PITCHERS
BRILLIANT
Sox Boxmen Backed to Hold
OFF McGraw Sluggers and
Comiskey Artillery Will
Be Well Protected.
BY h. c. HAMILTON

(united Press star Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, Sept 10. - Shining
superbly all season despite the offset
ting brilliance cast by the boxrnen of
Boston, Chicagoa's pitchers viii go in
to the worlds series backed heavily to
hold of the McGraw sIuggers and take
the edge off anything that the New
York fingers may be able to show.
Cicotte, Russell and Faber. the three
of the first line defense cast a brilliant
reflection in the American league. As
compared with National Leaguers they
attain heights that McGraw's men
hardly will find it possible to reach.
Schupp. Benton and Sal1ee. a trio of
left-handed stars. will be the main de-
Tense of AIcGraw. but more than one
critic expects Poll Perritt. right-hander
TO prove the real pitching star for the
Giants.
1t has been stated that the White
Sox viii find the going hard against
left hand fingers, but no one ever has
had the temerity to charge Eddie Cor-
Inns and Joe Jackson. swingers from
the south side. with any unusual fear
Of a left-side curve ball Collins and
Jackson have been macing high class
pitching from every angle for so long
they have come to take the left-hand-
ers as matter of course and hit with
equal agility against right and left
handlers. Hap Felsch does his batting
from the right hand side. so the Comis-
key heavy artillery VIII be we'll pro-
tected against the eft-handers.
1t is probable Rowland will send
Cicotte in to open against the Giants
leaving Faber for the second days
struggle with Russell for the third
game. These three pitchers should be
able to work in rotation. provided the
usual worlds series custom is follow
ed. Two games doubtless will be play
ed in each city. with jump to follow.

would have four day rest.
The same principle holds good for
McGraw. with Benton probably to start.
Sallee to follow. and Schupp to pitch
the third game It is likely that one
Of these will be shot from the box
probably Sallee, and that would mean
right-harded relief-possibly Tesreau
or Anderson. Nobody would be left but
Perritt.
The former Cardinal stands the best
chance Of beating the Sox. but It isn't
considered at all likely that McGraw
will use him unless forced to do so by
failure Of his southpaws. Next to Per
rift stands Benton and then schupp
sallee on the face Of the seasons rum
ming. should stand fourth in effective
ness against the American league |
champions.
Cicotte will prove tough proposition
for the Giants, if he is in the right
kind Of form. Figuring Benton TO start
against him the battle should be finely
drawn. with plenty of action. With
Sallee starting the second game. Faber
should find It not a hard matter to win
his game. And if Schupp starts in the
third contest. Russell probably will
prove more effective.
Russell's case is perplexing If he
isn't just right he won't be given shot

The three left-handed stars OF the
Giants top the list in National league

regular who has accumulated a top
average for Chicago. The reason is
found in the number of games the
hurlers have appeared in. Cicotte for
instance has worked in more than
forty-flve pastimes. and has won about
twenty-five of them. Not a New York
hurler approaches that service.

AUTOS TO AID IN HARVEST
Flying Scuadrons Being Organized
Throughout State to Take Labor
ers To and From Fields.

Madison = The state council Of de-
Tense has appealed to automobile own
ers to enlist in the flying squadron
which will help harvest the 1917 crop
in Wisconsin.
Kenosha county organized the first
squad several weeks ago, and there
many women enlisted not only their
machines but their own services.
Langlade county has flying squad
ron which will take labor to and from
the fields, and in addition the business
men of Amigo will suspend their own
work for ten days to give the country
districts the benefit Of the labor thus
released.
In many cases farmers wives will
be unable to feed the extra help need
ed, and it will be the duty Of the fly
ing squadron in the district to carry
the labor from the cities to the fields
and bring the men back to their homes
at night. Under this arrangement but
one meal will be furnished at the farm
and in many cases lunches will be
furnished which can be easily aug
mented from the farm kitchen.

CHEESEMEN SURRENDER
TO SILOS AND SILAGE

The last trench in the fight for sill
age has been taken.
For years many dairymen were pre-
JUDGED against feeding silage. Grad
ually the objection gave way; Ameri-
can cheesemakers and creamerymen
were won over, and now Swiss cheese
makers have withdrawn their Opposi-
ton.
J. L. Sammis Of the dairy depart
ment Of the College Of Agriculture,
who has been making cheese from
milk from silage-fed cows as well as
from milk produced from other feeds,
reports that Wisconsin cheesemakers
are now quite willing to have silage
fed to cows which supply milk for
their factories.
The Swiss cheesemakers were the
last to surrender to silage. AS an ex-
ample Of interest in the matter, the
outhernWisconsin Cheesemakers' as
ISOLATION passed resolutions two years
ago asking the agricultural experiment
station to study the problem Of feed
ing silage to COWS that supplied milk
for cheese.

been sane when he wrote the threat
ening letter to Mrs. Villas, and went

SHIELDS FOUND NOT GUILTY
Superior Politician Is Freed Of Federal
Charge Involving Woman.-Jury
Out Four Hours.

La Crosse - Robert j. Shields, well
known Superior politician, is a free
man. A jury in federal court here re-
turned a verdict of not guilty after
considering for four hours all the
evidence which the government intro
duced in it's white slave case against
the Superior business man in an effort
to send him to the penitentiary.
He was charged with bringing Miss
Jeanette Palmer, also known as Mary
Ganley, from Chicago to Superior in
1913 for the purpose of starting
house of i'll fame.
An Indictment was returned in 1915
during the term of the late John A.
Awkward as district attorney AyI-
ward and Shields were bitter political
enemies, but the former died before
he could prosecute the Superior man.
The testimony in the case was of
conflicting nature as to dates, and
William S. Forest, leading Chicago
criminal lawyer, clearly established
motive of revenge on the part of Miss
Palmer, evidence which the jurors be-
lieved, it developed after the verdict.

OWEN is AFTER MILKMEN
Investigating Report of Illegal Vary
ing Price by Southern Wiscon-
sin Concern.

Madison - Disregard of a law, re-
Eating to the purchase of milk, passed
by the last legislature has just been
brought to the attention of Attorney
General Walter c.. Owen.
A large milk concern, operating
largely in southern Wisconsin, has
sought to gain a foothold in one of
the lake shore counties by paying
prices in excess of those paid either
in it's home community or by the
cheese factories and creameries in it's
new field. The difference in it's two
rates varying at times upwards OF 81
"a hundred.
Attorney General Owen has not is
sued a ruling on the question, but
lsaid he was making an investigation.
This law which was fathered in the
legislst ure by Assemblyman Grell of
Jefferson county prohibits the pur-
chase of milk by concern at varying
prices in the different localities in
which it operates.

Villas County-Ten tons Of dynamite
unloaded here the other day. There
will be more land cleared in two
months this year than in any f1ve-year
period befo, :.
Taylor County - Farmers want all
the dynamite they can get and more,

GUARD EQUIPMENT
At CAMP DOUGLAS
TENTAGE, BLANKETS AND OTHER
SUPPLIES ARRIVE AT MOB
ILIzATIoN GROUNDS.
EXPECT TO GO SOUTH SOON
Stay of Wisconsin Troops at Camp
Douglas Will Be Short-Impres-
sion Is Growing That They Will
Be in Waco, Tex, Aug. IS.

Madison-The tentage for the entire
Wisconsin National guard has arrived
at Camp Douglas and also the blan-
kets and other equipment. The entire
guard will be under tents in Camp
Douglas within ten days.
The artillery, the cavalry and the
Third infantry, which has been in the
federal service since March 25, are
now all at Camp Douglas, with the ex-
ception of details of the Third on
guard duty. The other regiments will
move in this week, according to orders
from Gen Barry of the Department Of
the Lakes. In just what order they
will move cannot be said, as no notiti-
cations are sent out for movement of
troops until everything is ready.
The troops can be drilled at Camp
Douglas regularly as long as the war
department desires that they remain
there. An impression is growing
stronger, however, that the stay of
Wisconsin troops in Camp Douglas
will not be for long as the war de-
partment, so far, has given no hint
that they will not be moved south
quickly. 1t Is likely all of the troops,
unless the order is changed, will be in
Waco, Tex, by Aug. Is.
Pending the transfer of the troops
ITO the South, however, there will be
maneuvers and drills at Camp Doug
las There is plenty of land there for
all the dill work which may be de-
sired
Artillery drill has been going on in
the camp ever since the artillery regi-
ment was concentrated there. Cavalry
drill will begin at once.

Wisconsin Needs
More SilOS
By w. e. MARkEY
University OF Wisconsin

That the silo and the dairy COW
should be inseparable is an old, old
story in Wisconsin.
The anticipated scarcity and high
price of all feedstuff during the COM
ing winter, the possible danger of the
corn crop being overtaken by an early
frost, and an honestly patriotic desire
to increase the total output Of all
dairy products are three very urgent
reasons why all dairymen who do not
have silos should consider building
them this summer
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1917-08-02
Suitable June Pastures.

June pasture is the ideal feed for
all classes of live stock-particular
the dairy COW; silage is the best sub
stitute for June pasture that it is pos
sible to provide. The effect of well
preserved silage is similar to that of
good pasture; it is slightly laxative
and helps to keep the animal in Wig
orous, healthy condition.
SiIo Prevents Waste.
The silO preserves the corn crop
with the minimum amount of loss be-
cause the entire plant is utilized for
food. Silage furnishes palatable feed
of uniform quality that is always near
at hand. No need of fighting the ele-
ments or wading through mud and
snow in all kinds of weather TO haul
shock corn from the field.
The loss in dry matter from corn
when shocked and husked in the usual
way. under the most favorable cOndi-
lions. ranges from 20 to 20 per cent.
When put into the silo, the loss is only
IS to 10 per cent.
From 20 to 50 per cent of the dry
fodder. when fed in the usual way, is
wasted. Coarse, trashy stalks are also
Objectionable in hauling the manure.
II they are allowed to remain in the
BARNARD all summer to rot, much of
the fertility in the manure will leach
away.
Points About the SiIo.
The silo will save q frozen corn
