The boy is really the son of a

He is foiled at every turn by

In one of these fights with the

Last years batting averages
don't count"
This cryptic remark was made
to me in the spring by foxy Clark
Griffith of the Nationals in a dis
cussion Of big league hitters.
Never has the remark proved
more worthy of consideration than
right now.
Looking over recent batting
averages one finds that only one
of the really greats of American
league swatsmen of 1917 Is any
where near his last year form.
Cobb Is batting under .290,
Speaker is just over the 800
mark. Veach and Felsch are down
the line considerably.
Sisler is the only one of last
years heavy bitters who is up
there.
The places have been taken by
Babe Ruth, who as pinch hitter
and general utility man as well as
pitcher is leading the league;
lilly Walker, who fell down pitt
fully last year; George Burns, let
go by Detroit because he could
not stick we'll enough, and Home
Run Baker. who has not hit up to
his old time standard for three or
four years.

Giant Maciste Is

Maclste, hOw-de-do!
We see that in spite of all the
mean things that we said about
you last time that you have re-
turned. Congratulations, we see
that your nerve is as strong as
your muscles and so your taste
for clothings. tThats not very
good joke, is it?)
But in spite of his checks, II
would be somewhat convenient ia
have a little Maciste in your home,
specially about the time the rent
man comes around.
Maciste is strong, he is all
rough and bumpy with strength
but he's regular fellow and nc
Stacker, either.
He was with the Italian army
during some of the most strenuous
fighting in the Alps and was
wounded several times. The
movie public today is getting
somewhat weary of having some
sweet little lady-like Stacker and

Last Years. Batting
AVERAGES Don't Count

A similar situation exists in the
National league. Roush and
Hornsby, the sensations of last
year, are down in the ruck while
their places are usurped by Larry
Doyle, who was thought to be
about thru; Red Smith of Bos-
ton, Fred MerKle of the Cubs and
Jake Daubert of Brooklyn, all of
them old timers. Benny Kauff is
the only 1917 hitting star who is
repeating this year.
or course the season is barely
on its way. Cobb is due to great
ly improve his batting. So is
Speaker. Cobb has been bothered
by illness this year. He did not
get started right, and was thrown
out of the game by an injury just
when he began to show signs of
bolstering up his batting average.
Speaker has had a disastrous bat
ting slump.
It's harder to figure on Roush
and Hornsby. Both are young
and their performances last year
were the first which showed phe-
nOmenal promise, but it is safe
to predict that both will be find
ing their batting eyes before the
season is much further advanced.
But at the best Griffith is right.

to abolish professional baseball
but the semi-pro and amateur
teams can keep up the country's
interest in baseball, also relieving
much of the war strain, with Sat
urday and Sunday games in the
parks where professional players
now hold forth as well as in the
parks now devoted to the smaller
attractions.
And these teams will not play
an inferior grade of ball, either.
Many players now in the major
leagues, IL they become war work
ers, will appear on the rosters of
these semi-pro clubs just as has
happened in Tacoma. Some cities,
in fact, really will retain big
league ball minus only the league
and other attending features that
come from organization for a
daily schedule.
One thing is certain. The coun-

it and this, l am certain, never

The importance of keeping up the
sugar beet acreage SO as to guarantee
at least normal production IS urged
upon farmers by the department OF
agriculture. Production for next year
Is necessarily limited by the available
seed supply and to the relatively small
areas where there are beet sugar mills.
Consequently many sections Of the
country in which soil and climatic con-
dltions are suitable for q much greater
production of beet sugar probably can
not be utilized.
Because Of the imprac Of

sugar beet production is limited to the

and it is in these areas that most of

TIMBER NECK IN THE SOUTH
Trouble Caused by Ptomaine Poison
Ing Where Fowls Pick Up vari.
Gus Dead Animals.

Timber neck, which Is more COM
mon in Southern states, is caused by
ptomaine poisoning from eating de-
cayed flesh. Where fowls run at
large they frequently pick up dead
rats, mice or other animals. and in
this way become affected with the
germs. which quickly cause death.
Whole flocks are sometimes wiped
out in the course Of few weeks.
Prevention is the best remedy. If
you are losing chickens from this
cause shut up the flock and feed them
on sound sweet grain and feed. A
simple effective treatment Is to use
permanganate Of potash. Put an ounce
Of the crystals in quart bottle and
fill 1t with water. Add enough of this
to the drinking water to give it rich
