CANNEFAx WINS
 CUE DISPUTE
Decision UphOlds Ruling of Referee Cutler as to Foul
 Stroke In DeOrO Match.

While no official announcement has been made, 1t is understood that the dispute between Alfredo de Orc and Dobert Cannefax regarding a. foul | stroke by the winner during their
 recent championship three cushion
 match. has been decided in favor of Cannefax. It -seems that the Bruns- wick Bake -Collender Company ruled
 against a decision by arbitration and
 took the settlement of the matter in
 Its own hands. It Is said the basis for this action is @ disincHnation to open the door to subsequent disputes of a similar nature.
 Productive of amusement is the fact that Cannefax and Cutler. who was the referee of the match, are now on the road in an exhibition tour. Part of Cutters duty is to introduce Cannafex as the champion billiard player of the world" without any reference to the three cushion game. gallery god recently Queried in a shril voice: Hey, what's the matter with Hopper" Cutler suavely re- piled: Jake Schaefer has been try ing to find him for a year"

 Dick Scanlon pitched six innings for the victors when he sprained one of his fingers. by a ball thrown by the catcher. In the seventh, the Walnuts inserted Andy Meyerjack, and could have sent the outfielders home, for no balls reached the out field after the seventh.

Victory Over Hartford Swedes, By 5-1, May Lead Team Into Semi-Final-CityS Win State Title.

:. By defeating the Hartford Swedish team at the Meadows yesterday after noon/by the score of five goals to one the /Thistlcs of this city now stand a gcod chance to meet the Manchester Lean in the semi-final round of the { Spring Cup Competition as when the teams m neec againS next Sunday at Hartford in the second game the local team will start that game with n lead of four goals which is certainly a good start and an hard one for the Swedish players to overcome. The Hartford team came fully prepared for an hard game and had its strong est lineup in the field whereas the Thistles were minus the services of r1illigan who has left town.
 Hartford won the toss and O'Grady started the game for the Thistles who at e4.ce made tracks for the Hartford goal and were very unfortunate in not scoring in the first few minutes. Delaney coming to the rescue of his team with a powerful kick to the cen ter. Both sides strove hard for the opening goal and both goalies were found plenty of work to do but both performed their work good and 1t was 20 minutes before the opening goal was scored when Fisher took the ball
  across a perfect center, Mccall. who was playing his first game since he was discharged from the army, had no difficulty in scoring the opening goal for tho Thistles.
 This reverse put new life into the Swedish team and for time they were. all over the Thist1es' defense but Tidmarsh and Wagner gave a great display and prevented the for wards from getting anywhere near dangerous to Rosenzweig.
 The game had been just gone half an hour when the Thisties scored a second goal as Cosham handled the ball in the penalty area and Tidmarsh made no mistake in scoring from the ensuing penalty kick. The visitors protested against the awarding of this penalty kick but the referee was firm in his decision. This was the only scoring before the interval when the Whistles led by two goals to none.
 By defeating the Manchester soccer team by the odd goal in three at South Manchester yesterday after noon. the Bridgeport City soccer team won the championship of the State and tho Budd Challenge Cup. The result was never in doubt as the City team started the game with lead of three goals which proved too much for the silk city team to overcome. The Bridgeport City team played great soccer but weak shooting by the forwards caused the score to be SC low as the City were a far superior keam.
 The Manchester team were fully de- fsrminsd on winning this game and played q strong. rough and bustlins game throughout but the scientific methods of the Bridgeport team wal too mucfzl - them and the only goal that fslES he lot of the Manchester team Ny ne q gift as Webb scored from xco5 kick early in the game 1t vas by Iis score that the Man sicbeifax fea1 led at the intsxsal.

NAVY OFFERS MEN
CHANCE TO TRAVEL

Although 1t is most universally
admitted that enlistment In the
navy for a young man as a means
of obtaining a training is of course
tho greatest advantage and that by
devoting the term of one enlistment
in the navy, he obtains at no cost
to himself, the opportunity to learn
trade and a knowledge of the
world through travel. which he can
obtain in no other manner, and in
general At himself for his future in
civil life; yet comparatively few
people have looked upon enlistment
In the navy in the light of career
The question is often asked, does
the navy offer q real career to the
young man who is starting out?
Are there sufficient inducements to
influence him in taking this step
with the idea of making it his life
work?
Perhaps the best answer can be
given through quoting a man who
has actually done this. Chief Gun
ner's Mate Frank Bollman, who has
Just started his fifth enlistment
after 16 years service and is at
presen attached to the recruiting
office in Chicago, speaks very
strongly in the affirmative A brief
history of his career may illustrate
this point.

HIGH PRICE OF
CLOVER ISBAN
Many Farmers Hesitate to Use It
Because Of the Cost Threat
enfng Fields.

The high price Of red clover seed,
the favorite grass for spring seed
ing, is threatening to keep many
small grain fields from being seed
ed this spring. Farmers who ap-
preciate the value of clover in main
tanning soil fertility are asking
whether cheaper substitute can be
used.
Mixing Of several different types
IF grass seed in order to be more
certain of stand and to get more
pasture in the fall and in the sea-
son following has been tried and
worked out in some other sections
o9 the state. The Demaree mixture
which was so popular in Grundy
county consisted Of four pounds
zach of Alsike timothy. sweet clov-
sr and alfalfa. The sweet clover
and alfalfa should be thoroughly in
oculated by the glue dust method
for such seeding, as neither of them
will do any good here without in
oculation. These two grasses are
row much cheaper than red clover
vet will produce fully as much for
age per seed when used as pasture
Another good mixture for Rock Is
land county soils will be pounds al
.sike, three pounds red clover. four
pounds timothy. four pounds Of al
falfa per acre. This mixture will
cost at present prices about S4.08
per acre. or just the same as a 10
Mound seeding of red clover. Those
who have used this mixture claim
nat it will stand more adverse
weather conditions and furnish
more forage with more variety and
tess danger OF bloat than straight
red clover. This mixture puts on
Is pounds of a smaller seed than
,ed clover and Is a heavy seeding.
Alsike at present prices of around
F20 per bushel may well be substi-
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-03-21

tuted for red clover at $24. A seed
ing of five pounds of AIsike per
acre Will put as many plants per
square foot as seeding of nine
pounds Of red dover and costs only
SI.75 per acre as compared to $3.50
for red. Alsike-timothy mixtures
can be bought for IS bushel and
a 10 pound seeding would cost only
$1.25 an acre.
Makes Good Hay.
This makes a very good hay but
not quite so much per acre as red
clover should. Alsike never makes
as rank fall growth as red clover
and does not root so deeply so will
not add as much humuis when turn
ed under. At present grass prices
it will pay to seed every acre of
small grain to some kind of clover.
Sweet clover is the quickest soil
building OF the whole family OF
clovers, but must be inoculated and
should be lined to be successful.
Alsike has the advantages of grow
ing on wetter soil. on more acid
soil, wintering better and standing
for several years. On the other
hand, while the hay is very good
in quality there is not often more
than three-fourths as much as in
red clover and there is seldom as
profitable a seed crop to follow.
When making a special effort for
a stand of grass 1t is always well to
sow the nurse crop lighter. One
and Il half bushels Of barley or two
and a half bushels Of early oats
make good nurse crops. If It is de-
sired to make this into permanen
pasture Il would be well. II there is
stand in the fall, to seed two or
three pounds of blue grass as It
will run to blue grass quicker with
a little start.
For an emergency hog pasture it
would be hard to beat a light seed
ing of oats. say six or seven pecks,
four pounds of aisike, four Of red
clover and three pounds of rape
per acre. Turn on after the oats
get seven or eight inches high.
In mixing grass seeds 1t must be
remembered that different mixtures
are needed for different soil types.
for different purposes and for diff
ferent systems Of management.
