mechanically of that section of his
overalls upon which he was sitting.
He sprang to his feet with an excla-
nation and looked at the spot he had
occupied. Moisture! A seepage!
Water! His eyes grew big with hor-
ror. Even as he looked with dilating
pupils he could see the earth darken
with the spreading moisture. He had
sunk too many wells not to know
what it portended. Not only his days
but his hours were numbered. If it
was alkali it would seep in slowly and
prolong his agony; If it were not, it
would come faster. He would die lit
orally in grave of his own digging.
He sat down again because his
shaking legs refused to support him,
and leaned his head against the side
for the same reason. Rufus was no
hero and there was no need to pre-
tend to be, drowning by himself like
rat in a bucket.

The memory Of field mouse that
had fallen into a pit haunted him, its
futile, frantic struggles to scale the
steep sides, and he remembered that

had rescued it.
His suffering would be worse than
that Of the field mouse, for he had the
intelligence to know that it was use

hope for him unless someone came to
his assistance. And merciful heav-

The dope is that Leonard recently

It is well known that Manager Cobb

Leonard is rated as one of the

was when in his prime, he would
greatly help Detroit.

BE SLATED FOR MUCH
CUBS DON'T SEEM TO
BETTERTHAN FOURTH
May Be Improved a Little
But Not Enough
to Rise.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
New York, April 12.-The Chicago
Cubs will have to fight for the fourth
position in the first division of the
National League which they occupied
last year. There doesn't seem a
chance that they will get higher than
fourth.
The team and club are q fine lot,
from their journalistic president
down. They are thoroughly domesti-
Gated. That's their chief trouble. per-
haps.' Your domesticated ball player
rarely raised enough racket &c make
the world sit up and take notice.
The infield seems to be pretty much
as it was last year. 1t is a smooth
outfield that is not bad for its expert
ence. Grimes plugs at first. Grant
ham is made-to-order second base
man who certainly will be better for
his experience last year. Adams is
no Hollocher. but then there aren't
many Hollochers, anyhow. Friberg
at third is thought so well of that
they wouldn't trade him for any other
third sacker.
At bat the Cub infield is not so
powerful as some others. There may
be change in this respect. 1t GER
tainly is needed. Two or three sticks
of dynamite set off by Chicago
around the National League hearth
stone might bring the West back in
the place that it covets.
Behind the bat the Cubs are all
right. They have good receivers, who
can bat. Good batting catchers are
worth a lot. In the box the Cubs
presumably are stronger than they
| were last season, and that is one of
the few things that favor them in
1924. Alexander and Aldridge are a
reliable pair of AS. The former. big.
powerful old chap that he is. should
not worry about his skill against the
present day batters If his arm re-
tains its strength. The younger Chi
cago pitchers who have been retained
seem to be good.
The outfield is not great. but it is
useful. One could hardly call Miller.
STATE and Heathcote the equals of the
fielders of Pittsburg. New York or
Cincinnati. But they are fast and
that should count for lot. although
they can't hit like the outfielders just
mentioned.
On paper the Cubs certainly have
not the strength TO go many points
above their 1923 percentage.
1t does seem probable, however.
that if their pi.Nhers go along well
they win make of every game a con
test worth while. AS likely as NOT
there will be as many close games
played by the Cubs this year as By
any other club. If they had about
ten points more strength in batting
they would win more of those close
ones. ~
Hollocher may come back. he is
great shortstop on his record. But
when a player drops out for season
because of illness, the rule is that he
never comes back quite as good.

GLENNA COLLETT, AT
TOP OF GAME, WOULD
BEAT MISS WETHERED
So Says Ray Mccarthy,
Whom American Golf
Star Impresses.
By RAY MCCARTHY.

Copyright, 1924, by Consol. Pres5 Assn.
New York, April 12.-Playing the
golf that she is today, Glenna Col
lett, the slender Providence girl, who
can drive ball almost as far as the
hardest-hitting professionals in this
country. should easily defeat Miss
Joyce Wethered, the British cham
pion, who is being hailed by some OF
the English golf writers as "the
greatest woman golfer of all times"
In the opinion of most American
players of note and writers and critics
of the game. Miss Collett is quite the
equal of any woman who ever played
golf and many feel that at the pres
ent time she completely dominates the
entire field of women golfers.
A match between Miss Collett and
Miss Wethered. who is a sister of
Roger Wethered, the British amateur
champion. would be in every sense a
real golf battle of the century"
Miss Collett, however, will not go
abroad this year. There is just a
to America. Linksmen everywhere
are hoping that she will.
Miss Collett has shown extraor-
binary ability during the last three
years, during which time she has won
virtually every important tournament
in the East. Last fall she was de-
throned as queen Of American golf by
Mrs. Vanderbeck in a hard-fought
struggle. But since then she has come
back stronger than ever and it is
quite likely that she will regain her
title this year, provided she does not
suffer a complete reversal of form
between now and the time the ma
tional women's championship is held
in Providence.
Hitherto Miss Collects erratic
work around the greens has proved
her undoing in those few matches
in which she has met defeat. She now
seems to have steadied considerably in
this respect. She has always pos
sessed remarkably long game. In
hopping up all competition in the
South this last winter, she displayed
very steady and consistent short
game also.
Miss Collett can hold her own with
nearly every golfer in the game on
wooden shots. Not long ago she en-
gagged in a match with Johnny Farrell
and Tommy Kerrigan, two leading
professionals.
ave would drive without thinking
much about Miss Collett," said Ker-

more than $50 yards. The player:

of the week at Pinehurst proved that

least looks as if he is riding the crest

Here at Pinehurst this week was
gathered the greatest field of profess
sienals ever assembled in this par
ticular tournament. There were
Hagen, Hutchison, Sarazen, Havers,
Barnes, Ockendon. Farrell, Kirkwood,
Macdonald Smith. Kerrigan and d

capable of playing great golf.

Hagen and Hutchinson were paired
for the second days play and the
great majority of spectators, figuring
that one of this pair was to win,
.trailed after them. Why? Because
they were playing better than the
others: By no MEANS Simply be-

Macdonald Smith and Johnny Far
rel, with not soul following, did
all the scintillating in the third, or
rmorning round, when they came
through with a pair of 70's in the face
of poor golfing conditions. And in
the afternoon, Gene Sarazen, playing
with the promising young Henry
sCiuci, turned in the greatest round
sof. the entire tournament, a 60, in
espite of a stiff breeze, without a
single person being on hand to wit
ness this remarkable performance.
The mob had gone on ahead, with
Hagen:
Had some earnest soul DESTROYS of
improving his game elected to follow
Sarazen on his last round he would
haze seen the American professional
champion strutting his stuff in per-
feet style.
Havers and Ockendon played three
rourtls without ever being troubled by
gallery. Contrast this picture with
that of a year ago in the British
open championship when Havers
tranped up TO the last green at Deal
with a crowd of more than 10000 at
his heels. This rule that the crowd
follows the winner regardless of who
the others are or what they may have
done has a few exceptions. A GER
tain number always follow Hagen,
regardless of his position in the race,
because he not only is great golfer,
but is also a very spectacular per-
former. Also he is a magnificent
putter and the crowd delights in see
ing long puts.
Hutchison, colorful performer,
also had a regular following and
Sarazen, since he came into promi-
hence two years ago, usually attracts
a large gallery. But the others must
be4well on their way to victory before
the crowd will pick IN their trail.

Unnecessary Expense to
Grind Beans for Swine

Fattening hogs will eat whole soy
beans more readily than ground soy
beans, according to G. NJ. Vestal Of
Purdue university. A series of ex-
periments just finished at the agrt-
culture college shows that lot Of
pigs fed ground beans made an aver
age daily gain of 1.56 pounds during
a Today test. They ate 301 pounds
of corn and so pounds of soy beans
for each 100 pounds gain. A lot fed
on whole soy beans made exactly the
same daily gain. They ate 2S2
pounds of corn and 95 pounds Of soy
beans for each 100 pounds gain. The
feed cost for 100 pounds gain was
S5.77 for the ground soy beans and
s5.S2 for the whole soy beans, with
corn at 20 cents bushel, ground soy
beans at S1.50 a bushel and whole
soys at S1.45 a bushel.
In a check experiment with three
lots of hogs. the lot fed on ground
soy beans made daily gain of 1.64
pounds with a feed cost of $6.05 per
hundred pounds gain. The lot BED on
whole soys made a gain of 1.69 pounds
daily with feed cost of 5000 per
hundred. A third lot fed on I'M
threshed soy beans made an average
daily gain of LA pounds at q
feed cost Of S6OS. These figures
show that grinding beans for hogs is
an unnecessary expense.
