NeW York Clubs
Lucky In Getting
Casey Stengel and Whitley
Witt Come Through for
Giants and Yanks.

NEW YORK, sept. 2O.-Both New
York clubs made a blind grab in the
bag this year and pulled out a
centerfielder.
John McGraw had 10 have some
one TO take the place of George
Burns and when his expensive
rookie. Ralph SINNERS. went wrong
he had 10 call Casey Stengel. who
had simply been the jester Of the
club
The outfeld OF the Yanks has
been notably punk for several years.
Last winter the club owners tried
20 buy every centerfelder IN the
league with the exception OF Cobb
and Speaker and they failed. Finally
Connie Mack offered Whitley Witt for
the waiver price and the Yanks
grabbed him
Both Stengel and Witt filled the
hole on the two clubs. Both have
played good ball all season and tneir
work in the early part of the race
did much 10 keep their clubs up IN
the fight.
Witt can get around faster than
Stengel but he is not as dangerous
with the stick as the Giant center
fielder. Stengel can break up a ball
game any time with a long clout
while Wits greatest proficiency IS
bunting.
He is a better base runner than
Stengel also.
Baby Doll" Jacobson the Brown
Centerhelder. slipped a little bit this
year. He batted in strCaks and ne
was benched several times during
the season in the hope that a rest
would bring back his eye. The Doll
IS slower than Stengel or Witt on the
bases and in the field
Bill Cunningham, the utility man
OF the Giants. is a fine young ball
player and he may set into the
series although he usually works
only against left-handers
Cunningham IS much faster than
Stengel. Witt or jacobson and is a
tirst class ball player.
Day in and day out. however. Witt
perhaps Is the best player with
Jacobson third.

BABY BEEF MOST PROFITABLE
Young Animals Give Greater seturn,
Than Older ones-cap- Be More
Economically Fattened.

The phrase baby beef" has been in
existence for many years. At first 1T
was to some extent term Of re-
proach, but any stigma attached to it
has worn off, and it is now part and
parcel of modern farming.
Baby beef Is early maturity In con-
centrated form. An animal that loses
its calf flesh may yet be finished at u
fairly early age, but it will never
make baby beef. The latter, in addition
to early maturity, must combine quail
ity, finish and thickness Of flesh.
There are many cattle that cannot be
fattened early; breeding Will play its
part,dn this as in other things. p
Experiments carefully planned and
carried out have demonstrated that
young animals will give a greater. re-
turn In beef for food, and can, there
fore. be more economically fattened
than older ones.
The advantage IS from % to so
per cent in favor Of the younger AMI
NAL. This is quite sufficient margin
to induce many who have not yet es-
sayed baby beef to try 1t. 1t has an
other advantage in being ready for
the market at any time, and can be
sent off IL trade is good or held back
If prices are low. There is quicker
turnover, a greater profit. and a bet

been using for approximately sixty
years. - Ill. 'a4@p.> .
Colonel DahIgren, after losing leg

hands of ]. aE.s n Stuart,s men, His
artificial leg by chance fell INTO the
