A Hint TO Restaurants

Santa Rosa and Healdsburg have taken the lead among
California towns in popularzng the prune by serving it
free with hotel restaurant and cafe meals The plan will be
in force all summer while the tourist trade is
The suggestion is excellent for Oregon towns to
follow particularly those in the prune growing sections
Salem being the center of the great prne be SHOULD take
the lead and local eating places should cooperate with
producers in serving prunes free of charge with all meals
The tourist who has enjoyed the California prne will
learn by contrast the superiority of the Oregon prne both
to size and flavor Moveover these prunes should be
labelled Oregon prunes' and not italian prunes has
been customary in the past on bills of fare
There is better prune grown than the Oregon article
and there why it should be camouflaged under
foreign For the Oregon prne has been sold
under California label by California packers and buyers
and served in Oregon italian with the result that not
tenth of the states population became acquainted
with it.

so got the mill. The promoter him

expression, was all cop. The guaran-

BASE STEALING TAKES
BACK SEAT IN STUNTS
OFLEAGUE PERFORMERS

the greatest of base runners, declares
that the catchers are not throwing any
better than in the years past and that
the runners ar5 not any slower
Why should / try to steal when
have men behind me who usually ad-
vance me by hitting?" asked Collins
"Td be foolish to take the chance. An
other thing, the rules are more strict
now. We used to get lot of free
stolen bases when there we're two out
with the other team way ahead and no
one cared whether the runner was on
first or third. We don't get those
any more. The only time | try to
steal is with two out and one run need
ed to tie or win. Then / want to be on
second so can score on single"
Harry Hooper. another great base
runner, takes the same view as Collins,
while Kid Gleason, manager of the
Chicago White Sox says that the base
runners of today aren't as smart as
those of past years He said
"Why have them steal, when the
chances are they'll get thrown out or
plckeu OH the SICK dlteT stealing ne
said. THE batters are hitting and
that's the best way to get the runners
home" In 1912 there were 1910
stolen bases in the American league
1850 in 1915. 906 in 1919 and only $50
last year. Thus far this season there
have been 1877 thefts, at the ratio of
only 591 for the season or little more
than one fourth the number in 1912.
Where Clyde Milan led the league in
1912 with IS thefts and Cob in 1915
with Sc, the leader last year-Sam
Ricc-stole only So, and George Sisler
with AZ was the only other man to
pass the 25 mark. Eight years ago
there were nearly 80 men with more

FIGHTERS BOTH WILL
Be IN THE ACME OF
CONDITION FOR EVENT
Corbett, in Reminiscent Mood
Compares Winnings in New
Days With Earnings of Old.
BY JAMES ]. CoRBETT

NEW YORK, June esd. n. 81
Champion Jack Dempsey and his dap
per challenger Georgesi Carpenter
both will be In excellent shape July 2
Never fear about that for minute.
There will be no aiibi on either side
about condition after this fight is over.
That Is as It should he. The fighters
owe 1t to themselves and above all, to
the boxing public to enter the ring In
the acme of physical perfection. Just
lcok what they are getting.
1t Isn't their fault, OF course, that
the fight game Is so strongly CONNER
cialized today. But they are profiting
by Il. And the average fighter Of to-
day thinks more of the commercial end
of the game than he does of u cham
pionship.
In the old days fighter fought for
glory as well as cash. why, John L.
Sullivan never forgave me for taIdr"
the title away from him. The good
old fellow couldn't forget 1t, somehow,
and ! think that hurt him until the
day he passed along on the greatest Of
all adventures.
Fighters today bet on themselves
but compared to the purses they are
getting in this age they do not wager
such sums as we fellows of bygone
fistlc days used to do,
When fought Charley Mitchell, for
instance. / bet $4,000 that / would
defeat him. placed my bet with
Squire Abingdon Baird, as the older
fight fans will remember. such bets
as that In those days more than often
were larger than the purses. You
don't see fighter of today betting
more than he receives, at least not
often.
The movies, too must be considered
when we compare the financial side
of the game today with that of hygone
years. OF course the law which pre-
vents a boxing film from being trans
ported from one state to another has
taken most of the kick out OF fight
pictures In this country. but they are
still profitable. II the Dempsey
penticr fight goes from fire to seven
rounds the pictures will he worth
couple Of million dollars. We never
thought OF millions when fought.
Ten thousand grand and the glory of
winning title was big stuff in those
days.

| CHICAGO, June ga. P)-The
stolen base, once one Of the biggest
factors in the attack Of world cham
pionship baseball teams, has been
thrown into the discard by the major
league managers Of today. Records
show that there were nearly three
times as many stolen bases in the AM
erican league and nearly twice az
many in the National league nine years
ago az there were last year and indi-
cations are that the decrease this year
over nine years ago will be still great
er. Where there were ten star base
stealers there is now only one
Many reasons for the decrease are
advanced by managers and men who
formerly were noted for their daring
on the paths. While all agree that
heavy hitting has helped in the ten
dcncy to make the stolen base extinct,
some also blame the ineffectiveness
Of pitchers, failure of umpires to en-
force the balk rule and the scarcity of
fast men. Ty Cob, the greatest base
runner in history. says that the stolen
base has been discarded only tempo
rarily and will return soon.
Cobb declares that the game moves
in cycles and that following the cycles
of great pitching and great base rum
ming. we now have the cycle of great
hitting.
"With the sluggers OF today, base
stealing is back number said the
Detroit manager. whose stolen base
mark formerly was close to the 100
figure for season, But, the hitting
will pass Then we will again return
to the cycles of pitching and baserun-
ming. Five years from now my base
running marks may be eclipsed by
some youngster now in grammar
school,"
Iris Speaker, manager Of the world
champion Cleveland Indians. combines
ineffectiveness of pitching with heavy
hitting as the reason for the lack Of
shtolen bases.
THE base runner OF today Is the
man who can go from first to third or
from second home on single, not the
man who can steal seventy-five bases
in a season." said Speaker. THE in
effectiveness Of the modern pitcher
has brought about the heavy hitting
and. indirectly, the decrease in stolen
bases. We have no pitchers today like
Mathcwson. Joss, Welsh, Plank, Wad-
dell, Brown and other stars of ten
wears age. The average pitcher Of to-
day throws the ball up and hopes II
wont hit him coming back"
