Too much money and TOO
much success, that's the main
fault with the Giants today. Of
course, there have been other
things that have hurt us lately.
The injuries to Snyder and Tyson,
>the in-and-out pitching, the catch
ing weakness, Kelly's failure to
bat in the last few games, Meu-
sells Indifferent fielding at times
and the heat in Chicago. But
the main thing is in the DISPOSE
ton of the club. It has not been
hustling with that will-to-win de-
termination of a team to whom
the pennant heights are a new
sensation"
Allowing for slight difference
here and there, everything Nc
Graw says of his Giants might
with equal truth be said by
Bucky Harris of his American
League champions.
The Griffs have experienced
in-and-out pitching, Indifferent
fielding at times by this player
or that, the heat, the cold and
the injuries and illness incident
to the game. And some of the
boys have suffered from too much
money and too much success.
Bucky Harris supplied the
spark that set the Griffs running
wild in 1924, crashing over the
line ahead Of the Yankees and
Athletics. They were a roaring
blaze that made cinders out of
the Giants in the world series.
The embers were still smolder-
ing in 1925 and again Harris was
in tanning them into
new life. He was able to keep
the team fighting close on the
heels of the Mackmen until the
latter cracked under the strain.
This year the Griffs' manager
has felt little response. At only
infrequent times have the players
displayed the aggressiveness ex-
hibited in the two previous years
and it is for this reason largely
that President Griffith is parting
with his unimaginative veterans
and adding new blood to his ag-
gregation.

Now that the Amateur Ath-
letic Union through its South

Then, too, there is the case

lomatic manner, for there is no

our own circles.
According to the proposal of
the South Atlantic branch, lead

be invited to Baltimore shortly
to smoke the pipe Of peace.
The invitation for such pow
WOW is so recent that accept
ances or declarations have not
yet been decided upon, but The
Washington Times, which has
thoroughly aired Washington
A. A. U. relationships, sees no
reason why tentative arrange
ments shouldn't be made to
make everything healthy within
our athletic fold.
If the A. A. u. is sincere in
wanting to give this city a
better break in the future, it
seems to us that level heads
like Cap'n Cleland's, Lou Titles,
Dan Hassett's and others should
be able to detect such a sim
certify in any meeting between
representatives of this city and
the. A. A. US ENJOYS.
In view of the fact that this
city has enjoyed in A. A. U.
councils only a registration
official in the South Atlantic
branch, some arrangements
should be made whereby our
representation should be equally
as powerful in numbers and
voting strength as that of Bal
timore. That would require as
large a membership as in the
Monumental City.
To proceed under any less
potent an understanding would
surely lead to a situation where
we might again be dominated
by Baltimore-the thing about
which we protest the loudest.
In athletic and legislative
quality we should yield to none,
and it is, to be hoped that
firm chins and stiff upper lips
will assert themselves at any
and all parleys.

Earl Whitehill is expected to pitch
for the Tigers, though there Is no
telling what Manager Cobb will
do. That is one Of the charming
things about a Detroit pitchers
life-he never knows for sure when
he is to enter the box.
More slipshod. sandlot baseball

harness bull sauntered over and
took q seat on the Detroit bench.
1t was all right for the Tigers TO
fight among themselves, but it
was too much when the fight
threatened to become public and
not private.
Stan Coveleskie was showered
with bingles in the very first frame,
although but one run came over.
He took it on the beezer again in
the fifth when a pass, four singles
and a. long fly sent four Tigers
over the pan. That was. enough
for Covey, and Jimmy Uchrinsko
appeared in the sixth.
For one session Jimmy, escaped
death and destruction, but he got
both in the seventh when the
Jungaleers collected four more runs
on a pass, four singles and two
doubles. That ended the days toll
for Jimmy, Bill Morrell tWirling the
last two frames and keeping the
enemy away from the plate.

pions were in front, their two runs

Real Test For Reds

THE Pittsburgh Pirates, world
l. champions, simply refuse to
be shaken off the trail of
the Cincinnati Reds and, begin
ming next week, the real test of
the Reds will begin. They will
be travelling around the Eastern
half of the circuit where their
pitching staff is certain to be
tested to it's limit. The Reds
have the strongest twirling staff
in the National League but they
will have to support them with
considerable hitting if they are
to hold their leadership in what
is the hottest pennant fight in
years among the teams of the
old league.

A large mash consumption Is neces.

It pays to induce the laying hens TO
eat as much mash as possible. One
way is TO reduce the amount Of grain
fed by feeding It only In the evening
This will keep the hens hungry and
eating mash.
Be sure there Is space enough at
the hoppers at any time the hens want
to eat or they will start TO forage for
themselves. one foot OF hopper space
for every FIVE hens is recommended
for maximum consumption.
Keep suggesting mash to the flock

Laying House Should Be
Cleaned Before Autumn

The laying house should be thor
0ughly cleaned before the pulIets are
put In It. A common method Is to
remove all the interior fixtures and
clean thoroughly by sweeping down
the walls and removing all the litter
and dirt from the 6oor. Prepare a
good dlslnfectant by adding 5 parts
of some good standard stock dip to
95 parts OF water, and with the use
Of force pump saturate the interior
of the building with this disinfectant.
The same method should be used for
cleaning the Interior equipment Aft
er a days exposure to the sunlight for
thorough drying. the poultry house
fixtures may be put in place. Spread
clean sand over the floor and cover
It with 3 TO inches OF bright clean
straw. This will put the house In
condition for the early maturing pull
