Champions Rarely Succeed in
Picking PugiIisfic Winners

when Jack had an interview in the
arena with Jack Johnson the big
smoke played with him and then
knocked him out. Jack afterward
made a nice fortune as a miner so it
was probably lucky for him that
things happened as they did.
Jim Corbett has also had bad luck
in picking pugilistic winners. but he
isn't discouraged, as evidenced by his
recent discovery" or a young Eng
lishman who he thinks will be viii
lard's successor. In other days Gen
tleman jim" tried to make a cham
pion OF his brother Joe. Later he
picked up an unknown who was
going to wipe up the pugilistic map.
and he also publicly expressed pro
found belief that N''-o Schreck would
develop into a wonder. 4 4

Beware ofFake Baseball Pools

shows names scattered over no less
than six States.
Some revelations of the size and
scope of the Keystone Company were
brought to light in the trial which ex-
posed the working of the colossal
swindle.
We quote from the sworn evidence
as produced in that trial, when the
superintendent of the printing con
Germ which did all the printing for
the syndicate was undergoing cross
examination:
What was the average number of
lottery slips and tickets printed for
the Keystone?" MI
1T ranged from $4,000 to $4,000
three times a week"
How many tickets did you print
weekly for the Keystone Pool?"
well, the highest for a week was
100000"
We'll. what was the average weeks
quantity?"
They started at about 10000 a
week and kept increasing every
week"
In passing. it is we'll to mentor
that the gross receipts from these
tickets at thirty cents apiece was. fol
the highest week, $4,000.
President Dreyfus, of the Pittsburgh
club, said in the Baseball Magazine
We investigated and found thai
the pools were getting more money
out OF Pittsburgh than the Pittsburgh
ball club. In one week we estimated
as nearly as We could on the actua
figures that they absorbed thirty
thousand dollars from that one city
We also investigated and found tina
a considerable number of alleged
prize winners didn't live at the ad
dresses that appeared or were miss
ing from the city directory or hadn'
received any prize money. One o
the worst features of all these pools
Is that even with the heavy odd
against him that are the nature of ,
lottery the purchaser OF one of tn,
lying tickets doesn't get fair chanc,
TO win. He has members of the con
cern TO compete against and all kind
of crooked work TO contend with. s.
that the prizes which are actual
given are the smaller ones ana in n
case the larger amounts alleged il

Fans playing in public baseball
pools will do well to read how they
are "stung" The September Baseball
Magazine has an article exposing the
crooked work. We quote part of the
magazine article:
A gambling spirit seems TO have
seized upon the national game. In
many parts of the country colossal
syndicates, lotteries or pools have
sprung up. attained a mushroom
growth, sucked a tainted fortune out
of the life blood of the game and
withered away in the nerce glare of
the legal retribution, only to be sue
ceeded by other syndicates elsewhere.
So widespread is the evil so menac-
ing in its scope, that the concerted
effort of baseball. aligned with law
and order, is imperatiyely required to
preserve the game from that same
malignant influence which has
blighted so many other favorite
sports.
Honest baseball pools are no new
thing They exist in a small and
amateur scale in almost every Office
building in every hamlet in the coun-
! try. It has become a habit with
young men to set apart nrty cents OF
a dollar a week of their savings to
place in a pool with their associates
the whole sum going, at the end OF
the week. to the fortunate Individual
who selected the team scoring the
greatest number of runs. This Gus
tom is rather mild symptom Of a gen
eral love Of risk and chance which
reaches a far more sinister form in
the patronage of public pools.
But fake public pools the open, law
defying swindles Of the professional
gamblers. merit no such passive in
difference. These pools. like poison
Gus grovths, have no proper place In
the sphere of the game, but rather
batten upon its public popularity anc
confidence. and in the end tend tc
break down and destroy the sole
structure Of the sport itself Sucl

DAIRY
FACTS
LOW TEMPERATURE IS BEST
Churn Should Not Contain More Than
Two-Thirds of Its Capacity to
Insure Good Butter.

When ready to churn care should be
taken not to put too much cream In
the churn. The churn should not con
tain more than two-thirds of its capac.
Ity. Much weak and short-bodied but
ter is caused by overlooking the churn
and churning at the wrong tempera-
ture. Salvy, notified and streaked
butter is often due to an uneven tenn
perature of the wash water used dur
ing the working process. A good bod
led butter is usually inspired by low
temperature, but high temperature is
almost sure to cause a weak bodied
product
Sometimes butter is difficult to
gather" especially when combined
churn is being used. The grain of the
butter seems to be worn out by the
mass of partly gathered butter pound
ing and pouring over the inside por-
tons of the churn and by the worker,
and when the butter is finally worked
1t is brittle and weak bodied.
Do not have the temperature of the
wash vary very much from that of the
butter, but if the butter comes at so
high a temperature as to make it soft,
the wash water must be cold enough
to harden the butter, SO that it will
bear working without overworking or
destroying the grain of the butter and
giving it salvy appearance.

PAIL AND STOOL COMBINED
Device Recently Invented Acts as Re-
ceptacie for Milk and Good
Seat for the Mixer.

In the dairy where the herd is OF
ter of getting around among the ami
mails at milking time is one of some
magnitude and anything of the nature
of an innovation, which will facilitate
this operation and at the same time
make for cleaner milk, will get well
come. A combined stool for the milk
er and receptacle for the milk has been
recently invented with this object. A
can somewhat larger than bucket
is supported on four legs and re-en-
forced for the purpose of supporting
the weight which it is called upon
to do. The top is covered and the
lid acts as a seat for the operator.
