The Barons must have put up a
swell defensive game yesterday. Lit

Although the National and American
lea CUES started their schedules the
day before the Southern and both play
140 games just like We do down here.
Boss Martins circuit closes more than
three weeks before the majors. This
is accounted for by the fact that the
big fellows stretch their playing sea-
son out a littn and have a great many
more off days than do their minor
league brethren.
Our old friend Moley seems to have
been made the goat by a bunch of
"roughneck" Little Rock fans yester-
day. A good many of that same species
has been infesting the boxes at Rick
wood lately, with the result that many
decent people are denied the pleasure
of viewing game without having to
listen to lot of back alley stuff.
Prof. Burruss. who now answers to
the title of commissioner. has at last
heard the plea of baseball fans and
fixed that road from Third avenue to
the ball park. OF course. the season
is all but eight days over, but that
should not detract from the gratitude
of those who are in the habit of motor
ing to the old ball yard. And besides
football is not far off, professor.

will likely be staged this afternoon.
The Detroit Tigers might catch up If
the White Sox ever managed to lose,
but Gleason's men still hang on to that

For some reason or other only half
of that scheduled double header be-
tween the Barons and Travellers was
played yesterday, but tits probably
well that the series ended when it
did. for Moley's men got away with
two games out of three. This after
noon the local representatives will
open three-game series in Memphis.
following which they journey to At
lanta for similar number, returning
homo next Monday to take on the Pei
leans.
The occupancy of third and eighth
places in the Southern league this
season is already pretty definitely de-
cided. Little Rock and Nashville hav-
ing cinch on them, but the race for
first, fourth and sixth places still con-
tinues. TO keep interest up among Dixie
fans. ATLANTA is now a full game
ahead of the Pels for the lead and
Chattanooga is but one point in the
lead of Mobile for the bottom rung in
the first division, while Birmingham
is only a game behind Memphis for
sixth place.
It's a crime that three good base
ball towns like Birmingham. Memphis
and Nashville are temporarily ruined
by having such sorry outfits. How
ever. somebody has to be in the Sec
ond~division and you can't fire man
aser just because he happens to fail
once in 10 years.
According to reports from Atlanta,
Ivy Griffin, Cracker first baseman,
who was injured about a week aso.
has now practically recovered and will
probably get back in the lineup to-
morrow. Griffin was thought to be
out for the season and his return to
the game will be a big boost to At

For the third time in State Fair
history $4,000 premium has been
announced IN connection with the i've
gated Saddle Horse Stake which s
outstanding feature of the horse de-
partment of the Kentucky State Fair.
For seven successive fairs the pre-
miums in this ring had ranged from
$500 to $1,000 with only one nights ex-
hibitiOn of the high steppers. In 1917.
Commissioner of Agriculture Mat s.
Cohen made whirIwind campaign
for funds and by his own PERSONAL
brilliant, daring work, secured in dona-
lions the splendid sum eff $S.S35.OO,
Ieaping the total premiums for this
event to $4,000.
The announcement electrified the
show horse world and did just What
the commissioner calculated and de-
sired, imbued the breeders and exhibi-
tors Of fns horses with new and keen

interest in the ring 1t also put the
Kentucky State Fair on a horse show
basis riyaling Madison Square with an
entire week of horse events instead of
the one exhibition. the saddle horse
contests being divided into classes for
the stations on Monday night, the
mares on Tuesday night and the geld
ings on Wednesday with the winners
of the irst three prizes in each of
these classes pitted against each other
in grand struggle for the champion
ship honors of the world on Saturday
night.
The venture in 1917 met with unpre-
cedented success. and every night of
the week the great State Fair live
stock pavilion seating ten Thousand
spectators was nightly packed to over
flowing with enthusiastic spectators
who applauded to the echo the mag
niicent specimens of horse flesh and
equally splendid exhibitions Of horse
manship which the ring provided.
This triumph was repeated In 1918 and
as nothing succeeds like success, bids
fair to outrun all records 10 1919.

what he is worth as a beef animal. No
one can determine his value but the
men in the pens,-the commission men
and the buyers.
Buyers Represent Many Firms.
Many think that these cattle are all
purchased by the big packers, which
is far from being the case. Besides
the buyers for the big packers there
are always in the Chicago yards from
a hundred to a hundred and fifty other
buyers on the scene, many of them
representing firms that are not located
near the stock yards or even in the
same city. ALI told, the large pack.
ers do only A per cent Of the meat
animal slaughtering of the entire com
try.
The penalty which awaits the buyer
who will not bid up to true values is
that the other buyers take the cattle
away from him and his firm will be
without its requirements. On the 9TH
e. hand the commission men cannot
stick it out for an exorbitant price !;
for the buyers would cut down on the
amounts of their purchases. There
are some people who will buy meat
a. any price, but the majority of peo-
pie reduce their meat purchases pre-
cisely as the prices mount upward
The buyers in the stock yards reflect
this attitude of the general public al.
most as accurately as a thermometer
indicates the temperature.
The Arena Of Supply and Demand.
In other words, the stock yards are
the meeting places Of two tremendous
powers Of the economic world,-Sup
ply and Demsnd. any one who Wis.
So Une of these places, even as the
most casual observer, and watches
what occurs there, will give up any
Illusion he, may have about monopoly
or control. Too many buyers and sell.
ers are involved, and judging the
value of an individual steer or a pen
full Of steers is altogether too compli
Gated matter to cover by any sort
of agreement In advance.
The Kenyon bill-would make it lie
gal for any packers to have financial
holdings in stock yards corporations
Common sense rightly asks, ''Why?H
How such holdings, which, where they
exist, are nothing more than financial
backing of a worthy enterprise, can
control the men in the Rens who are
hired to use their judgment, is toe
deep to be seen at glance. The ad.
vocates of the bill should be forced to
explain. And how lack of such hold
ings would prevent control or monop
oily, if such things were possible, is an.
other thing which the proponents OF
the bill should be able to elucidate.

sMALLpAcKERs OPPOSE LICENSE

Cincinnati meat packers in drawing
resolutions against the licensing OF
all packers doing interstate business
brought attention to the fact that the
proposed legislation embodied in the
Kenyon and Kendrick bills, If enacted
would have a tendency to drive hun.
dreds of small packing firms out of the
field of interstate operations. This
would be the preference forced upon
them as against operating under a IL
