RECORDS OF PLAYERS
HUSKY TASKS THAT CONFRONT
AMBITIOUS YOUNGSTERS.
George Gibson Of Pittsburgh Worked
In $40 Consecutive Games During
Season of 19o9-other In
terestlng Figures.

Each season ball players individual
ly and as a team start out with the
determination of smashing some OF
the old records and establishing new
ones for themselves. Here are few
OF the records-taken from Spalding's
1914 Guide-which show the rather
husky task. that confronts the play
ers of this era who have record
breaking ambitions.
In 1909 George Gibson, the Pirate
catcher, worked in 140 consecutive
games. In July, 1908, Roger Bresna-
han, then with the Giants, did not
have an assist or put out in a ten-in-
ming game. An average of $50 for the
season was turned in in 1904 by Joe
Sugden OF the Browns, in 1906 by
Jack O'Connor of the Browns, in 1907
by Frank Bowerman of New York, in
1909 by Forrest Cady of the Red Sox
and also by George Gibson of Pitts
burgh.
In the pitching line, Charles Rad
bourne, with Providence, In 1883
worked in 81 consecutive games and
won %. In 1884 he pitched 70 games
In one seasonal record that was du-
plicated in 1889 by John Clarkson,
then with Boston. Keefe, pitching
for the Giants in 1889 and Vanguard,
pitching for the same team in 1912,
are tied with 10 consecutive victories
in one season.
Charles Sweeney, pitching for Prov
idence against Boston in 1883, struck
out Fl batsmen. Amos Rusie, in 1892,
gave 261 bases on balls in one season,

advancement was so rapid that when

the Western league that year caused
the Boston Americans to buy his re-

STUBBLE AFTER HARVESTING
That VIII Thoroughly Stir
Surface of Soil viii Prevent
Loss Of Moisture.
,fBy ALVIN KEYSER. Agronomist Colo
RADIO Experiment Sta;;onl

,fBy ALVIN KEYSER. Agronomist. Colo

Land in growing small grain is well
shaded. This shading, with the pro-
lection furnished by the crop from
winds, amounts in practice to very
effectual mulch so that loss of water
from the soil by direct evaporation is
almost reduced to minimum.
The only loss is the amount taken
up by the plants. When grain is har-
vested the soil is left in condition to
lose water from two sources. First
and most important is the loss of water
through the growth of weeds; second,
on the heavier soils there is some loss
by evaporation from the surface which
causes contraction of the soil followed
by more or less severe cracking. This
permits the air to penetrate farther
and thus dry out the soil to consid-
erable depth. Weeds, however, are
usually the most sB ere source Of loss
at this period.
To check the losses which occur from
these causes it is only necessary to
stir the surface of the land with disk
harrow, double disking by tapping half,
or the use of some Of the heavier
spring-tooth harrows or cultivators.
Anything, in fact, which will thoroughly
stir the surface and kill the weeds will
eject the purpose. These processes
not only kill the weeds and prevent
cracking but they also protect the tilth
of the soil so that blowing can be done
more leisurely with the soil in better
physical condition.
