Bob Meusel Praised as
: Greatest of Fielders

"When he wants to be Bob Meusel
is the greatest outfielder baseball has
ever produced" says Joe Bush, veter-
an star pitcher, formerly with the
Yankees, now with the ST. Louis
Browns.
"When 1 say this, 1 am not unmind-
full of Cobb, the wonder player, the
great Speaker, and the brilliant Eddie
Roush, as we'll as other stars 1 have
seen in action.
"Very fast, using a long stride that
has him going at full speed after TAX
ing a few steps, Meusel is without a
peer in covering ground
'In addition to his grOund-Covering
ability, his judgment Of distance is
uncanny, and he has the greatest
throwing arm in baseball.
zone must play on the same club
as Meusel to really appreciate him.
He has saved dozens of ball games
for me by seemingly impossible catches
or marvellous throws.
eff Bob was aggressive, had more
spirit, he would be more talked about
than Cobb, Roush or Speaker as out
f1elders."

McGRAW FEARS ONLY
ONE CLUB FOR FLAG
Pirates Best Team in the
National League Next to
New York Giants.

John McGraw recently said that the
Pittsburgh Pirates were the only club
that stood in the way of the Giants
for another and fifth successive Ma
tional league pennant.
Brooklyn ?-Fair. Cincinnati?-No
Chicago ?-Impossibl the master
mind of the New York club answered
when asked for his opinion about the
pennant race "The Pittsburgh club is
the best club in the league next to
the Giants and we'll have to beat
them if we win the pennant," he
said.
McGraw stuck to his boost for the
Pirates even when they were foun-
dering around almost in the cellar and
were having all the trouble in the
world in getting started. They'll come
through. Good ball clubs can always
pull out of slump and those Pirates
are a good ball club in bad slump"
he said.
The Giant boss was razzed last
year when he said that the Pirates
would be the main opposition to his
club because the Pirates fell into bad
ways and the Brooklyn Robins stepped
out and gave the champions the chase
of their lives right to the wire. The
pace was so hot that Jimmy O'COnnell
and COZy DOlan were chased out of
baseball for trying to buy a game

Minister Is Urged
to Slide for Safety

This one drifts In from a
small Southern Illinois town
where they prize their baseball.
The park is situated not far
from a small church and it hap
pened that revival was going on
one Sunday afternoon in the
place Of worship at the same
time a game was being played
not half block away.
The sermon in the little
church waxed eloquent and the
game waXed hot. The score
was tied in the eighth and
home man was making a des-
perate run for third.
Just as the minister closed
his discourse with the language
of the text: "What shall | do
to be saved? there came
loud call from an enthusiastic
rooter: "Slide, you -, slide"

"Now Great Grandmother heard of
a terrible fire that had taken place.
WORD came to the members Of the

had been terrible fire.
GLORIOUS trees of the forest had
been destroyed, ferns and shrubs, trees
of all kinds, moss-all had been de-

see the poor burnt trees. She sent the
coach back for more of her family,

",The coach kept coming back and
forth. The ponies of Fairyland drew
it along, and you know the ponies Of
Fairyland can run SO quickly and can
even fly over meadows and fields and
valleys when they get a proper start.
"Then Great Grandmother talked to
all of her family.
1T is enough that the people
Should have to see their forests de-

Control Of Wheat Smut

An investigation of the seed wheat
situation in the county, prompted by
the numerous inquiries which came to
the County agents office for assist
ance in treatment against smut, shows
that very large percentage Of wheat
is affected with covered or sinking
smut. This percentage is very much
greater than usual and unless some
attention is given by the wheat grow
ers to this disease, considerable re-
duction in next years yield may be
the result.
A great many treatments have been
used for the control of this smut.
Some of them are very efficient in the
control, but through careless use have
been the means of doing much dam
age to the vitality of the seed. How
ever, the Department of Agriculture's
latest recommendations are not only
very efficient, but easy to use and
comparatively inexpensive.
