IMPORTANCE OF PURE SEED
Best Appreciated by Southern Truck
Grower Who Depends on North
crr Potatoes for Crop
(By WILLIAM sTUARTD

The Importance Of securing pure
seed of a given variety is best appre-
ciated by the southern truck grower
who at the present time is practically
dependent on northcrn-srown seed po-
tatoes for his early crop. 1t fire.
quently happens that seed potatoes
have anywhere from five to ten per
cent, or even more, of mixture. Gen
orally this mixture is of much later
maturing variety. The trucker plants
this seed very early. At this season
of the year there is little warmth in
the soil; hence, the later maturing

40 per cent of the gross receipts for

and commission charges, the grower
has sustained a net money loss of
1920 to $21.60 per acre.
Comparatively little attention has
as yet been given to the subject of
the productiveness or unproductive-
ness of certain strains of plants
within a variety. 1t is believed that
this is a very important factor in the

have a hope, forthwith, else we'd per-

pened since that time, I should say
we are liable to perish before we find

Rough Road to Title.
"If we hadn't required the white
hope, I am inclined to the belief that
the usual bunch of large, two storied,
two listed young fellows would have
bobbed up and gone along through
the usual course of fistic sprouts until
one had attained the necessary profile

you take the history of any of our
heavyweight champions of the past
and you will find that they had to
travel a mighty rough old route to
the big title. There is no royal road
to the championship. Johnson himself
went as tough a journey as any of
them before he landed there. You

season opens he will have at least 200
players lined up. OF this NUMBER
about 100 viii be players that have
been taken away from organized base
ball. Placing the average value of
each of these players at $1,000 low
estimate-it will be seen that organ
lied baseball has lost something like
S340 600 worth of players during the
two months of Federal activity.
The other great loss suffered by the
organized baseball magnates is in the
high salaries they have to pay their
men, not only for the coming season,
but for the next two and three sea-
sons The Brooklyn club furnishes an
excellent example of this.
Ebbets Found Players Coy.
Charles H Ebbets, the Dodgers own
er, was in Porto Rico when the news
of Tinker's desertiOn and the raids of
the Federals came to him. He jumped
the first boat for the United States and
Immediately upon landing set out to
lassO his players and tie them so that
they couldn't get loose.
Ebbets found many Of his players
very coy about signing. Ebbets knew
1t was case Of paying the men the
salaries they demanded or leaving
them open to jump to the Feds Eb-
men what they Wanted-and that
means that he paid many of them from
$1,000 to $1,000 more than they got last
year and just that much more than he

Not only did Ebbets sign up his men
for one year. but he got their sigma
lures for two and three years He
wanted Ed Ruehlbaeh, the big pitcher,
to sign up for five years. but Ed
turned him down. It is said that Eb-

1914 and thus immune from the Fed

Ebbets admits that the signing ND
Of his players this year cost him be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 more than
he expected it would cost. Ebbets per
maps lost more money this way than
did the other 16 magnates in the bie-
leagues, because he had more PLAYERS
1n the reserve list than did the Others.
But from all the information that can
be gathered it seems that it cost each
major league magnate about $50. 600
extra to sign up his players this year. /

PAT MORAN MAKES OFFER
Wonld Like to Land Rube Marquard
for the Phillies
Special to The Telegraph

SffCid1 70 Inc eIegFdPF
New York. Dec 10-A deal was
started hero between Pat Moran and
John McGraw that bids fair to go
through before the gloom turns into
dawn. Both Moran and McGraw have
been flirting with each other in trying
to land certain players which the other
coveted and it is probable that some
thing will actually come out of the
proposition which Moran finally offered
to the Giants leader late last night
The new Phil leaders proposition
was this: He offered Honus Lobert
and Charley Doom to the Giants in
exchange for five players who were
supposed to be Rube Marquard and
Rube Schauer, pitchers. Robertson,
an outtielder. and Eddie Grant and
Beatty infielders. The deal all hinges
on the Marquard case. If the Wards
really turn Rube back to organized
baseball as they said they would do
if the Giants can show that they held
prior claim upon his services, then
Moran will allow the trade to be made.
Doom and Magee will hold off until
saturday.
