ST. LOUIS TEAM
PLANS TO MOVE F,
TO FEDERAL PARK

st. Louis, Mo-, May s.-Rumors
that the st. Louis Nationals intended
to move to the old Federal league
park which is more commodious than
Cardinal field. were dissipated by a
statement from President Branch
Hickey that the club would not desert
it's old home.
II spent $4,000 for improvements
there last season." he explained, land
almost the same amoun this season.
l am willing to spend as much moro
as we need. but until after the war
the Cardinals will be found at their
old quarters. Later we intend to build
a field that will not be surpassed in
the United States"
Hickey also declared that the $780,
900 payment due this month on the
balance of the purchase price of the
Cardinals will be met promptly. Pres
ent stockholders of the club are
known to be conducting a vigorous
selling campaign but the extent Of

TWENTY YEARS IN
MAJOR LEAGUE N
HAS NEVER SEEN
A WORLDS SERIES

Indianapolis. May 3.-Twenty years
in the major leagues and never saw a
worlds series! ~. ~
Larry Lajoie, the new manager Of
the Indianapolis club Of the American
association, is the guilty party.
IT came mighty close to playing in
a worlds series, once, and that is the
closest I ever came to seeing, one."
Lajoie said. Sin 1908, when I was
managing the Cleveland club, we lost
the championship by half a game. I
almost saw a worlds series then, but
didn't"
Asked if he didn't care to witness
the sweepstakes of the baseball sea-
son. Lajoie said that he was ready to
&c home and rest after close of each
season and for that reason passed up
the big show every year.

JACK HENDRICK
BEING WATCHED
Goes to St. Louis Nationals
After IL Years Expert
ence in Minor Leagues

st. Louis. Mo-, May 3.-No person
in the major leagues. perhaps. has
been so closely watched by recognized
baseball critics thus far this season
as has Jack Hendricks. who. after
twelve years Of successful plotting in
the minor leagues, came to the st.
Louis Nationals this year as manager.
What r his tactics? What meth
DDS does he pursue to win? Is he a
car or is he gentle? Is he a good
loser? Will his men work for him ?
These are only a few of the questions
that have been asked and the first
them answered.
Hendricks let it be known at the
start Of the season that he is not the
one to refuse suggestions. He reserves
final judgment for himself. but play
ers who venture to tell their manager
what should be done under certain
circumstances are not rebuked-for
Hendricks is not a ear. He realizes
that he is new to the league, that he
is practically unacquainted with the
players and the strategy opposing him
and he has asked that there be no
modeety among his men.
Nor is Hendricks the type Of man.
ager who drives his players. Steady
as to composure. quick-thinking he
refuses to ride" his men for mis-
plays. This does not mean that he is
not critical. forvhe tells. every-man OF
his mistakes and impresses him with
the fact that he doesn't wish them re-
peated.
Unlike Fielder Jones. who pilots the
major league competitor in St Louis,
Hendricks does not keep a record OF
lays. He depends entirely on his
memory An example Of how closely
he follows every play and remembers
IT was given in a recent game when
in TIE eighth inning after a player

SPECULATION
AMONG TURF
ENTHUSIASTS
Kentucky Derby is less than
Two Weeks
Away.

Louisville. KY, May 3.-With the
kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs
less than two weeks off. there is much
speculation among turf enthusiasts re-
Earding the probable field which will
contest for the rich $4,000 event.
The classic at Churchill Downs is the
greatest Of all races on the American
turf, and sentiment prompts many an
wner to start n of his thorough
breds. which, on form. seems to have
6cant chance.
A glance at the list of eligibles
shows that there is a possibility of a
big field. How many go to the post,
however, depends entirely upon the
manner in which these 3-year-olds
continue to train and the showing
they make in the races at Lexington.
While there is at present a posi-
bility for a field Of sixteen or eighteen
starters, turtles are inclined to the
opinion that Derby Day will find nine
Or ten starters. Barring accidents,
Escoba, Everest, Sewell Combs. Sun
Briar, Aurum. Freecutter, War Cloud,
James T. Clark. Hilhampton and eth
err Plum or Olive Wood seem sure
starters. Doubtful starters are High
Cost, Jack Hare. Jr., Enos. Jaybird,
Flags, Duke Of Savoy and James Fos-
ter.
Owing to their splendid perform
ance as 2-year-olds, Sun Briar and
Escoba r the choices. 1t cannot be
said that these colts have trained ir
a satisfactory manner. There is nc
question regarding their class, but
critics agree it takes more than class
to win a race like the Kentucky Der.
by. Sun Briar and Escoba will star
at lexington. which will show their
condition and determine their chanc-
es for the Derby.
From the standpoint of condition
James T. Clark is in the best shape OF
n of the eligibles and he has work.
ed in sensational fashion, but horse.
men figure he lacks class. In the mat
ter of training Freecutter has worked
in the most satisfactory manner OF
any of the 3-year-olds and he also
possesses class.
The Lexington meeting may brins
Sur Briar and Escoba to their bes,
form. but many shrewd turfmen fig.
ure that Freecutter is the loeica
choice for the race because Of tn,
manner in which he has trained. SUI
Briar has failed to work up to expec.
tations. while Escoba threw a splint
which may interfere with his running
The uncertainty regarding the con,
ydltlons of h choices makes the Ken.
lucky Derby quite an open race. ant
speculation regarding the probabl,
winner will be rife until the eveninf
of May II.

LATAH COUNTY FARM SURVEY
SHOWS LABOR SHORTAGE

That there is great shortage OF
labor for farm work in Latah county
is shown by the survey of conditions
in this county made by O. S. Fletcher,
county, agent, working with the coun-
ty farm bureau Mr.. Fletcher has
made his report which shows all con-
ditions concerning the crop produc-
ticn problem in tins county. 1t fo.-
lows:
The Latah County Farm Bureau has
completed the farm labor survey OF
this county which was started some
time ago. 0. S. Fletcher, county ag-
ricultural agent, has just finished tab
ulating the results of the survey.
Practically every community in the
county has been covered. However,
not all farms are included. This is
due either to the fact that the local
committeeman of the farm bureau did
not get time to call on every farmer
in their districts, or to the farmers
not being at home when the commit
teemen called. The survey covered
CTS farms, with a total of 154 1926
acres. Of this land, 120,918 acres
are in cultivation.
Crop Situation.
The total acreage in crops this
year was 103,325 acres. Of this land,
1881 acres were in alfalfa, timothy,
or other similar crop cut for hay.
Next year it is expected that 99,203

acres will be in crop, II ,425 acres of
which will be hay crops. (These fig
ures do not include grains cut for
hay.) This year 1888 acres were
summer-fallowed, while it is expected
that 21,715 acres will be summer-fal-
lowed next year.
Labor Situation.
On the farms covered by the survey
there are $40 able bodied men of
draft age, and 286 able-bodied men or
boys over sixteen years of age, and
not of draft age. This gives a total
of 856 able-bodied men and boys liv-
ing on these farms. The survey shows
that total of 861 men are ordinarily
used the year around on these farms,
and that 924 year around men are
necessary to keep the farms up to
maximum production. These figures
show that there is a shortage of year
around men at present. These figures
do not consider the extra men needed
for the planting and harvesting sea
sons. The number of these extra men
that are needed is as follows: % dur
ing March, 1913 during April, III dur
ing May, 139 during June, 40 during
July, 8O8 during August, 533 during
September, "a during October, and a
few during November.
Only two men reported land as idle
the present year for lack of farm
help Forty three acres were idle for
