Praises Spirit
of the Robins
Brooklyn Catcher Explains Why
Flatbush Nine Is Out
in Front.
By FRANK O'NElLL.

The Brooklyn Robins are all ready to
crown themselves champions of the Ma
tional League. Fighting through the
last weeks Of the waning season, Rob-
b:e's men are out in the lead by what
appears to be a comfortable margin.
They are more than confident that
nothing can stop them from winning
now. and are turning their attention to
the Boston Red Sox. who are regarded
rs probable winners in the American
League contest. The same optimism
felt and expressed by Captain Jake
Daubert last week on the outcome Of
the battle for the championship of the
baseball world was reiterated by Chief
Meyers. the big Indian catcher of the
Brooklyn team, yesterday afternoon.
There is mathematical possibility
of our losing the pennant," said the
Chief in response 10 the question
How do you regard the pennant
chances Of the team - but there is lit
tie probability Of It. There is a GER
tain confidence inspired by being out IN
the lead, and we have held our position
in front practically since May !. Forg-
ing 10 the fore on that date, we dropped
again on May 3. but swept right back,
and were there until May 20. Once
more we were ousted, but again re-
turned and set the pace until the
series against the Phillies early this
month

Confidence in Camp.

coincidence, indeed, is the keynote OF
the entire camp. No team ever rose to
the top without winning its position by
dint of hard fighting. We really
started our fight last year. The men
realized last season that they could
play winning baseball, and they played
it. This season they started out to i'm
prove upon the workings Of the prevl-
Gus year, and how well they have sue
ceeded all the baseball world knows.
We all believe that the same spirit VIII

League.
our confidence is not false feel
ing. We are not whistling 10 keep up
our courage in the dark, at all. We
have played steady ball throughout.
Ii is true that we did not flash here
and there as some Of the other teams
have done. We went right along, cut
ting out a pace that has worn down
our rivals and left us out in front.
Perhaps this failure TO flash at times,
70 embark on prOtracted winning
streaks, perhaps has caused some OF
the fans to lack confidence in US and
made them sit back waiting for US 20
crack. Well, We did not pile up any
runs Of consecutive victories like the
Giants and the Browns, but just the
same our longest losing streak this
season lasted through only five games.
zone Of the reasons for our success
is the harmony that prevails in this
club. In the course of the season, with
so many young fellows working hard
for success. arguments will often crop
up and i'll feeling result. There is
none of that on our team. The fellows
are all friends; all working for the
good of the team.
The physical assets Of our team
have been appraised many times, and
] am not going TO devote much time TO
them now. Suffice TO say that we are
in front. and the pitchers are going
right along on their merry little ways.
When the last word of all teams is
written. the strength Of the pitching
staff will tell the tale. We have suiii-
cient power in that department TO win
this race. and think enough to win
the bigger battle

Mating Hens For
Egg Production

Just why one hen Is a loafer and
another as like her as two peas in a
pod is good layer has always been
a poser to countrymen, says the Farm
and Fireside.
Raymond Pearl has spent nine years
delving into this mystery. Look the
world over and no one can be found
who has investigated this matter quite
so carefully in scientific way as he
has done at the Maine experiment sta
tion. He now is fully convinced that
1t is possible for poultry keeper to
control the egg produeten quality In
his hens by breeding and thus insure
heavy egg production, In a large pre-
portion Of the pullets matched. Pearls
work has not been mere scientific the
ory. He has bred, hatcAed, raised and
tested thousands Of birds with which
to demonstrate his opinions.
His discovery reduced to its lowest
terms is that the quality of heavy
egg production descends to the pullet
through her father and that, in order
to insure large proportion of the
pullets hatched being heavy layers,
their father must be the son of heavy
layer.

Rogers is used to trifles of that sort,
or at least to handling Uncle Sans

For instance-there are $4,000
pairs of army shoes in San Antonio.
Twenty thousand pairs are at Fort
