The battle between the Lookouts and
the Barons has ragged without cessa-
ton or armistice since Wednesday
when Burleigh Grimes and Raleigh
Aitchison fought II scoreless innings.
On Thursday the engagement was re-
newed and in the first game the Bar
ons managed to take the advance
trenches of the Lookouts through the
pitching of Karl Black, but the Sec
ond game was tied. Friday the battle
ragged with the result that the Barons
were severely checked, being held
scoreless through the entire afternoon
which necessitated two more games
yesterday afternoon.
Grimes Is Invincible
At 2;15 o'clock yesterday afternoon
1t was announced that Grimes and
sAitchisan would renew the battle be-
sun on Wednesday 1t was a most san
culinary affair and it fully decided once
and for all the supremacy of Grimes
over his southpaw opponent Only 80
of the Lookouts faced Grimes in nine
innings and he allowed trio of wal
lops-widely scattered.
In the second affair General Moles-
worth sent Karl Black to the fore and
George Cunningham, who pitched a no.
hit game on Thursday, went to the
mound for the Lookouts. 1t was free
hitting game and only the vicious wal
lops of Blacks mates saved him from
defeat.
IN the first game the Barons settled
the issue very quickly by acquiring

went to second on Magee's single.
Lindsay's sacrifice advanced both run
ners and then Roy ELAN ported one
To the willows in the center field for
three bags and incidentally cleaning
the sacks of anxious Barons. On Wal
lace's high fly to right ELAN easily
scored, which ended the run getting for
that particular stanza.
Grimes Hits Double
In the fifth, with two out, BERTHE
Grimes doubled to right and scored
when Cayeny juggled a grounder by
Coombs. Again in the eight Tod Sloan
opened with triple and he scored on
Coyles out.
At no time did the Lookouts threat
en- the Barons in the first game as
Grimes had them at his mercy. In the
second inning ELAN made a sensa-
tional stop of Harris drive by SCOOP

and getting the runner out at first 1t
was a play unlike that of any ever
witnessed at Fleetwood Field before
and the sorrel topped Baronial captain
was loudly cheered for his defensive
and offensive work during the entire
matinee.

but in some mysterious manner Cecil
Coombs managed to telescope himself
while running at top speed and speared
the pellet with his gloved hand for one of
the most beautiful catches seen at Rick
wood this season. In the seventh Har-
ris tripled with two out and he was the
only Lookout to reach that station during
the game. Mcbride and DAILY. the two
other Lookouts who reached first on hits,
never went past second. The Barons
played errorless ball in the first game,
and supported Grimes in excellent style.
However, the big Baron pitcher hurled
invincible, and it was merely a ques-
ton of how many runs the Barons would

The Baron fans will not soon forget the
graceful work of Tex Covington, the
guardian of the first pillow on last year S
pennant winning team. He is back at his
old trick of scooping the pill out of the
dust around first base for the Travellers.
Although not hitting quite as well as last
year, he is still playing the bang-up game
he is capable of playing, and is just one
of the nine reasons that make the fight
ing swapping Travellers hard to beat.

PAYING FOWLS ARE
SOURCE OF DELIGHT
Money-Making Hens Live in
Houses Free From vermin and
Are Properly Cared For.

Paying birds are q delight to the
eye. You like to show them to your
friends and linger in the description
Of what they are and what they have
done for you. Paying birds never
make up q large part Of your flock.
when you sell the cream of your chick
ems every year.
Money-making flocks are made up
Of the best you raise. always letting
the second quality go to the market.
This class of birds, because they
pay, receive thought and attention
from you. You gladly take good care
Of them. You are willing to properly
mate them and feed them. You look
for fresh blood to improve your flock.
You can buy birds that should pay.
but 1t is another thing to have them
pay you after you own them.
The paying hen is usually Matched
from q paying strain. The paying
hen that comes out of the flock of
good-for-nothing birds is seldom met
and not worth looking for. It takes
time, It takes money, 1t takes born
hen sense to produce q flock of pay
ing hens.
1t takes little neglect to send this
flock back to the class Of non-paying
hens. Paying birds live in houses free
from vermin and all are supplied with
pure air and water. They get food
that is needed to bring the profit to
the proper point.

Those whose allegiance holds to the
small hat have been repaid by its bril-.
lance as millinery achievement this
season. Though dividing hoAors with
the Oide-brimmed styles. the small hat
has been allowed greater latitude In
the matter of trimming. and intricacy
has marked its draping. Even 80, its
trimming may be classed as simple
compared to that which has gone be-
fore. But designers have spent their
ingenuity in finding odd poses for the
seasons odd trimmings and in the
management of drapery and lines.
Beautiful velvets in colors that are
an inspiration to the designers have
been used for making many of the
small hats, and velvet turbans may be
said to predominant. But there are
others. A few handsome ones are en-
tirely of feathers. Novelty bands and
fabrics, plush. metallic laces and fur
are all conspicuous in the composition
Of the small hat.
Two turbans In which velvet Is used
are shown here and will serve to Illus
trate what has been said Of the small
hat for this season. In the first one q
single piece of velvet covers the shape
and forms q drapery at the left side.

Winter killing 10 usually caused by
the plants dying out too much dur
ing the winter months. or by alternate
freezing and thawing.
The best mulch material to use is
clean straw; this is placed on the
plants four to six inches deep after
the ground has been frozen.
In the spring after the ground is
thawed. the straw IL worked around
the plants. This serves several pur-
poses. such as keeping the patch free
from weeds. conserving the moisture.
and forming q clean mat for the Der

After the fruit has ripened the
