COmIskEY is PRAISED
inventor Of Means of Defense
That Shocked Old Timers.
Owner Of Chicago White Sox Taught
Pitchers and Second Basemen to
Be Ready to Cover First Base
Tactics Now Used.

If we look back a few years, says
st. Louis baseball scribe, we will
agree that no department of the game
has changed like the playing of first
base unless possibly it is the pitching.
There was a time in baseball when
hitting superseded everything else in
connection with playing the game. A
heavy hitter was the first player Sc
lected. 1t did not matter much if he
could handle grounders or catch fly,
ii he could only do execution with a
hickory stick he was "the best boy
wanted and considered the best play
er in the bunch.
Roger Conner, Captain Arson, Dan
Brouthers, Dave Orr, Al McKinnon
and John Morrill, were all sluggers
of the old school and were hired for
their ability to hit the ball. Fielding
wgs made second consideration. A
first baseman was simply expected to
catch what balls were thrown into
his hands, but as to the idea of his
covering ground around first base,
that was not considered at all. If the
ball was not thrown directly into his
hands the other fellow got the error.
He was needed to make home runs
and in number of other ways make

learning. Return tickets are always
supplied, and most of them used. Con-
ME always gives them . fair show,
too. A good example Of this was
seen recently when the New Workers
were playing the Mackmen a double
header.
Mack started young collegian
named Haas on the mound. The Yanks
drew 10 hits and 16 bases on balls
Off the youngster and walloped the
Philadelphia, Is to 7. Yet Mack
didn't take the kid out-he let him
stick and take his medicine. The kid,
though, used his return ticket to
Worcester academy that night.
That same day, however, Mack drew
what looks to be a diamond in the
rough. He is young collegian named
Crowell from Brown. Pitching his
first professional game, he let the
Yanks down with three hits, but lost
by the tough-luck score of 80, when
his mates kicked the game away.
There is probably another reason
why Mack is laboring so diligently
to build up new machine-he wants
to give some Of his knockers the big
guffaw-those who knocked him fol-
lowing the series with the Braves.
The roar of the multitude still Is sweet
to the tall leader, too, and it doesn't
seem right to him that he should be
completely out in the cold as far as
praise is concerned.

SUMMER CARE FOR THE CALF
Unless Young Animals Are Kept Crow
ing During First Year Final
Development Is Retarded.

(By r. M. WASHBURN, Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station.)
The first year of a calf's life Is the
most important with respect to its
growth. Unless animals are kept
growing during this period their final
development will be much retarded,
and the chances are they never will
reach the scale which their inherit
ance would give them.
On the best regulated dairy farms
calves are born in the autumn and
early winter, and they should receive
skim milk in moderate quantities
through much, or all, of the summer
following birth. On farms having hand
separators there is no difficulty in
providing the sweet milk for calves,
morning and evening; but farmers
who patronize whole-milk creameries
or who still skim by hand should re-
member that after the first few weeks
milk for calves should either be thor
oughly sweet or fully sour, that the
most dangerous condition is the half
sour stage. II milk Is fed to calves
when it is in this changing condition
1t is almost certain to cause indiges-
ton. It should not be half sour, nor
sour one day and sweet the next, but
always one or the other.
Clean feeding pals must be used,
otherwise the germs of fermentation
and diarrhea will be brought to the
infant COW from the slime of the dirty
drinking dish, and with young calves
II ID important that the temperature
at which the milk is fed be nearly
that OF the body. Older animals may
receive milk Of the temperature of
the WITHHOLDING tank.
While It is very important that |
heifers should have free access to |
pasture during the second summer, to
develop strong bodies, the calf need
not have pasture the first summer. In
fact, for calves born after the first |
Of the year, pasturing may be a dis
advantage. Most young calves in this
are better off chewing tender
hay in the quiet and half-dark stable
than fighting flies, painting from the
heat, and cropping tough grass In the
pasture.

Slowly and laboriously, but withal
cheaply, Connie Mack is building a
chassis for a new machine. His mate
rial is costing him nothing, and all
the elongated leader is out is the time
he puts in training in the way it would
shoot.
By this same simple method, Mack
built up the most famous machine in
two decades-the late lamented Ath-
lethics-only to see it cough, splutter,
and finally go headlong into the ditch
in October, 1914. Mack, it will be re-
membered, paid practically nothing
for Collins, McInnis, Barry and
Baker, the four members of the far
famed 100000 infield." One cog
netted him $4,000, which was practi-
cally so much clear profit, and but for
the defalcation of ]. Franklin Baker, the
Athletics stockholders probably
would have stuck another $4,000 in
their pockets.
So these hot summer days find the
famous leader in exactly the same
position he was in the days of 1908
and 1909, when the Tigers were on
the topmost pinnacle of fame-labori-
ously building and planning for the fu-
ture.
There has been . constant flow Of
college and semi-pro boys through

died by Command That Was
Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition is
strong AS Chief Boatswain McCar-
thy, u. s. NJ, has shown in an article In
1.-THE Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to GUS
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions, and even, in the
old navy. at least, it extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular Of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the officer
who did not know that usually got poor
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order.
On one occasion, the officer Of the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate, scrub down with
rapidly" This was a new one, and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswain's
mate became desperate. He grabbed
deck bucket, and forced 1t into the
hand of the nearest apprentice, whom
he started on his way with push that
sent the youngster Keeling, and fol-
lowed him with this shout:
go to the captain of the hold and
ask him for a bucketful of it! I never
heard of anything to scrub deck with
but sand and lime, and don't know
anything about these new 'soogy-
anyway."-Youths Com

now. Before he joined the Wash

was touted as having struck out

tip came from some enthusiast
who was exaggerating and we
