STARS WANE FAST
Few Big League Hurlers Ever
Win a Hundred Games.
Only Three Have Ever Reached
the 200 Mark.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, April 13.-It is some
what of distinction to have won more
than 100 ball games in the major
lea CUES.
If you don't believe it, just take a
slant at the conn.,. etc records of all
of the hurlers now holding meal tick
cts in the two majors. and you will
find only thirteen pitchers who have
100 or more victories to their credit
Christy Mathewson may essay to
add a few more wins to his long string
of 372 victories. And Matty may well
be proud of his record, for he is the
only pitcher in baseball today who has
more than 800 wins to his credit.
Three 200 Records.
There are only three pitchers in the
mark. Including Matty, they are
Plank, of the Browns, and Walter
Johnson, of the Nationals. Plank has
pitched 29S victories in the major
leagues, and johnson has come off
the winner 228 times. Ed Walsh, now
retired, shot his bolt after he had won
1876 games and lost 125 for the White
Sox.
Included in the list of the "select
thirteen" is Joe Wood, who will at
land club this year. Smoky Joe has
won III games and lost Sc during his
, career, and if the good old souper is
really the effective souper of old, Joe
may realize his ambition to pitch 200
or more winning ball games.
Figuring that the pitching art is de-
veloped to a finer point today than at
any time in the history of the game,
| it is easy to see the great value of one
pitcher who can stand the gaff from
season to season until he has hit the
century mark in games won.
The average pitcher in the big
leagues is lucky if he sticks that long,
and the per cent of pitchers who do
is very small, as the figures show.
Here is the list of the charmed
thirteen" taken from the records:

PLAN FOR WINTER PASTURES

With all kinds of grain needed for human consumption and commandipc exceptionally high prices, farmers should plan to put in more wheat rye, and oats for cover crops and winter pastures. Everyone should have enough winter pasture for all of his live stock. One of the best crops to be sowed for fall, winter and early spring pasture is rye. This cereal is very handy and seldom winter kills in this state.
 It makes rapid growth and does we'll during weather too cool for wheat or oats. As a green manure crop it is ready to be turned under in the spring before either wheat or oats. It is very suitable crop to be planted between rows of cotton, even on poor soil, for pasture or green manure.
 The Abruzzi variety, which is be. coming popular at least in the South. ern two-thirds of the state, is some. what earlier than common rye and as a rule produces larger and better grain. Abruzzi rye is not as hardy as common rye in northern districts of the state. Rye is usually planted at the rate of four pecks per acre. t can be planted somewhat later than wheat but otherwise the culture is the same.

FEEL WORSE AFTER VACATION.

The change from outdoor activity of vacation time to the quiet of regu- lar employment sometimes makes one feel heavy and stuffed up," uncom- fortable and bilious, with a mean headache, a nervous unrest and thick fly coated tongue. Instead of com plaining that "a vacation does no good" it is better to remove the trouble, which usually is the result of indigestion. Foley Cathartic Tablets give quick relief with no unpleasant ness or costive effects.
