BASE BALL TO Be
RE0RCANIzED
ON new BASIS
Revolutionary Measures to
Guard Game Against Future
League Attacks Outlined
BY Ban Johnson.

Chicago, April l3.-Dissolution OF
the National Base Ball commission
the supreme court" of organized
base ball, absolute severance of rela-
tons with the National Association
OF Minor Leagues and revision OF
the players contracts eliminating
the Today and reserve clauses will
be the probable result of the $780,
600 verdict granted the Baltimore
club of the Federal Base Ball league
by jury in the District of Columbia
supreme court yesterday.
These revolutionary measures to
safeguard base bali from all future
legal attacks were forecast by Ban
Johnson, president of the American
league, upon his return from Wash
ington tonight. The American and
National leagues, together with their
club owners and officials, and GER
tain officials of the defunct Federal
league were defendants in the $780,
900 suit for damages brought under
the Sherman antitrust law.
Appeal Will Be Taken.
President Johnson said that an ap-
peal would be taken to the court OF
appeals of the District of Columbia
and, if necessary, to the supreme
court of the United States.
THE verdict of course is a blow
to baseball" President Johnson said,
but we are not particularly dis
tressed as it was nothing more than
we expected under the circunl-
stances. We were bound to appeal,
no matter what the amount of dam
ages involved was.
I'VE do not want to be charged
with operating in restraint of trade /;
neither do we want the charge of
conducting a monopoly hanging over
us. We can see a ray Of sunshine
because of the fact that we can APP
peal. If the verdict had been
brought in our favor, we would have
been denied that privilege"
Criticises Attorneys.
While declaring that he did not
care to ridicule the verdict, or The
justice of the court, President John
son said the attorneys for the Bal
t!more club talked like Lenine and
Trotsky.
You would have thought that we
were on trial in Russia" the Amcr-
lean league executive said, I'VE were
charged with all manner of crircs.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs re-
ferred to me as the 'czar' of base
ball and gave the impression that
we were on the threshold of the
penitentiary.
Base ball has been conducted
under the present system for 40
years and has been persistent in its

TO ELIMINATE SCRUB BULLS
Campaign Started by Wisconsin Farm.
ers to Use Only Purebred sires-
Record In One County.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Wisconsin dairymen and farmers,
desirous Of increasing their profits and
adding still greater honors to their al
ready famous dairy state, have joined
In statewide campaign to eliminate
the scrub bull and use only purebred
sires. The record made last year in
the Brown County Cow-Testing asso-
citation typifes the merits Of purebred
bulls and illustrates why farmers and
dairymen will not tolerate the scrub.
In this association IL cows qualified
for the register of production. All of
these cows were daughters Of pure
bred sires. six of them being daughters
Of one sire. The five best herds in the
association are headed by purebred
sires, while the five poorest herds are
all headed by grade or scrub sires.
The herds Of those farmers who used
purebred sires averaged IS pounds
more fat COW than those using grades
or scrubs. Last year eight Of the mem
bers purchased purebred sires Of
known breeding to replace their
scrubs.

ORGANIZE FOR BETTER HERDS
Farmers Forming Associations for
Purpose Of introducing eulls Of
Merit Of Single Breed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The cooperative bull association is
an effective organization for freeing q
community from the exasperating ex-
perience of the scrub bull that roams
at large. There is scarcely a breeder
who has not experienced keen disap-
pOintment and financial loss through
unrestrained scrub bulls. In the ter
ritory covered by a cooperative bull
association in one state only one scrub
bull was found where, prior to the
organization of the association, there
had been 30 scrub bulls. The 80
scrubs have been replaced with five
registered bulls. The organization Of
farmers into an association for the
purpose Of introducing bulls of merit
Of single breed and the elimination
of the scrub bull signifies that q
definite plan for community herd i'm
provement has been agreed upon.
There is at present widespread in
terest on the part Of individual farm
ers in herd improvement through the
use of better sires. The winter sea-
son affords an opportune time to dis
cuss the subject with ones neighbors
and to perfect the organization Of
such an association. Farmers Bull.

ment Of Agricultme.)
Spring Is the desirable time Of year
for the improvement Of pastures
Large areas Of permanent pasture
would respond to proper methods Of
improvement which might include the
following:
Keep the pastures clean by cutting
of brush, briars and weeds. Large
stumps, stones and dead trees should
also be removed.
Those areas used for pasture that
would permit narrowing and disking
at the time Of reseeding, applying
lime, fertilizers and manure, ETC.. may
be greatly benefited. In some sections
terracing may be practiced with salts

The application Of lime. acid phos-
phate and manure can always be re-
lied upon In most sections as a means
Of adding the necessary increased fer.
tility.
Reseeding, particularly in bare
spots, is to be recommended. White
and Japan clover, bermuda, herds
| grass, carpet grass and blue grass In
favored sections are commonly used.
As rule reseeded pastures should be
lightly grazed the first year. At all

Improvement.
The registered scrub comes of low
producing registered ancestors, there
fore he transmits only inferior quail
ties to his calves. Registration is not
enough to guarantee production. Per-
manent dairy herd improvement can
never come from the scrub, the grade
or the registered scrub.
A constant fight against the cattle
fever tick has put large portions Of
the southern states into the tick-free
area. Why not inaugurate similar
fight all over the United States
against scrub sires, against the scrub,
the grade, the registered scrub, against
scrub sires of every kind? Taking
each state, county by county, why not
eliminate the scrub and establish
scrub-free areas in every state?

FEED AND SALT REGULARLY
Cow Becomes Accustomed to GETTING
Meals At Certain Time-DevI-
alton Causes Worry.

A COW is pretty much a creature Of
habit. She becomes accustomed to
getting her feed at a certain time each
day and If that time arrives without
the feed she worries about it and this
affects her milk production. For this
reason regularity in feeding is very
important. Also watering and sailing
should be attended to punctually. And
the water should be good. It is a mis-
take to require cows to drink tainted
water, for it certainly impairs the
health if it does not affect the quality
Of the milk. The man who provides
properly for the wants Of his cows
has right to expect that they will re-
pay him in more abundant milk flow.
