CAMEL GETS $1,000
MONTHLY FOR LOAFING

Detroit, Sept. 9.-John Camel is get
ting $1,000 per month for loafng but
John isn't wildly happy about it.
I've spent every summer of my adult
life in working-and can't get quite
used TO this taking il easy idea" says
John. "l'd like to handle ball club
again"
John managed the Rochester Interna-
tionals until along toward the latter
part of the 1915 season. Then Lee
Magee quit his JOB as pilot OF the
Brooklyn Feds and the Ward family
hired John at $500 per season.
The Feds are no more-but that con-
tract is. II was a personal agreement
between Camel and the late Robert B.
Ward and it won't expire until the end
Of the 1917 season, meaning that John
is going to get $4,000 for doing
nothing.
But reiterate that Id rather work
than merely TO drop around TO the Ward
factory twice month and collect the
mazuma," declares John.

ONLY TRIFLE BETWEEN
$50 AND $50 HITTERS

The difference between a $50 and a
$50 hitter is just a trife more than
one hit in every three games. Sounds
astonishing-but it is true. Just
about one-third Of safety per game
divides the Cobbs and the Speakers and
the Jacksons from the hoi polloi among
swatsmiths.
William Chase Temple, donor Of the
Temple Cup and one of the best record
men on the national game in its entire
history, has figured it out. He has
taken all the averages of both leagues
TO reach his conclusions.
Temples statistics show that each
player in the National League averages
3.64 times at bat per game, while the
American League averages SO times
making the grand average of 1862 times
at bath for every major league player
in each game.
Having reached these figures, then
found that 10 bat $50 in 100 games a
player would have 10 make 1877 hits"
said Temple. "A $50 batter will make
81 hits in every 100 games. That
shows a difference of thirty-six hits in
every 100 games between a $50 and a
$50 hitter.
Therefore, it can be seen readily
that the $50 hitter, making thirty-six
more hits in each 100 games than does
the $50 man. averages only about one
third hit more per game than the low
hitter, or Los hits in every three
games"

Great Race in the High

MEET MARKS RISE
OF NEW CHAMPIONS
Title Holders Have Hard
Time of 1t in National
Championships.
By FRED HAWTHORNE.

One Of the greatest crowds that ever
gathered az a track meet-some oO,Ooo
men, women and children-jsmmed It's
way into Weequahic Park, Newark
y. J., and on 20 the surrounding hills
Yesterday TO witness the annual senior
national track and field championships
fought out between the picked athletes
Of the country.
Under weather conditions that we're
almost perfect the spectators saw the
men Of muscle and speed smash five
senior records and one American
marx. while in the 120-ysrd high hur-
dies, with wonderful field facing the
starter, Robert Simpson, Of the Univer-
sity Of Missouri. finished just ahead or
Fred Kelly. of Los Angeles, in OLA 40.
This is a new senior record, and al
though Simpson himself is credited
with time a fifth of a second lower
than this that mark has not been Off
cially accepted, and the time he made
yesterday will probably be recognized
as new worlds record.
Fred Murray, the great athlete from
California. although he lost his national
title in this race being placed fourth
retained his championship in the 22o-
ward low hurdle event. where he set up
new senior record Of 0:24. The Leland
Stanford University boy had terrific
LraI X a1lyr
Of Los Angeles, and Joe LOOMS, of Chi
eago, but his speed was great enough TO
place him in front by the scantest Of
margins.
New Champions Come.
Taking it by and large, il was rather
rough day for the title holders, as in
majority Of the events new contenders
came along and nosed out the cham
pions. Among those TO lose their crowns
were 10 LOOMS in the 100 yard, FRED
Murray in the 120-yard high hurdles,
Joie Ray, who did not start, in the one
mile; Ted Meredith in the 44O yards,
Eddie REM, a non-starter in the three
mile walk; Bill Meanix in the 440-yard
high hurdles, Roy Morse in the 22O
yards run, Hannes kolehmainen IN the
five-mile, L. Campbell in the half mile,
in which he did not start; Sam Bellah
in the pole vault, non-starter; George
HORNE, who did not start, in the run
ming high jump, and Lee J. Talbot, who
did not compete, in the 56-pound weight
throwing.
Newark, celebrating her 250tn birth
day, experienced enough sensations to
last her for another span of $50 years.
In the first place, there were the new
records established on Newark's his
toric cinder path; then there were the
10000 spectators, the largest gathering
the city had ever seen at such meet
ing.
More excitement came when several
hundred persons who had been watch
ing the events from nearby hillside
made a rush for the high iron pickev
fence surrounding the field and clam
bered over, risking punctures on the
sharp spikes. Some Of these venture
some spirits were content TO take their
posts on the dirt trotting track, but
others swarmed over on TO the cinder
track and the runners in the half-mile
race had 10 work their way through
lanes Of humanity as they finished the
last lap.

Fine Crops On
Fall Seed Grains

Owing to the continued dry weather
during the late ripening period and
to the satisfactory harvesting season
the condition of Wisconsin winter
grain seed crop is excellent, according
to R. A. Moore of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station.
This means much to seed grain
growers in Wisconsin for their crops
of pedigree fall rye and wheat are in
great demand for seed purposes in
other states. The yields Of the pedi-
gree grains have been very good this
year considering the extremely try
ing winter.
Many farmers have observed. that
the improved grains have been able to
resist winter killing much better than
the common varieties.

Our Dairy Cows Pay
Good Prices for Crops

wisconsin, the dairy Denmark of
America, is held up to the dairymen
of the country as the model, the lead
er, the TO be patterned after by dairy
states of the Union. 1t isn't to be
wondered at, for carefully compiled
statistics reveal to us that Wisconsin
dairy prooucts for the year 1914 were
worth a great big round hundred mil
lion dollars writes Fred w. Merrill
of Illinois.
During the same year that state
produced a good many other crops
corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, hay,
potatoes, buckwheat, tobacco. grass,
silage, timothy, seed, fruit and mis-
cellaneous crops, but no two crops put
together would equal in value the
dairy products of the state.
'The best part of the story is that
Wisconsin's dairy cows furnished the
market and paid high price for many
of the other crops. The dairy cows in
Wisconsin paid five million dollars for
silage. They paid fifty million dollars
for the grass grown in Wisconsin hills,
and paid good prices for the grain and
hay produced on Wisconsin farms.
"In Wisconsin there are, on an aver
age, nine cows to every farm, and they
are kept on 160,567 farms.
1.-The milk from Wisconsin dairy
cows was made into approximately
18O,OOO,000 pounds of cheese. The
butter fat yielded 131, 100000 pounds
of butter, for which the farmers re-
ceived throughout the year an aver
age price of 27 cents a pound"
