CROP REPORT FOR STATE
SHOWS QUANTITY OF FEED

The crop report issued by the
State Board of Agriculture gives the
condition of corn as 70 per cent
The cotton condition, " lille far be.
low that of last year, is not so
poor as was expected from indica,
tions in some local localities. The
report follows:
THE condition OF corn is 10 u
cent. Condition last month was 80
per cent and on same date one year
ago the condition of corn was 43 per
cent. In the western and southwes-
tern parts of the state the crop is
almost an entire failure, while in all
other sections the crop has bean
damaged considerably more than 90
per cent. This year is by far the
poorest season for corn that Oklaho-
ma has experienced since 1911, when
the average yield per acre for this
year for the state was G.5 bushels.
-Al Notiiitdtt Oh lHt average Yltlu
per acre for this year has not yet
been made, but prospects do not pro
mise as good yield as that of 1911.
"The condition Of cotton is 80 per

al league pitching, Rollins Zeider
once was one OF the American
leagues great infielders and he still
is something of a star, but his speed
is deserving him Charley Pick IS
youngster a fair hitter and only a
fair fielder
At shortstop there is nothing to
the comparison but the Cubs. Char
ley HOllocher is not only the seasons
sensation but he probably is the
greatest shortstop to come to the big
leagues in a decade. Although he is
spending his first year in major
league baseball he is hitting we'll
over 800 and his fielding is nothing
short of marvellous.
Everett Scott, the Sox shortstop,
is a fine fielder, but an atrociously
weak hitter
Jack Coffey for the SOx aud Char
ley Deal for the Cubs compare well.
Deal is the better hitter, but Coffey
is far the better fielder and base run
ner He is a veteran of good minor
leagues, with a wealth of experience
which makes him most valuable
man. He is a splendid fielder and
dangerous but not frequent as hit
ter Deal is a good fielder and a
hard hitter. His blows, while not
many usually come at opportune mo-
ments and are of the long variety
a great deal of the time
The outfield gives a slight edge to
the Red Sox with Strunk, Hooper and
Whiteman. Hooper and Strunk are
two sta's of the game while White
man is good enough in these war
times.
The Cubs will depend on Paskert.
a veteran, Flack, mediocre per.
former, and Mann, a brilliant player
at all times.
Vaughn, Tyler and Hendrix, that
sterling trio Of Fingers which has
pitched the Cubs into a National
league championship. probably will
lift the club into a worlds title
Vaughn and Tyler are left handlers
far above the average. while Hendrix
burly right handler has had his best
year this season Phil Douglas will
lie called upon for any further right
hand duty
Ruth Mays, Jones and Bush will
do the box work for Ed Barrow with
a chance that Ruth also will work in
the outfield
OF the quartet Ruth will have the
best chance against the Cubs. He is
a star in any company and will de-
feat the Cubs as surely as he starts
against them. Of the others little
can be said as opposed to Freu
Mitchells champions. Bush's skill
probably will be the greatest obsta-
Gle, while Mays cunning doubtless
will be easily overcome by the Cubs
Catchers compare favorably with
the Red Sox having an edge in that
they have two stars in Agnew and
Schang, while the Cubs will depend
wholly upon Killifer The latter is
looked upon in some quarters as the
best of the National league back
stops but he is not yet placed in the
class with Sehang.
