MAKE WORK INTERESTING.
By Telling Employees About Ma
terials With Which They Work.

Once more the Proctor & Gamble
Company is setting the pace by adopt
ing another method of making the
working hours of its employees more
interesting and more profitable.
In their house organ, which is pub
lisfed once a month by the employees
of the company, they are starting a
series of articles giving interesting in
formation about the various ingredients
handled and used by these employees
during the course of their everyday
work
The first of these, which appears in
the April issue, deals with the chem
.istry of oils and fats-the purpose of
the article being to enable the workers
to see something more than a mere
mass of grease in the oils used IN the
making of the company's soaps. The
article is very interesting, even to one
who doesn't come in daily contact with
these items, and should prove of inn
mense value to all employees of the COM
pany.
The information is given in clear,
easily-understood language, giving the
chemical information many of the read
ers heretofore have desired, but were
unable to get in any except highly
technical form.
Needless to say, great interest has
been shown in this new feature, and
the continuance of the articles in future
issues is assured.

TY COBB OVERLOOKED
BY HUGHIE JENNINGS
'tPeach" Was Regular Busher,
Says Bill Donovan.
Detroit Had Chance TO Secure Geor-
gian on Training Trip In 1905, but
Passed Him Up, Taking Clyde
Engle instead.

This is new story of the discovery
of Ty Cobb. It was told by "Wild
Bill" Donovan.
'It was back in 1905 when De-
troit was training In Augusta. Ca.
and the future cap'n in our army was
regular busher. Ty attracted little
attention, for he was a terrible fielder
and tried to run through the fence in
every game. Hughiea Jennings used
to laugh every time Cobb ran out on
the field, for there was nothing about
him that even suggested a future star.
His hitting was of the bush league va
riety.
Detroit had a chance that year to
get Cobb for nothing, for the Augusta
club had made deal with Jennings
whereby he would have the privilege OF
selecting any player on the team If his
ball club did its spring training In Au-
gusta. To show whatsa hit Cobb made,
Clyde Engle. the infielder was chosen

times the day before, to the delight of
the quaint Quakers, with the result that
Quakerdom had to have her little Joke.
The ruse never faxed the big slugger,
who Immediately put on the derby and
made his exit amid the bowls of the
jokesters. Such is life in Phi1a-n1a-
delplia.
New Haven seems to be represented
pretty we'll on both the college and pro-
fessiona1 league teams this season.
Have you noticed the prominence the
Dugan trio are receiving these fine
spring days? Joe is the star of the
Athletics games, and Len and Leo are
shining as brightly with the Holy Gross
team.
The sJints' have started out as
usual, losing the opening games, but
with the team McGraw has collected to-
gether they are going TO be one-two at
the finish. Bernie Hope take notice.
Iris Speakers arm is one best bet
and with that old eye shined up he is
acting like a frebrand. His hitting and
throwing was never better. Cleveland
looks dandy this season.

The Wrestling Revival.

The professional wrestling game al
ways has been open to suspicion. Per-
haps the reason is that not even the
keenest expert can tell when match
is framed, but once in while there
comes bout of which there can be no
doubt The wrestling match the other
night between Joe Stecher and
Stranger Lewis. If that one was not
on the level, then it was superb acting"
says Win Mcclellan, in the New York
Tribune.
IT is my opinion that those two men
took quite as much punishment as any
pair of fighters ever took in any long,
drawn boxing match of recent wears.
1t was a continual strain, where the
boxers at least get their one-minute rest
after every three> Then, too, the punch
to the jaw is aNpain1ess thing-Ber-
nard Shaw says so-while the effects of
the deadlock used by Lewis and the
body scissors hold used by the cham
pion are not only painful but lasting
There is nothing in the boxing game as
deliberately brutal as the toe hold.
"Of course, there have been great
many faxed wrestling matches with
pretended toe holds, for some of the
preliminary wrestlers are fairly good
actors. But a real wrestling match be-
tween two men of equal stamina and
weight is about as strenuous contest
as could be staged BY comparison a
prizef1ght, under the London prize ring
rules, is gentle exercise.
Which goes to prove that profess
sional boxing was not killed here on
the score of brutality. 1t was killed
because it was crooked. Wrestling died
once the same way, but the wrestlers
have come back and the game, in this
vicinity at least, has been clean. Box
ing ought to have a chance to rehabilit-
ate itself"

and Tyrus the Great allowed to re-
main in the tall grass.
II never forgot Cobb,'' said Dono-
van, ''for one day when | was pitch
ing he hit a ball to me and I had to
run toward third base to field it. It
wasn't hard hit ball, so I took my
time, but before / could strafghten
up to throw to first you can imagine
my surprise when l saw that busher
roosting on the bag. Never before
had / seen such speedy travelling to-
ward first base. and I remembered it.
Later in the season one of our out
felders went bad and I suggested to
Jennings that he take chance with
that fast guy down in Augusta. Jen-
nings wired down there and a reply
came back that Cobb would not be
sent north unless the Detroit club pur-
chased him for $3.50. President Navin
sent them the money, and Cobb was
signed by Detroit.
'"The first year. as you know, Ty
did not set the world afire, but barely
got by. There was noticeable i'm
proyement the next season, and now
look at him. At the same time, at
tribute the speedy journey to first base
that day In Augusta to Cobb's joining
the Detroit club"

Leading, Figures.

i
Starting the season the leading fig
ures, through their efforts in past cam
paigns, include the following:
/. Babe Ruth-champion home run
hitter.
2. Ty Cobb-champion batsman of
s. Iris Speaker-champion outhelder
and manager.
4. Walter Johnson-best pitcher in
the American league.
5. Grover A1evander-best pitcher in
the National league
g. Eddie Roush-champion batsman
of the National league.
Z. George Sister and Rogers Horns
by, of ST. Louis-runners-up who may
supplant Cobb or Rousll
8. Eddie Collins-still baseball's best
second baseman.
There are other lesser cards, such as
Carl Mays, of the Yankees; Cicotte and
Weaver, of the White Sox; Grof and
E1ler, of the Reds; Scott Perry, of the
Athletics; Gayvy CravatE, of the Phil
lies; Peckinpaugh, of the Yankees; Jim
Z Vaughn and Hollocher, of the Cubs
and others, who are stars but not quite
starry enough to be listed as individual
coin collectors via the turnstiles.
1t will be interesting to follow the
fortunes of those named in the first list
to see how many survive the test
through September Cobb, Speaker,
Johnson, Alexander and Collins are no
longer youngsters. But so far none of
the FIVE has shown any outstanding ten
dency to slip.

 SPRAY WITHOUT DELAY

The second blotch spray for apples should be finished no later than June 5. according to observations of the broods of codling moth at the Experl- ment station insectary by w. J. Baerg Entomologist and Dr. J. A. Elliott Plant Pathologist. The application of the second blotch spray should be effective against late scab and great part of the first brood of codling moth as well as against late infections ot apple blotch.
 The emergence at the Experiment Station insectary shows that the bulk of the first brood worms" will hatch during the first two weeks in June and that the height of the matching will be about June 5. These records are in practical agreement with those of the United States Entomologlcal laboratory at Bentonville where about 1000 moths are being reared.
