MERELY FOR PROTECTION

The story has been mentioned be-
 fore in these columns of the farmers i who were suspicious of the high milk l prices offered by condcnscry com- [ pany which located in their territory. They had been in the habit Of taking 1 their milk to the cheese factories and they feared fl they contracted with the
 new company to deliver an their milk 10 it, inc company would get establish
 cd. the cheese factories would have 10
 shut down and then, If the big com- pany began to reduce the prices it | offered, they. the farmers, would have
 10 accept those low prices having no
 other market since the cheese fac tories had shut down and fallen to
 pieces. So, merely to protect them l selves, they bought q centrally locat- cd cheese factory and kept it iH repair pany lowered it's prices. Tho company did not reduce the prices Whether or
 not the presence of that cheese fac- tory. ready to be put in operation to ! furnish a market for the milk had
 anything to do with keeping prices mp, is not the question. The prices did keep up--rhat is all inc farmers want cd.
 When the project for tuberculosis hospital was broachcd years ago Inc Herald favored il. II served good
 purroso and this newspaper did what it could 10 sustain sentiment in favor
 of keeping it going when thcr" vas talk of abandoning il with no other

P|ML|CO
Green Spring Valley Event to
Draw an Excellent Field
of HurdIers.

BALTIMORE, April, 7.-Pimlico
has long enjoyed an enviable reputa-
ton for its jumping events, and
was the first course in the country
to include a steeplechaS0 on its daily
program.
Away back in the '70s and sos
the names of such clever performers
over hurdles and through the field
as Oysterman Jr., Biddly Ramlone,
Trouble, Coronet, Problem, and
Derby were on every sportsman's
lips, and Pat" Meany, Midgely,
Johnnie" Hyland, Sutcliffe, and
others were the undeniable leaders
among cross-country riders.
The finish Of the steeplechases
was then on the track, the horses
leaving the infield at the head OF
the stretch, but the unfortunate ac-
cident of Joe Letter, ridden by Dion
Kerr, which collided with. the sharp
end of the rail at the turn, cutting
so deep cash in his shoulder that
he bled to death shortly after re-
turning to scale on three legs, neces-

the finest in the country, and has
been rolled so constantly that it is
now as firm and springy as 1t can
possibly be made.
Among the spectacular jumping
events at Pimlico, the Green Spring
Valley Steeplechase, run in the
i spring and the autumn, is second
only to the Manly Memorial in point
of interest and in monetary value.
| The spring steeplechase is a handi-
cap for four-year-olds and upward.
1 starters to pay 500 each to the
winner, with $4,000 added, Of which
$1,000 to the second, $500 to the
third, and $3.50 to the fourth. The
distance is two miles.
The Green Spring Valley Steeple-
chase is scheduled for Saturday.

Allan Russell has gone to Wash.
ington, where he will give his
strained arm a complete rest, He
was. pitching great ball against the
Braves when he felt a twinge in
his wing and wisely quit before in
Turing himself seriously. The club
physician will give the Uncover
tomorrow.
Manager Harris is looking for
ward to the opening of the cam
paign much az a school boy might.
He is finding it difficult to keep
down his overlooking spirits. Con.
fidence is his middle name, not con.
fidence in winning a pennant, but
confidence in making good as the
scrappy leader of a scrappy ball
club. The Griffs are goig to play
snappy ball as long as Harris is in
charge.
The most glaring weakness in
the team right now is its lack Of
infield reserve strength. Manager
Harris know this and does not in
tend letting any fairly respectable
infieldeRs get out of either big
league without at least looking at
them.
For instance" explains Manager
Harris, 1--WE have refused to waive
on Robertson, Ellerbe and EZzen,
three of the st. Louis infielders,
not because any one of the three
would at once hop into our infield,
but any one OF the three would be
valuable in case of injuries to any
of our regulars. 1t is merely a
matter Of self-protection for US to
get hold of at least one more in
fielder. Chick Gagnon is now the
only extra man l have to play Sec
ond,, third, or short in case of acct
dent. But I believe we will get
somebody before long. The clubs
are beginning to cut down their
rosters; that will give us time to
scare up a real one"
Byron Specie, by his several ex-
cellent trials within the past two
weeks has earned himself a place
In the first four hurlers. He will
start one of the games with the
Mackmen next week, probably the
fourth.
The Omaha undetermined singer
shows fine control, and if he can
pitch as well in the regular season
as he has in Florida this spring
against National League teams, he
should make name for himself in
his very first year in the big show.
Specie looked great Saturday at
St. Petersburg, his speed and hook
from his peculiar delivery battling
the Braves. He will face them
again on this trip north. possibly
tomorrow at Macon. There are
great possibilities in this young
= man.
- Rochester is the one minor league
team to play-the Griffs on this
short transforming trip and Walter
Beall, former star pitcher for the
Mohawk club in Washington, is ex-
pected to serve up his stuff for at
least part of the game TODAY,

FOUL LINE RULE
ENFORCEMENT
IS SOUGHT
City Duckpin Association
Delegates Will Act on
Regulation.

A rule likely to meet with popu.
lar favor of both bowler and alley
management will be acted on at the
next meeting of the Washington
City Duckpin Association. 1t is tho
foul line rule, now observed strictly
in the associations annual tourna.
ment, but disregarded by a vast
majority of leagues.
Sliding over the foul line not only
is a drawback to the sport, but is
seriously injurious to the bowling
alley, wearing out Of shape the first
few feet of the runway. 1t Is to
the bowler's interest that the alley
be kept In as excellent condition
as possible.
The rule was read at a meeting
Of the City Duckpin Association al
the Recreation. Another proposed
rule to be acted on by the league
delegates at the next meeting would
abolish the common practice in
league competition of having each
bowler roll two boxes in each turn
on the alleys. One box at q time
Is proper, according to rules govern
