New Ulm review., 1919-12-17

You wouldn't think Of riding on the
back Of one Of your horses in order to
guide your team. If you did you
would have to have another person to.
operate the implement. because you
know most farm implements require
constant attention.
Then why attempt to operate a tractor
in manner which your experience
has proven impractical It is just 40
illogical TO ride on your tractor in front
Of the implement. and expect to operate
the implement from that position, as i.
is to operate the implement from the
back Of your horse.
Any way you look at il you are
working at disadvantage with the
ordinary tractor. To do.the best work
two operators are required, one on the
tractor and one on the implement. In
these days Of extreme labor shortage
this is tremendous handicap. With

Cutters VIII Regret.
1T Is my firm opinion that before
the 1919 season is completed some men
VINO declined to back clubs in the minors
will regret their action. 1t may be that
baseball men are unduly optimistic. but
we gauge our optimism on spring ex-
hibition attendance, what we hear and
the amount of publicity We receive In
our various cities"
As a former army man-Fultz was a
Lieutenant in the Aviation Service dur
Ing the war--the international League
president r!diculed stories that men who
had seen service would stay away from
bail games because players jumped to
shipyards during the war.
II never heard OF such thing" said
F'ultz, land in my army career I never
heard any one knock baseball or criti-
else It in any way. Most of the officers
I came in contact with were fond OF the
game, and believed 1t had a lot to do
with keeping the American soldier in
such splendid physical condition.
II do not think the soldiers will stay
away from our ball games On the other
hand, ] think they will be among our
best fans. While most American boys
like base ball, think that many men in
tho army took a new interest In the
game as a result of watching contests
between soldier teams or by playing the
game themselves"
