THREE SWATS WERE ENOUGH
GawI<y Michigan Pitcher Who Could
Fool Ty Cobb Is Given Chance
to Show Jennings.

Hughie Jennings, manager Of the
Tigers, recently had letter from a
Michigan pitcher who stated that he
rould strike out Ty Cobb three times
out of four trips to the plate 1t only
cost $1.S0 to get peep at this pitcher
and, working on the old motto that you
never can tell, Jennings forwarded the
one buck and eight dimes.
The pitcher came, a six-foot four
Inch man. He was gawky and he was
all joints and bone.
Cobb was called and he faced the
new marvel. The first pitch Cobb
whacked against the right-field wall.
The next was good for four bags when
Ty pasted 1t, and the third flew to
deep center and was four-ply shot.
"Well, what have you got to say?"
asked Jennings.
ST don't think that's Cobb" said the
pitcher.
Needless to say, that ended the
pitchers career.

Is a good base runner, one capable Of
getting the utmost inch on both his
own and Bakers blows.
Pipp stands today as an example Of
the sound baseball sense Of Manager
Donovan. When Wild Bill was brought
over from Providence pennant fame to
assume charge of the Yankees by
Messrs. Rupert and Huston, the new
owners, he found that the Detroit club
had given New York options on Pipp
and Hughie High.
Both Pipp and High made good, and
formed a nucleus around which it was
possible to build the present strong
structure. Like most of the promi-
nent American league sluggers, Wal
ter Pipp is left-handed batsman. He
throws with his right hand, qualifica-
ton regarded as a great advantage
for first-base play. Pipp is grand
fielder, active, agile and certain with
his hands. He is possessed Of won
derful reach-he stands six feet two
inches dn height, and weighs $50
mounds.

MUST MAKE UNIFORM PRICES
State Administrator Issues Orders
Instructing Coal Dealers.

Frank R .Gooding, fuel admins
tration for Idaho, has issued an order
to all fuel dealers in the state in
which he says:
After determining the price of coal
by the ton at the mine mouth, and
adding thereto the railroad or other
transportation charges, the dealer is
privileged to add a gross margin
of two dollars a ton, the price so
fixed including the charge for wagon
delivery, per ton, such delivery charge
being considered to be rs cents a
ton.
A charge of so cents a ton addi-
tional is permitted where delivery
of coal is made in baskets, sacks or
by wheelbarrow. The charge of rs
cents a ton for wagon delivery is
subject to adjustment in cases where
haul is long and cost of delivery
is made excessive, or where deliv-
cry is made in less than ton lots.
Dealers interested should take up
the matter of adjustment with the
member of the advisory committee
in charge of his district.
When coal is sold from the bin
or cars, the gross margin the dealer
is permitted to charge shall not ex-
coed S125 a ton.

KOOTENAI VALLEY RUSH HAY
Comparison With Other Stock Grass
es as Found by F. H. Lafranz.

F. H. Lafranz, superintendent of
the state experimental farm at Sand

parison to show the relative value
of the Boomers Ferry rush hay with
other grasses:
Water Ash Crude Carbo- Fat
Protein hydrate
R. clover 1913 6.2 1913 62.6 3.3

Dat hay $50 6.2 4.6 744 90
Rush Hay S.34 1881 lips 44.S9 4.04
Mr.. Lafranz says that dairymen
in the vicinity of Bonners Ferry re-
port good results in feeding this
hay to cows and from the analysis
it would seem to compare very well
with either clover or alfalfa. "On
account of it's very laxative charac-
teristic," says Mr.. Lafranz, at
should make up only part Of the
ration. 1t is high in ash, protein
and fat and for best results should
be fed with some carbohydrate hay
