BIG LIVE STOCK YEAR
FOR The SOUTHWEST
Best In Halt a Century, Says
Government Expert.

Hereford, Tex.-This is to be the
greatest year for stockmen of the south
west In half a century. according to
DIR. George A. Lipp of the bureau OF
animal industry Of the department Of
agriculture, who recently made a tour
of parts OF Texas and New Mexico.
Taken as n whole. last winter was
hard on both cattle and sheep" says
Or. Lipp. but the loss has been com
paratively small, less even than in less
severe winters, because the stockman
has learned how to take care of his
stock. They have come to realize that
they must feed; that winter range
alone will not produce the income TO
which they are entitled.
Cattle and sheep are worth too much
these days TO lose. Ewes are worth
$3.50 a head and wool Is likely To be
worth is to % cents n pound this year.
The prospects for a big spring crop of
lambs Is better than II has been for a
long time. Ii would take Il miracle to
prevent the stockman of the southwest
making some money this year. There
Is very little scab and little infection on
the open range"
Conditions in the western part of
New Mexico and in Arizona have not
been good. particularly among the
Moqui and Navajo Indians. who have
been heavy losers OF sheep from cold
weather and deep snow The govern
ment has begun the erection of wind
mills on the Indian reservations of New
Mexico and Arizona TO foster the live
stock industry.

the possible exception of the Braves.
Everything at the start OF the sea-
son was in their favor, and Gotham
fans settled back for a long season
of battling between McGraw's clan
and the Braves for the pennant On
dope they were the only ones who
stood a show of getting in the Oc-
tober classes.
The teams are turning into the
home stretch today, with the worlds

of the dopesters and bettors are
scrambling their brains trying TO de-
eide which 20 lay their shekeIs on
Brooklyn or Philadelphia
The Giants haven't had much hard
luck-as hard luck goes. accidents
and such. True they have had bad
luck, but McGraw has won pennants
IN the race OF far heavier odds than
he has had to face this season. He
had a team of veterans last March
that had stood up under the fire and
gaif of many gruolling pennant races,
and they were al going gocd There
were a few signs of cracks Mathew
son had had enc of his best seasons,
as had Tesreau. The erratic Mar
guard had finished a fair season, and
according to the way Rube has run
since he broke into the big show. he
should have been due for a whale Of
a season in 1915. Backing them up
were Stroud, Schupp, and Schauer, a
trio of mighty likely looking young
sters.
There was a hole at third base. a
gaping one left by Tilly Schafer's
retirement. McGraw vent out and
grabbed Hans Lobert who batted .275

and was listed as one of the fastest

Intentional PASS
loses MANY Games

This intentional pass stunt is get
ting its bumps on the Phillies field.
Alexander passed Safer the other day
and the pass beat the Phils. In the
second game Wednesday Schneider
was trying to pass Niehoff to get
at Burns and Niehoff reached out and
smashed the ball hard enough to
drive il against the fence, and the
drive sent in the runs that won the
game for the Phils. Yesterday in
the eighth session with Niehoff on
second and two down, Dale was or
dered to pass Killifer and take a
chance on Mayer. Dale got two balls
by and then Kiliifer reached out and
connected with the third one on the
end of his bat and il rolled to MoIl-
witz who was too surprised to pick
II up. After Killifer purloined sec
ond. Mayer banged out the hit that
scored the extra pair of runs. Some
times this intentional passing don't
look like good business. Here are
three instances in which the play
went wrong. although there are many
times it doesn't go wrong.

Giant officials have denied this, but
it's a safe bet that if they don't pick
up in their work by the last of the
season there's going to be some new
talent floating around the Polo
Grounds.
McGraw also has crow to pick
with the umpires. John never was
original.
"The National League has seen
the rottenest umpiring in its history
this season" he said recently. There
Z is but one competent umpire in the

George Burns is another player

Burns stole 60 bases and batted over
