Rats are among the worst pests
about the poultry house. They not

be dug below the frost line and forms

one part portland cement, three parts
sand and six parts gravel will prove
plenty strong enough for this pur-

After 1t is well set forms can be
removed, the floor leveled up and Gov

floor can be made smooth and level by
a straight edge board. Frequently .

troweled to a smooth finish. Beginning
the day after the floor is laid it should
be sprinkled two or three times daily

cracking.

IN WORLDsSSERIES
JEFF Tesreau Hopes To Pitch
First Game for Giants.
Veiock Thinks He Will Be One
of the Shining Stars.
BY JACK vEIoCK.


Big JEFF Tesreau is the dean of the
Giant pitching staff. They call him
Jeff because his name is Charles, but
that is neither here nor there.
Tesreau has been pitching contin-
uousiy for the Giants since 1911, when
he was with the Toronto club of the
Old Eastern league. and since he join
ed the tea mMethewson and his for
NOR pitching mates have passed along
to other clubs or to the minors.
He is landmark of McGraw's old
National league champions of 1912
and 1913, and when the Polo Ground
ers get into the big series this fall the
Ozark Bear hopes to be called from
the dugout to pitch the opening game
A Double Giant.
Tesreau is a two-way Giant, for he
stands six feet three inches in height
and tips the scales at 200 pounds and
| over. His mighty right arm has been
a terror to National league batsmen
for the past six years, and altho he
| is not a spectacular pitcher by any
MEANS he is rated as one of the hard
est men in the National league to beat
Tesreau uses great speed and is re-
markably fast in fielding his position
| when his size is taken into considera-
ton. He looms up like one of his ma
tive Ozark hills when standing on the
| hurting mound, and in pitching he
uses long, sweeping motion that en-
ables him to put his shoulder behind
| the ball.
Though Big Jeff is the dean of the
Giant staff, he is by no means the
oldest pitcher, working on National
| League time. He was born at Iron
ton, Mo-, March s. 1889, and celebrat-
ed his twenty-eighth birthday this
year.
| He Began Career In 1905.
He started playing ball with the
Perryville (Mo.) Independents back in
1908, and his size, strength and eff
fectiveness got him trial in the
Texas League the following year
when he played with the Galveston,
Houston and Shreveport clubs. Then
| Shreveport sold him to the Giants on
August 27, 1910, and after looking him
over McGraw decided that he needed
more experience. for he was a cum
bersome fellow who really did not
| know how to stand in the box when
McGraw first secured him.
After a season with Toronto the big
boy began to bloom out as a real find.
| He knocked off the rough edges and
proved a most valuable asset to the
| Toronto club by winning fourteen
games. He was credited with nine
defeats, and in all worked in thirty
five games for that club.
Best Seasons In '1S and IA.
| As a member of the Giants Tesreau
has always been a winner. His best
seasons were 1913 and 1914, when he
worked like a truck horse for the
New York club, winning twenty-five
games and losing thirteen in 1913, and
piling up twenty-six victories against
ten defeats in 1914. Tesreaus work
| this season has not been as brilliant,
but he is still a great pitcher. and,
given a chance to rest up for time,
he should prove a stumbling block in
the path of any worlds series oppo-
| nents.
