ing for Murphy and that he suddenly
decided to let you loose? .


Charles III. Ebbets, the Brooklyn
magnate, is poring over the. statutes
these days trying to discover some
law whereby he can have James a..
Gilmore, president of the Federal
league, arrested. But Gilmore isn't
worrying.
"If Ebbets wants to have someone
pinched," remarks Mr.. Gilmore, "he
ought to pick out Garry Hermann"
1t all comes about over the Tinker
mix up. Hermann sold Tinker to
Ebbets for $4,000 and Ebbets turned
the check over to Hermann. Accord
ing to Ebbets, Hermann had the
check cashed, pocketed the $4,000
and now refuses to give it back to
Ebbets, although Ebbets never got
value received because "value re-
ceived' thinker by name) jumped to
the eds.
81 think I've got a case against
that Gilmore fellow" asserts Mr.. Eb-
bets. "He went and grabbed off my
property. Tinker was property. l
bought him from Hermann. When
someone takes your rightful property
doesn't that constitute theft? Ger
tainly it does. And l guess I've got
a case against Gilmore. Pm busy
just now figuring out how strong my
case is"
When this was put up to Gilmore, he
grinned, and said:
81 feel awfully sorroy for Ebbets.
From all l know he is pretty nice
fellow. But he needn't figure on hav-
ing me jailed. The fellow he ought
to Jail is Hermann, because Herr
mann sold him something he didn't
own. Tinker was held to the Cincin-
natl club only by the reserve clause
and it is our contention that the re-
serve clause is not legal.
"If those organized baseball people
think they have legal right to a
man through the medium of the re-
serve clause, why don't they go into
court and try to prove it,"

Frank Menke's
Sporting Letter

New York, Feb. 25.-The business
Of laboring for Charles Webb Murphy
of the Cubs may have it's draw back :,
but it also has it's benefits, as is
shown in the cases of Frank Chance,
Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers.
Murphy communicated Chance as
manager and player, remarking at the
same time that Chance was through"
as a player and that Chance never
was such a wonder as a leader-that
the team under him was responsible
for the great showing during the
years Chance was at the helm.
What happened? Well, q half doz
en- teams indulged Immediately in Il
mad scramble for Chances services,
with the result that the Yankees final
ly harpooned him contracting to pay
what is reputed to be the larges sal
ary ever given manager.
Murphy let Tinker go to the Reds
in the fall of 1912 because he figured
Joe was about through as a ball
player. The result was that Joe had
his best year in 1918, batting .318, the
highest he ever compiled, and lead
ing the second sackers in fielding. And
then when Herramnn offered him on
the auction block, Ebbets of Brook
lyn bid $4,000 for him-the record
price offered for ball player.
But Joe pumped to the Feds, and by
so doing assured himself of a three
year salary at $4,000 year-per-
haps the biggest ever paid bail
player.
And then came the Evers episode
Johnny drew down $4,000 year as
manager and player last year-and
thought he was mighty lucky in get
ting that much. But Murphy inject
ed some canning fluid in his system q
couple of weeks ago and the result
was that James Gaffney of the Boston
Braves grabbed Evers off and willing
ly agreed to pay him $4,000 year
just for his services as player, and III
addition gave him bonus of $4,000,
and also agreed to give him additional
bonuses if the Braves finished near
the top?

Murder Scene Is
Offered Rent Free

New York, Feb. 23.-Newlyweds,
here's your chance. Any intrepid young
pair-or old, for the matter of that
not superstitious and without nerves"
can have the use of comfortable
apartment, free Of rent for one year
All they have to do to obtain
domicile gratis, is to live in the
Eighth avenue fiat where Father Hans
Schmidt, sentenced to die in the cleo
trio chair at Sing Sing during the
week of March 23 next, murdered
Anna Aumueller and dismembered her
body.
That seems like a small order to fill,
to find tenant among some five mil
lio1 people, for one little apartment,
but it has stumped some of the best
known firms of Manhattan realty
agents. The explanation is simple
New York is one of the most pro-
vincial towns in America, "rube"
town, to be brutal. New Workers are
primitive and superstitious. In any
middle western city of any size, Chi
cago, Cleveland or ST. Louis for in
stance, the fact that a domestic serv-
ant had been murdered by man in
a four room fiat would soon be forgot
ten and the fiat, if otherwise desir-
able, would be as much in demand as
Iif the tragedy had never happened.
But in New York it is a different
matter. Here, the world, where race,
religion and caste are paramount, the
murder of the Bohemian working girl
by a Bavarian who is also a Roman
Catholic priest, the Schmidt-Aumuel-
ler killing attracted attention entirely
out of keeping with its relative i'm
portance New Workers. quickly lose
the perspective and it is not entirely
their fault. The sensational news
papers, confronted with a dirth of
more important news, "played up" the
Schmidt murder, mendaciously sub
stituting quantity for quality. Schmidt
and the dead girl were pictured in
every possible pose, their past and
future was dug up and portrayed
over countless pages. The result was
that not a man, woman or child in
New York failed to learn every detail,
real and imaginary, of the sordid
murder. New Workers. are heir to all
the primitive superstitions of all the
races that go to make up the con-
glomeration of humanity in the great
est city and consequently not one New
Yorker will have anything to do with
the harmless and perfectly comforta
BILE little apartment where Hans
Schmidt slew and hacked to pieces his
trusting sweetheart, Anna Aumueller.
But real estate agents are practi-
cal men. They have no sentiment and
no superstition, but they know stone
wall of hard and prosaic facts when
they meet one. The particular
agents in charge Of the Eighth avenue
apartment house where Schmidt held
forth as human butcher realize the
necessity of removing from the prem
ises the stigma that popular opinion
attaches to the place by reason of the
gruesome tragedy. They know that to
make the tickle New Workers forget
that the apartment is house of death
to have it occupied for a time. Des-
pairing of persuading any ordinary
rent paying tenants to take the place,
they have offered the apartment rent
free for one year to any family who
will occupy it. The hoodoo must be
exercised.

MILITARISM PREACHERS
Washington, Nov. II. - "Swash-

hurled at American citizens who
preach militarism.
Speaking at a special Thanksgiv-

''The swashbuckling lingo laments
that his country has not copied mill
tarism and is loud in criticism of pol
icies that have kept America at peace
while Europe is writing history with
the sword. 1t is matter which
makes the American people thank
full that we have at the helm at this
time of world crisis a man who has
a full realization of the meaning of
war, who as he said, has "a passion
for peace and whose every action is
an assurance to his people that he
will promote national peace with ma

TENNESSEE SHOOTING CASE
PRACTICALLY CLOSED

Washington, Nov. II. - Although
Turkey has not, through it's grand
Vizier formally, disavowed hostile in
tent in the firing of a shot at the
cruiser Tennessee's launch, the state
and navy department today said they
regarded the incident as practically
closed. The Turkish minister of war
explained to Ambassador Morgenthau
that the shot was fired as a warning
after the launch had apparently not
seen a shore signal advising that the
harbor was mined.
This shot, the war minister says,
was not aimed in the direction of the
launch.
According to the officials at the
state department, Turkeys official
and formal disavowal can be expected
to be along this line, Of necessity it
must be satisfactory to the United
States.

A SOW should never be in market

The shorter the fattening period
the greater the profit from the pen.
The first litter is not always an in

Sheep are not found on enough

are not.
A hog cannot sleep comfortably in
a draft or in wind. He catches cold
very easily.
The Tamsworths are good rustlers
very prolific, and the meat is of the
highest quality.
Keep the salt in sheltered box in
the sheep pasture. Spasmodic sailing
is very dangerous.
Hogs are the cleanest animals or

When lambs are grown rapidly the
quality of the meat is far and away

ENORMOUS LOSS TO DAIRY
FARMER.
Low Moisture Content of Butter is
the Cause.

Fourteen million dollars are annual
ly lost to dairy interests in the United
States through the low moisture con-
tent of butter. The maximum legal
amount is 10 per cent; the average
for the United States is only Ills per
cent An additional 35 per cent
might be added, making the water
content Is per cent, without exceed
ing the legal limit and without dete
rioation in quality of the product.
Now, how can the moisture content of
butter be controlled? There are many
factors influencing moisture content
of butter, but the two most important
are the churning temperature and the
amount of working.
Churning temperature is of funda-
mental importance. During fall and
winter, when moisture content of but
ter is low, temperature of churning
should be as high as is consistent with
securing a product firm enough for
handling Experiments conducted un-
der direction of the writer showed an
increase of two per cent in water CON
tent of butter churned at 20 degrees
F. as compared with so degrees F.
That churned at 50 degrees F. aver
aged 1873 per cent moisture; that at
90 degrees F. averaged l4.4 per cent;
that of 65 degrees F. averaged l4.o
per cent; that at 70 degrees F. aver
aged l57 per cent Churning should
stop when butter granules are the size
of corn grains The temperature OF
wash water should be near that of
buttermilk, although if high churning
temperatures are employed wa
ter few degrees lower tends to firm
butter. Vice versa, in springtime,
when per cent of water in butter ex-
ceeds the legal limit cream should be
churned at as low temperature as pos
sible without prolonging the time of
| churning, thus causing butter to be
salvy.
The amount of working has consid-
cradle influence on per cent of mois-
ture in the finished product. When
butter is worked in absence of water,
moisture content decreases rapidly as
amount of working increases, but if
butter is worked in presence of wa
ter moisture content increases with
amount of working Consequently if
high percentage of water is desired
butter should receive minimum
amount OF working sufficing to distrib
ute salt evenly when the water is pres
ent, but maximum amount of working
if water is present. Care should be
exercised at all times not to overwork
butter. Again, if natural moisture
content of butter is high all water
should be drained away. butter par
tally worked, water drained off and
the working completed.-By A. A.

General Notes.

Very often trees that have passed
through hard winter show no indi-
cations of freezing in the bark, but an
examination may show that the wood
is injured.
Sunlight is the best germ destroyer
known, cleansing the parts of the
house where it shines. 1t also adds
warmth and makes environment more
congenal.
Deep-rooted crops. scuh as alfalfa
and sweet clover, have a tremendous
value in improving soils, to say moth
ing of the nitrogen they store up for
other crops.
Home Improvement can be made
most effectively if the young folks are
taken into confidence and are given
an interest and encouragement to help
with the work.
In the hope of introducing it into
the United States an expert from the
Department of Agriculture has been
sent to Manchuria to get specimens OF
a peach that weighs pound.
The Italian inventor of new steel
windmill which has only five vanes
claims it will withstand the strongest
wind and that it works equally well
in the heaviest and lightest breeze.

Cooling Fresh Milk.

When milk is allowed to cool natur
ally, it will sour in much quicker
time than if cooled after being drawn
from the cow The longer the time
which elapses between the milking
and refrigerating. the shorter will be
the keeping properties of the milk
after it is cooled This is accounted
for by the fact that milk is soured by
bacteria, and they grow in warm milk
at very rapid rate. Milk sours
quickest at a temperature of about oC
degrees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit
but freshly-drawn milk, which is al
100 degrees Fahrenheit, soon fails to
the temperature of the atmosphere.

YARDS AND PARKS FOR THE
BELGIAN HARE,
Ground Should Slope Slightly in Or
der to Obtain Coed Drainage.

A suitable site for a yard or park
for Belgian hares should be slightly
sloping so as to obtain good drain
age when heavy rains come. There
should be tree of some kind in each
separate enclosure, so as to give shade
in the hot summer months, and
would recommend the maple as an
ideal tree for the purpose. OF course
most any kind of tree that has shade
will answer | would not recommend
apple or pear trees for when the fruit
falls the hares might eat too much of
it with serious results. Apples and
pears are not harmful to them if fed
in small quantities.
After laying off your plot for the
yard, procure as much netting as you
will need, and for the outside netting
! would recommend the six foot two
inch mesh, and for the inside inclos-
ures you can use three-foot one inch
mesh. Netting comes in bundles of
$50 feet, with different widths Get
the best on the market, it is the cheap
est in the end Next procure enough
posts, and locust is the best, and they
should be nine feet long by six to
eight inches in diameter. The posts
can be set Is feet apart, 3 feet in the
ground, and if you use the six feet
wide poultry netting it will come to
the tops OF the posts after they arc
set. After you have your posts set,
dig trench exactly where the netting
will go, about one foot deep from the
top. of the ground When you have
stretched your netting, the bottom OF
the netting should go to the bottom of
the trench and stapled there; this is
to keep them from digging out. Young
hares seldom try to, but sometimes
the old ones will make the effort, but
this will stop them. Before the net
ting is stretched the posts should be
braced and leave as many places
for gates as are necessary. After you
have stretched the netting and stapled
it, fill up the trench as level as pos
sible, then have as many feet of one
inch mesh netting to stretch right
along over the two-inch netting. This
netting should be about two feet
wide, and put next to the ground.
This extra netting is to keep the
youngsters in when they are placed
there after they are weaned; also to
keep all enemies out
For the inside Enclosures you will
not need netting over three feet high,
and il you do not intend to put the
real young in il, it can be two-inch
mesh, instead of the one-inch mesh.
After your yard is ready, then pro
cure as many large dry goods boxes
as there are separate Enclosures in
your park About four feet square
is about the thing, and an opening
foot square should be made at the bot
tom of each so as to admit the hares
when it is storming Place one in each
Enclosure, and see that there is a good
roof over it. Constructed as described,
will make an ideal park for the hares,
and they will thrive wonderfully in
such place
Do not understand me tc say that
this kind of yard or park is really
necessary to make the business a sue
cess, but | will say that is very con
venient, and especially where one
does, and especially so in summer
