BUY 4 PIG''
Movement Inaugurated In The East
10 Increase Production Of Hogs.

In response to Uncle Sans call for
help to increase the production OF
hogs, q movement has been inaugur-
ated In the East that has some unique
features that are probably destined
to make 1t popular especially among
city people. The idea Is for q city
man to buy young porker and place
1t with a farmer who furnishes the
sly and feeds the pig until 1t is ready
for market, the cost Of the feed, etc,
to be divided between the farmer and
the owner Of the pig. A photograph
Is taken of the pig and the proud city
man has 1t labeled my Pig" and
places 1t on his desk where he gets
considerable amusement out Of the
witticisms to which he is subjected
by his business associates. When the
pig is ready for market 1t is sold and
he and the farmer divide the proceeds
on a fifty-fifty basis. Some scheme,
Ell!
And there is no doubt that the
people OF the Sixth Ward would be
glad to raise them to help the good
cause along.

decided TO give President Weeghman
permission to spend 100000 for the
best ballp1ayers it is possible to get
for the club This was verified by
President Weeghman, who declared
that the. figures mentioned were
wrong and should have been $4,000

President Weeghman has tried to
purchase certain players all the sea-
son, but money could not land them.
He offered as much as $4,000 for
Roger Hornsby of the st. Louis club,
but even that sum could not induce
Branch hickey or Miller Higgins to
part with the star infelder. More
than $4,000 was offered for Max
Carey of the Pirates, but that also
was refused by Barney Dreyfus.
Hornsby and Carey probably never
will be members OF the Cubs. as
their owners decline to dispose of
them for cash.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2T.-By a re-

duced that the forthcoming world
grapple between the White Sox and
Giants will - something OF test De-
tween stars of the old Federal league
and those OF the American league.
-Four former members OF the out

the White Sox but not Federal

mission approved for the Sox.
Fred Anderson, Benny Kauf and
Bill Rariden were three Of the big
guns in the old circuit Jimmy Smith
also did some ball playing when Jim
Gilmore was in baseball, but dld not
class with the other trio.
Since last spring this trio or ex-
Federals has done as much as any
other triangle TO boost the Giants in
10 a pennant. Anderson's work mas
been relief kind, but mighty efficient.
Rariden has held the brunt of the
catching and Kauff's hitting almost
kicked the Giants into pennant with
out further help, for it has been his
consistency and nerve that won cru
cial contests.
Compa risons between Federal
league players and those in the Ma
tfonal and American leagues used to
be common. but now that the ex-Feds
have done noble duty in the National,
they are booked to show in American
league competition.

at one stage of his career-when he
took charge of the Cleveland club
and made failure of it. There are
rumors now that he Is due for a re-

His success in plotting the Toronto
club to a championship in the face
Of such odds as he was called on to
face has given him wide publicity as

Rumors that are connecting Tor
