WORLD SERIES MAY
BE DROPPED NOW

Chicago, July 2S.-There is likely
to be no worlds series this year as a
result of the drain on major league
baseball players by the draft, B. b,
johnson, president Of the American
league, said here last night. He said
the draft probably would take rs men
from the American league and that
the league would not play the series
II 1t were handicapped by that serious
a loss.
Mr. johnson also stated that his in
formation was that the ball players
would be drafted to the colors about
September l..
An interview by the American
league president in New York urging
al players not to claim exemptions,
gave rise to suggestions by baseball
experts here that the draft would re-
suit In recalling to the major leagues
many men now playing in the minor
leagues, who are over the age of the
draft. The smaller leagues will suffer
more from the draft, it was pointed
out, than the big leagues, owing to the
fact that young players now being
tried In h small clubs and these
leagues will show a larger percentage
taken by the draft than the others.
4 sincerely hope that ball players
IN both major and minor leagues, who
have been drafted, will go to the col
ors h claiming exemption" Mr..
Johnson said.

WILL PITCH AT
50, SAYS PLANK

Detroit, Mich, July 2s.-"I wouldn't
be surprised If I will be pitching base
ball when I'm 80 years old"
Eddie Plank, the 42-year-old south
paw of the st. Louis Americans, made
this statement to Detroit friends after
he had won the only victory which
his team vas able to take in the re-
cent fiye-game series with the Tigers.
Although Plank has lost much of
his speed n the sharp break on his
curve ball, he has developed a float
er" that will probably stop many bats
men before the Gettysburg wonder
closes his career. Plank's brains, plus
his control, enable him to pitch ef-
fectively with a minimum amoun OF
physical exertion. In the Detroit series
the ball came up to the plate as big
as a Zeppelin. The Detroit sluggers
lunged n swung, but seldom hit the
sphere safely.
In n inning Plank pitched slow
balls to Cobb. Ty hit one and popped

HIGH AVERAGE ON
PRICES OF CORN

Chicago, July 27.-Crop impair
ment In the southwest, q result OF too
much dry weather, led to q higher ay-
erage Of prices today for corn. The
market closed steady, lido off to lc
up. Wheat gained 8 1-2 to be, and
oats 7-s cents to i 1-4c. A net de-
cline Of S to ITO was shown In pro-
visions.
Sizzling heat intensified the ef-
fects OF continued lack of moisture in
the drought region. and hoisted the
value Of new crop deliveries Of corn,
despite the fact that field conditions
in the big central states remained Z
cellent. Likelihood Of a serious rail-
road strike here was not generally
known until after trading had about
ended for the day.
Predictions of a reduced yield OF
wheat in Minnesota and South Dako-S
t did a god deal to strengthen the
wheat market. Reports were current
also that notwithstanding ideal AR
vest conditions, the movement Of the
winter crop vas slow and that farm
ers in many sections were showing
disposition to withhold sales.
Oats advanced mainly on account
OF free buying supposed to be for
eastern interests. i
Weakness In provisions was due
mainly to a lack of support.

Chicago, July 2s.-corn has had a.

ers are not disposed to2followe the up-

AL PALZER SHOT
DOWN BY FATHER

Fergus Falls, Mimi, July 2s.-Al
Palzer. heavyweight fighter, ran a
mile and a half with a bullet hole
through his abdomen and another
through his arm last night, following
an attempt to save his mothers life
when his father, Henry Palzer, shot
wife and son.
The senior Palzer came here about
midnight in an intoxicated condition,
according to Al, and started quarrel
ing with his wife. Soon afterward,
AL says, he heard two shots. Running
downstairs in his night clothes, he
was met as he opened the door by a
bullet. which pierced his forearm. AS
he attempted to shield his mother, he
was shot again, this time through the
abdomen, the bullet cutting his in
testines and coming out of the back.
Palzer then left the house and ran
to Perham for assistance. At the hos
pital there, where he is confined, 1t is
said that his condition is grave and
that his recovery is doubtful. His
father was arrested, and although he
does not deny that he did the shoot
ing, claims that it was accidental.
Mike Gibbons of st. Paul is on his
way to Palzer's bedside, and other
fighters have wired offering assist

DETROIT CLUB MAY
QUIT HORSE RACES

Detroit, July 28.-Directors Of the
Detroit Driving club, which staged the
Grand Circuit races here. are pessi-
mistic over the outlook for a grand
circuit meeting here next year. The
of the closing day pro-
gram, which was to have been raced
today, indicates their attitude. The
officially given was a scarcity
of horses for the closing days race.
Although the weather was ideal for
racing, good marks were made, the
fields entered were fairly large, and
the attendance good, the elimination
OF betting, and the loss of revenue
from that, is understood to have had
great weight in d~iscouraging the back
ers of the meeting.

for an average sized steer. This will
weigh from 20 to 80 pounds. When
put in the silo it viii weigh so to IS
pounds. Every time we give a steer
dry fodder. he wastes one-third to
one-half Of II. The silage loss is
often only 5 per cent. This dry fod-
der feeds the steer one day. Fed in
the form Of silage. and with the other
feed to make q balanced ration 1t will

about correct in practice, but making
a greater allowance for variation we
can easily keep the same number Of
cattle on IL acres Of silage, as we
could keep with 10 to 20 acres Of
corn fodder. And when we compare
It with stalks standing in the field
Tor pasturage we are sc far ahead

Who would try to fattep steers on
standing corn stalks from which the
corn has been husked, and expect to
get a profit on the grain consumed?
Alma Henline,
Dawson County. s. D.
Solves the Feed Problem.
There are several all good
ones, I think, why I, as well as many
others, situated as I am in a country
certainly meant for stock farming,
should build a silo. We are in a
country where the quality Of the ma
tive grass Is Of the best, but the
quantity is not always sufficient to
make the gathering of winter feed q
satisfactory task. For that reason we
must depend on our cultivated crops,
which will furnish us with abundant
fodder If properly cared for.
The only thing against fodder as a
supplementary fed to balance our ma
tive pastures, is that by mid-winter
when we need it the most, it has
dried out here in this high, dry cli-
mate, and has lost considerable of its
feeding value. All this waste can be
avoided, more IONS Of available feed
be raised per acre, and we will have
a s%ucculent feed which, with the
prairie grasses. will keep our stock
in excellent condition, by using the
silo. The low cost Of building a silo
here should be an inducement as our
subsoil is hard and dry, and does not
cave easily. making everything favor
able for the construction of a pit
silo, which I understand have been a
success whenever properly built.
With no reasonable argument
against 1t, and every reason for the
building of silos, it is hard to under
stand why more people do not rec
ognize the silo as the solution of their !
feed problem.
