CABBAGE STORING is SIMPLE
cheapIy Constructed Bank or Hillside
Root Cellar Is Only Shelter
Needed-keep Place Cool.

By X. A. KIRKPATRICK. Minnesota
Experiment Station)
Cabbage storing is rather simple
and easy. The shrinkage is small. A
cheaply constructed bank or hillside
root cellar, or a basement under al
most any farm building. is the only
storehouse necessary This should not
be too dry and should be place
which could be kept at a temperature
of about 40 or so degrees in the early
part of the season. This is often ac-
complished by opening the doors to let
in the cool night air and closing them
to keep out the warmer air during the
remainder of the day. Later. of course.
the doors must be kept closed contin-
uously.
In storing. most growers place the
heads in cellar with all leaves and
roots attached. Many market garden.
ers have a better plan. They cut of
the stalk as though preparing the
heads for market, but leave two or
three rough leaves to protect the more
tender parts. They then pack in or
binary cabbage crates and rack these
crates up, leaving a gangway every
third or fourth tier for air circula
tion.
This work is not particularly diff
cult, and will certainly pay the grow
er well if it increases the selling price
of his production eight or tenfold. Fol-
the last few years, it has been market
ed and harvested at from S. to $3.50
ton. The purchaser has stored il
and sold 1t during the late winter fol
$50 or $50 ton.

Rifles In Armies.

Each army now fighting in Europe
uses rifle different from that used by
each of the others. The Russians
have the longest rifle, the French the
longest bayonet, while the Austrians
use the heaviest bullet. The rifles
with the largest calibers are those of
the French and the Austrians. The
German rifle attains the greatest muz.
zle velocity. The British have the
shortest rife, but with the -bayonet
added the weapon is longer than the
rifle and bayonet Of the Belgians and
Austrians.

WAR ON FOOT FAULT

Tennis Experts of America Will
Again Endeavor to Weed Out
This Evil.

The question OF foot faults becomes
very interesting TO the followers OF ten
mis- at this time when the players are
on the threshold of the season Foot
faults should De considered most seri-
ously with a view to amending the ways
OF the average tournament player. This
has been subject of much comment for
the last 20 years and a fruitful source
Of discussion. Despite efforts. officlal
and unofficial there We're as many foot
faults committed last season as ever.
Good resolutions have been made again
this winter and the secretary OF the u
S. N. L. T. A. announces that Every
effort TO bring about the careful observ-
anee OF this rule during the coming
playing season will be used by the FIX
eeutive Committee, which viii welcome
the cooperation OF all club offioers In
connection with tournaments held under

for its tournament a Foot Fault Commit

fully study and post itself as TO TIst
what constitutes foot fault and then

the legitimate interests of the game.
"The Executive Committee especially re-
quests that all clubs giving tournaments

HERE FOR ARGUMENT
WITH MACKIAN BUNCH
Sheehan, Who Beat Detroit
in His First Major
League Start, Will Pitch
for Athletics-Dubuc or
Steen Due.

Tom sheohan will pitch for the Ath-
leucs against Detroit this afternoon, ac-
eording to Manager Macks present plans.
In his first major league game, sheehan
tvirled against Detroit, and after great
exhibition Of pinch work, the youngster
won l-to-3 victory. sheehan retired
Cobb, Crawford and veach with witt on
second In the ninth inning Of this game,
and earned much praise from Detroit
scribes.
In his only local appearance sheehan
turned In a victory over st. Louis, and in
this game the Peoria recruit also showed
that he had an unusual amount Of grit.
He was in hot water in almost every
inning. but always pulled out through his
own cleverness.
The Tigers are battling for first place,
and the fans will have another chance to
see Ty Cobb going at his very best clip.
Cobb has been playing wonderful ball,
but his side partner, Sam Crawford. is
Just recovering from the longest batting
slump he has had In years. "wahoo
Sam" is due to make UP for lost time at
the expense Of Maok's youngsters.
Manager Jennings will depend on Jean
Dubuo today, II he is in form. Otherwise
Bill Steen, formerly of Cleveland, will
draw the pitching assignment. In either
case the Athletics are likely to have their
troubles getting base hits

PHILSN DOUBLE BILL

Twin Victory Today Would
Be Biggest Boost Yet for
Moran - Defeat Would
Threaten Real Toboggan
Slide.

CHICAGO August 4.-Pat Moran's
Phillies face their hardest day of the
present season this afternoon when they
grapple with the Cubs in a double-header.
After the two straight defeats suffered at
the hands of the Cubs, a double defeat
today would do much toward destroying
the confidence that has been largely re-
sponsible for the lead enjoyed by the
Phlls up to the present time,
An even break today is as good as
Moran can hope for, and that will give
Chicago three out of four for the series,
double win for the Phillies would be
the greatest event Of the year for the
Phils, and II they can pull out two vic
tories they are almost certain to come
home in first place II they can do this
the pennant chances will be brighter
than ever.
Grover Cleveland Alexander. who has
lost two games in a row despite the fact
that he turned in four and five hit games,
will go back at Bresnahan's team this
afternoon, according to Manager Moran's
present plans. and It is likely that the
Philly leader will start working AleXan-
der out of turn until the Phillies shake
the Braves and Dodgers Off
Eppa Rixey or AL Demaree viii be on
the mound In the other game. while
Bresnahan VIII depend on Bert Humph-
rles and Jimmy Lavender unless he de-
cides to send Larry Cheney back to re-
peat. Cheney has proved a troublesome
man for the Phils to date.

Which is one reason why like Pitts

given her chance. She hasn't been fg-
ured. Yet here she is after nearly four
months play, within a short step of the
top--piking along, holding her own and
getting up speed at the proper moment.
And YOU can figure this in also: The
Braves, Phillies and Dodgers spend most
of their time now on the road. And none
OF them has been any too good out of
the range of home cooking. But the
Pirates stay at home this trip until Au-
gust H. Then they take a short Jump
East, where they have played well this
season-and then move back home on
September l. From that date they play
