Concrete for Stable Floors.

The question of concrete for the
floor of cow stalls is being brought NJ
again and Farm and Firpside says:
'Ihere is no serious objection tn
concrete floors for warm or moderately
mild climates, providing they are given
rough finish by means of a wooden
float and are kept well bedded The
disadvantages of being somewhat cold
and slippery when wet have in many
cases been exaggerated.
Concrete is no more Slippery than a
wet plank, and is little colder than a
wet plank, and is little colder than wet
ground. Concrete has the advantages OF
being everlasting, easily cleaned, and
Is one Of the very few substances that
does not absorb the liquids of manure.
However, when bedding is scarce.
the use of creoSoted wood blocks or
cork bricks laid on q concrete founda-
tion make a warmer floor that is nearly
as durable as concrete itself, and is
used in many high-class dairies.' -

the defensive side would find that it
was forced to protect against Il for
ward pass to any one of four eligibles
with only one man available for the
purpose"
Ii viii thus be seen what a coach
with a constructive mind can do in the
way Of dcyi.ing forward pass strategy.
There are those who believe that some
day Il bright coach who has on his
eleven an unerring pasSer and IL catcher
Of the Mcrillat type is going to present
for consideration the unassailable for
ward pass.
The rules committee has shown no
desire to interfere with the logical
working out Of this method Of attack.
but wishes it TO be operated strictly
ON its merits. The new forward pass
rule placed in the book last winter is
an earnest Of its desire in this respect.
This rule stipuiateS that hereafter
guards, tackles ana center may not be
come eligible to receive the ball simply
by dropping a yard back OF the line of
scrimmage before the bah is put into
play.
y player occupying any one of these
positions is eligible to receive for
ward pass provided he is on the end of
the line of scrimmaCe when the ball is
snapped; provided, also, he is five
yards back of the line Of scrimmagc
when play starts.
Officials in past years have found it
impossible to follow shifting linesmeu
in their movements, and there is no
doubt that very frequently forward
passes have been received by mea who
were not eligible to take them. The
new rule VIII hit some tricky coaches,
but will not bother the honest, fair
minded instructors at all.
Frank Hinkey's lateral pass is not as
dead as some persons seem to think.
1t has its uses and will be used by the
leading elevens, will be used to some
extent by Yale probably. AS the chief
vehicle of attack it has grave weak
ucsScs, as the Els conclusively dem
Unstrated, but Princeton put it to ex-
ccllent use in the Harvard game, while
in the Yale contest only a dropped ball
prevented the Tigers from scoring on
the lateral throw.
ANY well coached defense will know
how to cope with the play. while at the
same time its unexpected use may re-
suit in long gain, if not a score.

THIRD VICTORY FOR
BOSTON AMERICANS
Took the Game from Brooklyn Yester-
day 6-2-Gardner' Home Run
Timely Swat.

The Boston Americans made the
count against the Brooklyn Nationals
three to one in the world s champion
ship series by taking the game yester-
day afternoon at Brooklyn by a 90
score.
The hero of the game was William
Lawrence Gardner of Enosburg. VT.
who clouted the ball for a home run
with two on in the third inning. Brook
lyn started with a twO-rm lead in the
first inning, when Johnston hit the
first ball pitched for triple. After
"a bad start Dutch Leonard pulled him
self together and pitched heady ball
against the Brooklyn aggregation. At
ter Gardner s home run swat Marouard
was sent to the paddock Cheney, the
moist ball artist, who followed did not
last long, and the veteran Nap Rucker
finished the game for the losers
From a fielding standpoint Boston
played air-tight ball with the excep-
ton of one misplay by Janvrin. Brook
lyn faltcred worse than in any of the
previous games, making four errors.
The scene shifts to Boston TODAY. If
Boston wins this game the series will
be over. The score:

handler in the game today, when he is
right. lie must have been very much
right after the first inning.
Boston outhit Brooklyn Yesterday
two to one and brought the total Bos-
ton hits up to a shade more than the
total Brooklyn wallops in the four
games played.
Gardner ranks with Frank Baker
now. He, like Baker, has made home
run in two successive world cham
pionship games, and Gardner s last one
drove in two men ahead of him.
One question several would be CRATE
full if Manager Robinson would answer:
Why has Pfeffer' not been given a
chance to start game? He certainly
looked very good from this distance
when he was given a chance to work.
