FEED OUT YOUR HOGS
SIX WEEKS EARLIER

In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three fatten quickly and actually eat
less than others If all would fatten
like these, the entire drove would be
ready for the market six weeks earlier,
and to save six weeks feed is an item
that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must be
in prime physical condition. The B. A.
Thomas Hog Powder is a conditioner
for hogs. 1t keeps their system clean
and healthy and enables them to fat
ten quickly without falling a prey to
the usual diseases of hogs. The B. A.
Thomas is not stock food. It's straight
medicine, and we took the agency be-
cause it enables you to feed out your
hogs much earlier.-Denham G. Co..

of diplomatic discussion between this
country and Great Britain. If cotton
is placed on the contraband list by
the allies, the President is going to be
brought under the fire at once of the
prO-German elements all over the
country and the cotton extremists in
the South and his course will be an
extremely difficult one to chart.

WELLESLEY GIRLS
ORGANIZE BASEBALL
TEAMS FOR SEASON

Boston, March 2-Organized base
ball, to supplant the outlaw article of
former years. is on the schedule for
Wellesley this year. No more trad
ing OF players for box of bonbons
or a pair of matinee tickets for Wei
lesley. There will be a varsity team,
ball players lin the enrolment and
ball players in the enrolment and
sanctioned by the faculty. Miss Lo-
mic L. Smith of New Orleans, a mem
Der Of the junior class, is varsity cap
tain.
In the old days when baseball for
girls was in its infancy, the college
maids of Wellesley had a number of
scrub teams that. played one another.
Some fast feminine material was de-
veloped, but the conduct of the games
was more or less chaotic. So this year
Wellesley will cast it's lot with or
ganized baseball.
Captain Miss Smith will be in con-
troll of collegiate baseball at the girls
college, and what she says viii go.
The call for candidates will be given
New England permit, for the WeIles-
southern training trip with their aca-
denfc duties to attend to.
The day may be not far distant
when WeIIesley's varsity nine will
play regular contest with the teams
from Vassar, Smith and Barnard,
where baseball is also conducted
under an organized system, but the
gate receipts will probably not be
large until the regulation against the
presence of men at the games is re-
scinded.

.HARRICAN WANTS
NOISES BANNED
NEAR HOSPITALS.


A plan to establish quiet areas
about the hospital in this city was in
PRODUCED in the common council by
Alderman d. p Harrigan last nj ght.5
The alderman proposed an ordinance
that signs be posted In the streets
around and near the hospitals reading
as follows: Hospital street. All un-
necessary noises forbiddens, The all
derman also proposed that the sound
ing of trolley car bells, automo bile
horns calling Of pedd1ers or huck-
sters and loud or boisterous CONVEX
Sation be forbidden in the areas desig-
mated as hospital streets Alderman
Harrigan said that patients in both st.
vincent's and the Bridgeport hospi-
tails had been disturbed much of late
by the noises which he wished to have
stopped.
After the meeting the alderman
said; "Other cities have. such aoRdir-
ances and it is time that we got up
todate. Last Sunday I was at St Vim
cents hospital when part oftthe fire
apparatus dashed by sounding horns
and bells, and making a great and un-
necessary racket. There is wide
street at this point, no intersecting
streets, and there was nothing in the
way Of the apparatus. All the pa
tents who heard this were much up
set by it,. Some thought the hospital
was on fire.

unfortunate enough to require treat
m ent at these institutions something
should be done to insure them quiet"

MAGE REPORTS TO
BRAVES AND GEORGE
WHIT TED MAY LEAVE

washington, D. C., March "A
hitch has arrived in the deal where
by Eddie Fitzpatrick of the Toronto
club was to come to the Braves. Orig
fnally the player was to have joined
the Eastern. division of the. Boston
club at Philadelphia. But on Satur-
day Fitzpatrick decided to see Pres
ident McCaffreY of the Toronto club,
The reason lies in the now known
fact that the player demands half of
the purchase price for his release to
Boston.
SO much is known of the matter.
Until the player's demands are salts
fed, or some arrangement is made to
suit him, it is doubtful if he, will join
the Braves. This was one surprise
journey.
No transportation has been sent to
George Whitfield, the utility inf1e1der
Of the Braves. It is understood that
there is a strong likelihood of his go
ing to the Phillies in completion of
the Magee deal, which is the major
reason for the action in the matter OF
failing to send him transp ortation by
the Boston club.
Joe Connolly, who Joined the
troupe at. Providence last night, is
about 10 pounds overweight after a
winter Of hunting and farming. The
Woonsocket champion came close to
period at least, by starting in on his
training at home.
Joe still has a leg broken the sea-
son before last to remember, and he
had a forcib1e reminder of it last
Friday, when he began a course OF
running laps around his house He
failed to notice a hole in the ground
and before he realized it was down
with his foot twisted His mother
helped to carry him into the house,
where. first aid was applied.
Joe found the leg numbing rapid
~ and for a while had visions of be-
Ing obliged to forego the trip south.
But during Saturday inprovefne emit
was SO rapid sin the condition of the
tender limb that by the time he
started for the train there was no
sysnptom left of the accident. Sd
Joseph may be considered o. K. in
all respects.
At Philadelphia Sherwood Magee
was given a send off by quite a throne
Of fans. He came aboard bubbhne
over with satisfaction to be- among
hts new brethren. He, like Teddy
Gathers, who joined the crew at Wesi
Philadelphia, is apparently pretty
well down to weight already. Magee
announced in emphatic terms that he
never felt better in his life, and thai
he will only need a. week to be in
complete readiness for the start OF
| the season. He has neither gained
nor lost a full pound he says, since
the close of last season.

NEW YORK AMERICANS OFFER
$4,000 FOR FRANK BAKER
Connie Mack Asks $50, 900 for Release

j. Franklin Bakers playing third
base for the Yankees and doing a
similar turn for the Athletics or Gull
tivating cante1oupes down in Trappe.
Md.
Colonel Jacob Rupert yesterday at

GIANTS May
SECURE DOAK
or ST. LOUIS

Marlin Tex, March 2.-Vague ru-
mors of a deal between the New York
and ST. Louis clubs preceded John j.
McGraw into the training camp of the
Giants yesterday, and though officially
al1ayed by Manager McGraw they con-
tinue to circulate with marvellous rap-
idity. McGraw's delayed arrival and
the sudden departure of Scout Dick
Kinsella yesterday afternoon for parts
unknown served only to thicken the
mystery.
No doubt McGraw has a good reason
for holding off publicity if a, trade is
really pending. The rumors spring
from the fact that Miller Higgins and
several of the. Cardinals rode from ST.
Louis to Texarkana on the same train
way to training grounds at San An
tonic. McGraw and Higgins were
naturally relating their troubles to
each other. Their conversation and
subsequent events have convinced the
sleuth there is something doing.
The story that was most persistently
retold here last night is that McGraw
has a chance to bolster his pitching
staff by acquiring Willie Doak of the
Cardinals in a. trade. It is not known
whether Doak is baking at the pros
pect of another year in st. Louis, or
has a salary grievance, but the fact
remains that he would be a big help
to McGraws list of uncertain slab
candidates.
Doak was one of the most effective
right handlers in the National league
last season. He allowed few hits or
runs per game and won steadily when
the Cardinals were. fighting for the
pennant It is not even surmised here
who might be traded for him. but sew
era1 athletes are hoping>the will not
be transferred to ST. Louis.
1t is understood that Doak has not
reported at San Antonio and it mas
not be unreasonable to suppose that
KinseHa. is on his way to Pittsburgh,
where the pitcher lives. IF such is the
case Higgins has given his permission
for the opening of negotiations. After
all it may not be Doak who is sought
and maybe there is no mystery. Some
thing should develop within the nexi
two days.

TCHlE IN

Ritchie realizes that if he is to get

in his coming ten-round bout with

in these hard war times is there even
$16, 600 difference between the values
of Baker and Maise1 to the New York
club.
Bakers so-cal1ed retirement was
brought about by an unwillingness to
play for $500 a yea-the salary for
which his contract calls. He knows
that there isn't a. chance in the world
of getting any more money out of
Mack and so he decided to stick on
the farm until Connie got some team
that would be willing to pay him his
price Baker is willing to take the
field for a. salary Of So, 700. but Colo
mel Rupert will give him $4,000
if he should come here.
1t may be that in order to get Ba-
ker New York will have to lose Maisel.
Mack thinks the world of Fritzie, who
in many ways is even faster than Ed
die Collins. In his first year in the
big show, Fritz stole IA bases and he
got on only about 21o times, while
Collins stole So bags, and got on
something like 285 times. Maisel
ought to do even better this season,
and should improve his hitting. His
average last year was .239, while that
of Baker was ais and he stole only 10
bases.
