to draw homer.
Flack is twenty-three years of age
and his home is in East St. Louis. He
has been playing ball only two years
and Manager Tinker predicts that with
another years training in fast COM
pany this young man will be one OF
the sensations of the game.

STORIES AID THE MANAGERS
Miller Higgins Is Having His First
Real Chance With ST. Louis
Cardinals This Season.

If this thing keeps up, managers of
major league teams that are in the rut
may be going around to the newspaper
boys and the other professional goat
getters, pleading with them to start
campaigns for their ,beheading. Take
the case of Hank O'Day. The pink
sheets no sooner began to swing the
ak for him than his team started on a
winning streak. Likewise Miller Hug
gins AS soon as the headlines an
nounced that he was to be decapitated
his team started on squirt such as
Cardinals have not enjoyed for years.
The suggestion is offered George Stall
ings. If he can coax Boston scribes
to quit trying to reassure the public
and have them denounce him as an
impossibility as a team manager the
lowly Braves may climb into the first
division. But the subject of this
brochure is Miller Higgins, the tiny
manager of the Cardinals. He is get
ting his first real chance this season
and look at what he is doing. Last
year he took a disorganized team,
with a considerable portion of its
membership sulking on him. No man
ager can win with sulkers on his team.
Higgins cleared his decks in a trade
that was all to his advantage. He de-
veloped young pitcher or two, and

MAX FLACk IS FAST
plMINuTIvE FED oUTFlELDER IS
SECOND TY COBB.
Ills Ability to Beat Out Bunts Has
Surprised Many Pitchers of In
dependent League-He Is Also
Rated as Hard Hitter.

Max Flack, the diminutive outfeld-
er for the Chicago Feds, is looked
upon by nearly all of the clubs OF
the new organization as the fastest
man in the league, writes John o. Seys
in the Chicago Daily News. His abil-
ity to beat out bunts has caused sur
prise for many pitchers and third
basemen, who, upon fielding the ball
clearly, found Flack had reached the
initial bag.
Macmillan is built much on the
lines of Tommy Leach Of the Cubs,
although he is a left-handed batter,
while Tommy hits naturally.
In the outer garden Flack's speed
has carried him under many hard hit
balls which with a slower man in the
left park would have gone for long
hits. He also has a marvelously good
left arm, and has stopped half dozen
runners at the plate who have tried
to score on short hits or fly balls. Max
has a way of setting himself when
ever he grabs a fly, especially If there
is a runner on third waiting to take a
chance of scoring after the ball is
caught.
This young athlete is a place hit
ter. Max's favorite spot is just over
the head of the second baseman. He
sometimes drops the ball out of the
reach of the right fielder and this en-
ables Max to take two bases. Seventy
five per cent of the singles Max has
made have been between first and sec
ond bases. On the bunts which he
beat out every one of them went either
down the third base line or between
