OUTLOOK IS SPLENDID
So Says John K. Tener, President
 of National League.
Never Have Prospects Been Brighter In National Pastime-SasebaII War Brought About Some De-
 plorable Conditions.
CBy JOHN K TENER. President of the
 Natinnnl La l

(By JOHN K. TENER. President of the
 National LeaGue)
 Splendid! That's my opinion of the baseball outlook for 1916, not merely for the National league, but for every diamond organization in the country.
 Not since I have been connected with the great national game, either as player, rooter or executive, have prospects been brighter for all con- cerned.
 The mass of people in this country love the old game. During the past two years they have not shown it as much as in other years. but that was due to two things. One was the European war, which for a time, brought about business depression. The other was the baseball war, which placed the affairs of baseball in a chaotic state.
 But now all is changed. The coun try is enjoying prosperity greater than ever before in it's history. The people have money-and they do not feel that in spending some of it for base ball they need sacrifice later to make up for the outlay.
 Peaceful conditions in the baseball world means that the game itself will be from 20 to 40 per cent faster and better than it was during the past two years. The players realize now that they must play the game-and they will. They are going to put their whole hearts and souls into the task. There will be no shirking. The boys will be out there day after day, battling every inch of the way, not merely because they must play at full speed to retain their jobs, but because their hearts are back ill their tasks again.

 The hen is an economical transform CT of food into finished product. A hen laying 200 eggs in a year is not at all unusual. A four-pound hen laying this number will produce six times her weight in eggs. To do this she will require from seventy to eighty pounds of food. For economical pro- duction it is necessary:
 1. That the food be properly se- lecteC.
 2. That it be fed in correct propor- tion and in a judicious manner in or der that her digestive organs may be kept in good condition.
 3. That she be fed enough so that she has plenty of surplus for egg pro- duction.
 Food is taken into the body to fur nish energy and to build up tissue. In feeding for egg production the pur poses for which food is supplied are:
 1. To supply the body needs.
 2. To produce eggs.
 The problems of poultry feeding re- quire good judgment and keen obser- vation. Hens fed for egg production should have food high in the food ele- ments which are found in eggs. Those fed in the fattening pens should have the foods which most economically produce fat. The best ration, then, is the one which supplies most econom- ically the food requirements of the bird for the purpose for which it is kept.
 It should be remembered that one of the principles of poultry feeding is that the hen cannot do well if fed on a whole grain ration. Not only does a ration of grain fail to furnish the proper food nutrients, but such ra- tion is difficult for the bird to digest properly. The great fault with the farmer in his poultry feeding is that he attempts to feed a whole grain ra- tion, and generally only one grain at that Such a ration results in poor egg

Kauff's master, came forth with a statement after seeing Cobb in that game that the Tiger without doubt was the greatest natural ball player he had ever seen. Jennings agreed with him absolutely. And he has a few good things to say of Kauff.
 'Kauff will hit 300 in the National league,"- the "ee-yah" singer declares. "But that isn't as difficult job as hit ting 300 in the American league. The former Federal leaguer would be only an average ball player in the Ameri- can league We're a lot faster than the National.' str

flirting of the Federals turned the heads of some of the players. Condi- tions were unsettled. But all is rosy now.
 I look for one of the prettiest races the National league has ever known, and from what I hear, the American league will stage a fight equally as thrilling. Some of the clubs in our circuit that were somewhat weak last year have been strengthened. Every team has chance for the pennant honors as the rival outfits prepare to toe the mark for the opening battle. Two or three of the clubs in the Ma tional league aren't conceded chance by dopesters the unexpected usually happens in baseball. The Braves weren't conceded a chance in 1914. Nor were the Phfllies in 1915. Yet both won out. History may re- peat itself this year.

THINKING ABOUT LITTLE DOG

 While Worrying About Lonesome ! Pet Left at Home.

A group of baseball players were discussing left-handers the other day, and as they ranged from Waddell to Benton to Sallee, they agreed that the man who pitches with his wrong arm is always the possessor of eccen- tric moods. "'Slim' Sallee was work ing against the Giants at the Polo grounds" said one member of the group, "and in the seventh inning the Giants filled the bases and needed only one run to tie. A ball was hit to Sallee, but instead of throwing the ball to the plate and forcing a man, he hurled it to first. When he got
