King Crabs For Hog Feed

King crabs are plentiful this year.
From Bombay Hook to Broadkin
Beach the shore has been lined with
king crabs, and the producers have
found that in the live state these
crabs have made an excellent food for
hogs. After every high tide, wagon
loads are being carted from the shores
to the pens, thus enabling those rails
ing hogs to feed them nourishing food
without mourning any considerable ex-
pense. If no unforeseen contagious
disease attacks the herds, the Della
ware laboring mar next winter will be
able to obtain his accustomed food at
reasonable cost.
Fifty years ago when sturgeon were
plentiful and not thought of value,
they were fed to hogs, chickens and
ducks.

came known recently that Duffy Lewis,
the crack outfielder of the team and one
of the stars of the diamond, plans 10
retire at the end of the season and
devote his time and attention to the
automobile tire business. Lewis has n
flourishing business in California, which
promises to net him greater financial re<
turns than the baseball diamond pea
Stbly could.
Lewis recently was offered the agen6N
in California for two popular prfe9H
cars Of great patronage. He also WAS
offered the agency for the same teftit
tory in another department of the aus
tomobile business, which he is thinking
seriously Of accepting.
At the same time J. Franklin BakNf
has intimated strongly that his farm
In Trappe, Md, holds greater attradk
tons for him than the uncertain strife
of baseball. This is not the first timK
that Baker has threatened to retired

ball men call a crack money player.
That Is to say, that he is a mar to do

The loss Of Baker would leave a gap

ence to the game crops UP at times.
This is especially true in running out
hits. He almost refuses to run out a
