SUNDAY COULD DRAW
BIG SALARY AS PLAYER

COLORADO SPRINGS, June 10
Billy Sunday would be worth at least
$4,000 a year TO any team in or
ganized baseball if he would play"
This was the opinion of j. P. (Pop)
Hubbell, veteran golfer and baseball
fan who used to watch the baseball
evangelist play in the old baseball
days.
Sunday was, believe, the fastest
baseball player l ever saw he added.
"on hit that would enable Cap An
son, for instance, to get half way to
first base, Sunday would get well past
the first sack. don't believe his
record for running the bases has ever
been beaten.
Sunday always was a puzzle to
me. | never could understand how
a player who seemed to have so much
pep and ginger as he could be so
quiet. He never wrangled with the
umpire and when he was on the bench
he was so quiet as to be almost taci-
turn"

FARMING EXPERT IN CITY.

Prof. Walter II. Olin, commissioner
of agriculture for the Denver & Rio
Grande, who arrived here last night
to devote a while to our section, is
progressive, scientific agriculturis
or shall we say agricultural scien-
tist-by heridity, education, expert
ence and inclination. Back in Ohio
his father and grandfather were sue
cessful farmers whose slogan was,
"Drive your major crop to market" "
At the early age of Ia the care of
his fathers large eastern farm fell
on his shoulders and it was there he
acquired wealth of valuable expert
ence that assisted him in interpreting
his scientific education, later acquir-
ed, in practical terms. For several
years he was associated with the Colo
RADIO Agricultural college and later
with the University of Idaho, where
he was foremost in university extern
sion movement, especially among the
farmers.
How to better the conditions of the
farmers and their families has always
been the subject nearest his head and
heart. A few months ago he resign
ed his position in the Idaho institu-
tion to accept place with the d. &
X. G., designated as commissioner of
agriculture, which is in reality a posi-
tion that represents the company's
efforts to improve the lot of the
farmers in the territory tributary ta
the road.
Busy months these have been for
Prof. Olin since he entered upon his
new duties. In one part Of his ter
ritory fungus was destroying the
potatoes. He was called upon to Of
fer remedy. He found that new
seed must be grown and number
of old conditions removed before re-
