Wisconsin Farmers Can
Prevent a Million Loss

"Heavy losses from the destruc-
tive white grub will occur in large
areas of Wisconsin in the summer
Of 1915, unless our farmers u se
every means to prevent It'll s
the warning issued by Professor j..
G. Sanders. EntomOlOgist of tn e
Agricultural Experiment Station
at Madison.
The losses in 1915 promise to be
as great or greater than in 1912
when 80 per cent of the corn crop
was ruined. This trouble will oc-
cur every third year until more
efficient controls are found.
Professor Sanders and OF h e r
entomologists are trying to work
out better control methods, but for
the present the following recon-
mendations are made to farmers
for CT ecking the white grub,
wherever the June b eetles (the
adult stage of the grub were
plentiful this summer.
1. Fall pillow and drag immedi-
ately all fields where corn
will be planted next year.
2. Plant corn again on 1914
corn land.
8. It will be comparatively safe
to plant corn in a field with
a pure stand of clover in 1914
4. Do not plant corn on sod
land plowed up next spring.

of all kinds will receive attention

LAGGARD GOLFERS.
There ls Such Thing as Being Too
Deliberate In a Game.


Deliberate In a Game.
While carelessness is a bad feature
for any golfer to allow TO creep into
his game, it must not be confused
with unnecessarily prolonged delibera-
ton over shots. Too much time in
studying shots before playing them
is. to my mind, worse than not enough.
In other words, neither procrastination
nor hurrying will bring satisfactory
results, but as between the two undue
deliberation is worse because 1t is in
the nature of an imposition upon other
players. Golf has become so popular
a game that the number of players
has increased by leaps and bounds;
hence a great many clubs have an &C.
tive playing membership so large that
it is problem how to accommodate
all who wish toe play, especially on
Saturdays and holidays. An unneces-
sarily slow player can hold back a
field and cause more Tuning and hard
feelings than almost any other factor
In play. The same thing applies in
open tournaments or championships
Admittedly there are some golfers
who are SO constituted that they have
to go at their play deliberately to do
well. but they ought to realize that
fact. and. when they see that they are
holding otheas back. courteously let
those following Ego through"
A great many players who are alb
normally deliberate might find by ex-
pertinent that they could play just as
well. If not better, by speeding up
bit When golfer spends overmuch
time In studying the line of his putt
for example. first viewing 1t from one
side of the hole and then from the
other, only to go back and have an
other look from the first side-he is
apt to see undulations or bumps which
really would have no influence over
the balls course If utterly disregarded.
The imagination gets too much play
and the mind has too much time for
working up hesitancy and breeding
lack Of confidence. The best putters.

NEGOTIATIONS ABANDONED FOR ARMY-NAvY GAME.
Annapolis Refuses to Play in New York on Account of the Heavy Ex- penses.

Annapolis, Md, Oct.NS.-Negotiatio for a football game between the army and navy teams this year have been abandoned. This was announced py the navy athletic association today.
 Capt William F. Fullam. superin-. tendent of the academy, in a state, ment issued at the same time, an nounced that he personally approves of the action of the navy athletic council. Said Captain Fullam:
 'sFrom the viewpoint of the best ln- terests of the naval academy and the midshipmen, there are insurmountable objections to playing in New York, or at any point which cannot be reached in three or four hours from Annapolis Playing at New York involves an ex- pense of from seven to eight thousand dollars for the midshipmens' travel. They last year arrived only five min utes before the game and might in any year fail to reach there in time.
 ''The superintendent approved the proposition to play at the midway point unreservedly, and also to play on the home grounds, the battaiions not to accompany the team in the lat ter case. The objections to Philadel- phia and to the home grounds are not considered reasonable
 "It is needless to say that the navy team will play the game wherever it is ordered to do so by proper authority, but if the opinions of the superinten- dent and the council are consulted they can only state their opinions frankly | and truthfully."

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deaf ness. and that Is by constitutional rem. edies. Deafness is caused by an i'm famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inf1amed you have a rumbling' sound or imperfect hearing. and when 1t Is entirely closed deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which ts nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

 The Vale Bowl is practically ready for the Yale-Harvard football game on Nov. 21. The outside edges have been sodded and the ecement seats have
 been completed as far as it was in- tended. The bowl will in all probabil- ity not be finished for two or three years to come. It has been thought best to delay the construction of the entire cement seating area for at least a year in order to test the sec- tion already constructed. However, the inteded capacity. 10000. will be accommodated, wooden seats being substituted for the cement.

THEORY OF BRAVES
 CRACKING IS EXPLODED,
Stallings's Men Have Pulled Throusl One Nerve Hacking Strain All Right.


 Those who are looking for the Braves to crack during the world series may be just as greatly disappointed as was John McGraw.
 The theory that good ball team will go to pieces in an important series was exploded long ago, and so has been the theory that a star ball player will crack under the strain and excitement and put up miserable exhibition.
 Look over the records of world series players and world series teams and you will find that with rare exceptions
 the best team always has grabbed the bunting and that the star players have shone just as brightly in a world series as they did during the regular season.
 Eddie Collins, Frank Baker and Jack Barry of the Athletics are fine exam pies of the exploded theory. The trio
 has flelded just as brilliantly during the world series in which they have figured as they did in the regular sea- son that preceded them. In some cases they have done better
 In the 1910 world series Collins hit for .429. Baker for .409 and Barry for
 235 Barry during the series hit for
 his normal average, while Collins and Baker hit above theirs. Strunk in 191t
 hit .278 during the series-an average
 that he has maintained throughout his Dig league. career.
 In 1911 Collins hit for .2S6. That was below his normal average. One more nit would have placed him we'll over the 300 mark He was robbed of that
 nit by a sensational catch by Murray or drive that looked like sure triple. Baker that year hit 1875, while Barry clubbed 'em out for .36S-over I00 points beyond normal.
 In 1912 Iris Speaker, the Bostol. siugser, got .300 average out of the series. which was a trife below nor nal. The other Red Sox hit around their normal averages. Meyers, the liant catcher, hit for .375 during the i92 world series. The other Giants 9atted around normal
 In 1913 Baker hit for .45o, Collins .42l, Schang .357, Barry 300 and Old l ring for .273 These averages were above normal. showing that in the Athletics case at least the good hitters sometimes play better baseball during snort world series than they do dur Ing the regular season. Ty Cobb Is one example to the con- Irary. The great Tiger batter emerged rom three world series combats with a
 miserable batting record, But it was
 lroI que to nervousness or cracking. The Georgian simply happened to fall into batting slump toward the end or each season. and he couldn't get out or 1t In time to make a showing in the world series.
 It's the same with the fielding. The nnished fielder comes out of a series with fielding average just about on a par with that of the regular season The importance of such a series never mas caused any great difference in the
 game put up by a player. Take the
 averages of the players who have par tcipated in two. three or four series ana total them and you will find that l their combined batting and fielding | averages during world series combats l are Just about equal to their grand
 averages covering all their years in

baseball.

He lost two. The other was tied. But in each game Matty encountered hard luck. His pitching skill was just as prominent during all of those three games as it was durin the regular season, but a few foozles behind him and a few breaks for the Red Sox robbed him of victory.
 Bender and Plank. the great Ath- letic pair, have figured in four world series combats. This years will make the fifth. Take their avera e yer ing the other series in which they have

. 4.ed, count up the hits they have germ-tted, the strikeouts, the bases on balls given and the number of games won and lost and you will find that they total around their grand averages for all the years they have been in the big league.
 And so. in the face of this condition. ioesn't it seem like a lot of bunk for so many folks to figure that the Braves will crack during the world series hat the Braves should come along now and establish a precedent?
 Of course, the Braves may crack. All things are possible. But 1t isn't at all probable that a team that has played as wonderful baseball as have the Braves during the past 12 weeks should go to pieces just when they are within -each of their highest ambition--to become baseball champions of the world.
