MUSCLES HELP MYERS
Elmer Myers Worked in Black
smiths Shop When a Boy.
Manager Connie Mack Says Youngster
Is Greatest Pitcher He Ever De-
veIoped-Eas Splendid Con-
troll and Curve Ball.

Muscles developed as kid putting
bellows and massaging the anvil in his
dads blacksmith shop in New York
Springs, Adams county, Pennsylvania,
are making Elmer Myers famous.
"Myers is the greatest young pitcher
I have ever developed. Better than
Plank, Bender or Coombs? Yes, sir!
Myers does not know as much about
pitching as these old stars, but right
today he is better pitcher than any
of them were in their prime"
That is Connie Mack's tribute to
the graduate blacksmith.
The youngster is Highlander,
stands six feet three inches tall, and
has a long pair Of arms, which aid
him in getting closer to the batsman
before he lets the ball go out of his
hand.

BASEBALL IS POPULAR GAME
With Recent Abolition Of Bull Fight

Baseball is rapidly becoming the
most popular sport In northern Mex

national sport of the country.

Americans living In the republic have
introduced the game and taught the

Juarez and Chihuahua there are semi

HEAT REDUCES FLOW OF MILK
Poor Pastures and Flies Also Contrib
ute to Loss-Main Thing Is to
Feed Cows Well.

By C. H. ECKLES, Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.)
During hot weather the milk flow Of
the average herd drops down nearly
half. The heat and the condition of
the pastures common at that time of
the year are the main causes of this
drop. The flies generally blamed are
of much less Importance than other
conditions. The real cause is the fail
ure of the animals to eat sufficient
feed. Poor pastures, heat, the flies
may all contribute to this result. 1t
will be observed that during the hot
weather the cows will Craze but little
and come to the barn at night evident
ly hungry. To produce three gallons
of milk a day cow has to gather at
last 100 or 125 pounds of grass. If
the pastures are short and the weather
hot, generally this much grass will not
be gathered and soon the milk flow
goes down.
The influence of these summer con-
ditions cannot be removed, but may
be improved. The main thing is to see
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1916-10-13

that the cows do not lack food. They
should be in the pasture at night and
during the earliest, coolest part Of the
day. If the pasture is short, feed
silage or green crops. 1t is well known
to all experienced with dairy cattle
that when the milk flow goes down
once for lack of feed it is impossible
to bring it back to where 1t was be-
fore by better feeding later. To get
high production of milk during the
year the COW must be kept at high
level of production all the time. For
this reason do not neglect the COWS
during the hot weather and expect
them to come back strong again when
conditions become better in the fall.
Keep them going all the time.

PIRATES TWICE BUY BIGBEE
First Signed in 1914 and Let Go With
out Even So Much as Trial
Now Costs 5000.

Along in 1914 a youngster named
Bigbee was proving a sensation with
the baseball team of the University of
Oregon and q crafty and far-seeing
Pittsburgh scout signed him-and then
somebody back in Pittsburgh released
him without even so much as trial.
The youngster finished school and
went out to make his way in baseball.
A couple of weekstago the Pittsburgh
club paid $1,000 to Tacoma for his
contract. He is the same Carson Big
bee released by Pittsburgh without
looking over in 1914. The scouts who
have watched his work say he is not
a second Ty Cobb, but rather he is
second Willie Keller. He is little
fellow, fast as a flash, who can hit,
run and field, and unless the dope is
all wrong he should be star in the
game for some time to come.

NEARBY MARKET FOR BUTTER
Dairyman Is Fortunate Who has

It is one thing to produce an article
and another to get good price for 1t,
even when it is worth 1t. The private
dairyman is most favorably situated
when he has good nearby market Tor
butter composed of people whom he
knows well. There Is no better trade
than a private one made up of select
ed customers, provided the producer
supplies them with first-class article
of butter.
Selling to the nearby stores, as many
people do, is, for the most part, like
giving butter away, unless one can
make some arrangement other than
the ordinary ones. AS rule, the coun-
try merchant pays very low price
for butter, and in many instances It
Is safe to say that he pays as much
As it is WORTH The fact is, he often
pays more than the poor butter -

NOTES.
MAofHeN
DIAMOND

John McGraw denies the report that
he contemplates retiring from baseball.
Babe Adams was turned loose by
the Pirates just when the Pittsburgh
fans were beginning to call him Pop.
With seven teams in the hunt, the
American league race bids fair to be
one of those battles that keeps the
fans in their seats until the last game
is played.
Connie Mack has only Amos Strunk,
outfel6er, and Stuffy McInnis, of his
worlds famous combination, remain
ing with the squad he is trying to re-
construct.
Manager Joe Tinker and Pitcher
Mordecai Brown are the only remaining
players at present members of the
famous Cub outfit of few years ago.
Eighteen pitchers have been Sc
cured by the Cleveland American
league club for next season. 1t is ex-
pected many more will be added from
which to finally select the staff.
President HeiEemann of the New
Orleans Southern league club has
announced the sale to the Cleveland
Americans of Pitcher Clarence Smith,
Catcher Henry De Berry, and Outfield-
err Milo Allison.
Clarence Mitchell, the Cincinnati
southpaw, is one of the best hitting
pitchers in the major leagues, and
Mathewson is said to be considering
the idea of converting him into an out
fielder.
Irving Kantlehner of the Pirates is
the real hard-luck pitcher of the year.
He las lost nine games this season in
which not a run has been scored by his
team mates. In one of these games he
allowed but four hits.
Lew McCarty may not be salts |
factory first baseman, but he certain |
ly has shown the batting punch this |
season. In 60 games, according to
one set of averages kept, he has bat
ted 1928, thus being the leader of his
league with the stick.
Among the players recalled by the |
New Yorks is the veteran backstop, |
EG Sweeney. Sweeney has been catch |
ing finely for Roger Bresnahan's To |
ledo team this year and is counted |
among the real come-backs of the |
season.

New Shoes Protect Linemen.

A number of linemen have lost their
lives because the shoes they wore were
not properly protected from transmit
ting electric current. A special line
mans shoe has been patented recent
Iy which will completely overcome this
risk. Its sole is composed of two sep
arate layers of rubber which lessen the
possibility of blowholes through which
current enough to produce shock might
be carried. Tests prove that this new
shoe will prevent the passage of cur
rent of at least thirty thousand volts
