noon, and another victory is expected.
now that the Mackmen have their eye
on the ball
In yesterdays game with the Cubs
hard hitting again was the feature. As
was the case Thursday Schang led with
the stick; yesterday ho had four hits
out of flve times up.
Kopf played in Jack Barrys position,
and he made two singles and a sacrifice
hit. McAvoy. who was behind the bat.
contributed pair of one-base knocks
and a sacrifice fly which duplicated the
stick work OF McInnis
On his single in the first inning, Schang,
by q great burst of speed, ran all the
way home when Williams let the ball
get away from him. Eddie Murphy set
q good example to his teammates in the
first inning. when he cracked liner far
over McLarry's head. Before the ball
could be returned to the plate he had
registered a home run.
vaughn, who shut out the Philltes with
out hit at Tampa in five innings last
Tuesday, did not have anything today
that could fool the Athletics. In five in
nInRs the White Elephants hammered the
lefthender's delivery for is safeties, and
"BigA Jim" also contributed base on
balls. Lavender held the Athletics to two
hits In four sessions.
The best part of the game from an Ath-
letic standpoint was the showing of My
ers. This big Highlander went on the
rubber in the sixth inning after Bresser
had held the enemy down to four hits in
five sessions. Myers gave six bases on
balls and made two wild pitches in the
first three out of four innings that he was
on the mound, but when he got the ball
near the plate the Cubs were unable to
touch the horsehlde to any extent.
Eighteen runs and II hits against Ira
Thomas squad was the showing the
Brooklyn Dodgers made yesterday in
their game at Daytona.

ARE RIVALS OF
LONG STANDING
tom" Tyrer and Wayne sutton
Have Played on Opposing Teams
for Ten Years

That rivalry of 10 years stand
ing can exist without affecting the
personal friendship between the
parties thereto has been demonstrate
ed in the case of tom" Tyrer, as
sistant coach at w. s. c., and Wayne
Sutton, who holds a similar position
at the U. of w. Tyrer and Sutton
have played on opposing football
teams as far back as either can re-
member both having started their
careers in Seattle, but the men are
today the very warmest of friends.
The men first started as oppon-
ents when they were playing on foot
ball teams at rival grammar schools
in Seattle, being pitted against each
other at the end positions. After
graduating from such company
Tyrer Joined the Seattle Athletic
club junior team, and was again pit
ted against Sutton, who was play
ing the opposite end position on the
Alki Point team. After year of
this rivalry both players entered
high school, Tyrer choosing Broad
way and Sutton Lincoln. Tom
played right end for three years and
Sutton held down the left extrem-
ity, so even here the men were play
ing against each other as they had
done for several years previous.
Opponents at College
After finishing the high school
courses both men entered college,
Tom at w. S. G. and Wayne at the
U. of w, and both made their posi-
tions on the football teams, playing
at the opposite positions for four
years. Now to cap the climax, both
of the rivals have accepted positions
as assistant coaches, Tyrer at w. S.
c. and Sutton at the u, and the old
rivalry, which dates back for 10
years, still exists.
The fact that they have been OPP
ponents for so long has served only
to cement more solidly the friend
ship that has existed between the
two men. Wayne is the best
friend l ever had" stated Tom when
the above story was being wrung
from him.

win their confidence, and show them
what they can do. II is pretty hard
to teach old dogs new tricks. Here
and there is farmer so set in his
ways that he is not amenable even
to suggestion, unless it come from
observation of some neighborins
farmer who has followed the sug-
gestion.
The county agent should put him
self in close touch with the schools
IN which these boys and girls can
get the kind of education that is
best for the farm-born. If he is
wise, he will get in touch with the
country church, its pastor and it's
members. For, as we have often
pointed out, there is more or less
close connection between prosper
Gus church and good farming, be-
tween good church life and good
farm life, and a good social life in
the community.
A college professor once COM
piained to us that these county
rgents were getting more money
than the professors. We said to
him, Yes, and rightly, too; for it
requi IS higher grade of clility to
do this work successfully" Stu
dents in the college are obliged to
attend the professors classes, and
submit to whatever markings he
gives them; but the farmer is not
obliged to seek the advice of the
county agent nor to follow mis- sug-
gestions. The county agent must be
able to win men, and winning men
is far different proposition from
pouring information into ears more
or less willing, information which
they are there to gain
All success to the county agent

THE COUNTY AGENT

In the last two or three years a
number of counties in each of the
more progressive agricultural states
have been sucuring what at first
were called county advisers. engag-
ing them for three to five years, and
paying them from $4,000 to $4,000
in the way of salary, plus travelling
expenses. 1t is pretty hard to find
a name to fit this class of helpers to
the farmer. The name adviser did
not seem to suit. The name expert
was not satisfactory; and the term
county agent has been commonly
adopted. This is not exactly fitting,
either, for this person is really a
farm doctor. Like all good doctors,
his work is that of prevention rather
than cure. The county agent is paid
in part by the government and in
part by funds raised by subscription.
He visits any farm in the county
where the farmer wants his advice
or his suggestions.
We want to emphasize the value
of the county agent, provided he is
fit for the work Some have not
been a success, possibly not their
fault, but rather the fault of farmers
who opposed the movement, or who
have been unwilling to seek his help.
1t is really a very difficult position,
and one requiring a variety of gifts
that seldom fall to the lot of one
man.
In the first place, he must have
the farm viewpoint. That means
that he must be farm-born, or at
least have had sufficient farm ex-
perience TO enable him to get that
viewpoint which is seldom obtained
except by the farmborn. He requires
an agricultural education, and back
of that the common horse sense that
enables a successful man TO slough
off and forget the seaffolding OF that
education, and test what is LETT with
the acid test of farm experience
backed by good common sense. 1t
is of the utmost importance that he
be a good mixer with farmers, which
he can not be if he is narrow-minded
or opinionated or unacquainted with
the viewpoint of the farm.
He must be an adept at sugges-
ton. and must realize that farmers
can not be forced into anything by
argument. but are amenable to sug-
gestions, if they come from man
who is in sympathy with them and
their work. While his main bust
ness is to prescribe for sick farms
and make in an acceptable way sug-
gestions for improvements, he must
be able to go farther than that. He
must get in touch with farm boys,
