THE COUNTY AGENT

The campaign in progress for clovers and pastures and cover crops furnishes many fine examples as to the value of the county agricultural agent. In one county, where last year no crimson clover was seeded, the county agent had in the warehouse in his town on last Saturday 75 bushels of crimson clover seed andreports of need of as much more. In another county,3000 hogs have been vaccinated in ten months by the county agent, and in an adjoining county without any agent 5000 hogs have died from cholera in seven months. Thirteen cars of pure bred cat tie, mostly bulls, have been brought into Arkansas since February, 1916, all of them in counties with county agricul- tural agents. Not a car of pure bred cattle has been brought into any county that is without a county agent. The county az ricultural agent is the only en- ployee of the county who is constantly at work for the far mers and for agricultue.

Nineteen hundred and sixteen soon will
pass along into the vista of years. The
sands In the glass almost have run their
course, and when the last grain has set
tied with the birth of a new year, the
twelvemonth which is about to close can
be placed in the records Of time as one of
the most successful in the annals or
sports local.
The great world war has put a damper
on sporting events OF all varieties in for
eign lands but in these peaceful United
States Of ours we have enjoyed sports to
the utmost and nearly every branch on
the sporting tree has been blessed with
successes. Because of the wars abroad
the whole world has turned its eyes to-
ward America, and America has furnish
ed the thrills for followers Of almost al
pastimes classified in sportdom.
Baseball, tennis, golf, boxing, racing,
rowing, football and athletics in all their
branches, professional or amateur, have
enjoyed successes. To cover the year OF
1915 insofar as actual sporting records
are concerned in this country alone would
require column upon column of statis-
tics. Records of the many events which
have taken place In all lines Of sport
would show the breaking of many marks
and the making OF many new champions

Amateur Baseball.

Six local leagues made up the register
of the Association OF Amateur Baseball
Leagues of Washington last summer and
although the number was small the sand
lot game enjoyed quite a successful year.
The Treasury team OF the Government
League landed the amateur champion
ship Of the District after one OF the
most hotly contested races seen in local
baseball. Treasury did more than land
the amateur championship of Washing
ton by upholding the standard of our local
sand lot game. but defeated both the
Builders. Of Richmond. and Fidelity and
Trust Company. of Baltimore. The Treas
ury team, believed by many sand lot fans
to be the weakest club that entered the
series for the District championship.
proved to be a great hitting combinat ton
and were never beaten until the final
out was called. Lefty Downey, Mike
Flannery, Charlie Straight and Danny
Bell were the mainstays of the outfit
and when this combination started hit

Potomac League between itself and two

Machinists, grabbed the bunting but were
pushed by the wayside when the Holy
Name team, winner of the title in the
Catholic Church League, eliminated them.
Rosedale. winner of the heretofore
Fairgrounds circuit with additions of
a few of the w. B. & A. stars captured
the hOnors in class A, against Machnists
and Holy Name and were favorites to
win the title against the Treasury in the
interleague title.
Not taking any credit away from Treas
ury, the Rosedale team did all that could
be expected of them with a crippled out
fit and were beaten by the Treasury team
in the final play OF in two straight
games.
The junior teams Of Washington got to-
gether late in June and under the super
vision of Harry j. Late. two circuits were
organized. The s. S. G. c. team won the
championship in the Washington Junior,
while the Shamrock managed to grab
the bunting in the American Junior
League. The Episcopalians handed
Shamrocks beating in the play-ofr, but
both teams were victorious in their four
game series with Baltimore.
Many local boys who participated in
amateur Independent scholastic and coll
legiate baseball last year gave a great
deal Of promise of developing into ma jor
leaguers. but Mike Moran. shortfelder OF

National League. bid for the local lad g

Because of the successful season in
1916 local fans can expect amateur base
ball to thrive during 1917.

Collegiate Football.

Fresh in the minds of local sporting
fandom Is the success OF the FIVE
collegiate gridiron teams.
Never has there been a team from
Georgetown University that set the SEN
sational scoring record that Coach Albert
Exendine's Hilltop collegians did this fall
Out Maryland State way the gridiron
experts Of this locality must all dom
their hats to Curly Byrd, coach of the
College Park eleven, because OF their
brilliant record this season, which they
top OF with 5O-to-0 game over Johns
Hopkins team
Catholic University played exceptional
good football, but their defeat at the
hands of the Maryland Aggies set them
back pace. Gallaudet. with a practically
novice team, had quite a successful sea-
son under the reign OF Coach Haggy
Ellis
From up New York State way there came
to our midst during the early minutes
OF the past gridiron season a coach who
had had experience as a capable player
and capable coach. This coach extra
ordinary was Tommy Sullivan, of Hamil-
ton, N. Y. Sullivan took charge of the
George Washington football team and in
their first year in which they have play
ed during the last six gridiron seasons,
he put them both on the map and on
the road to success In the gridiron world.
The outstanding feature of the work
Of the local gridiron elevens is the
sensational work of Johnny Gilroy of
the Georgetown eleven. This former
Haverhill High School player was the
leading scorer of the country this season
and was picked by an real football
critics as All-Amercan half back. There
need be but little mention of the great
work of this individual as he Is easily
the best player the South Atlantic grid
iron world has seen since the days of fly
ing wedges and pivot shifts.
Even with the great work of Johnny
Gilroy. Washington gridiron fans were
led astray and were led to take their
eyes off Washington high school young
ster who performed wonders on the
Maryland gridirons.
Brook Brewer, well known in the
sprinting world. was the individual that
put Maryland State on the football map
by his wonderful sprinting ability and
sensational punting. Mike Shortley, OF
the Catholic University team, deserves
more than honorable mention than with
both Brewer and Gilroy, as Mike was the
Brooklanders main stay and helped
great deal toward their successful season.
Capt Marshall, Of the Gallaudet team,
who played quarter back, was one of
the best men the Kendall Greeners have
seen in years and II he had been given
the right support by his teammates he
would have been among the South At
lantic stars.
Georgetown loses but four veterans,
while the other colleges are well fortified
with football material and prospects in
1917 are the best that they have been in
a long while
