GIANTS GO TO THIRD POSITION
 AS CUBS WIN

New York, May 26-The Giants dropped timidly into third place when the Cubs gave them lopsided to thrashing at the Polo Grounds yesterday. The whole Giants works were out of kilter and rattled like a family skeleton. New York pitchers came and went, and some of the home lads handled the ball as if it was covered with molasses. candy. The Cubs tapped the two brothers-in-law, sJeff Tesreau and Pol Perritt, any time they needed runs, but they did not have to. get many hits, as bases on balls were on tap frequently.
 The gaunt figure of Steamer Al Demaree loomed' up in front of the Giants like BanQuo's ghost at Mac beth's banquet. Ever since Demaree was divorced from the Giants his one delight in life is in trying to show ,McGraw that he made mistake. Yes terday's victory was the eleventh time that theo stogie, smoker has defeated the Giants since he left the Polo Grounds. He has beaten McGraw's men eleven times in fourteen starts. This year Al hasn't been able to beat anybody much, but just as soon as. he reaches Harlem his pitching skill breaks out in malignant form.
 Demaree still uses resin on the ball and the Giants kicked to the umpires several times, fearing that Al was using some other foreign substance to aid his pitching. They can't be- lieve that Al doesn't use something besides that slow roundhouse curve. which sometimes floats up hardly swift enough to break through tissue paper. Lord Byron had an off day and didn't, put any one out of the game He was busy examining the baseballs, but he couldn't see any thing the matter with them.
 Pol Perritt> started out to pitch, and he carried out his original idea, until the sixth, when he began to slip. Pops brothef-in-law, Jeff Tes- reau, assumed the duties then, but he lasted only an inning. Then George Columbia Smith took a hand at it and, he didn't last long either. Jim Middleton finished the job.

Miss Bjurstedt Wins Pelham Tennis Cup
 Taking Three Straight

New York, May 26-Miss Molla Bjurstedt had little trouble yesterday in winning the final round of the womeh's singles in the invitation ten- his tournament of the Pelham Coun- try club. Miss Helen Guillideau, who had been playing a steady game, was expected to give the champion close roce for the honors, but the Nor wegian girl was in tip top form and won in straight sets by a, score of 6-3, 6-4.
 practically all the way through the match. In the second set her rival looked as if she might be able to take the set when she led at 4-S, but the champion pulled up and ran off with the next three games.

Fielder Jones Claims Ty Cobb Is Quickest
 Thinker In Baseball

Ty Cobb has no more ardent ad- mirer than Fielder Jones. manager of the Browns. Jones believes that there never was another ball player that could think so fast as the Georgia Geml He credits Ty with being one of the keenest students of the game that ever. lived.
 'T preach Ty Cobb to my ball play CTS day in and day out" said Fielder in discussing the Detroit star Every time we have meeting or I get a few of the boys together I hold him up as an example of what quick thinking and intelligence will do for a man.
 Nobody knows any more baseball than Cobb, and nobody learns more by experience than he. Every day and all day he is picking up new wrinkles about the old pastime. The trouble with the average ball player is that his work is largely mechanical. He goes out and plays the same style of game day after day and fails to observe what is going on around him. If he has a weakness, instead of studying himself and the opponent, he just takes it for granted that he always will have this particular fault and makes no effort to correct it..
 "One of these days hope to get Ty Cobb in a room for good talk on baseball. It will be a treat to me if I ever do this, for I will learn more from him in an hour than I could lIearn from the rest of the players in a year. That fellow has more good dope in his head than anybody else in the game and 1t will be worth a lot to me to get hold of him and have him give me some of it. When 1t comes to brainy baseball, Ty Is absolutely in a class by himself"
 Coming from a man that is acknowl- edged generally to be one of the great est baseball strategists that ever lived. this is real praise

BIGLEAGUE BITS

There is enc man who is particu- larly anxious to see the Cubs win the pennant. That man is Jim Gaffney. It was he who recommended Fred Mitchell to President Weeghman and naturally he wants to see his protege succeed.
 Speaking of good baseball, just cast your glance toward the Newark team of the International League. They say Jim Price is a, mighty pleased man these days and he has all reason to be, for his team is leading the cir cult and is very likely to keep it's place for long time, anyway
 Boy, page MT. Hendryx and hand him this bouquet. That Yankee out fielder is certainly delivering the goods His field work is excellent and he is hitting hard and often.
 The Yankees seem to be having g lot of hard luck and one wonders if the Old Hoodoo is lowering over Bill Dopovan's outfit. His field work is excellent and he is hitting hard and often.
 When Connie Mack expresses an opinion on baseball you can usually bet your bottom dollar he's right. Therefore it is interesting to note that he considers Meyer, the Athlet- ics' star backstop, a better catcher than Wally Schang.. Meyer has got to go some to live upFto that reputa- ton.
 Making runs on errors is like f1n6- ing 8 dellar bill under the bed when you're looking for a lost collar but ton.
 Col Ebbets is certainly an optin- ist. He refuses to be downcast over the weak showing of his Brooklyn team and is certain that before very long Robbie will have his men in the thick of the fight, and on top, too.
 Herbert Hunter still waiting for his chance to show in the big show. For the present the former Giant was sent by the Cubs to the coast.

 It is said Les Darcy was worried more than people suspected by the charge that he was stacker. While he was delirious in the hospital he protested he was no stacker and kept making outcries which indicated how much the charge had affected him. The fact that Darcy was the only boxer of prominence who had vo1un- teered to enlist entitled him to some consideration. It is true that Willie Ritchie tried to enlist in the aviation department but he is not regarded as an active fighter now.

ANOTHER GIANT 100000.


 The Giants have met, all their hoodoo pitchers this season so perhaps they can settle down and start that long delayed spurt. The last of the Jinx Brothers to make his appearance at the Polo Grounds was Steamer A. De- maree, who pitched the Cubs. to vic Jack Coombs of Brooklyn and Ragon of the Braves are other twirlers who have the s%Gn on McGraw's men.
 Demaree got a. job with the Giants by pitching against them when he was a member of the Mobile. Ala, club. He held McGraw's men to tie in an the strength of that job.> He pitched good ball for McGraw but was traded to the Phillies at the time the Giants Philadelphia Demaree proved bad medicine for the Giants, beating them 10 times out of 13 starts. During the winter he was traded to Chicago for Jimmy Lavender. Wearing the Cubs spangles evidently makes no differ ence to Demaree for he can still make the Giants jump through the hoop.
 SPRINGFIELD TOMORROW.
 The hard hitting Springfield club, which provided the fans with plenty of excitement last week will be the attraction at Newffeld park tomor- row afternoon. Bill Powers is likely to pitch for the Green Sox while Dug Smith or Oakley Woods will serve them for the home club. The Ameri- cans are about due to recover from their losing streak and may entertain the crowd with lots of batting.
 Smoky Joe Woods. formerly pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, makes his first appearance as Cleveland pitcher tody, when he opposed the New York Americans. Woods has an- nounced that his arm, which two years ago gave him much trouble. is back in form again.

An effort has been made in connec-
ton with the Potato and Corn Show at
Edgerton on Dec. 9th and 7th to have
men appear on the program who have
had practical experience in the lines on
which they are addressing the meeting
and have not only had experience but
have made success in that line.
Mr.. Decker of the High School fac
ulty is we'll enough known to need no
comment and the Rock county farmers
are anxious to have their Dane and
Jefferson county friends know how a
practical agricultural agent who was
born and raised on farm can help
them, as Mr.. Markham has done.
r. A. Moore of the University has
done more for corn than any man in
the state of Wisconsin and is consider
ed an authority on the subject. He
will do the judging of the exhibits.
The other three speakers, w. L.
Houser, A j. Glover and F. B. Dob
son, may not be so we'll known but they
are highly successful men as farmers.
w. L. Houser, owner of the Ethel
void Farms near Mondovi and men,
Der of the executive committee of the
Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders asso-
citation, has made careful study and
kept exact figures on the live stock
game and talks with authority on the
subject, having abundant proof to back
up his contentious.

work in some Of our neighboring states
and was picked by Hoard's Dairyman

ager of the Hoard farm. He has made
many experiments along the feeding
line and the result of his work will be
of especial value to the farmers at just
this time when feed is so scarce.
F. B. Dobson has made thorough
business of raising hogs on his farm
near Lancaster and has worked out
feeding methods this summer which
have proved very profitable and the ra-
tons he fed did not include any skim
milk or corn. With the present corn
conditions this should sound good to
our farmers.
This program merits your attendance,
the thing that is most necessary to
make these meetings a success.

Are You Loyal? Then Come and Eat!!

These are decidedly days which try
mems souls, but they are days which
more decidedly test everyone's loyalty.
If two rolls should be determined in
Edgerton, one of the loyal, the other of
the Stacker, both rolls would contain
the names of some, and how proud Ed
gerton might be would be determined
by the shame of her Stacker list.
Another opportunity is presented to
Edgerton's loyal people to make some
sacrifice that her sons who have de-
parted for war may have their sacri-
fees to some extent lessened. A cafe
terra supper will be given at the High
School building on the afternoon of
Saturday, December l. The Red Cross
organization has charge of the supper
and are soliciting food for the occasion.
The supper will start at 4:30 sharp, the
purpose of this early hour being that
those who come in from the surround
ing farmer communities shall have OPP
portunity to attend.
Let there be no supper in any loyal
Edgerton home on Saturday Of this
week. Remember the place = High
School Gym. Remember the time
4:3O until all are served. Remember
the cause = your country. Meet the
test, serve your country well, we guar
antee you will be we'll served.
The proceeds Of the supper are to be
used to supply every Edger ton boy who
is in the service of his country, sup
porting your flag, with Christmas
box. Some are in France, some upon
the high seas, others in various camps
and environments. Will you help to ex-
tend them some Christmas cheer?

Loyalty Program and Dance.

The response made by the loyal citi-
zens of Edgerton when the Ayataia
Club gave it's dance for the benefit of
the Edgerton soldier boys at Waco was
splendid The efforts Of the girls met
with we'll merited success. The sue
cess of this program and dance serves
as the inspiration for the holding of an
other such affair, on Monday night,
Dec. 3, the proceeds this time to be
used for other Edgerton boys who are
serving their country but who are To-
Gated elsewhere than at Waco.
A one hour program is to be render
ed, the light fantastic is to be tripped
to the strains of music given forth by
Thompson's orchestra. Loyalty to our
country but more especially to our Ed
gerton boys is such compelling force
that no citizen Of Edgerton should re-
fuse to take advantage of this privilege
which presents itself to contribute one
dollar toward such a worthy cause.
The following program will be rem
dered:
