FARM BUREAU NOTES

Farmers having seeds of any kind
for sale will do we'll to send to the
Farm Bureau office a description of
the same with the price attached as
already inquiries for certain seeds are
coming in. In sending in the infor-
nation be sure to give name, post
Office address, township and section
number as it will greatly help the
buyer to locate you.
II will be a paying proposition in a
great many cases, at least for far
mers who have seed or stock of any
kind for sale to advertise it in their
local papers. 1t is surprising how
many farmers in the county are send
ing outside for seeds and breeding
stock of various kinds when they
could get just as good, and in many
cases, better, right near home. In
most cases the men sending away
would be glad to buy the home pro-
duct. We will gladly inform such
where this stock can be located as far
as possible, but do not know where to
find much of this stuff.

Barley Variety Tests Will be Put Or


Practicing what we have preached
in the above about advertising, we
take this opportunity to announce
that Barley variety test will be put
on in two places in the county by the
Farm Bureau this coming spring if
two progressive Barley growers who
will cooperate in the work can be To-
Gated. The idea is to secure seed
enough of two varieties, bred by Prof.
Spragg of NJ. A. G. for three acres,
two acres of the variety Michtorow
and one acre of Michigan Black to be
sowed in a field along side Wisconsin
Pedigree Barley, that the best variety
for Van Buren, county conditions can
be determined.
The Michtorow and Michigan Black
are two very promising varieties which
have yielded fine at the College farm,
and also been remarkably free from
barley stripe disease. While we are
not maing any big claims for these
barleys, it does look as though the
grower who gets in on the ground
floor and has seed to sell will have a
fine thing. The man who does the
variety test for this county only six
bushels Of Machorow and three bushel
of Michigan Black. This is register
ed seed and the cost for each man tax
ing up the proposition will be about
$1,000. This covers cost Of seed,
sacks and freight Fields seeded with

HOW BALL PLAYERS
 1. PASS THE WINTER IS GOOD SCENARIO
Habits of Tribe During Cold Weather Are Excellent Cause for Someone
 Writing Book
By MALCOLM MAcLEAN

Atlanta, Ga, December 22.-(Spe-
 cial. .)-'How Ball Players Spend the
 Winter would make an excellent title
 for a book. Like men in other walks
 of life, stars of the diamond have their
 own peculiarities, likes and dislikes.
 It's a mighty task to get the aver
 age ball playei to write a letter. Some
 times man appears on the scene who
 becomes a pal of the stars, and to
 whom they write long epistles. Such
 letters rarely are made public, and for
 this reason I take pleasure in offering
 few penned by well-known perform
 CTS to Tom Durl<in of Chicago, who
 knows more stars ultimately than any
 fan I know of.
 Red Faber. sox pitcher, writes Dur
 kin from Helix, Ore. He says, in part: Have been out here about filled up with venison. Had great time in the mountains. Got showed in and had a terrible time getting out. About three feet of snow on top.
 l "The first day We started we made four miles with big team and the
 car doing it's best It took us four
 days to get out of the snow on the | way down.
 q expect to get back some time next month and will likely run in to l Chicago for few days. They are l having a big turkey shoot over at Pilot l Rock Sunday and I'm going to get some turkeys. I'll knock lem dead with that old gun of mine."
 i Shauno Collins, veteran and reliable outfielder of the White Sox, has de- veloped into a house painter of note. 1 He had been daubing the outside of his home in Pittsfield, Mass, at odd | nom ents He writes: We are hav- | ing fierce weather around these parts, and I'm tired of so much rain. Have had to paint during showers, but got away lucky until yesterday, when the rain washed the front where I put in scme extra fancy brush work. I'm al
 most completed, but have to wait for a good day. @~ "The old house looks fine, but it's sure some job to have done.

FULTON WILL GAIN NO PR B s TIC K IN
 BOUT WITH MORAN

The proposal to match Fred Fulton with Frank Moran hardly will meet with the favor of followers of the glove game. Such a match, with it's almost inevitable outcome, would mean nothing. Fulton runched Moran full of holes two years ago and could do it again in round or two, for the Pittsburger has gone back a long way and has lost even the lusty wallop which made him famous. If Tom O Rourke is wise he will decline to have Fulton again meet the red-haired husky.
 Fulton is still on probation and while he should receive every chance to make good. he must reinstate himself through the medium of bouts with dangerous ri- vals and not with boxers of Moran s present status.

MANY PROMOTERS PLAN CHRISTMAS BOXING MATINEES

The promoters throughout the various parts of the country where boving is per mitted are planning, as in the past, a Christmas afternoon show.
 The first promoter to announce a card for the holiday is Jack Hanion of the Olympia A. A. of Philadelphia, who will stage an all-star fistic venture, featur- ing two of Champion Benny Leonard's s challengers in Joe Welling and Willie Jackson, in one of the attractions. Bat ting Levinsky and Clay Turner have been obtained to oppose each other in another bout on the programme.
 They engaged in a terrific 10-round draw in the Windy City several weeks ago and are two of the best men in the country now at their weight. The out come of the Jackson Yelling controversy should dtermine which of the two is the superior for a match with Leonard, which seems probable within the next few months.

No Wonder Fulton Smiles

A boxing critic in a London paper put Fred Fulton in the grease over there for smiling in his bouts. Fred couldn't help it. The British fighters made him laugh As Jack Johnson answered after being asked why he laughed so much in his fight with Jeffries
 You'd laugh, too, if you had the sucker I had"
 It was easy mazuma for Fulton across the pond. None but the high and lofty tumblers of the profession would dare get into the ring with him.
 Now Fred is to fight Willie Meehan in Newark soon.
 Fulton licked Meehan in Frisco last year. The bout. if it may be called that was a farce Meehan was never for moment in the bout Fulton will smile again that night. Soft mazuma again.

OVERHEAD PITCHERS

All of which brings us to the overland pitchers, the vast group in baseball. Mathewson, Brown, Bender, Cicotte, Young, Clarkson, Ruse-all have made indelible marks on the pages of base ball And all were overhanders. Cc- casionally, just to mix 'em tip, one or the other may have tried the side-arm or even resorted to the underhand. But over overland was their style.
 Which is most effective? Well. here are three groups, comprising the names ef men using the different deliveries:
 Underhand-Rhines, McGinnity, Warhop and Mays.
 Side-arm-Meekin and Joss.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-12-23

Three styles of pitching are in vogue in baseball today-the overhead the side arm and the underhand
 Which is most effective?
 Which accomplished the greatest re- isults with the least wear on a pitcher arm?
 Which is easiest to master?
 It is quite obvious that the underhand
 is certainly the most difficult of all to throw. For the hundreds of moundsmeE who do the big league rosterss Of the present only one-Curl Mays of the Yan- kees-is a full-fledged subway beaver Many others in this modern era have tried it, but they have failed.
 In the entire history of baseball there has been only a half dozen men who ac- complished real results with the under hand delivery. Less than dozen in the A years that the game has been organized ever made real effort to use it. And of them all Mays is the only one who throws an underhand bali exclusively. The others. occasionally shifted to the overhead or the side-arm. Billy RaineS used the underhand , with great success 20 and 25 years ago. He was at his best in it's control and delivery in 1896. His chief victim in these days was the mighty Ed Delehanty.' The great slugger was practically help l less when faced by the underhand ball, and his batting marx against Raines, who served it to him exclusively, was something like 072.
 M'GINNITY INVINCIBLE 1 No man gained prominence With the un- derhand from 1896 until the advent or Joe McGinnity with the Giants of 1904. The
 Iron Man had more than fair control
 with the cellar shoot and when he mixed it up with an occasional over
 handler and an infrequent side-arm ball he was well-nigh inVfncible. McGinn1ty attributed much of his success to fre- quent use of the underhand toss. 1 Jack Warhop who was with the Yan- kees for many years, was the next pitch . 1 CT to gain prominence with the under
 ground ball The delivery might have gained considerably more prominence at the time if the midget hadn't been so un- lucky. But Warhop had the misfortune Of losing a half-dozen games or more yearly by a tumble of his mates at
 critical time, or by their failure to hit. So he didn't take rank as a really great 1 finger and the underhand ball didn't get an awful lot of publicity through his use of it.
 l Jouett Meekin the great twirler of by i gone years, and Eddie Joss who died while he was the star pitcher for Cleve- 1 land, were the only true side-arm pitch CTS who achieved more than passing success. All the others who tried it ac- complished but little and either changed ! to overland or passed into obscurity. l Grover Alexander and Walter Johnson, ranking among the greatest right-hand- 1 CTS of today, are generally regarded as "side wheeers." But they aren't of the true type, that of Meekin and Joss. Their
 toss is halfway between side-arm and overhead

Gotham Fans Want
 Boxing In Gay N "

Whie followers of the glove game in New York sigh in vain for the days. or rather for the nights that were, when they could witness ring contests with travelling to Jersey City or Newark, or one of the other fistic centers across the river fight gans in Philadelphia and Boston are having a gala time. The clubs operating in these cities are put ting on exceptionally fine shows and are being patronized literally.
 It is estimated that more than 15,O0O boxing enthusiasts attended the four clubs which held shows on Thanksgiving day in Philadelphia and the number exceeds the total seating capacity of the clubs in question. With sports of all sorts flour ishing just now. boxing would enjoy un- heard-of popularity in the great city if the game were legalized.
