MANY GOOD JOBS
ARE AVAILABLE

Washington, March 29.-Techincal at
riculture offers thousands Of positions
as associates. assistants. helpers. extern
this work Is particularly suitable for
RETAINED disabled men. according to a
statement issued by the Federal Board
Of Vocational Education today.
- These positions serve az stepping
stones to higher promotions and better
conpensat ton In the near future, not
only In the agricultural colleges, expert
lent stations, agricultural extension
service, and IN state efforts at agricul-
ture. These Institutions and employ
ments lost thousands Of men from their
student bodies. their faculty. and their
staffs. Hundreds of men formerly agri-
cultural extension workers and agricul-
tural county agents will never return to
those occupations. These places win be
temporarily filled. by unprepared substi-
tutes who viii be replaced by trained
men as rapidly as they are procurable.
The experience abroad wherein oppor-
tunity was given to study the intensive
and scientific agriculture of France and
other countries. has greatly stimulated
interest in these lines. and disabled men
with a background of agricultural ex-
perience are manifesting keen interest
in training for the lines mentioned. Many
others who. by reaso- of their disabili-
ties. are compelled to equip themselves
in other lines. and preferably for out
of-door OCCUPATIONS, are also manifest
ing keen desire to take up the special
lied branches Of agriculture In the
training offered by the Federal board.

George Shestak, catcher, recently

Pitcher Oscar IlarStad, who spent

Manager Branch Hickey doesn't ap.
pear on the coaching lines at all. He
uses the wigwag system entirely. The
players make up for Rickeys mod

Walter MCCredic says the spitball
should be abolished in the Pacific
Coast league, which Is Il pretty good
sign that McCredle has no spitball on
his pitching staff.
Carrying two first bascmen on

Pittsburgh Club is doing and Manager
Bezdek shows no signs of letting
either Safer or MOllwltg go.

WORTHLESSNESS OF
PITCHERS RECORDS
Peculiar Instance ReCited Of
Game at Cincinnati.
AdoTpho luque, Cuban Twirier, Given
Credit for Winning Contest Al.
though Not in Lineup When
Winning Runs Scored.

The worthIessness of "won and lost"
records for pitchers is shown In the
following instance as recited by Jack
Ryder in Cincinnati Enquirer:
AdOlpho Luque. the Cuban right
handler, received credit for winning the
cinnati from the Cardinals. He pitched
only one inning, and was not actually
In the lineup when the winning runs
were scored, but his credit for vic.
tory In the records was in accordance
with the rules governing the crediting
of games to pitchers.
Luque went into the game at the
start of the eighth inning, with the
score to l In favor of the Cardinals.
The state of the score at that time
eliminated Reuther, who had pitched
the first seven rounds, from any
chance of receiving credit for the
game If the Reds should win. Reuthcr
left the contest with o loser on his
hands, and If no more runs had been
scored by the Reds he would have
b''n 'IlUIS'u Will tll' utltul.
Luque pitched the first half of the
eighth inning with success. shutting
out the enemy and retiring the side In
order. In the last half Of the inning
the Reds staged batting rally and
eventually scored five runs, giving
hem the lead, O to .. In the course of
this rally Luque was taken out of the
game to let Walter Rehg bat for him
at critical time, and IL was base on
balls 10 Rehg, batting for LuQue,
which forced over the winning tally.
BY the time the inning was completed
the Reds had the victory well In hand
Hold Eller went In and pitched the
ninth inning. retiring the opposing bat
tiers In One-two-three order. But Eller
was not In the lineup when the Reds
went to the front, and by the time he
went to the box the Reds had the
game won with lead of four runs
Therefore he could not receive credit
for winning the game, which had been
won before he was picked 10 90 into
the box. The credit therefore reverts
to Luque, who was the pitcher I'm
charge of the game when the winning
round was staged.
