SCHEDULE SHOWS SOX
TO Be MUCH FAVORED
Enthusiasm Is Rampant In the
Hub, Where Tigers and Red
Sox Clash.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES.


BOSTON, Sept. 1s.-The utmost
Hughey Jennings Tigers can do Is
to leave Boston in second place.
Even by taking the next two games,
The Jungaleers will be . fraction
Of q game behind the leaders, and
from then on until the curtain rings
down, everything favors the Red
Sox. '..
The arrangement q the schedule
is heavily in Boston's favor. The
Tigers when they leave Boston must
tackle the Athletics and the Griff-
men to wind up their schedule. The
Red Sox have sixteen games to
play--six of which are with Cleve-
land, three with the Browns and
five with the Yankees-all weak
teams. So, even should the Ben.
gals win all their remaining games,
the dope" would still favor Boss
Carrigan's red-legged aggregation.
Boston. however. wants these next
two games; and wants them badly:
Fenway Park for the last two games,
and a Saturday crowd Of 5000 . ex-
pected today. The royal rooters." who

BY LOUIS A. DOUGHER.


Turner Barber will be back in the
lin-up Of the Griffmen today, and
the chances are that he will remain
there, at least through the coming
series next week with the Chicago
White Sox. Barber's impressive
hitting, coupled with his excellent
throwing has caused Manager Grif-
fifth to bench Moeller and play the
Winston Salem recruit gardener.
George Dumont will pitch Mon
days game. 1t S unfair to criticise
his performance yesterday against
the Brownies, according to Manager
Griffith, as the Fargo finger work

tice, and was tired when called
upon to relieve Mayer.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Digestive troubles ars frequently notice
able in chickens, and for this reason, char
coal should always be kept in front of
them. 1t tends largely to prevent these
disturbances.
Don't neglect to place few crystals of
permsnganate of potash in the drinking
water at least every other day. Il helps
wonderfully in keeping the hens in con
ditions and this is very important to 3
good egg yield.
Dry mash foods are better than hot
ones, particularly during these cold morn
ings, unless you keep the fowls confined
for q period after partaking of it. Feed
ing hot mashes and liberating the birds
at once often causes them to take cold.
Remember at this season OF the year to
keep the oats sprouting apparatus going at
all times. Operate it so that the sprouied
grain can be given the birds every day.
This ie a highly important feed in the
production of winter eggs The hens can
not be given too much of it, especially at
this 6parficulaF season of the year. It Is
