Cars Berries 2 Days

While the yield has not been up
to former years, Sharon growers
sent out five cars Of berries, at S.
per case Saturday and three and a
half cars on Monday, the latter at
only $3.50, however. AT these prices,
even with greatly decreased yield,
the berry industry has been very
profitable this year, bringing a deal

Mr.. Joe Nowlin states that growers
in the Sharon vicinity have about
doubled the acreage in berries this
year and that next year there win be
something like $50 acres yielding
berries.

brought to jail one day last week a
couple Of white boys charged with
the theft Of chickens from neighbors

that he will do it. Citizens of that
section of the county complain much

going, carried the club from far down
in the second division in June to sec
ond place on August s, to first place
on September 8, and to a world cham

delphia Athletics in October.
Tyler No Flash.
Tyler was no flash In the pan. His
official record in 1914 was 16 won and
il lost, but most of the winnings were
in the big squirt. His losings clustered
in the slump in April and May. when
the Braves were the joke of the Ma
tional League. He won II and lost 10
for Boston in 1915 and in 1917 was
traded to the Cubs for Doyle, Wilson
and ST., 900 cash.
Tyler won 10 and lost Q for the Cubs
In 1918. which was his last big year.
In 1919 he had a sort of neuritis which
was traced to liberated teeth, and won
and lost that year. In 1920 he was
carried merely as prospect, but his
strength returned in June, and from
then to the end Of the season he was a
great southpaw. ending the campaign
with IL won and IL lost.
in the last two months Of the 1920
season George A. Tyler was one of
the best, IL not the very best. slow ball

bic had forced him to develop a slow
ball for the simple reason that he could
seldom throw a fast one. With the

tify.
But what made Tyler worth a
minimum of $4,000 on the hoof was
the fact that, as the 1920 season waned,
his left arm waxed strong. In Sep
TENDER he had a nice fast ball. While
still pitching the slow bail, he could,
whenever he chose. shoot over a fast
one. The consequence was that he
had the batters buffaloed. The secret
OF a change OF pace Is to throw a fast
ball or a slow ball with exactly the
same motion. Tyler had that down to
a gnat's heel, and when his fast one
became really fast. as II did In Sep

twenty or more victories, and he had

His arm went entirely dead when the

mix with his delivery in late May and
