in the Webster gymnasium yesterday
to score a decisive victory 81 to ~
National Park hoped into an early
lead and was leading 1916 at the end

lead TO t4-6 early in the second period,
the seminary passers seemed well on
the road to victory, but Webster pulled
up even with them before half time.
Led by Katherine Wilson and Amelia

ball into the basket six times to the

them a margin which National Park
was unable to overcome.
Dorothy Farwell, National Park

This ranking was submitted to the

The issue then remained in abey-

association at Philadelphia last Satur-
day. when a resolution eliminating
professional tennis players from the
1927 ranking list was introduced.
1t was carried on proxy vote, not
by New York and New England dele
gates. who cast their votes in favor of
Richards ami the other pros, but by
the votes of edelgates from the South,
the Middle West and the Pacific Coast.
The attitude of the New York dele
gates may have been due to the fact
the New York State Association had
already ratified a State ranking in
which Richards stood No. l, and could
not consistently go back on this action.
AS to the New Englanders, who are

GRASS FOR SWINE

Grass, some variety of which can
be produced on most every farm, is
the cheapest feed for hogs, according
to E. 2. Russell, swine specialist OF
the Bureau of Animal Industry, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
Alfalfa is the best hog pasture and
red clover is a close second, while all
clovers are good. Some tanners
probably cannot arrange permanent
pastures, but many different tempo
rary pastures may be provided; rye,
rape, soybeans, cowpeas and oats are
all good. When hogs are on pasture
practically all the manure is saved,
whereas when they are in dry lot
some is unavoidably wasted,
