HIS JUDGMENT GOOD,
TO SAY THE LEAST

1t couldn't have happened in
the big leagues, but 1t was a big
league exhibition of headwork.
The bases were full. The batter
lifted q high ny over the left
fielder, who was playing just in
side the sidewalk. His pursuit
Of the ball took him into the
street. After a sharp run he got
under the ball. Just ~ 1t was de-
scending into his glove the bat
ter stopped and shouteds "LOok
out fer de ottymobiley' The
fielder lodged an imaginary auto
mobile, the ball fell safe and
three runners crossed the plate.

CHARITY IS ''PHENOM"
Of PRESENT SEASON
Minneapolis Catcher, Who May
Come to Washington, Said
to Be Real Star.

MINNEAPOLIS. July 21-Ed Char
rity, tho Beloit boy now catching for
Joe Cantillon's Millers. is regarded in
American Association circles as one of
the best bets uncovered this season.
Last year Charity played his first
professional ball. with Dayton, in the
Central League. In the fall he was
drafted by Cincinnati and Garry Herr
mann traded him to Minneapolis. This
spring he has been playing a tiptop
game. and now is hitting around the
300 mark. 1t is predicted in Minneap-
oils that he will not finish the season
with tho Millers. Big league scouts
already are watching his work.
Charity Is twenty-five years old
bats and throws right-handed and is
natural hitter. He is a quiet, unas-
suming chap of the ball field. but on
the field he is an aggressive. hard
working fighter of the kind the fans
like to SEQ work. He already has won
several games for the Millers with his
stickwork. In Minneapolis recently he
slammed out home run with two men
on the paths. In Indianapolis his hit
ting gathered in another game for Can
tillon's crew.

Bats Above 800 Mark.

For several weeks this spring Char
rity led the association at the bat and
is still well above the 300 mark.
Behind the bat the Beloit boy is a
heady, cool catcher, with a quick throw
to any corner of the diamond. and he
covers a wide range of territory field
ing his position.
Charity Is as popular in his home
town of Beloit as he is in Minneapolis
When the Millers play their last Sc
ries Of the season In Milwaukee later

During my boyhood days my father

mia farmer In the Rural New Yorker.
His purchase Of any new high priced

recommending them to his neighbors.

A TRANSPLANTING HINT.

Market gardeners who have occasion
to transplant many seedlings OF lettuce
or beets to the open field. especially
when irrigation Is not available. some
times experience considerable loss
from drying OF the young plants. says

this may be assigned to weak plants
with soft leaves and few roots An
other frequent cause. according 10 OBJ
servers from the New Jersey station.
Is the failure 10 reduce the leaf surface

Almost always when plants are pull
ed from the seed bed many roots are
lost. and to balance up the water sup

the top should also be removed. In
many cases these tips or even the

and the grower may as well keep the
water they would have drawn from the

Speed Of 6sparators.

A good deal OF loss OF butter fat has
been occasioned by the fact that cream
separators often are run at too low a
speed. The manufacturers have deter
mined at what speed the machine will
run at highest efficiency. and this is
ordinarily marked on the crank. Most
farmers. however. merely estimate the
speed without timing themselves. and
according to official observations they
usually inrn top slowly and lose from 2
to 30 per cent OF the butter fat. A

CALDWELL TAKES Y
CAME FROM ONTARIO

! The fastest game Of baseball seen
in Ontario for number of years, was
played last Sunday between Caldwell
and Ontario, Caldwell winning by the
score Of 2 to 1.
Alexander, a well known box artist
to the local fans, was in great form,
holding the Ontario boys to five hits,
the only run scored off of him was
when Smith hit for two bases, and
came home; when Bates let Chap
mans fast ball get away from him.
Ontario scored their first and only
run in the first inning, after two
were down. Caldwell scored one in
the seventh, and one in the eighth
on errors by Koapal and Higgins.
Lingreen, the pitcher, looks like a
find. He has everything on the ball.
Sunday was his first workout for
the season, and little more practice
will make him as good as any in the
league.
The local boys played a good class
Of ball, for SO early in the season, and
IL all the games are like the one
played Sunday the fans will have no
right to kick. Higgins, the old stand
by, was in the left garden, and looks
as good as always.
Next Sunday the league opens at
Boise, and the local boys are going
after the game. The crew works
every night until dark getting ready.
A pitcher will be here by then.
