Milk Coming From Other
Counties to Local Creamery
Shipped Here Daily by Farmers OF
Randolph and Webster.

Thea creamery station recently es-
tablished by Mr.. J. K. Murphy on
west Lee street is receiving patronage
not only in Dawson and Terrell coun-
ty but the quantity of cream and milk
brought in from adjoining counties has
increased considerably. Shipments
from Shellman, Cuthbert, Weston and
other points are constantly coming III
and the output of this enterprise is
growing correspondingly. This is
bound to be a great benefit to the
farmer in tbs matter OF ready cash.
Sour cream as we'll as sweet cream
finds market right here at home and
prevents waste OF one of the most val
liable of farm products. The handling
OF sour cream by the local concern
makes it unnecessary for the patrons
to bring in their supply every day and
thereby much time is saved by the
busy farmer, who can wait for a con-
venient time for disposing of his dairy
products.

GRID GAME IS IN
NEED OF CHANGES
Football Coaches Believe a
Slight Change in the Rules
Would Improve Game.
By BILLY EVANS.

VIII the rules committee do any
tinkering with the football code
when they meet in New York 70
consider suggestions?
PROFESSIONALLY there are certain
changes that could be made to bet
ter the game. None OF them Is OF a
radical nature, yet a slight change
here and there might help.
Last year several college games
were lost because the player carry
ing the ball failed 10 retain posses
sion OF it after crossing the goa.
line.
Usually when a player so offends
a member of the opposing team falls
on the ball, converting A touchdown
into nothing more than a mere
touchback.
A great many Of the leading foot
ball coaches and officials seem 10
think that some special provision
should be made in the rules for
fumbled balls after the player car
rying it had crossed the goal line.
There is a rule in football that
the ball shall be declared dead when
the ball or any part Of the players
person is out Of bounds which
means over the side lines.
If the player carrying the ball
fumbles # after ne steps out Of
bounds. and the ball is recovered by
the opposition, the ball reverts to
the original holder.
Should Touchdown Count?
Plumbing after having crossed the
side lines means nothing. since play
automatically stops the moment the
player is forced out Of bounds
Just how TO cover such a contin-
gency is up to the officials Some Of
the coaches believe the touchdown
should count, If the ball is fumbled
after the player has crossed the goal
line, provided the player is free
when he crosses the line.
/ The coaches believe some distinc-
! ton should be made If player is
tackled before crossing the line, and
/ then FUN bles as he crosses the line.
with the tackler holding on. In such
a case they feel the ball should be
in play, since the tackle was prim-
arily the cause of the tumble.
The elimination Of the goal after
/ touchdown is generally favored
There is no question but that some
/ day this feature of play viii be
| stricken out.
Restriction on Pass.
Some restriction on the forward
pass is also suggested. The opinion
prevails that the forward pass is
being overdone. A losing team, late
in the game, goes 70 the forward
pass almost entirely I'm hope Of get
ting away with a long toss for d
: touchdown
II has been suggested that after
the first incompleted forward pass
that for every other pass tried IN
the remaining three downs which Is
| incomplete, the ball shall be taken
back to the place where the hurleI
started the play
There has been much comment or
the shift plays used by a number
Of teams. The contention has beer
raised that many teams are in mo-
ton before the ball is passed, there
by making the play Illegal
There is really no way TO cove
this play in the code, as it resolves
itself purely into a matter of judg
ment on the part Of the officials.

CURVE BALL HARD
STRAIN ON HURLER
Walter Johnson Tells Why
Constant Use of Curve
Shortens Ones Career.
BY WALTER JOHNSON.
What type of delivery places
the greatest strain ON the pitchers

What type of delivery places
the greatest strain ON the pitchers
arm?
The curve ball is the toughest
ball for the pitcher It is unques-
tionably the hardest Of all types,
unless It Is the spitball.
never used the spitbau to any
great extent. One year, when every
pitcher was using It, I learned how
TO throw il. did so simply TO keep
up with the times. rather than the
thought Of using IT
Occasionally in a pinch with two
strikes on the batter. I would throw
him a spitball. His great surprise.
more than any deceptive break 1
got on the ball, made it rather ef-
fective.
one season I threw perhaps so
spitballs all year. so I am not COM
petent TO speak on just what effect
its constant use has on the arm.
However, the fact that most spitball
pitchers have had a short career.
makes it seem that il is hard de-
livery on the arm.
Compare Hurlers.
Since the spitbau is now passe,
only a very few pitchers being per
mitted 70 use Il, a comparison be-
tween the two is of no particular
moment
I do know that the curve is very
trying on the arm from my own ex-
perience. In the days when I used
a fast ball almost entirely, I would
finish a game almost as fresh as
when ! started.
Later. in games in which I used
a curve frequently. my arm would
feel as If il was dead. and ] would
be as tired as some fellow who had
been using a pick and shovel all
day.
A catcher can be Of great assist
ance to a pitcher in his selection Of
stun. Some catchers seem TO think
every delivery should be a curve.
A pitcher hates to be constantly dis
agreeing with his receiver, and very
often pitches contrary 20 his desire.
When "Gabby" Street was catch
ing me- it was easy going. He was
very complimentary 10 me and
would always say:
Why use a curve. Walter. when
they can't see your fast one?"

WHAT is the best type bail for a
pitcher to use?
IF a pitcher has q good fast ball,
that Is always his one best bet.
I don't mean just an ordinary fast
ball. but one with lot Of swift on
it. as Nick Altrock would say.
When I came to the American
League I scarcely knew there was
anything other than a fast ball in
a pitchers repertoire.
For three years 7 used a fast ball
entirely TO fool the great hitters Of
the American League. really be-
lieve I enjoyed my great success
during those three years.
In the first three years. I could
just about throw my fast one by the
batsman. "a we put il In baseball.
No pitcher could retain forever the
terrific speed I had when I came 70
the American League At the close
of my third year, 7 began to realize
that I was slowing up a bit.
I had been working on a curve
ball in the meantime, and when Z
became evident to me that 7 was
losing a bit OF my speed, 7 began 10
resort TO the curve 10 cross the bat
ters up.
met with almost as much success
with my curve as my fast one.
However, I VIII always believe that
1 made a mistake I'm using too many
curve balls after once acquiring a
good hook"
When 7 switched 70 a curve ball
pitcher. from my fast ban pitcher
exclusively, still had perhars more
speed than any other pitcher in the
American League. should have
continued the use Of the fast bah
with the curve as a constant threat
am sure 7 would have been :
better pitcher had I done so.
