il. you. want to be kind, borrow golt
term and call ii. a mental hazard. The
pitcher does not live who shoots ur
curves all the, time. Therefore, the
batsman who possesses good eye and
steady nerves. no matter which side
of the plate he hits from, can wait, fol
the fast one and pickle it, if he fears
the Blenders. Or. he may set himself
for the curve and whang that If II
breaks over the plate. He knows the
curve will either break toward him OF
away from him, depending on the side
of the plate he is batting from and the
arm the finger is using
Pitchers like Alexander and johnson
battle 1eft-handers as easily as right
handlers, while batsmen of the Cobt
and Daubert' class get their hits of
southpaws as well as the right-handet
twirlers
But the left-hander has not haen
heard. He admits that he bats on the
near side of the plate, but does moi
admit that this gives him anything
like a two-yard advantage in running
to first. He says that what little ad-
vantage there may be is Offset by the
fact that if he swings around on the
ball SO that his body is turned toward
first he hits to that side Of the fiia,
nond, which means that if it is an in.
field grounder the throw to the initial
bag is shorter and easier.
The left-hander contands that when
he does hit on the third base side OF
the diamond he must swing late and
that throws him off his balance so IL IL
even harder for him to turn and head
for first 'thanait is for the right hander
who fs facing in that direction when he
takes his swing. And there you are
people; there you are.
Personally. wesrather favor the argu.
ment of the. right handed batsman. Or
at least rs per cent of the sinfelt
grounders the left-handed clubbel
should have an advantage. lust how
much of an advantage 1t is we will moi
attempt to say. But If 1t Is one step

1t is 10-to-1 shot that Mike will

Fair Sex Cannot Hope to Beat Men, But Can
Improve Their Game, Says Great Net
Star in This Weeks Article.

ing in the various events, and they en-
ter with q true. tennis spirit They
play more for the sake of the game and
less for effect; In other words, it is a
matter Of greater concern to the aver
age girl to acquire a forehand like that
Of Mrs Chambers than is the question
| whether a blue or a pink silk sweater
sets her off more becomingly upon the
| court. II is just because so many la
dies on the other side adopt this sensi-
the attitude Of undertaking that
what the game holds for them is de-
serving of more than a mere passing
| "par1or" intereSt-that so many excel.
Their style Of game is almost entirely
a back-court game. In fact, this fea-
| ture is typical of ladies' tennis in gen.
eral, for it is in exceedingly rare in
| stances that one sees the net game
! anywhere near successfully developed
| in a woman. Once again the fact of
| physical limitation enters in to explain
; this. OF the great players have known
| in the world, Mrs. Wightman stands
practically alone as an exponent of net
| playing in the real sense OF the word !;
| the rest are wonderfully proficient in
ground strokes.
Larcombe stood out most prominently
of those I observed. Certainly they
have brought the back court game up
to a more marvellous degree of skill
| than any ladies I have ever seen, with
the exception of Mrs. Bundy, who has
no equal. Their drives are played in
beautiful form with full-arm swing
and a fine follow through" They put
no top" on the ball, as Mrs. Bundy
does. and so it takes a very straight
deep fight, just Swimming the net, that
is delight to watch.
Although tennis Is such strenuous
sport, 1t should have many attractive
features for the women of the United
States. No other game can surpass 1t
for ail-around physical development
but it, also is a stimulant to mental
activity. Considered from the more
esthetic side. it is graceful game;
and country clubs well kept courts,
especially il of grass, furnish the most
attractive type of battle-ground. It is
a. "clean" game, demanding the finest
craftsmanship. with no wrangling, and
it calls for that concentration Of mind
to which women have of late laid just
claim. May ] even be allowed to say
that woman has prided herself. upon
her strategy in the past, and that ten
mis- requires just such a gift?
Once let the merely ornamental side
OF the game lose some Of. it's appeal for
the feminine phalanx, and the realiza-
ton that hard work is a necessity in
developing the strokes that 'look so
easy" take its place, and we shall have
a higher average Of ladies' tennis in
America.

Why they persist in printing that tho

remains that Wilbert Robinson when
with the old Orioles made seven hits In
a nine-inning game. Six hits L. there
fore not the record in the majors. nor
is IL the record for all classes OF ball,
for a couple of years ago in the Kitty

seven times up. However. six Is some
record and George Cutshaw. who per-
formed the feat in the game OF August
8. has a lot Of credit coming to him.
Brooklyn made twenty three hits on
the Chicago pitchers that day, SO 1t can
be seen that the batting w&s easy. A
really more notable batting record wac
that of Gavvy Cravath Of the Philltes
in the game at Cincinnati the day be-
fore. when he hit four two-baggers and
was responsible for the scoring Of elev.

ing three himself. On two occasions
he hit his doubles with the bases full.
Elliott Dent did not last long with

Last week he was released. In order

LABORATORY SEED
TERMINATION.

1t may be of interest to agriculturists
and seedmen to know how seeds are
tested as to their vitality, and to know
the necessity of such test.
While sample of seed may look
clean and no discoloration may have
occurred, yet the vitality may be low,
due either to age or perhaps climatic
conditions and this can be determined
only by a termination test.
When sample of seed is received
at the United States seed laboratory,
two tests of one hundred seeds each,
taken promiscuously from the bulk,
are made, then the average germina-
ton of these is obtained
The sub-stratum upon which they
are terminated may be a plotting
paper of certain color, cloth pad, or
perhaps both. Some are covered, some
left uncovered, while others. have a
Siooo Jai PldCCU OVCl Iucul,
1t is the purpose of the laboratory to
obtain as mean natural condition as
is possible in regard to temperature,
sub-stratum, and moisture conditions.
To do this, various terminating cham
bers are used, that the seeds may be
placed in the proper temperature to
obtain the best conditions for germi-
nation. During the day the tempera-
ture is kept at 80 degrees or IS de.
grees c. according to the requirement,
and at night all seeds are kept at 20
degrees C, about an average normal
nightly temperature.
Some seeds such as beets require
several hours soaking before being put
into the termination chamber, and
again others show better termination
if they have been put on ice few
hours before termination. = Miss NJ

In most cases where studies on the

particularly in our oldest agricultural
districts, such studies indicate that the
most successful farms are those which
have from two to four major sources

certain instances it may pay better to
have only one enterprise, but usually
when one crop pays much better than
all others the production of it increases

We've said so before, but we say 1t
again, that we do not appreciate as
fully as we should the fact that feeding
is more importatn than breeding. We
have seen many high-priced bull
degenerate into scrub through lack
of feed and care, and this thing is
going to continue until we realize that
all the breeding in the world can never
atone for poor feeding and poor man
agement. An animal may be good, but
it will remain SO only so long as it is

farming is often confused with farming
where there is a little of everything
and not much of anything. Either ex-
