Please publish in Your Sunday pink
sheet the answer to the following: There
is man third. one out and two
strikes on the batter. On the next ball
pitched the haserunner starts to steal
which is caught by the catcher. Can the
runner score on this play, if not tagged
cut Thanking you in advance I am.
Yours truly. r. r. JONES.
Answer-Yes.
Sporting Editor Star:
To settle bet please answer the fol-
lowing: (a) A bets p that the Nationals
are two games ahead of Detroit B bets
that Nationals are less than two games
ahead. Nationals prove to be more than
two games ahead. No reference having
been made to more than two claims
that A loses bet. because Nationals were
more than two games ahead Who
wins?
(b) How many points determine a full
game? L. G. and H. F.
Answer-The tacit understanding prob
ably was that A was betting the Ma
tionals were at least two games ahead,
while B claimed they were not that
much in front. If this was the case, A
wins. The runlber of points in the per
centage column that represent full
game vary. according to the number of
games played. the greater the number of
games the smaller the number of points
required to represent a game.

~ VIII YOU kindly decide the following
bet: bets B that the Boston Amer
leans VIII win a larger percentage of
gam on the present western trip than
the Athletics will. The question then
! arose that if they both win and lose the
Same number of games neither will win
and the bet is off.
G. In the above case is it or should it
be understood by that in order to win
the bet the Athletics must win the larger
percentage of games played because there
was nothing said about the possibility of
each team winning and losing the same
number?
go contends that he did not offer the
bet, but only took the bet offered by A,
and therefore does not have to win a
larger percentage of games in order to
win the bet
Thanking you for the above, ] am,
very truly,

Answer-In such cases the bet is gen
orally declared off. unless. of course, A

Suggestions on Clearing Land
Pulling Sturnps.

In this country elimination Of the
stumps is the biggest item. Here, as
there. I find many decayed stumps.
especially In the logged-off lands,
which, If properly handled, can be
burned out entirely with little addt
tional work by burning trash upon
them. These stumps are usually
coated with a punky substance hav-
ing great capacity for holding water.
With the first firing. If done at the
driest time, most Of these stumps
will be stripped Of this punky coat
ing, leaving the harder interior por-
tons now exposed to sun and air. II
this slashing, and firing Of some, can
be done year or two in advance of
the bulk Of the grubbing. several
advantages may be gained. On the
second year-dry time 1t will be
found that those stumps SO exposed
will fall a much easier prey to fire
than at the first burning, remnants
from the slashing fire being used to
burn about these stumps. Another
practice have found good here and
elsewhere, is this: Where 1t is fea-
sible sow the land in grass, clover
preferably, as early after the slash
ing fire as consistent. This will
serve several good purposes; the
clover, being legume, will prove
a good soil builder and make good
pasture if desired. II good stand
is secured it will smother briars and
other small wild growth, subduing
them to considerable extent.
have also found that clover will
greatly hasten the decay of stumps,
making the work of grubbing much
easier when you get around to it

Grain Fed Hogs
By G. X. Samson, Instructor in Animal
Husbandry, O. A. G.


Especial to the Farm Magazine)
n I THE present price of grain and
"a hogs, hog feeding looks a little
discouraging If man has
500 bushels of grain and his pigs re-
turn only one-hundred weight for
four-hundred sixty pounds of grain
consumed, the pigs are returning
little more than miller's prices for
the grain. To be sure the feeder
has some Of the valuable part Of the
grain left in the form of the fertil-
izing constituents in the manure.
but some feeders have not learned
that there is any value attached to
this product. Most feeders insist on
feeders profit over and above that
inherent in the manure. How to do
this without securing higher price
for hogs is problem which many
are asking the Experiment Station
to solve. While there are many
problems connected with pig feeding
on which the Experiment Station is
still laboring and will yet have to
work out this one at least is largely
solved
When grain is fed alone some of
it is not utilized to the best advant-
age by the pigs because the pigs re-
quire something to put with the
grain to enable them to make the
most complete use Of the grain.
That is, the grain does not contain
all the ingredients in just the cor
rect proportion to suit the pigs
needs The ingredient which is de-
ficient in the grain is the albumen-
Gus or nitrogenous one commonly
called protein. A pound and half
Of skim-milk or buttermilk with
each pound of grain fed makes it
possible for the pigs to make much
more complete use Of the grain.
In the absence Of milk or in case
an insufficient quantity Of it Is
available, tankage is the cheapest
thing on the market to make the
grain more efficient. At $50 per
ton, 1O-pounds Of tankage to 90
pounds Of grain will increase the
cost Of hundred pounds Of feed
by ten cents but it will make that
hundred pounds Of feed produce
2.65 pounds more pork. which at &c
per pound amounts to s1S.55 per
hundred. In other words tha feeder
nearly doubles on every cent which
he puts into tankage and feeds in
the proportion suggested. In terms
of returns per hundred pounds of
gain on the hogs, the feeder Sc
cures SIN cents more when he
feeds tankage than when he feeds
straight grain. In terms of the
price which the pigs return for 100

Vera Cruz, May 30-The landing Of war
munitions for Huerta from the Hamburg
American liners Ypiranga and Bavaria
passed into the realm Of diplomacy late
to-day. when both ships were granted
clearance by Captain Herman o. Stickney,
Collector of the Port, after Karl Heynen,
general agent in Mexico of the company
had signed a bond covering the fines as
sessed against these steamers.
Captain Stickney holds that diverting
to Puerto Mexico the shipments consigned
to Vera Cruz was a direct violation of the
laws. and a fine of 20 pesos on each pack
age landed was assessed against the ship
masters. The total fines amount approx
mately to 10000 in gold.
Heynen said tonight that no steps had
been taken TO protest the fines, but he ex-
pected 10 do so Immediately through the
German Consul. He assumed, as do the
civil government officials here, that the
matter has now passed out of their hands
and will be taken up by the Washington
and Berlin governments If the laws have
been violated.
No further reports have reached here as
to the whereabouts of the arms ship
ments. the last statement given out at
headquarters said the Bavaria shipment
had reached Cordoba. 1t is understood
that the Ypiranga shipment was hurried
toward the capital on special trains.

Washington, May 3o-It has been prac-

rise to the suspicion that it was due
to the persistent desire that. Villa
should take Mexico City before peace
was concluded. But with the addi-
tional munitions of war which have
reached Huerta and the advent of the
rainy season the task which confronts
villa in reaching Mexico City is far
more formidable than it was a short
time ago.
There is, naturally, some anxiety re-
garding the attitude Of Huerta. That
he is strengthened in his position by
recent events and might hold out
against his enemies for a considerable
time longer cannot be gainsaid. but 1t
is hoped that he will not be guilty Of
the folly of rejecting the plan Of the
peace conference. Until word is re-

those who have worked so earnestly

calamity would be war between the

ship AGENT DEFENDS
LANDING OF ARMS
Ypiranga Owners Protest
Against Paying Big
Indemnity.
BY ARTHUR RUHL.

Vera Cruz. May 3O-Without visible
bushes, the Ypiranga, having landed
her huge cargo and ammunition at
Puerto Mexico. sailed into Vera cruz
early to-day and tied up at the end OF
the Sanitary Wharf. Captain Bonath
said that she had landed all her cargo
at Puerto Mexico. but what 1t was he
did not pretend to know. He merely
obeved orders and waited where he
was told.
Kerl Heynen, the freight agent from
Mexico City who saw that the arms
were safely discharged at Puerto Mexi-
co. affected to treat the whole affair
as a matter of course, saying that
Mexican law permitted vessel to dis
charge freight at port other than that
specified in its manifest when condi-
tons Of war or revolution prevented its
landing at the first port. In addition
he showed a special decree issued by
the Minister of Finance two weeks ago
in the capital granting permission spe-
officially on account of conditions Of
the Port of Vera Cruz.
AS to any opposition from American
ships of war. there could be no possible
objection to the Ypiranga's action Hey
men said. He did not thing that the
American authorities here would vent
ure even to fine her, or if they did that
the fine would he RENTED later. The
agent laughed at the suggestion that
there was feeling against the Ypi-
ranga.
passengers from here, many others in
tending to transfer at Havana for the
United states.
Late to-day. while the Ypiranga was
still at her dock, Captain Bonett. COM
ing from the office Of Herman o. Stick
ney. Captain of the Port, said he did
not know whether or not he would get
away. Karl Heynen. the ships agent,
said a few minutes later that the
Ypiranga was in the same case as the
Bavaria. and that he was going out to
arrange for a bond.
The exact amount Of the fine could
not be learned then, but it is under
stood to be between 100000 and 100000
pesos, about $4,000 gold. After a
satisfactory bond is filed the shin NAV

Always New Guests.

The hospitality of the officers ;t
TEAR is boundless, and 1t needs must
be. Every other officer on the war
ships and in the regiments was wish
ing to see this distant outpost stranded
outside our lines self-supporting. so
each day at the mess there are always
new guests.
One day there were sixteen that
would make the best housekeeper peev-
ish, but Major Russell was as unmoved
as when the Federal officer gave him
ten minutes in which to surrender
TEAR, and the only change made by
Captain Wirgman, his adjutant. was to
give his camp chair to a visitor and sit
on a box of ammunition. Yesterday
the officers carried their courtesy so
far as to bring 10 us messages that
heavy firing was heard between TEAR
and the city, but this effort TO render
our return march of interest was futile.
Too well we knew that whenever an
admiral is saluted in the outer harbor
some sentry reports an artillery duel
going on directly In front Of his post.
our doubts were justified. In safety
we regained the city. That the ma
rines had refused to seek safety with us
was on their own heads. We had rid
den out to rescue them. They had re-
fused TO be rescued. Tomorrow they
will refuse again.

Vera Cruz, May 30-Water for this
city is pumped out of the Jamapa River
at TEAR, nine miles from Vera cruz.
To guard the waterworks are three
hundred marines with Bendmarcier
quick firing guns and three-inch field
pieces. But In places the nine miles OF
iron pipe through which the water Is
forced to the city is exposed and could
be destroyed.
To prevent this every day one OF the
two troops Of the 9th Cavalry mere pa
trolls the line Of water pipe, and after
rest at TEAR returns to Vera Cruz.
1t is a joke Of the troopers that these
daily expeditions are to rescue the
TEAR garrison of marines. On arriving
the troopers exclaim, THANK God. we
are in timer and the marines retort
with solicitude. Did you lose many
men on the way up?"
Since the murder Of Parks no one Is
permitted to go beyond our outposts
except on the train TO TEAR and on
the train to where on the road to Mex
leo City the tracks are torn up, These
trains are guarded by marines and in
fantry, and the one that meets the pas
sengers from Mexico City carries

The only other way to escape from
the heat and flies of Vera Cruz is to
ride out with the patrol. When you
are with it you are not supposed to be
beyond our line, because the patrol IT.

Davis Sees tho Rescue.

daily rescue of the garrison yesterday.
There were no casualties. The cavalry
camp is on the outskirts Of the city,
in a cocoanut grove. Captain Myers
was in command. and at 1:15 o'clock
gave the order to mount. We started
up the railroad in what the infantry
would call single file and the cavalry
a column of troopers. Three hundred
yards in advance Of the troops was
point Of five men with a sergeant.
They were linked to us by a connect
ing trooper, who by twisting his neck
was able to see the captains soma
phore signals. BY him a message was
relayed to the point. Trailing the troop
was a rear guard Of four. Each man
carried a rifle, hundred rounds of
ammunition and an automatic pistol
and in a saddle bag a sandwich.
Marching at a fast walk soon we
were clear of the city limits, and for
three miles the double track of the
Mexican Central runs along the same
embankment with the Alvarado single
track. Between these and on either
edge Of the ties are paths beaten by
the hoofs of burros. mules and ponies
bringing into Vera Cruz milk, vegeta

At that hour Of these there was an

bore the burden moved at a dog trot
