SAYS GRADE COW
BETTER FOR DAIRY
ANOTHER WRITER ENDORSES
VIEWS EXPRESSED BN JAY
BOLSTER.

Editor Standard:
Mr. Jay Bolster said something"
to use slang expression which
seems appropriate. when he put in a
good word for the grade dairy COW.
There has been too much OF halo
cast Ground the purebred and too
many dairymen have the idea that a
pedigree is a guarantee of high pro-
duction. The facts of teh case, how
ever, are that there are too many
pure bred scrubs" which are not as
good as a great many high grades.
Some pure bred cows were pur-
chased by the members of the cow
testing association that have charge
of and are so far proving disappoint-
ing in that they are being beaten by
dozens of good grade cows. The
value of the pure bred dairy sire
from a proven COW, however, is also
being proved in several herds and it
is the grading up" method that
seems to be most profitable here in
the Walla Walla valley.
Ties Up Too Much Capital.
There is too much capital tied up
in pure bred females to produce milk
from, and unless breeder has mar
ket for breeding stock think he will
find it more profitable to use pure
bred sires on his grade cows. He
will also be more sure of success, for
there is a vast deal of skill required
in breeding very high producing
cows, that is gained only by years of
experience and many costly mistakes.
And, just by the way, Thurston
county is justly proud of the record
made by the herd of E. Mum, or
rather Mum 4 Son, for to Robert
Mum, I think, belongs as much
credit as to Mr.. Mum himself. II
you will allow me l want to tell a
little of Mr.. Munn's methods, for
think they are worth following.
About five years ago Robert Mum
came back from Washington State
College with some "newfangled"
ideas. He installed a pair of scales
in the barn and Babcock tester on
the back porch and used both.
Policy Munns' Followed.
They saved the calves from the
best cows and sold the poor ones.
They went out and bought the best
bull they could get, bull that had
headed the herd of the Ladd estate
at Portland and which had proved
himself as a breeder. This bull cost
money that would make many a
dairyman in the state of Washington
gasp, but the foresight of the Munn's
has been proved.
Mr.. Munn's herd is an object les
con to dairymen anywhere. What
these two men have done anyone else
can do If they are not too proud to
learn to use ''newfangled" methods.
There are too many men who just
keep cows" The testing assoc a.
ton is proving its value every month
and If owners will only follow In
the direction these records point,
they cannot miss success.
But to return for final word
about the pure bred scrub" AS
one man aptly stated the proposition
at a cow-testing association picnic,
I'VE ought to have more steers and
some of them ought to be pure bred"

| Central High school is expecting little
less than a practice game this after

school eleven on the latters field. Cen
trail came through the game with Bay

| Coach Pritchard gave his boys rest
| on Monday afternoon, but has been hold
ing practice daily since. He will take
the chance of being surprised by the
Ensley outfit.
| Central has defeated Ensley once this
season, S5 to 0, and since that Ensley has
been receiving regular defeats. Coach
| Pritchard is working his men hard for
the game Thanksgiving with Bessemer.
and the game next Saturday with Etowah
| County High. Both elevens are strong,
and will give the locals hard game.
| Central is making strong bid for the
| championship of Alabama Interschotas-
| tic Athletic conference this year, and
| has not suffered defeat from an Alabama
| High school thus far. There are several
contenders for the title, and Central will
have merry time in winning it. Bes-
| semer, Etowah, Marshall County High
and Jackson County High, in addition &c
| Central, are the chief contenders. None
! has been defeated so far.
| The game this afternoon will start at
| $3.50 o'clock and will be played on the
| T. C. l. field. Coach Craig of Ensley
has his men in good condition for the
| game and believes they will give Central
a hard fight. Practice has been he'd
1 daily, and the Ensley leader, with the
aid of several former football stars, has
whipped the team into the best condition
of the season. Ensley has had a bad
year thus far, but is determined to COM
/ plete the year with a clean slate. They
! have several more hard games.

GRIDIRON ECHOES
BY FRED BODEKER
FLOYD

There seems to be some objec-
ton to the statement made in these
columns several days ago that Ala
bama had reached the end of her
winning streak. The protest is very
feeble as the majority of well-in-
formed football fans realize hat
the Crimson can hardly score a vic
tory Saturday over the strong Geor-
gia Tech eleven.
The statement was not made that
Alabama would not win another
game, but that "Alabama's consec-
utive winning streak was at an
end" Most everybody regards Tech
to have better team than Alabama
and the reason for the feeble out
burst cannot be imagined.
The writer firmly believes that
the Crimson will be defeated by
Tech, but the victory will not be as
easy for the Heisman crew as was
first thought. Tech will be lucky to
escape with a victory, as Kelley has
a remarkable team at the univer-
sity, as was shown in the struggle
against Sewanee last Saturday.
AS has been printed in The Age
Herald frequently this season, Ala
bama has the best team in the past
10 years, but Tech has better one.
The Crimson may surprise the foot
ball world and defeat the Yellow
Jackets. Nothing could please us
better, for we are strong for Ala
bama. The Crimson appears doomed.
however, as far as winning over
Georgia Tech is concerned. They
will score, however. other victories
this year.
In the past seven years out of five
meetings Alabama has Walloped the
Yellow Jackets but one. The scores
prior to 1909 are not available. The
scores of the game since 1903 are
as follows:
1909-Did not meet.
1910-Tech SO, Alabama 0.

ham Athletic club road race are pro-
crossing rapidly and indications are
that the event will be one of the most
successful staged in recent years. The
race will be held on Saturday, Decem-
Der 16,
Entry blanks have been sent out to
all athletic clubs and associations
throughout the south and a large en-
try list is expected. The Acipco team
won the team nonors last year, while
Locke running for the Atlanta Athletic
club won first honors easily.
The race will be for three miles and
will be run over the streets of the
city. A handsome silver loving cup will
be awarded to the organizati ton whose
team finishes first. The cup will be
held by them for one year. When won
three times by the same organization
the cup becomes the permanent prop
erty of the said club. The individual
who finishes first will be given gold
medal, the second man a silver medal
and a bronze medal to the next eight
men finishing. These medals are the
personal property of the winners.
1t is expected that both Howard and
Birmingham colleges will enter teams
as will Central high. The Y. NJ c. A.
may also enter. The club will send
forth a strong team. Each team con-
sists of six men.
The Invitations were sent all over the
south. A strenuous effort will be made
to make the race one of the biggest
ever held in Birmingham. Other an
nouncements will be made later.

incidents That Stand Out
AS Noteworthy In 1916

A compiler of the dope has counted
these events as among the noteworthy
things of the baseball season that has
Aust come to its close:
Four no-hit, no-run games in the big
ieagues-three in the American and one in
the National The pitchers who perform
ed these fedts were: Leonard of the Red
Sox, against ST. Louis; Foster of the
Red Sox, against Washington; Bush of
the Athletics, against Cleveland, and
Hughes of the Braves, against PittsbhrS.
Grover Cleveland Alexander, the great
pitcher of the Phillies, set up new
whitewash record by pitching 16 straight
games The old mark was 10, held by
Mathewson.
lack Wheat of the Brooklyn Robins
made one or more safe hits in % consecI-
tive games. In the % games he poled a
total of 45 safeties.
The New York Giants won % consecu-
tive games, and, in doing so, shatter ed
the long-standing major league record OF
20 straight made by Providence in 1884.
In losing 20 straight games the Ath-
letics tied the American league record Tor
consecutive defeats The Mackmen also
hung up new mark for defeats in one
season with III games in the lost column,
against 113 registered by Washington in
1904 the worst previous record.
The iron man stunt, or pitching and
winning two games in one afternoon. was
performed by four big league twirlers.
They were: Davenport of the Browns,
pitching against the Yankees; Perrit OF
the Giants, against the Phillies; Alexan-
der of the Phllies, against Cincinnati and
Demaree of the Philles, pitching against
Pirates.
Outfielder Eddie Mensor, playing with
the Spokane Northwestern league team,
took part in ia games and handled 239
chances without an error.

Milliken Named Manager
of Athletic Club FlDe
Outlook Good for Successful SeasonPans Progressing for
Big Road Race December 16

William Millikcn will again manage
the Birmingham Athletic clubs basket
ball team. This announcement was made
yesterday afternoon by William STREET,
Jr., of the athletic committee.
Milliken has managed the club five
the past two years, during which time
the financial end of the situation has
been a success. The team last year was
eeeeeeeee eeeeeeeee Ycmfwypcmfwypd
one of the best representing the club in
a number of years. Although the five
failed to win the southern champion
ship, they made most creditable show
ing.
Tommy MCGOWAN, perhaps the best
forward in the south, is captain of
the team again. Practice for the team
will start in about a month. The first
game is scheduled shortly before
christmas.
Prospect for winning team at the
present is very good. The outlook at
the present is that MCGOWAN and
Brazleton will be at forwards again,
Gillian and Seals at guards while Har-
ry Satterffeld, a star of the teams back
five years ago, will probably be played
at center. Over so men will try for the
team The color series will started with
in few weeks, from which the varsity

Four Members of Commodore Machine Laid Up With Chils
Coaches Working Interference

game for the first time this season with
out a single first-string man missing. The
various bruises and wrenches that have
bothered different members of the squad
the whole season are not all healed up.
A fast interference is what the coaches
are trying most to develop this week.
Last Saturday, against a very weak team
the Commodores seemed to go back a
trifle in this department of the game
from the form they displayed against
Virginia. Several times a single Rose
Polytechnic player would spill two or
three men at once, one with the ball
and the others supposedly running his in
reference. But a let-down after the hard
Virginia game was only to be expected
and it is confidently anticipated here that
the Commodores will be back at their
top form again by Saturday.
Since reports received here indicated
that the Volunteers in last Saturday $
game against the Chattanoogans were
weak at warding off the forward pass,
it is thought that McGugin in his secret
practices this week will prepare a col
lection of these for his charges to at
tempt up at Knoxville.

announced that Dough Ray, whose work
against Virginia at fullbacl was sensa-
tional and who was being counted on
as one of the main cogs in the Wander

malaria, and may not get in shape in
time to play against Tennessee next Sat
urday. He is the fourth of the Commo-
dores to be laid up with this complaint.
The next step McGugin will have to take
will be to require his men during their
summer months to give the chill-laden
districts of the south a wide berth. He
has been worried in the past by the
complaint to some extent, but never be-
fore has the malady gotten such grip
or his machine. Lipscome, at tackle, and
Hamilton, at center, after 10 days of
chlls are still ailing, and their presence
in the Tennessee game is on that ac-
count an uncertain proposition. If the
