Grinding Corn for Stock

Iowa experiments number of years
ago demonstrated that hogs under 200
pounds in weight usually made more
economical gains on ear corn than on
ground corn. With cattle there is a
slight economy in grinding as rule.
but II there are hogs following the
cattle, It seems that the expense Of
grinding Is not justified. Dairy cows
seem to appreciate ground corn, but
neither fatteniny hogs nor fattening
steers will. as rule. pay for the cost

Stuffy Stewart is due to arraign his
pennant chasers against the Crimsons
on Denny Field Friday afternoon in
the. annual -Crimsons affair.
That will be all the excitement around
the Capstone unless Coach Wade
should decide to send his varsity crew
the Crimson mentor is not very strong
On such games. He is of the belief that
much better results can be had in the
way he is going. ~
The present practice methods of the
Crimsons are rather hard to explain.
The squad turns out pretty early and
all take hand at hitting practice.
Then Coach Wade SHES his regulars of
the present moment to their respective
positions and usually places himself
in the pitching box. The rest of the
squad hit, run the bases and get three
outs. When a side is retired, the same
thing is done over-the team on the
field does not participate in this hit
ting affair, however.

But Hopes For Real Work Soon

OF the infielders, Cy Anderson, late
with Chattanooga, Is at first, with j.

his job. Billy Gleason, who was In
jured early last season, Is again at
second in place of Padgett, who went
to Boston. Bobby Lamotte will have

Brummitt is working at short with a
youngster from Arkansas, Red Bra
zeale, alternating. Tommy Taylor Is
a fixture at third.
Wick Has Competition
Sam Wick reported this week and
found plenty of opposition from young
sters. Wade, another outfielder, former
ly with Nashville, is trying out. Roy
Carlyle, Oglethorpe baseball and grid
iron star is on the job. w. H. Massey,
secured from the Vernon club of the
Pacific Coast league, is due in camp.
The most likely prospect is Harry Mil
Ter, a Kitty Lacquer. who played in
seven games last year. Miller is faster
than any man in the Southern league
at the present time. Last season, in
seven games, he stole four bases. His
hitting was weak against lefthanders,
but is Deing improved. He is slated for
center field to supplant Howard Camp,
who went to the Barons.
NOT miner is the only ullllty man II
present. although there are number
of sandlot players in camp. Molly
Craft is working with the Chicks. but
has no hope of pitchers again. devoting
his time to first base, where he hopes
to make good again.
The Chicks, on paper, appear to be
strong contenders-if the pitchers de-
liver as expected. Fowlkes had an OPP

expected to aid his powers of endur-
ance. Mitchell is in condition. an I'M
usual feature, and the veterans are In
good shope. Just now Dobbs is worry
ing about the weather and the oppor-
tunity, or lack of opportunity, to get
some practice before the exhibition sea-
son opens Wednesday against St. Paul.
He needs another outfielder of assured
worth and possibly another pitcher.
Given these, the Tribe can be depended
upon to push any of the teams in tho

The showing of prospective regulars

toomed above the average as prospects,
while several lived up to their reputa-

= Both teams were well mixed with
some regulars and. veterans on both
mines. Pop Robertson led the "Ir-

veterans. rockies and, ex-big league
stars. The game was originally slated
FOR five innings, but the weather was
SO good that a full game was played.
l. Six Pitchers Show Stuff
Six pitchers got an opportunity to
show their wares in the game Satur-
day. Paul Bennett, Sam LYMAN, Law
ton McWhirter and Carl Dunagan, who
have not performed with the Barons
before, served them from the mound
Saturday.
The submarine offerings of Bennett
seemed to be little liked by his oppo-
