Live Stock Items

The only stock that should be album
dainty watered is live stock.
1t does not pay to grind or soak corn
for pigs or large hogs.
Keep the horses busy. Every day
they stand idle increases their up
keep.
Water is essential for all animals,
but bountiful supply is especially i'm
portant for young, growing animals.
1t is perhaps not surprising that the
value of skim milk for pigs on pas
ture seems to be lower than for pigs
in dry lot.
Colts should not be shut up In a
close. poorly ventilated barn; neither
should they be forced to endure all
kinds of weather outdoors. Good shell
ter saves feed and promotes the growth
necessary to develop big horses.

Hornsby Tops 400 Mark
for His Third Season

Rogers Hornsby, pilot Of the ST
Louis Cardinals, has taken his place
In the baseball hall of fame as one OF
a trio Of major league stars who, for
three years, finished the season with
batting average Of about 400.
Hornsby's mark for 1925 was .403,
which enabled him to join ranks with
Jesse Burkett, famous member of the
old Cleveland Nationals, and Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, fiery leader of the
Tigers.
Hornsby, In 1922, batted 401. In
1924 he established a modern high
mark Of .423. In 1923, although cham
pion of the National league, he hit
only .8S4.
Burkett made his marks In 1895,
1896 and $780, Cobb led his league in
1911 and 1912 with a mark above the
400 and finished above this figure In
1922 although not leading the league.
In addition to capturing the 1925
batting honors, Hornsby Is the home
run king Of the major leagues with 80
circuit blows. He also had the high
est total bases mark of $50.

KID Mccoy FULL
OF ODD TRICKS
Resorted to Questionable
IIeans to Win in Ring.

Conceding that nothing succeeds
like success, neither does anything
flop like tiop.
The stories of Kid McCoy's tricks
In the ring are standard classics be-
cause he got away with them. He'd
point to the floor and exclaim
Look T. and whale his opponent on
the unprotected jaw. The books say
that sullivan whipped some OF his pa
tients by outroaring them or glaring
them into panic while they were lac
ing on the gloves.
Here's the other side:
Two champions were down for no
decision, interclass bout which was to
be polka, with the understanding
that IL the public liked the number
they would take several encores.
When the act wore out they would
enter the ring for real fight or
shooting match.
The smaller champion decided, hoy
ever, that the big one was bunny
and made up his mind to throw a
fright into him.
Tell that big bum Of yours" he
phoned to the big champions mana
ger, that I'm going to shoot He can't
fight and I'm going to stop him."
You're making mistake tho
manager said, but II you don't want
to use blanks, thanks for telling US.
Wen shoot, too"
Before the sixth round the little
champion had been knocked out.
Another incident:
As large Bill Brennan stood facing
Luis Firpo just before the bell began
their fight In the Garden. he playfully
reached out, plucked a tuft OF fur
from Luis Angels chest, held his glove
tip up to his face and blew the fuxz
into Luis Angels eyes. II was very
insulting way to treat a Wild Bull.
Then large Bill remarked, "Moo-oo-
CO., insinuating that the Wild Bull
fought like Holstein COW.
In the twelfth round large Bill went
down so hard that 1t took two weeks
in hospital to get him In shape to
sit up In bed.

Mathewson and Johnson

Did you ever know that the late

bition games. Joplin is not far from
Coffeyville, Kans., and Coffeyville is
where Johnson lived 1t was agreed
that Johnson and Mathewson should
oppose each other. McGraw divided
his squad of players into two teams,
and the Big Train and Big Six went
at 1t.
Each pitcher was allowed to pick
his team They went inning after in
ming before practically the entire pop
ulation of Joplin and Coffeyville, with
no score. Matty's fade-aways against
Walters speed 1t was recorded that
Matty finally won by one-run score.
