PITCHER WAITE H0YT
AGAIN IN HOME TOWN
Youngest of Big League Hurlers
Returns to Gotham.
-
Has Been Termed One of Most Prom.
Using Right in American
League-Began His Career With
New York Giants.

Waite Hoyt has gone back to Great
er New York. The Brooklyn lad, who
as the star pitcher of the Erasmus
ball team was signed by John ]. Me-
Graw, was shifted to the minors and
then came back and made an enviable
record for himself in the big-tlme cir
cult, was traded by Harry A. Frazee
of the Boston Red Sox to the New
York Yankees.
Hoyt has been called one Of the
most promising right-handers in the
American league, and although he has
only just turned twenty-one he has
been taking his turn on the mound
for the Red Sox with the veterans and
has been handing in good share OF
winnings, despite the fact that he is
the youngest twirler in either of the
big leagues.
Boston, it must be admitted, was
dubious as to Hoyt's future, for last
year he was put out of the running in
midseason when he seriously strained
an abdominal muscle. His youthful

here in America-that an unknown
American soldiers body will be brought
home from France and buried at Ar
Iington, or possibly even in the capitol.

WAR of the future bids fair to be
w too deadly for nations to resort
to arms. The chemical warfare serv-

one whose skin it touches. A descrip-
tion of what the new war weapon
would do, in the opinion of one high
official, follows:

In battle at Houston, Howell
was behind the bat and an
nounced the batteries of the two
teams brilliantly. His voice
was flutelike and created
splendid impression.
The game started, and, accord
ing to the Houston catcher's
idea, Howell missed many of
the balls and strikes. Finally,
he could stand it no longer.
Turning his head half around
and growing through the lat
ticework of mask, he said:
"You can't get by on that

FINE CROPS sure
Farmers in Western Canada
JubiIant at Prospect.
Splendid Winter Weather Has Put the
Naturally Fertile Land in Spien-
did Condition, and Bountiful
Yields Are Assured.

"What a delightful winter we have
had" is an expression that could be
heard almost anywhere when the
topic of the weather became the sub
ject of conversation. Not only in the
Middle West and down east" couiu
it be heard, but also in the Far west
up in the Canadian West. There
the same remarkable features that
brought forth wonderful winter ex-
listed. Reports from all parts Oh the
country, from famed Medicine Hat IN
Alberta to Winnipeg in Manitoba, IN
dictate that all through the winter
season very little cold weather was
experienced. In December, we READ
that golf playing had put into the as
card all ice sports, that farmers were
caught 'red-handed' blowing their
fields. In January, the Alberta yeo-
man got out his tractor and IN MS
shirt sleeves was seen preparing
ground for the 1921 crop. During
February, in Saskatchewan, one
farmer narrowed fifty acres ana
planted the seed. "Why, yes, OF
course, in March," said an Iowa
farmer, who had just heard from ms
son, who was looking after the West
ern Canadian farm, "my boy writes
me they had some snow, and fev.
cold dips, but what did that matters
The cattle and the horses came
through the winter in better condition .3,I
than they looked three or four montns
ago. Grass was plentiful on the pfal-
ries, the stubble was rich and valu-
able as food, and the straw stacks
and groves proved ample for shelter"
Spring is now fully upon the West
ern Canada farmer, his machinery is
all in shape for springs work, and
he is looking forward to an excellent
crop year. Last fall there was q
splendid lot Of moisture that perme-
ated the ground sufficiently to leave
O perfect seed bed. Indications are
now that the crop will go in in the
condition required for successful ger
mination. Then, with the lengthened
days Of May and June, the many
hours of sunshine that they bring, &C.
companied by showers of rain, and
with a soil Of which there is none
richer nor more generous, there will
be seen preparing for a ripening har-
vest the hundreds of thousands OF
acres of wheat, oats, barley, rye, al
falfa and corn that will make the
hearts Of the Western Canada farmers
swell with pride as they reasonably
look forward to an abundant harvest
There is a great deal that can be
said in favor of the climate of West
ern Canada. The most important is
that those who live there, and have
lived in other countries, prefer 1t to
any they have experienced elsewhere.
It is true the winters as rule are
colder than are those in countries
lying much fartAer south, but 1t is
also true that they are tempered by
a dryness Of the atmosphere that
makes a lower temperature preferable
to that several degrees higher where
greater humidity prevails. Enerva-
tion and listlessness are unknown ;
the air is bracing, but the cold is not
penetrating. Then the summers and
the autumns-they could not be more

that Maranville had violated club
rules and got the impression that he
was a privileged character.
sWhen an employee tries to run
your business it is time to shift him
to other scenes" said the Boston
owner.
Value Began to Cheaper.
In other words, according to Grant,
as soon as Maranville learned that
Grant held him to be priceless, his
value began to cheaper because of the
acts of the player. As soon as that
happened a price was put upon him
very quickly.
How eloquent is this little baseball
deal of the fact that we are what we
