BETTER SYSTEMS URGED

Well-estabnshed systems of live
stock production consistently follow
ed from year to year are the out
standing needs of the livestock indus
sry, according to a conference of ami
NAL husbandry and marketing extern
sion workers held at Chicago recent
ly. Economy of production, the con-
ference agreed, is the most import
ant factor over which farmers have
control Producing livestock of the
best quality at the lowest possible
cost was urged and particular empha-
sis was placed on economy of produc-
ton rather than increased produc-
ton as the key to prosperous indus
try.
Among the controlling factors in
economical livestock production, in
the Judgment of the conference, were
selection of animals, choosing ra-
tions, and good practices in care and
management Delegates to the con-
ference included United States De-
parment of Agriculture specialists
and animal husbandman and extern
sion workers of agricultural colleges
in the central west.

HER COSTUME WAS A HAT

And now we get from C. F. Ber-
tell news from Paris that a noted
snake charmer has appeared at the
fashionable Longchamps race track
clad only in a hat-and peculiar as
it may appear, and as showing the
folly of taking snap judgment, the
costume is described even by the
French Anthony Comstock as mod
est More modest than the costume
of the British and American flapper,
seems to be the verdict. 1t appears
that, falling from the hat, a wide
brimmed creation, fell yard after
yard of rich black lace, completely
concealing the noted figure of the
snake charmer and reaching to the
ankles. Only one shoulder was Wis
ible and on this was glued a single
red rose to harmonize with a rose on
the hat.

FAST BALL Or
SPEEDY ONE IS
BONE Of DEBATE
Leading Baseball Authorities
Give Views az to One
Mostly Desired.

Curves or speed1 Which IL the
more important Cor . pitcher to
possess7
Jack Dunn. Of tho Orioles, who
was q leading pitcher in his younger
days. and who has developed more
young hurlers than any other man
ager In the country. says q mound
man must have speed. He should
know.
Joe Mcdinnity. tho one-time IA
nous pitcher Of the Giants. and a
man who used moro curve balls
than any other hurler in baseball,
declares q slab artist must have
curves to be q top-notcner. He should
know.
To support his contention. the
Baltimore magnate points to the
records Of walter johnson, Ed
Walsh. Christy MatheYson. Chief
Bender, Jack Bentley. Jack Ogden
and Lefty Groves They all used
fast balls.
McGlnnity. the Iron Man. says
the heavy hitting Of the last few
years is his best argument. IF
more pitchers were using curves
there would be very few 300 or
400 hitters." declares joe Neither
would there be as many as sixty

player. Curving a ball IL Q lost art

the last worlds series II was clear.
ly demonstrated that the curve ball
pitcher B much superior to the
pitchers who do not use 1t. The
Giants won the title because their
pitchers were better opponents of
curve-ban pitching"
To Dunnie there 10 nothing, bar
ring control, as essential as speed.
As he sees 1t. IL a pitcher hasn't
q good, fast ball, he hasn't q chance
to scare the batsman and the latter
laughs at the man on the rubber.
He admits there are exceptions,
and McGinnity IL one of them. Joe
never had much speed. but he had
an underhand curve, control and
an arm that never seemed to tire.
Some batsmen also prove excep-
tions. Jack Bentley, for instance,
has never been able to hit a slow
ball as well as one Of cannon va.
risty.
The Iron Man, who has been
pitching major and minor league
ban for thirty.five years ana who
expects to appear on the peak
again next summer for the powerful
Staley independent team Of Decatur,
ILL.,, laments over the heavy hitting
that is going on throughout the
country. He thinks that II has de-
tracted interest from the game and
says such a thing could never have
happened In the old days. II will
not cease, he argues, until the
pitchers stop trying to evolve freak
deliveries and go back to curves.
Again Dunnie disagrees with Joe.
He believes the public likes the
heavy hitting. And for that reason
he isn't in favor of changing the
kind OF baseball used.
There are others who say that
and Dunn are both
wrong in their arguments about
speed and curves. What counts
with them in pitching are: When
to use this and that. mixture. con-
troll, heart and head. In other
words, as a general thing. speed IN
useless without curves and control
