Quigley and Eason umpired the Giant-Dodger games Thursday and no- body found any fault except Marquard, who thought a ball called on Pfeffer in the fourth period should have been a strike. Quig1ey, who has turned out to be one of the best unpires in either major league, worked behind the plate His Judgment appeared to be without a flaw. He gave his de- cisions promptly and with sufficient emphasis to show that he wasn' t guessing. Eason, on the bases, made no mistakes. He had several close plays to judge, but he was right on top of them with an eagle eye Sport writers in Gotham say that no game at any of the big league fields in Man hattan this season has been handled by the umpire with more general sat isfaction Wish that the Eastern as sociatton had a, few Quigleys.

Hub Perdue of the Cardinals with his Southern tongue, serves as inter- locutor when the athletes gather around the hotel lobby each evening. And Hub has a list of yarns which bring laughs every time he relates one of his funny experiences. He has one with a, title of Mixing 'em up,'' which runs along these lines.
 Hub isn't considered much of a hit ter-another, Bill Doak, usually a walk to the plate. two calls of strike one swing and then a stroll back to the plate.

Wilbur Rodgers, star shortstop of the Portland Oregon club has been sold to the Cleveland club of the American league Rodgers played with the Waterbury club of the Con necticut League about four years ago. President McCreedte of the Portland club has the following to say about Wilbur: Rodgers is a consistent 300 hitter and would make good with amy major league team. He has led the league in fielding ever since drafted him from the Conn ecticut league in 1911. He is also leading the Coast league in base stealing and I hate to let him go but money talks and have sold him to Somers where am con- fdent that he will make good" While with Waterbury Rodgers was a 300 man and twice lead the league in stolen bases.

Tn a formal statement Leader FsuItz of the Players Fraternity admits openly that the Athletics and C1eve- land Maps would not have obeyed his recent strike order. There's another American league club which received assurance from twelve players under contract that they would not go out. It is common gossip among major league players that there will be no more strike orders prompted by the grievances of minor 1eaguers.

closed shed or run in tours in Il roomy
box will be found right. The run of
a good blue grass field will afford ex-
crcise and some feed. Plenty of ex-
ercise in the open with the chance to
grow a good coat is as essential as
feed in making a good frame. Wean-
lings handled in this manner may look
a bit shaggy. but they will do much
better than the pampered kind. 1t is
hard to feed too much if the feeding

CROSSBREEDING THE SHEEP,
Good Flock Produced by Mixing
Coarse and Fine Wool S~necinens.'

OONsO0 Nv wv V0Ol 0p0CIG00O8s
Considering facilities for handling
such as lay of land, feed, shelter, size
of flock to run together, etc.-each of
the modern breeds Of sheep has its
qualities. peculiarities, a%daptability.
and some require more feed and a
than others, but all can be used for
Il special purpose in crossbreeding or
breeding up common stock.
The Delaine Merino excels in lon
gevity, also in weight and fineness Of
fleece; but the lambs are not as good
sellers on the fall market as the Down
breeds. Yet the Merino blood is the
cornerstone of the sheep industry.
The long wool sheep, such as Cots
wolds and LincOlns, raise a large mar
ketable lamb, their wool is weighty
and coarse and is often discounted. A
cross between these fine and coarse
wool breeds makes one Of the best
general purpose sheep for this coun-
try we have.
These half blood sheep shear q
heavy fleece of medium wool, which
brings the highest market price, and
the lambs are better for market under
the care Of the average farmer than
either of their full blood ancestors.
High class sheep are as beautiful in
lines of form and style as are fine
horses. SO. after throwing out i'll
shaped sheep, the basic principle in
studying your flock of ewes is the
weight and quality Of their wool and
the value of the lambs they produce.
If the flock is of two or more distinct
types 1t may be necessary to divide it
and use different rams until you can

are OF good form and size, but smear

like the Lincoln or Coz. void a De-
laine ram will increase the constitu-

lambs. If your flock shears we'll. but
ewes are small. get an Oxford or a
Hampshire ram. If your dark faced
ewes, which you perhaps call Shrop-
shires, are shor. wooled and irh
