HANS WAGNER RECIPES FIRST
 ATTEMPTS IN BIG TIME BALL

man and, believe me, when he gets angry he can use his fists, He had a big black moustache in those days -I have a picture to prove it-and that impressed me whole lot.
 Barrow and Mckee, taking Gwil- Hams tip, came to see me. I liked Barrow from the start. He was one of the biggest, stronest looking men I ever saw. What he saw must have given him a good laugh. [ In getting together material and dates for this account Barrow helped. He wrote:
 When got there I askrd about this boy Honus Wagner. They told me that he was II hack of the pool room pitching horseshoes with some other boys. 1 went back there and big gangly looking fellow came up to me saying he was I1onus. He had the funniest legs I ever saw and wore aliittle flat derby hat with a feather stuck in 1t. The only thing I could think of was Weber & Fields. Wagner looked less like a bal player than any fellow 1 ever say. Just the same. something told me I had better get this boy-e Everybody had told me he was a wonderful player. After my talk with Barrow I fig ured it would be much nearer home to be playing at Paterson than going way out to Kansas City.
 My salary was s125 a month. The main part was that I always got it on time. l never had so much fun in my life IS playing with Paterson. To me it seemed like a big vacation. When I went south training in my later years it always made me think of Paterson We had fun and eX- citement all the time. I played both | infield and outfield-would play any where anybody suggested.
 At that time my brother Al was Al took part in a funny game that year.
 Toronto and Jersey City were fight ing it out for nothing in particular. Neither one was going anywhere had no chance. There were less than fifty spectators in the stand and the players simply went through the motions. Over in the little press box the official scorer and a few news paper men were grinding away, get ting terribly bored. Nobody seemed to be paying much attention to the game. The official scorer had not been paid and was sore anyway.
 They Stopped The Clock.
 Jersey made one run in an early inning but later on it was tied, no- body seemed to care exactly when. After an hour or so, with everybody dozing, the umpire stopped the game and walked over to the press box.
 What inning is it?" he asked the official scorer.
 "Its-let me see" said the O. S., yawning It's the thirteenth now. Jersey City had the game won 10 in the ninth, but it's tie now. To- ronto scored in the tenth. It's all right, though. Go ahead and play all night if you want to. If you can stand it we can."
 Manager Barrow didn't let me do any pitching for his club and he had good reason. As I have said I started out as 8 pitcher. When I went to Akron they started me in to pitch a game. I must have had a lot of stuff. Pete Lavelle my catcher. Fused a piece of raw beef steak in his glove, I didn't hit that steak much at that. Tn that game I hit seven batters and walked nine One of those I hit was old Jack Schrader, later a big leaguer.

CHAPTER 6 Paterson, With Some Future Stars

After finishing my season in the Iron and Oil league in 1895 l was out at my home in Carnegie hunt ing, fishing and knocking around when George More1and came out to see me about joining the Pittsburg g club of the National league. He had been sent by President Kerr.
 This sounded big and, naturally, I was right smartly smoked up. Be- lieve me, thought didn't think about any more of those schemes to hold a fellow up and set s5 month more.
 At Moreland's urging I went in the city to see President Kerr. He offered me s100 month and signed up right then and there.
 There was to be .dissppoint- ment though. 1 wasn't to get in the big league as soon as l thought They didn't. think l was quite ready for the big show and wanted to farm me out to Kansas City.
 That seemed the farthest place in the world to me then. I htdn't fors gotten how homesick I got at Adrian, Mich. So I refused to go.
 "Td much rather stay here at home with my dogs and go hunting than to go way out there and be lost I told them. I simply couldnt
 
 Unless I went to Kansas City MT Kerr didn't want me. So that ended that. l went on back home and hunted and fished some more. That winter We also had lot of fun play ing pool and pitching horseshoes may not know it, but I'm pretty good at both.
 There was MT. Mckee. who owned the Paterson, N J., club and who was in Pittsburg looking for ball players. Shad Civilian told him and Ed Barrow, his manager and partner. about me. Barrow says Civilian told him I'd be the great est ball player in the world some day This MT. Barrow is now the business manager of the New York Yankees, was one time president of the E Eastern and International leagues and was also manager of the Boston Red Sox when they won the worlds championship.

 And if you'll excuse my wander ing a little, I had another pitching experience that always amused me, even if it did annoy my old father as long as he lived. The old gentle man was not so strong for baseball until I began to get noticed. Then he was an enthusiast-at home, men. He didn't know much about the game.

The Birmingham Athletic club, known as an organization that always does things properly, if it does them at all finished up their Thirteenth Annual Road race Saturday night with a big banquet at the Tutwilet hotel for the competing teams. De- spite the inclement weatheT the race was a big success Saturday after noon and developed into sensational record for George Irons.
 This crack runner from the Univer- sity of Alabama, running his lastsrace under the Crimson and White or his alma mater, sma shed the record for the event and lowered it 20 seconds. The previous record established by Ellsworth Richter, great Birmingham Athletic club runner, was 15:47 1-5 but Irons, negotiated the three miles Saturday over the worst course upon which the race has ever been run in 15:27 4-5 which is considered phenominal time for prevailing con ditions.
 At the banquet Saturday night Irons received many congratulations by speakers for his great showing and in a talk stated simply his elation at being able to win the race in his last run, after having finished second for two years, and paid tribute to Ellsworth Richter, B. A. c. star, who was not able to run on account of an attack of appendicitis.
 Bill Streit. one, of the originator or the race and an active participant in all southern athletics, acted as toast master at the banquet Many of the visiting coaches and officials made speeches.
 Coach L. s. Irwin of the B. A. C., Coach Wilbur Hutsell of Auburn, Coach Otis Kirby of Birmingham : Southern and Coach Griffin of Geor- gia Tech made short speeches while other sport celebrates around the banquet board were called upon.

DEATH OF FAMOUS WAR HORSE

George Washington, famous war
horse, survivor of two campaigns,
mount of the late Colonel Paul Wat
erman and proud bearer Of General
Pershing in the first American re-
view in Paris, was shot by an agent
of the American Humane Society at
West Hartford in August. Though
only about Is years old, the horse,
which had been cared for in Troop
B Armory since he returned from
France, had been suffering consider
ably from his war experiences and
had grown pitiably thin. 1t was de-
cided that the best course was to end
it all.
The horse had an unusual war ret
ord. He went to the Mexican border
in the summer of 1916 and to France
in 1917 with Dr. Waterman. He was
one of the few horses to be returned
from France by the government.
Since then he had been ridden some,
but for the most part he had led a
quiet existence. When Troop B held
it's first horse show, in November,
1922, the show was built around
George Washington, who, at each
performance, was brought in triumph
antly to the strains of martial mu-
sic.-Our Dumb Animals.

THE TAXPAYERS DOLLAR

Under the caption, Five Hundred
Shots at the Taxpayers Dollar" Will
liam P. Helm, Jr., contributes an ar
ticle to The Budget, in which he
propounds the question: "How does
the federal government spend it's
billions?"
Few persons, he says, know even
small part of the story. In the
public mind government consists
largely of maintaining an army and
navy, caring for disabled veterans
and paying pensions, meeting the in
terest on the public debt and provid-
ing for the gradual retirement of the
principal developing foreign and do
nestle commerce, conducting our re-
lations with foreign nations, running
the countrys postoffices and mail
service, enforcing the federal laws,
operating the merchant marine and
a few other outstanding activities
constantly brought to public attea-
ton through the columns Of the daily
press.
But, Mr.. Helm points out that is
not all of government. Indeed, tn at
is but the foundation. Upon that
foundation there has been reared a
towering superstructure which even
yet is growing, despite the admirable
work of the bureau of the budget to
hold our national expenditures to the
minimum
Government of the United States
reaches into every field of private
efforts. 1t is the most colossal and
extensive machine that human in
genuity has ever devised.
Mr.. Helm started in January, 1922,
to compile a list of the activities of
the federal government where those
activities touched business interests
alone He disregarded the activities
of the government relating to art,
science, social service, and other sub
jects not intimately interesting TO
the average business man Of the
United States.
The task was completed in nine
months. The mere listing of the
governments activities of interest to
business men alone ran to a length
of more than 100000 words. More
than $4,000 separate and distinct
functions of government were thus
uncovered.

NO MACHINE FIRES
IN PAST FIVE YEARS
Harvest Problem Has Been Solved
by CoIIeue and Government

Harvest Problem Has Been Solved
by College and Government
e. ]. Doneen of Oakesdale, Whit
man County, reports that he has had
no threshing fires in the past five
years. Many threshing machines
could have been saved this year from
smut explosions if they had been
equipped with smut fans, is the YER
dict of Mr.. Doneen.
Five years ago demonstration was
started on the threshing machine be-
longing to Mr. Doneen, by George
L. Zundel, extension specialist in
plant disease, and the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. The machine
was equipped with smut fan, aspi-
rator and wiring system. When the
wiring system was installed the
State College made tests which
showed that 1900 volts of static
electricity were being grounded.
Mr.. Doneen is firmly convinced
that fires are unnecessary when ma
chimes are properly equipped with
Smut ran, aSplraCOr ana wiring SyS-
tenn. The aspirator has been i'm
proved since it was first put on the
separator, and Mr.. Doneen is con-
vinced that it has saved him as high
as five cents bushel by cleaning
some of the worst crops that he had
harvested.
In explaining the operation of the
smut fan Mr.. Zundel states that it
is placed on the machine back Of the
cylinder and above the shakers. A
canvas pipe carries the smut and the
chaff back to the straw pile. The
fan by keeping the clouds of black
smut from accumulating inside the
separator eliminates the chances of
an explosion and also frees the smut
from the wheat
The result of the fan alone, when
working in wheat that by actual
count contained from 13 to 10 per
cent smut in the bundle, enables the
threshed grain to sell on the market
for only one per cent dockage.

rational and correct except for, the
exercise part, and that was the rea-
son for the failure to cure with such
method.
Only in recent years has the great
est step toward real success in the
treatment and care of consumption
been made. Just as a tuberculous
bone or gland lesion was found to
improve and afterward be cured un-

practically an immobilization of the

In addition to the absolute resi-,
good nourishment, fresh air and
other measures were, Of course, part
of the treatment.
1t was found that in a relatively
short time the fever would disap.

weight, feel more comfortable, the
amount of sputum would diminish
and improve in character, and the
