BEST SELECTION OF PuLLETs

I Now comes Manager Mitchell of

Chic Fraser, old-time pitcher for the
Cubs and Phillies, beat Stricklett to it.
The Cub boss declares that Fraser was
monkeying with the spitbal at lea It a
year before StricEIett was heard from,
but Chic never used it much because
he thought it too erratic to control with
any degree of certainty
Fraser showed Mitchell how to
throw the thing. and Mitch could get
a pretty fair break on it. You re-
member that before Mitchell was a
manager he was a catcher and before

Loses Pennant on It,
Jack ChesbrO was the first major
Lacquer to make much use Of the spit
ter. He worked hard on it in 1904
when he was one of the New York
Yankee regulars. But ChesbrO did
not get perfect control of it and lost
a game that might have given the
Yankees the pennant in 1904 by MAX
ing wild pitch in the ninth inning
OF the next to the last game of the
season.
In recent years the spitball is not
used anywhere nearly so much as the
public believes. There are numerous
pitchers who can use it, but they do
not do so regularly. 1t is merely a
Oluff most of the time when they seem
TO mOisten the ball. That serves to
keep the batsman guessing.

opinion that too frequently the al
falfa is not cut as soon as 1t should
be, and points out that if it is allow
ed to stand few days too long it
reduces the yield of the next cutting.
'T believe that the hay should be
cut as soon as there is Indications
that the sprouts are starting from
the roots, even tho the blooming has
barely begun" said Mr.. Kropf.
''Some times, as in the spring when
the weather is cool and there is mois-
ture, the alfalfa will be slow to start
blooming, yet the growth has been
made and the new crop begins to
start from the roots. Then is when
the hay should be cut. II 1t is al
lowed to stand waiting till the blooms
have either started or are well along
the next cutting will be injured. or
