CASTOFFS REFUSE SOME
TIMES To REMAIN As SUCH
BY DEAN

There's always a lot of good base
ball left in a CASTOR IL he gets back
his playing spirit.
Put a bunch Of them together and
IL they become a family instead of
splitting into cliques. they'll travel.
The present Dodgers furnish the
glowing example of such. Yet the
National League pennant has been
won by teams made up mainly of
discards from other clubs for the
past six years with the exception of
1917.
Comcbacks
Whether 1t is the taunt Of being
a discard or the changed environ
men that bring old stars who are
slipping back to form is hard to
figure.
Both of these elements may enter
into the comeback reversal.
Big Ed Konetchy was considered
on his last stretch as a first base
man when Brooklyn took him over
from Boston. This is his thirteenth
year in the big leagues.
But Ed has played the best game
>of his career for the Robins. He
put more into his ball-playing than
he had done for either Boston,
Pittsburgh or st. Louis.
Hustling
Hustldng has made him a big
factor in the Flatbush machine,
which has showed the way in the
Heydler circuit this year. He re-
fused to accept himself as a castoff.
Catcher Otto Miller is another Of
the Robin oldsters who was deemed
through this year. He has been
with Brooklyn for eleven years.
NJ n ~ rA~ DAhfo~- h@I w-z a.
use him as a coach.
Rowdy Elliot and Ernie Kruger
were figured to be the working pad
dists of the team. Robbie began to
pair his catchers off with members
of his great pitching staff. Miller
caught a game now and then, but
he got good results In all his starts,
and, before long. he was doing the
whole shift. 4
New Snap
Pete Kf1duff was excess baggage
to the Cubs. But he's swapping into
it for the Trolley Dodgers. Cleve-
land let Ivan Olson go. Cincinnati
eased him off to Squire Ebbets as a
misfit. But Ivy figures high in the
Dodgers showing at present.
Jimmy Johnston has been shifted
around in both the American and
National leagues until he's landed
good and solid. He's such a smart
ball player that Robbie converted
him from an outielder into a third
baseman.
RUDE Marquard was picked up
by way of the waiver route from the
Giants in 1915. He helped Brook
Ign wiz the pennant the next year
and has repeated again.
Smart Players
Clarence Mitchell has been the
rounds in both leagues. Chuck
Ward, William McCabe, Ernie
Kruger, Rowdy Elliot and William
Lamar have all seen service on
other major league clubs.
Brooklyn has found that scrap
iron is better than 'newly-forged
steel If 1t is handled properly. Ex-
oerience gained on different clubs
has made them smart ball players.
Your Uncle Wilbert has welded
hem into an organisation that
hustled. And hustiing will win ball
games. 1t will win pennants-and-
1t may win a world series for him
Call them castoffs, discards, mis-
fits or has-beens. or what you will
but When they all start pulling to-
gether they make the hardest type
of a ball club to down.

Bill RANGERS

They're pulling for Walter Mails
out on the coast as much as they are
in Cleveland. Bill Rodgers. manager
Of the Sacramento club, from which
Walter was sent up, says:
when Malls came to Sacramento
he was using a side-arm delivery al
most continually, and with the aid
Of Bill Prough, who has a good pitch
ing bean, we taught Walter an over
hand delivery which improved his
speed and control wonderfully. Mails
has a lot to say, in fact, he's a true
southpaw, but he's tending to busi-
ness up there and he's making good.
We're ali pulling for him. I believe

NO LINEN LEFT

We learn from a wholesale mer.
chant that it is now almost impossible
to buy linen in any market, and that
what little there is to be had is selling
at an unheard of price The reason
given is that Russia, heretofore pro.
ducing threefourths Of the fax crop
of the world, is now marketing prac-
tically none Of this raw material from
which linen is made.
All of which causes us to wonder
why flax wouldn't be rich crop for
Americans to turn their hands to. It
will grow in this country, and for sew.
eral years a number of sections have
boasted of soil adaptable to its culture.
But those who grow it declare that the
main reason it is not given more at
tention in America is because it has
10 be handled by hand. It does not
permit of cultivation or harvest by ma
chinery, as we harvest hay and wheat
and corn. II is all hand work and la
Dor has been too scarce in recent
years to permit the cultivation Of flax
on a large scale.
But with Russia unsettled, and indi-
cations that she WIN not be back to
normal for many years, with linen ar.
ticles bringing ten and twenty times
what they once did It would seem that
the growing of fax offers a new ana
splendid field for American farmers
and could be within a short time made
one of the most profitable things to
which they could turn their attention

OUR STOCK IN TRADE

We often wish people could see the
mass of Junk" that comes through
the mails every week to this newspap-
er Office. If they could they would
readily see that the world is still full
Of people who do not realize that a
newspaper mans space in his paper
is his stock in trade. They would also
b seo that for monumental gall the av.
erage press agent is without an equal.
A newspaper is run primarily to dis
siminate the news, build up the COM
munity and earn living for the man
who works hard to keep it going. But
many people seem Impressed with the
belief that it is printed and circulat-
ed merely for the purpose of helping
them pull their own chestnuts out of
the fire or assisting them in unloading
something on the public they don't
think enough of TO advertise in the
regular way. Free auto readers, free
political puffs, free readers asking
the public to subscribe to this or that
endowment" or special graft pour
into the newspaper Offices of this ma
ton in such a torrent that it is not
hard to understand why there is a
shortage of white paper. The wise
and sensible editors throw such trash
in the stove or waste basket, and
awakens next day to find new graft
ers seeking to filch from him his
the space in his paper.
Personally We have always run this
paper in the interest of the people of
this community, and we expect to con-
tinue doing so, If the time ever
comes that we are forced to turn it
over to anyone it will be to the sheriff,
and not to the hordes of spaCegraft-
ers who fill up the mail with attempts
TO pursuade editors they should join
hands in imposing upon the very peO-
pie whom they depend upon for sup
port.
