That's that, and now l hope a ton
of bricks won't fall down on me.
But what say goes.
There are a lot of tricks to this
pitching business that the pitchers
of today don't seem to be on to.
don't mean, you understand, that
all or any Of the pitchers in the
big leagues are dumb. A dumb
pitcher can't get by in he big
leagues, and I don't mean to saw
thatthe pitchers nowadays aren't
smart.
What I do say is that taken
as a group they aren't as smart
as they used to be. That's just
my opinion after looking 'em
over a dozen seasons. And while
it may be wrong, it also goes for
the pitchers in my own league
even though most of them are
my good friends.
Urban Shocker of the Browns is
my IDEA of real smart pitcher. So
is Bob Shawkey. of the Yankees.
But where are the Chief Benders,
the Eddie Planks, Walter Johnsons
and pitchers like them? They could
do things with a baseball that you
don't see pitchers doing very much
nowadays.
OF course, there are two ways of
looking at this thing. If you judge
pitching by games won and lost,
there can't be very much difference
one way or the other, between the
pitchers of now and the pitchers of
ten years ago. There are a lot of
mighty good men around today.
There always will be.
But somehow, have the notion
that they don't quite class with
the fellows who have passed on,
and in a way I speak with SOM.
knowledge because l strike out
more than anybody in my league.
That means / am fooled more
often than the other hitters. 1t
also means / would be fooled
more if Plank, Bender and the
rest of those old timers were
around pitching to me, now. I'm
mighty glad they're not. I'm
sure they'd keep me In an awful
stew of trouble.
1 don't think I'm one of those
birds that believe the old days
were the best days. AS a matter
! of fact, I'm sure I'm not. So Far
as 1 know 1 don't believe there
ever was a. better offensive oaIl
player than Ty Cobb.
/ hear a lot about Hans Wagner
and Buck Ewing, but what / know
about them comes through hear
say. I've heard lot too, about
Matty, and Three-fingered Brown,
RUDE Waddell, Radbourne, and
Rusie, but with all due respect to
them I don't believe they ever
had anything on Walter Johnson.
/ used to be a pitcher myself
| and hold a record for consecutive
scoreless pitching in world series
games. So in a way 1 know a
| little about pitching, from the point
of a man on the rubber and a
man at the plate, and I mean ex-
| actly what l say when 1 put it
down that the pitchers Of today
aren't as smart as they used to be.

.TAX VALUE&

will help reduce your taxes.
BY so doing you will build up in
dustry and create greater values
for your town and county, which
in return will cut your millage in
taxes. Reason teaches US this.
Now stop and reflect upon this
matter. Every corporation that
builds station for supplies in
your nejghborhood creates more
value to derive taxes from.
On the other hand if yon use
the selfish motive and buy from
outside of your town and county
you will drive your home town
industries out Of eXistance and
thus the bruden of taxation falls
back upon your property, as that
is the only means we have for
reasing taxes, and on the other,
hand there is but very little to be
derived by trading with institu-
tions outside of our territory.
If we would use the slogan of
''Trade at Home" and practice
what we preach we would soon
have local Industries springing
up in our midst and thus create
a greater volumn of business
in which we would reap much
greater benefit than that of pat
ronizing the far distant concerns
where we will never get any
benefit whatsoever from the
transaction. except the small
margin that you think you may
save, but is consumed in the ex-
ira expense of getting the goods.
DO you remember in the good
old days of years ago when one
neighbor would trade work with
the other and thus make a saw
ing? The same plan will work
in doing oar trading at home:
your county needs your support
to help build up more industries
in which you may help derive
some future benefit from.
We are urging this trade-at-
home because we believe you are
interested in your town, COM
munity and county welfare.
There has to be a certain amount
Of taxes raised every year and
the more industries we lan in
duce to be established in our
community thus increasing its
values, the more we will have to
draw from.
The local newspaper is and has
always been ready to help any
industry that would be Of any
benefit to your town; which, in
any way would throw trade to-
the merchants, furnish labor to
the working men, benefit the
residents or Of the many other
ways certain improvements are a
factor in building up a town.
When a town ceases improv-
ing at that moment it begins to
go backward, and then it is that
every one should boulster ub and ,
not allow dull times to sap up
the remaining lifeblood of the
community.

Barbour Reports
Maine Diaries Are
In Good Condition

1.-THE Maine diaries selling milk to
the public were found in very good
condition and the milkmen as a
class realize the necessity for san
itary production of milk and cream, %
declared State Dairy Inspector For
rest A. Barbour in a statement is
sued Thursday summarizing the in
spection work carried on by that di-
vision last spring and this summer.
MANY improvements are being
made in the dairies," continued Mr..
Barbour. Unfortunately there are
few careless dairymen who hurt
the public opinion in regard to milk
dealers. If these few could be elm
mated there is no reason why Maine
should not be getting the best milk
in the world"
Mr.. Barbour reported that to date
the State Dairy division has issued
44S1 milk licenses this year and the
total number will probably be about
200 more than were issued last year.
OF the number issued to date this
year, about 1900 are licenses to
dairies who deliver retail milk. OF
these 1900, approximately 700 have
been inspected by the local inspec-
tors and 700 by the State inspectors.
Several of the dairies have been
visited more than once. Eleven dali
ries were refused licenses until con-
ditions were remedied and seven of
that number complied with the re-
quirements and were granted Ii
cenSeS.

Black Swimmers
POpham Beach

A visitor at the Department of In
land Fisheries and Game yesterday
who had just returned from a So
journ at Popham Beach, reported a
flock of eight black swimmers there
a few days ago. These birds had
evidently been driven to that point
by the recent storm. The party in
question, a nonresident, could not
identify the birds he saw and while
passing through Augusta called at
the museum with a view of ascer-
tanning their identity. When he en-
tered the museum the work of pre-
pairing the specimen which the de-
partment had received from Jones'
port a few days ago was under way,
and the caller was much pleased to
learn that the department had one Of
the specimens, and also to learn
something of the identity and life
history of these birds.
If anyone has any knowledge OF
these birds of late on other parts OF
the coast, the department would be
glad to receive information regard
ing same as to locality and time.
