Watching the Super Six

About the only excitement in the city
Friday was watching the steady coming
and going Of the Hudson Super-Six which
is being driven between this city and Au-
gusta b. the P. NJ. Lawrence Co. in an
attempt to break the non motor stop rec
ord. The car attracted a great deal of
attention each time it appeared on the
streets, and the smooth, easy running Of
the motor was especially noticeable. A
number of Waterville people have already
enjoyed the ride between this city and
Augusta and have found that it was a
very pleasant one. The conditions so far
have been anything but good, and Mr.,
Lawrence has been plugging along in the
hopes that they will he better and thus
give the car a more reasona BILE show.

RYE SEEDED AS COVER CROP
Planted In cornfields II Frequently
Can Be Utilized as Late Fall or
Spring Pasture.

Rye seeded as a cover crop in corn
fields can frequently be utilized for
late fall and early spring pasture, or
can be allowed to mature and be
hogged down with satisfactory results.
At the Last cultivation Of corn, rye
can be seeded at the rate of six to
eight pecks per acre. 1t will furnish
nutritious pasturage by fall in favor
able seasons. In the spring the crop
may be used for pasture or plowing
under, or hogs may be turned into the
field after the grain is ripe.
Six pigs averaging A pounds In
weight were fed on quarter Of an
acre Of rye for 40 days at the Ohio
experiment station. During this time
they made an average daily gain of
half pound. While hogging down the
rye the pigs were fed a fifth Of a
pound of tankage apiece daily.
Rye as a general rule cannot COM
pete with corn for hogging down, ac-
cording to specialists at the expert
ment station. It may be substituted
economically for corn when it is diff
cult to harvest and thresh and when
its price per pound is about the same
as that Of corn.

FIND PHYSICAL WEAK SPOTS
Many Baseball Players Have Athletic
Hearts and Flat Feet-others
Have Broken Toes.

The physical examination for the
army reveals the fact that very large
number of ball players are affected
with athletic heart, which is bar to
enlistment. 1t is claimed that every
man over twenty-five Is troubled In
that way. Then there are broken toes
without number among the average
players on the average team. There
is also usually broken leg or arm,
crooked elbows, torn or misplaced lig.
aments and various other ailments.
In one respect alone players will
stand the test and that is eyesight.
It is certain that hardly player un-
der thirty-one will fail in this. If he
does he has succeeded in foOling his
manager, since the slightest impair
ment of the vision ruins him as ball
player.
It probably would not be suspected.
but many players will be rejected on
account of fiat feet. For some reason
probably half Of the ball players lack
normal insteps. Bunions also are par
ticularly common. Both the fiat feet
and bunions are caused by wearing
baseball shoes, which have always
shown a tendency to 'remake" the
feet In q few years.

BATTERs CAUSE. MUCH DELAY
One Reason Given for Unnecessary
Time Consumed In Ball Games-
No Good Reason for Il

The attention Of umpires is called to
the fact that growing practice on
the part Of batters is one reason why
baseball games sometimes are longer
than they need be.
The habit Of batters stepping out Of
the box for little or no cause is spread
ing and there is no good reason why
1t should be allowed. What is meant
is batters, in moment Of petulance
at real or fancied deliberateness on the
part Of the pitcher, stepping out Of the
box and thus wasting more time.
At the least sign Of slowness or hes
itancy by the pitcher, out Of the box
steps the batter, much as a peevish
child might be expected to do. It's
childish thing to do, anyway.

BALL DIDN'T TOUCH GROUND
Fielder chases Up Ladder, Gets Pill

Tex Jones, who used to play with
the White Sox and now Is out in the
Western league somewhere, says this
play actually happened in a game he
took part in. It's real 'tank town"
story, at any rate.
The playing field was along a rail-
road track, and there was q water tank
without roof on 1t Just back Of the
center fielder. The batter hit a high
fly, and It landed plunk into this open
water tank. The batter thought he
had a home run. 30 he logged around
Mt his leisure, but the center fielder
chased up the ladder at the side Of the
water tank, reached in, got the ball
that had come to the surface Of the
water. and from his perch threw home,
getting the runner by q step. -
The umpire studied the rules, held

FREAKIEsT PLAY OF SEASON /
with Three on Bases In st. Louis Game
Rousch, Caught OF First Lands
Safely on Second.

One Of the freak plays Of the season
happened in game of the recent
Cardinals-Reds series in st. Louis. In
one inning the Reds had three men on
bases and Rousch. on first, was caught
OF that bag. Instead of trying to get
back to first, Rousch ran for second,
and Paulette ran after him with the
ball. AS Rousch came in to second.
Kopf, who held that base, lit out for
third, SO Paulette took after him.
Kopf landed on third, where Fred
Tony was anchored and refusing to
bulge. Paulette tagged Kopf and he
was out, while Rousch was safe on Sec
ond. How did they score the play2
Rousch advanced to second on Kopfs

PLAYERS PRAISE EACH OTHER
Jack coombs Says George Burns 10
Hardest Batter to Fool-latter
Iauds Pitcher.

Some time ago Jack Coombs, the
Brooklyn pitcher, was discussing his
work and his methods of pitching to
the different batters. He was asked
what batter he found 1t hardest to
pitch to. That's hard question to
answer" he replied. They're all
hard and any batter In the league, no
matter how carefully you figure him
out. Is liable to cut loose at any time
and upset all your calculations"
When asked to name the batter who
gave him the most trouble. he named
George Burns, the Giants left fielder.
George Burns Il a good batter" said
Coombs, ~and it's hard matter to fool
him, becnuse he rarely strikes at a
bad ball. He's pretty tough propo-
sition for pitcher" Some time later
Burns was asked what pitcher he
found hardest to hit. He didn't hesi-
tate moment. THAT'S easy" he
said. Jack Coomba"

GOOD WORK OF INocuLATIoh
That Leaumes Are Benefited 10 Shown
by Several Experiment Stations
Increases Growth.

Farmers sometimes question the ad-
visibility Of inoculating legumes. That
legumes are benefited by incubation
has been shown by several experiment
stations. The Wisconsin, Illinois and
other stations have shown that inocula-
ton gives decidedly beneficial results.
In the first place. incubation in
creases the total growth Of the plant,
giving greater yields Of hay. In most
test cases the hay crop has been in
creased about 20 per cent and in some
instances 1t has been doubled. Not
only is more hay produced, but the hay
is richer in protein and consequently
Of higher feeding value, according to
w. A. Albrecht of the University of
Missouri college Of agriculture. Cow
pea hay from plants, inoculated at the
Illinois station, contained 26 per cent
protein while plants not treated car
ried but 1914 per cent Of this valuable
food constituent. incubation enables
the plant to get nitrogen from the air
in addition to that from the soil. This
not only conserves the supply, but
when the crop is turned under it in
creases the nitrogen content Of the
soil.
incubation, then, is beneficial be-
cause it increases the yield and i'm
proves the quality Of hay and enriches
the soil through the nitrogen Of the
air. These benefits justify the expense
and trouble of incubation.
