PHIL BALL IS EXPECTED
TO STEP DOWN AND OUT
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

As a result of the $4,000 damage
suits brought against Phil Ball by
Derril Pratt and Johnny Lavan,
second baseman and shortstop, re-
spectively, of the st. Louis Browns,
a new owner is expected to be an
nounced before the Brownies start
upon another campaign in the Amer
ican League. Ban johnson wasted
no time IN rushing the Mound
City and examining conditions for
himself.
Pratt is a graduate Of the Univer-
sity Of Alabama. Lavan is a gradu-
ate of the University Of Michigan
and a practieing physician in St.
Louis during the off season. Both
are high grade athletes. There is
nothing Of the Hred neck" about
either player. Ball could not have
found stronger opponents than Pratt
and Lavan for a tilt before the bar
of justice.
Charging that his team laid down"
before the White Sox, Phil Ball made
a record for Ban Johnson's circuit
No other magnate ever made such a
statement. John McGraw left the
field at Brooklyn last fall because his
''Giants were not trying" or some
thing like that, but Balls statement
in ST. Louis is the first OF its kind
for the American League.
What johnson said.
During the National League scan
dsl, Ban johnson was quoted as say
ing, IF that happened in my league,
I'd mighty soon find out all about
IT and, IL any guilty men could be
found. I'd blacklist them"
The old league allowed the Brook
lyn scandal TO die down.

SAySFRAzEE WILL
DROP DEAD IF HIS
TEAM Wins FLAG

CHICAGO, Sept 1S.-lf the Red
sox should happen to cop the Amer
ican League title, after all, Harry
Frazee, their owner, wouldn't live to
enjoy It, in the opinion of Ban john
son.
The American League head-waS dis
cussinE the offer made OF 81 900 to
each member Of the club in the event
they did the seemingly impossible.
That offer of FraEee's was pure
ly a cheap piece Of theatrical adver-
tisinE," said johnson. IL the Red
Sox win Frazee would fall dead"
All Details Settled.
Regarding the worlds series, John
son announced today that all trans
portation problems had been settled,
in case the Giants and the White
sox are opponents. He said five spe-
cial trains will be needed and that
railroad officials have promised to
run them on twenty-hour schedules,
the fastest time permitted between
New York and Chicago.
The series, according TO johnson, IS
practically certain TO open October 8.
II New York valves its right to toss
for the opener the series will, un-
doubtediy, open here, though, they
can play a Sunday game on October {.
Hame Fans Come First.
johnson said nonresident fans
would be given secondary considera-
tion in the matter of games played
IN Chicago.
The fans IN San Francisco, Port
land and Honolulu contribute practi-
cally nothing toward the support of
major league ball, and it Is not fair
for the regular patron to turn him
down at a world series sale in favor
OF out-of-town folks, he said.
The White soX have completed
their exhibition games for the sea
son, and will leave for Detroit to-
night to play three games in two
days.

was an open secret that Lannin would
not head the Boston club another
year. He didn't.
Came From the Feds.
With Otto Stifel, wealthy St.
Louis brewer, Phil Ball was one of
the Federal League hackers taken
over into the American League when
the Terriers went out OF business and
Colonel Hedges. the leagues pest. was
induced to sell his holdings in the
Brownies.
Ball has until now been considered
a good sportsman, q man willing 10
do anything for ST. Louis. Indeed, 1t
may be dissatiEfaction over the poor
work OF the Browns that brought his
charges OF laying down"
But the American Leagues coming
pennant winners have been placed in
a bad light by Balls alleged charges
II is on this account that Ban John
son is expected to get busy during
the winter, finding a successor to
Phil Ball as owner and head Of the
St Louis club.
Ayers Making Good.
The success OF Doc Ayers as the
season vanes has opened up a wide
field for discussion among the fans
who still stay with the Griffmen.
They are wondering why he has not
been used more this season.
When Ayers was obtained from the
Richmond club, he came with the
reputation OF being an iron man"
He is a big fellow, strong as a bull
and far more willing. But he has
done most OF his work in the bull
pen, warming up TO take the hard
rubs OF fate after some other weaker
man had received his bumps and put
the team in a hole.
Used regularly I'm turn. Ayers would
be winning pitcher, say many bugs.
He is now finishing the campaign in
fine style and, II in shape, should be
started as a regular next spring.

GOOD CARE OF SETTING HEN
One Of Best Feeds Is Corn, Together
With Green Food, Grit, Plenty of
Water and Dust Bath.

The setting hen must have her daily
care and attention, just like the incu-
bator. One of the best foods for set
ting hens is whole corn or corn chop,
together with green food, grit and
fresh water. Place the corn and water
in front of the nest so that during the
first day or two the hen will not have
to leave her neststo eat and drink. On
the third day release her and scatter
grain on the ground.
Try to have it so arranged that she
can get dust bath. A formula for
good dust bath is equal parts Of coal
ashes and land plaster or fine sand
and some lice powder. Let the hen re-
main off the nest for about five min
utes. The next day take her off at
the same hour. if possible, and from
then on she may stay off the nest un-
til the eggs are cooled to blood heat
The hen should be busted with lice
powder, and the second time on the
eleventh or twelfth day, and again
three days before Matching. One may
omit the second dusting, but not the
third on the eighteenth day. as the
hen should be free from lice before the
chicks hatch.
