BOOST BETTER BULLS

There are "a Wisconsin counties in
the honor roll Of counties having more
pure-bred bulls than scrubs.
The past years work has proven the
value of pure bred bulls over scrubs
and the number of pure bred bulls have
doubled in some counties. The few re-
manning scrubs will soon be cut out
and pure brcds put in their place.
The advice given is to buy the pure
bred aDulls young. Bulls of breeding age
are hard to find and prices are high.
A young bull costs about half of one of
full breeding age. You can buy bet
ter bred bnil six months old than can
be bought for twice the money at is
months.

HERMANN DID
MUCH FOR THE
NATIONAL GAME
DepOSed Chairman of National

NEW YORK. Feb. Is Though Garry
Herrmann's long tenure of office as
chairman of the national baseball COM
mission will come to an end in Febru-
airy he will still be a power in major
league councils. for he has done much
for the national game.
Herrnann's advice has generally pro-
ven golden in times of stress in the big
leagues. For IS years he has been head
OF the triumVirate whose arbitrary
powers were established when peace
was made between the, NatioraI and
American leagues, and his regime has
been harmonious for the most part.
1t was largely through Herrmann's
efforts hat the warning leagues were
brought together at the peace table.
1t was Hermann who drafted the ma
tional agreement. under which the big
leagues operate today, and it was Herr
mann who wrote into it the provision
for the annual worlds series, which is
the biggest Single sporting event in the
United states each year,
For the last year lierrmann's col
leagues in the National league have OBJ
posed his continuance as chairman. 1t
was this opposition that brought about
his resignation. But though they were
against Hermann retaining the chair
manship the opposition went no further,
for they have not forgotten the things
he has done for the game. It would be
impossible to study the history Of
baseball since the inception Of the
American league and fail to appreciate
the part Hermann played in carrying
out the duties Of a most difficult post
to handle.
