receiving through the blue emptiness OF space the
intelligence OF what his harvest IL successfully
garnered, will bring to him. No longer will he
wonder in uncertainty about the results Of his

the man in the streets Of Chicago reading the

The Chicago Board of Trade does not err in its
idea that this information will be of value to the
farmers, and appreciated by them. The action will
probably lead to great increase in the installation
of receiving stations and the farmer will not only
keep posted as to market conditions, but the
loneliness of the family life is going to be brighten
ed by receiving many other things of interest and
amusement that otherwise they could never hope to
hear.

They flirt with someone that they meet.

COBB PUTS KID
IN LINEUP AND
MUST KEEP HIM
By JOHN B. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, May 15.-When St
Louis was playing in Detroit May
5 Clark was dropped into the game
for moment to take the place of
Cutshaw Detroit won more
games with Clark in than with
Clark out Cobb may have had it
in his mind to use Clark sooner or
later, yet it is quite as possible
that it is another of those instanc-
es where a young fellow getting
his first taste of the raisin pudding
of major league existence likes it
so well that it is hard to Gust him
from his place at the table.
He has been hitting the ball as
if he had been playing the big
leagues as an accessory to Ty
Cobb for the last five years. A
batting average around 400 is
pretty good for a freshman. 1t
bears out the argument of the
scout who said that it was time
Clark should be lifted from the
Texas league where he played last
year with, Wichita Falls Clark's
average with the team of the Texas
plains was 1926 and he raped so
doubles. 10 triples and 10 home
runs. Cobb has a Texas league
keystone with Rigney at Short and
Clark at second.
Both of them are a trif1e cratic
in the field. Clark gets the ball
away too slowly. They run fast
er in the big leagues than they
do in Texas unless someone is
shooting up the ballpark. The big
leaguers are about two steps fast
er than the minors and keep going
all the way if they want to draw
all their pay when check day comes.
Little scraps of information like
that will gradually percolate
through Clark's playing and if he
keeps on hitting as he has he will
stick around for quite a time in the
town that Henry Ford made ia
nous.
Joe Oescger, of the Boston Ma
tionals and Oldham of Detroit
claim to be the hardluek cham
pions of the major leagues. Meth
er of the old timers has won a
game. Il wonder if that 90 in
front of my name means what it
says" said Oldham. Guess I'll
spell that 'Au''.
Little by little the Yankees are
being worn down and the st. Louis
Americans are worrying their way
up in the race. There's only half
a game between them. The Detroit
club has to be held responsible for
some of it. After cleaning up at
Boston the Tigers have found the
Yankee wishbone sweet morsel
and are feasting on that

the season Saturday afternoon. de-
feating Monmouth college to 8.
The game was a pitchers duel be-
tween Erickson of Augustana and
r. Dickinson of the Maple City
team. Although Monmouth col
lected twice as many hits as did
the Lutherans, ten all told, Erick-

Erickson displayed masterful con-
troll, walking only two and making
four fan. Dickinson. Monmouth
star hurler, let Augie down with
four singles, but walked six batters.
A rally in the seventh inning by
the Lutheran team proved Mon
mouths undoing. With the score
standing to for Stegeman's out
fit, the Augie batters connected at
the opportune time, collecting
three runs which were just enough
to stow the game away.
Monmouth's scores came in the
first, third, and fourth innings. In
the first W. Dickinson hit, was ad-
vanced to second on Smiley's bunt,
and scored on r, Hamilton's sin
gle In the third Smiley connect
ed for single, r. Hamilton adj
vanced Smiley, and Granville con-
nected for hit scoring Smiley. A
hit by Davis followed by L. Wal
lace's two-ply knock counted
Monmouth last tally in the fourth.
The spirits of the Augie rooters
took a decided drop in the eighth
inning when, after one down, Mon
mouth succeeded in filling the
bases. Erickson showed his mas
terry. however. tanning l.. Wallace
for the second out and making C..
Wallace hit an easy grounder to
Conrey.
The score:
