 SPEED UP GAMES
President Barnard FaYors Shorter and Snappier Contests

St, Petersburg. Fla. March l9- lIp'-An edict calling for snappicr and shorter games issued to unpires by F. s. Barnard president of the American league. has been handed out in the vicinity of the Yankees camp here. Mir, Barnard is on d tour Of the American league camps 10 see how the arbiters are speeding up the play in exhibitions. Should Babe Ruth finger on the base line after being tossed out at first, he will be liable to q fine or hanlShlncnt under the baseball blue laWS,' which require player to re- turn to the bench promptly.
 The new code put forward 1t a recent meeting of the umpircS calls for the enforcement of several de- tails. the important ones being sum- med up as follows:
 Allow the pitcher to hold the ball only 20 seconds before delivering it to the batsman.
 Forhidding useless tossing of the ball to help discolor it or 10 help the pitcher recover his poise.
 Fines or banishmcnt from the field for managers or players who deliberately stall for time, either 10 allow neW pitcher time to warm 1lp or to force the calling of q game because of darkness or rain.
 If T pitcher holds the ball longer than 2o seconds. a ball will be call "l. Should a batter step out Of the battcr's box for any but q legitimate reason, strike will be called.
 Only one batter besides the man 1t the plate will be allowed 10 leave the dugout and after being retired. q player must return at once to the bench.
 Two hours of baseball is all the ordinary ian cares for" Mr. Barnard told the umpires. He wants 10 see q good ball game and get home 10 a warm supper. This isn't q twilight league. If the players don't exhibit t little snap on their own initiative. "" will sec 10 if that they do."
 Ut looks like we're going 10 be husler than prize fight rcferees,' the uhlpires say and this promises to be q good year for scraps"
 Incidentally, the umpires will dis card the olive drab uniforms and re- turn to the old blue serge.

STILL LEAD IN
 SPORT CIRCLES
Dempsey and 1ilden Outstanding
 Figures Of Today

i New York, March 19 Rt-They
 don't always come back. but it is difficult to keep from trying those who have once worn the purple robes of sport.
 Take Bill Tilden and Jack Demp- sey as examples. Each has known the satisfaction of ruling his parti- cular kingdom of sport for seV- en-yoar stretch. Both began to hit tho well known chutes in the same season, 1926. There is no question that Big Bill and Manassa Jack are well past the peak of their careers, yet each is slated for leading role ln this years athletic drama.
 Tilden. B., and with his future
 behind him, as he admits himself, is still the No. l American tennis star by \scVcral .llilomrters, tho captain and main hope of America's Davis cup campaign
 Dempsey, 35. and protestations Of his retirement to the contrary. still IS the outstanding challenger for the man who twice has whipped him, Gene Tunn"Y In fact, the oftener other contenderS appear in the ring the more convincing it is that the old Manass;l maulcr not only is the logical contender but the outstand- ing gate attraction of them all.
 In q year that will see Babe Ruth out for new home run laurels. Helen Wills complaining abroad. the plympics in full sway at Amsterdam and Bobby Jones meeting the chal- l"nge Of tn" rest of the golf pack the performances of Tilden and Dempsey will be among the most entertaining of all.
 In the peculiar fashion of tho boxing business the signs already are multiplying that Jack Dempsey will take one moro fling at Tunney and add at least another half-mil- lion To his haniroll
 The Chicago Tribune prints m item in which Dempsey is quoted as to q friend;
 This retirement talk is just q part Of the old ballyhoo." adding that Inc is going 10 New York around the first of April to talk with Ricl;qrd and arrange for q third bout witt, Gene.
 Meanwhile one of Dempsey's per sonal rcpreSc ntatiNcS' returns here from the Pacific coast with the inn prcSsion that Jack will hc in mood 10 talk fight when the proper time comes.
 "If there is anything tho matter with nempsey's eyes, says this gentleman, ''it was not apparent in the ease with which he determined from the Tijuana grands'and TO- gently that one of his thoroughbred | horses won his race by a nose"
 It isn't difficult, therefore. to sec why the experts, though always | more or less sl>cptical, feel certain | hat Dempsey will be back in the ring by September, at the latest.

USE OF COMBINE IN
MINNESOTA STUDIED

To five members of the staff of the
Minnesota Experiment Station has
been assigned the task of studying the
practicability of the combine harvest
er-thresher under Minnesota condi-
tions.
Just what effect the placing of hori-
zontal ventilators in bins has in
eliminating a relatively high percent
age of moisture in the grain will be
studied. The place of the windrOwer
in the combine method of harvesting
is another question before the COM
mitteemen. The windrower is a re-
cent development with most manu-
facturers. BY it's use the grain can
be dried out somewhat before it is
threshed by the combine. A study
also will be made to the effect of
green weed seeds on stored grain.
Because the method is new in our
conditions and is a decided departure
from the regular binder method of
harvesting, these new problems pre-
sent themselves. Probably the most
important is the condition of the grain
for storage, after it has been threshed.
If the grain is cut too early or if it
contains an excessive amount of green
weeds or weed seeds it is likely to
have a relatively high percentage of
moisture at threshing time, which
adds to the difficulty of keeping it in
storage.
The combine harvester-thresher is
new in Minnesota. 1t was first used
in 1927 when II Minnesota farmers
purchased machines. Many more
farmers have purchased them to use
in the 1928 harvest. The machines
used in this state are mostly of the
small size. averaging about a 10-foot
cut Some run as high as 12- or 16-
foot cut. They are great labor savers
and also reduce costs of harvesting
where the crop acreage is large
enough to warrant the investment. 1t
has been found that harvesting losses
by this system are usually much less
than by the old binder and thresher
method.
