That Griff knew what he was
talking about was shown in Mog-
ridges case. for. the graceful left
handler stamped himself the best
southpaw singer in the league
and mighty close to being the best
pitcher of them all, 1t was Mog,
ridge who kept the Griffmen up
around the top of the race for
weeks. He alone was in fine fet-
tie when the bell rang. He was
largely responsible for the fact
that the team managed to finish
in the first division.
Manager Zeb Milan is to have
six southpaw pitchers in action at
Tampa this spring, and as this is
still a southpaws' league, he is
going to give them careful scru-
tiny before deciding against any
Of them. In other words, the six
southpaws have excellent chances
Of hanging on.
Mogriuge, Of course. Is n Ger
tainty, and what a picture of grace
and confidence he is! In shape to
pitch, Mogridge knows exactly
what he is going to do with each
pitched ball. Then he does it.
He has no blazing speed nor espe-
cially mystifying curve ball. but
his success lies in his control of
a diversified delivery. coupled with
his experience and knowledge of
the opposing batsmen.

six weeks suspension of Ruth and
Bob Meusel for their transforming
junket after the worlds series would
cost the New York Yankees some
$200, 200. The rest is mental artih-
metic. Ruth simply put two and two
together and discovered that the
answer wasn't three and a half.

that six months OF his service IL

OF course, Il Is nothing out Of

cent affair with Cook.
Although the Frenchman won
with a knockout in four roupds
he was much nearer defeat than
the cable told. He showed that he
could not stand body punishment
and that he had lost much Of his
speed of hand and foot.
In fact, he was so far below his
old form that many critics now be-
lieve that little Ted Lewis will beat
him in their coming battle.
AS for the English heavyweights,
II is doubtful II any Of them could
be dragged into the ring with Demp-
sey, even for a big losers end. II
the champion were to be matched
with Beckett or Wells or Goddard
there would be a general outcry
against the affair. for English box
ing followers have ceased to hold
decisions in regard to the ability
Of their big men.
1t is a fact that English fans
often become greatly excited over
matches that American fans would
not give more than a passing
thought to. 1t Is so seldom that
they see real fighter on the
other side; their standard In a great
deal lower than over here.
But the English fan will not fall
for a bunk match when he knows
il is a bunk match as his American
cousin does.
The Washington times., 1922-02-20

The first mention Of the fact
that Dempsey was considering

writing letters Of protest to the
press. Dempsey's war record was

that any attempt 10 ionize Jack

Becoming Popular in Northwestern
Sections Where Corn Is Diff
cult to Grow.

The use Of sunflowers for silage has
proved popular in certain of the North
ern Great Plains and Inter-Mountain
states where 1t Is not possible to pro-
duce large tonnage Of corn for silage
purposes. In some sections the silage
made from sunflowers has been found
to compare favorably in palatability
and feeding value with silage made
from corn. This is not always the
case, however, as it appears that in
certain irrigated districts in the North
ern Great Plains where the growth Of
sunfiowers is rank and succulent, the
resulting silage is often not very pal
.atable Experiments reported from
the Huntley experiment farm In Mon
tana of the United States Department
Of Agriculture show that while it is
possible to produce from 20 to 80 tons
of sunflowers per acre, 1t has been diff
ficult to produce silage that is as
much relished by live stock as corn
silage, which gives rather less than
half as much tonnage per acre.

The year 1921 which came to q
close three weeks ago showed much
in the way of improvement in the
village of Mason and territory sur
rounding the village, and the peo-
pie of this community can look with
pride upon the record of achieve
ments and set their minds on the
work to be done the coming year.

provements about the village. Among
these might be mentioned the fol-
lowing:

as three year old.
"Yderstad Pieterji Venus" pro-
duced in z days 1921 lbs. milk 17.46
lbs. butter this year as a two year
old. Last year as yearling she did
not qualify for advanced registry
which requires 8.87 lbs Of butter.
"Korndyke Ormsby Neitherland"

Five nearest dams average in 365

No other bull in the world has such

milk records Of his five nearest dams.
Her dam Aaggie Clover Lawn Bird
produced as year old, BILL Id
milk 14.73 lbs. butter in z days with
an average test of 1913.
These records show that cow can
incrase her production from year to
year up to certain age SO years
Or even older and they also show that
a cow may not make good one year
but may come back the next year with
record that is credit to herself
and the breed.
Mr.. Ydersead made the records on
ais three cows under conditions that
exist in the northern part of the
state. In a log barn without the
conveniences and feeds that are to
be found in the modern barns of the
southern part of the state.
Mr.. Yderstad has asked me to write

WHAT WE WANT

/ ing held here.
We want industries that can utilize
the cheap water power which can be
developed >on the White river.
We need more residences and homes

A new fair ground where the

be held.
TOURIST park where automobiles
can find camping grounds.
A new undertaking parlor is to be
established in Mason the coming
