The players complained, however, that the greens were too fast, l due to the dryness.

BRAINs WON. IS VERSION

PARIS, May 1s.-tBy Associated Press. )-Sir Gallahad. Ill., -.yinner of the Lincolnshire handicap, defeated Epinard, crack French four-year-old in their match race at St. Cloud track today.
 Sir Gallahad, ridden by Frank O'Neill, the American jockey, won by a short neck from his rival on which Everett Haynes, also an American, had the mount.
 Brains and not horsefiesh won the race in the opinion of experts at the track, who claimed the jockeys consti- tnted the supreme factor.
 <, When Sir Gallahad nosed out Epi- nard, it was Jockey O'Neill of St. Louis, who was the victor, tFiumphing. over Jockey Haynes, of the Bronx and Okla homa.. Haynes, who only recently left the American hospital at Neuilly where he had been confined by serious illness, could not cope with O'Neill, who was fresh from his victories in the Lincoln- shire stakes and the Kempton park jubilee handicap.
 In a heart-breaking finish O'Neill, with whip and spurs, literally showed Sir Gallahad's nose in front of Epinard while Haynes, sitting still on the pride of the French turf, was riding none too vigorously before the astounded multi

 Pitcher, Detroit Tigers: Led the Ameri- can league in 1929 for games wen.
 Every pitcher ondeavers to conceal from the batter the kind of ball he is about to deliver. This can be done by using as near as possible the same delivery for each Kind of bail pitched and by keeping the ball covered as much as possible with the sioVed hand. There are a few tricks used such as gripping the ball as though throwing q curve--changing 1t just before the ball leaves the hand A spit-ball pitcher protends 10 wet every ball. though approximately one-haR are not spit balls.

tBy Leased Wire to The Age -Herald) E PARIS, May 10.--After a brave fight under 10-pound weight handi- cap, Epinard, the famous French four year-old colt which is to race in America during the summer, was beaten by mere half length at St. Cloud track Monday in a match race against Sir Gallahad, III, as mad crowd of 100000 drawn from all over Europe, raised an excited outcry in half a dozen tongues.
 Sir Gallahad, III, heavily backed by British bettors because of his victory in the Linconshire in England early m the spring, paid 2S francs for ten frame ticket issued by the pari-mutuels. Pierre Wertheimer, the millionaire per fumery manufacturer, owner of Epi- hard, was said to have lost more than 100000 francs in private wagers on his horse. 5asN
 The mutuel machines handled 402 O0O francs in wagers on both horses. Jef- ferson D. Cohen, owner of Sir Gala had, III, bet heavily on his horse but the amount of his winnings is not pub licly known.
 Ridden by two American jockeys, Frankie O'Neill on Sir Gallahad, HI, and Everett Haynes on Epinard, the horses got away to perfect break, with Sir Gallahad, III, on the rail, hattened out and barely nose ahead. At fifty yards Sir Gallahad's lead was mere matter of inches. Both horses were run ming with great power and did not seem to be failing under the pace. as they went into the straight-away with Sir Gallahad. III, leading by. a length. Haynes shook Epinard into sprint POO yards from the finish and the delerious crowd went into new frenzy as it appeared that the champion of the 1923 season would overtake and pass Sir Gallahad, III, in the drive to the wire. However, it developed afterward that Haynes made his dash too soon. for O'Neil brought Sir Gallahad, III, along in the final and winning squirt when Epinard was run out and had not the strength remaining in his legs to match the challenging fury of the winners last strides. Sir Gallahad, III. shot across the line, winning by a bare ly perceptible margin and O'Neil was torn from his saddle by the enthusiastic embrace of those who had bet on the short-ender.

WISCONSIN DAIRY SITUATION
SURVEYED
Better Feeding and Better Breeding
VIII Solve Dairyman's Problems,
Say Experts.

One third of all the dairy COWS in
the state of Wisconsin is losing
money, a third is making up for
what the first third is losing and the
other third is reaping profits for
their owners, according to a survey
of the state dairy situation, just
completed by the Blue Valley
Creamery Institute. Better feeding
and better breeding is the solution
of this problem, the Institute ex-
perts declare.
THE state of Wisconsin," con
tinues the report of lie Institute
has dairy cows in milk on 90 per
cent of her farms. In 1880 the
state had 3.S4 per cent of all the
dairy cows in the United States: in
l921-9.12 per cent, In 1910 the
state had 245 heads of all kinds of
cattle per one thousand acres of
improved land. Now in 1924, it has
only 225 head A few head more
or less matters little. Have they
improved in fourteen years? What
will they be fourteen years from
now? These are the questions on
which the Institutes experts will
enlighten the farmers
Farmers want happiness and
contentment. To get it they must
make money. There are two ways
of doing this-get more money for
what they produce or lower cost of
production. A quarter saved in
the grain cost of producing
hundred pounds of milk by feeding
better milk making grain rations,
dime saved per one hundred pounds
of pork, or dozen eggs, is money
ahead for the farmer. We don't
need more cows, hogs or hens. We
need better ones. More efficient
animals mean lowered cost of manu-
featuring one hundred pounds of
milk, pork, poultry, beef, mutton
and eggs.
THE ACREAGE COW in Wisconsin
makes only 4,0t6 pounds of milk,
and only Az per cent of all the dairy
cattle in the state are purebrcd
Better feeding will raise production
and lower costs per hundred pounds
of milk. The daughters of good
cows, sired by purebred bulls, will
increase that production and further
lower costs Of production. The same
is true with other animals. In 1919,
the peak year. only "a per cent Of
the entire states income went to
farmers. That is not enough" the
Institutes experts point out
There has been a rising tide Of
popularity in intensive farming. As
agriculture is brought face to face
with higher costs of production and
farmers find that they cannot get
by on highest priced lands, it has
been necessary to turn to diversified
ton Deflation has made every
banker and farm leader see these
things.

ces have become common as punish
ment of illicit liquor dealings in
many sections of the state. The

Wisconsin Has
Deposits of Copper
State Geologist Convinced That Cop
per Abounds in Area Extending
From Hurley West.
Lc.syrreeWNul

w. 0. Hotchkiss, state geologist,
who with his staff recently complet-
ed the summer outdoor work in
connection with a survey of copper
areas in Northern Wisconsin, be-
lieves that there are deposits of
copper in the area extending from
Hurley west through Mellen to the
Minnesota boundary. The survey
has been extending over a period of
ten years.
According to Mr.. Hotchkiss, the
work will be continued each summer
until the project is completed. While
the work of this and past years has
convinced the geolOgist that copper
abounds in Wisconsin in an area ex-
tending from Hurley, through Mellen
to the Minnesota boundary probably
in abundance and comparing
favorably with the quality and guam
tity Of the Michigan area adjoining,
no recommendation as to early
prospecting are forthcoming from
the department at this time.
Reasons for the absence of such
recommendation are given by Mr..
Hotchkiss as lack Of a favorable
market, abunGancy Of the output in
other vicinities and untimeliness of
an extensive report as to the Wiscon-
sin resources of copper, pending
further research and survey.
Copper outcrops in Wisconsin
in a number of places, according to
the geologist. Where the area does
not show actual outcropping enough
trace of copper has been found, he
says, to warrant an assertion that
copper abounds in northern Wiscon-
sin. This assertion is based
primarily on the preliminary surveys,
study Of rock and soils, and on
additional opinion Of biologists and
engineers who have worked the
Michigan area.
81 am firmly convinced" says Mr..
Hotchhss, ''that time will show that
Wisconsin will be among the leading
states in the production of copper.
While this area may not be ushered
in for a number of years, / believe
that in perhaps a decade, Wisconsin
miners will be sufficiently justified
in prospecting work in the state.
This will depend, however, upon a
number Of conditions, among them
being the then available supply Of
copper in America, favorable rlnrket-
price and competition at the time
look forward to seeing Wisconsin
among the leading copper states
at may seem to many persons that
the present survey work being done
in Wisconsin's "copper" area" IS
more or less a waste of energies Of
our workers when we cannot forsee
production by private enterprise in
copper for many years, but this is
not the case. Our work is an
indication that the state is alive to
future prosperity in mining and time
will show, believe, that our efforts
were not wasted. This effort we
hope will be Of immense value to
posterity."
The value o. the survey work in
Wisconsin already is Indicated in
inquiries that have been made from
MANY out-of-the-state sources, espe-
ciallv men interested in copper min
ing, as to the progress Of the work
and its preliminary results, the
, geologist says.
