GUY BUSH PLANS
TO REFORM SELF
Will Quit Easing Up at Soft
Spots in Pitching.

Guy Bush, more widely known as
Joe, and sometimes referred to as
mississippi Abe" is going to re-
form.
This information, however, isn't
anything that will change his habits
of living, for Joe adheres rlgidly 10
all training rules and always gets
TO bed early.
In fact, Joe's self-made training
rules leave nothing for a manager to
desire. Still Joe says he's going to
reform, writes Ronald Mcintyre liz
the Chicago Journal. And he doesn't
mean that he's going to quit selling
bonds. his manner of making a liv-
ing between baseball seasons. Joe
says he's going to institute the re-
forms in his methods of pitching.
Heretofore Joe has had habit Of
easing up when he thought he had
soft spot in an opposing batting
order Possessed of excellent speed
and a good curve, Joe always was
trying to develop a slow bah that
would make him one of the outstand-
ing pitchers In the league.
Now it was perfectly all right for
Joe to work on his slow ball but
there were times when he was pitch
ing last season when he would have
been much better off if be had post
pOned his experimenting until the
morning practice of the next day.
Any number of instances might be
cited to show that Joe used poor
judgment when he eased up last sea-
son. One day, in particular, the Cubs
were playing Brooklyn and Jess Pet
~ was pitching against Bush. The
Cubs had a one or two run lead and
there were two out and two on when
Petty strobe to the plate. Bush didn't
bear down as he had been doing and
a single to right resulted and the
score was tied. Later in the game,
other run and the ball game went to
Brooklyn.
Now Joe has been hearing of the
trials and misfortunes that Dazzy
Vance had getting established as
about the best right handler in base
ball. He has heard tell of how Vance
toured the minors for years until he
learned that his only trouble was that
he was looking for soft spots in the
lineup where he could slow up
little. Dazzy found out that he rad
to bear down" all the time and when
he did he became almost unbeatable
And so-Joe Bush is going to
reform.

Sweet clover improves the soil so

Hard to Set Limit to
Height of Buildings

One-hundred-story skyscrapers will
be as common in the city of the future
as the twenty-story building is today,
according TO DR.. George A. Bole of
Ohio State university. His prophecy
is based partly on the development of
q new kind of brick, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. 1t weighs only one
sixth as much has the usual varieties,
but is said to have greater strength
and tire-resisting qualities. Ordinary
brick weighs 40 pounds to the cubic
foot.
The improved form weighs but 20
pounds TO the cubic foot. The new
tile will defy a temperature of $3.50
degrees for 10 hours, according to re-
ports. Because of its Iightness and
strength this material will permit
higher buildings with more pyramid
ing, thinner walls and therefore less
bulk, so that space will be saved for
practical uses.

Pitcher Carroll Struck
Out Four in One Inning

p. Owen Carroll, who led the De

achieved a distinction while pitching
for Toronto that few pitchers in pro-
fessional baseball win.

without accident and cut the third
strike over on the third batter. But
his catcher permitted the ball to roll
away with the remark: That's all
right; we'll get the next one"
Carroll bore down on the fourth
batter and struck him out. too.

Poisoned Bait Controls
CutWorm Appearing Early

Poisoned bait has been used with
success in the control of cutworms on
corn land. The formula for the poi
son mash is as follows: Wheat bran,
90 pounds; paris green or crude ar
senic. two pounds; black-strap mo-
lasses, two quarts; water. one gallon,
or more as needed The mash should
be mixed thoroughly together in a
dry state and then the molasses
should be added and stirred in. This
poison mash should be broadcast over
the field, taking care to sprinkle it
sparingly around the hills. The poi
son for the cutworms should be put
out as soon as the corn begins to ap-
pear above the ground so that the
worms may be killed as quickly as
possible.

To Trap Bombing Planes

Captive balloons, bearing nets of
piano wire that hang down as invisible
barriers for night travelling airplanes,
have been proposed as a means of
curbing bomb attacks under darkness,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Afioat at an altitude of 1000 feet or
so. a number of these trap-bearing
|, balloons would form serious obstacle
to the bombing planes, which must fly
comparatively low and are operated
chiefly on very dark nights when they
are not so likely to be seen. Big fms,
holding gas, keep the balloons afioat,
and what appears to be huge eye in
each bag. is the valve for the gas.
