The "hard time" party given last

are slim. Many wealthy men raise
good, registered stock AS hobby
but their work is great step to-
wards putting the cattlf business on
a sound, prcsftable bafs, ! 49,"
There is often much bjettion on
the part of commercial cattlemcn to
selecting the prize winners at the
big livestock shows, because of the
idea that the stock has been ''pam-
pered." However, the Snowman gets
his stock into fat "show copdi-
tion because that is his only way
of proving that the animals will
carry an even covering of meat. 1t
is his only way of showing how the
offspring from the show stock may
have the ideal thick rib and loin,
and the heavy headquarters.
AS matter of fact, the animal
which has had plenty of feed and
has been forced along from calf
days, develops constitution, vigor
and bone and flesh which would be
impossible under ordinary range or
pasture conditions. If you don't be-
licvc this, try to fattcn out calves
which have been stuntcd and which
have never had the advantage of de-
cent feed conditions.
Some good cowmcm object to the
thiek-sct, short-legged beef animals
which arc popular in today's show
rings, declaring their preference for
the longer-legged, big type of beef
animal. I
The short-logged type of beef ami
NAL might not be entirely satisfac-
tory under rough range conditions.
where stock must travel 40 or 50
miles from one water hole to an.
other, but the days of such range
operations are passing out of the
picture. The up.to-datc cattleman is
providing water through develop
ing new water holes or else through,
piping water to "A greater number of
places. or combining the animals TO
smaller areas where water is handy.
1t is no longer requisite of the
beef animal to be a. good traveller as
we'll as good feeder.
What the present day eowman
wants is the quick maturing type of
cattle, so that he can turn off his
calves and ycarlings into fecdlots,
where they will fattcn quickly into
prime beef. When feed goes into
legs and high backs, it does not go
into beef. Thus tho reason for the
present day show type.
1t would he interesting TO con
tras. what the judges of quarter
century ago considered good beef
type animals, as contrasted with the

but five hits. They punched two Of the
safeties. though. in the sixth session
for their scores.
The Nationals, too. got five hits. Only
one was made off Durham, but it was
followed by a pass and an error and
that meant the home sides lone tally.
The Nationals again took the field
with second-Stringers and rockies in
the lineup. Harley Boss and Charley
Gooch were used in the infield and Doc
Land, a newcomer from Gadsden, and
Red Barnes in the outfield. After

field in the ninth inning.
The Nationals were first to score.
With one out in the fourth inning, Rice
doubled and went to third as Barnes

wild, the ball going to center, so Rice
raced home.

There should be figures to indicate
the batting and pitching strength OF
the teams which are to meet in the
annual demonstration OF the strongest
in the national pastime. These ngures
seldom mean anything much, but the
base ball experts usually start COMPUTE
ing them when the pennant races are
over.
Instead, the spotlight seems to be
taken by news OF the coliege ioot
ball teams in training. What foot
bali teams do in training has less to
do with the ultimate results and the
selection of the All-America team
than the advance statistics on
world series. In training the news
depends upon the disposition of the
Coach, If it happens to be Cornell
the team is terrible. If it Is Yale
the team is fair and hopeful. II 1t
is Notre Dame the team Is great.
More and more the foot ball teams
seem to be adopting the methods OF
the professional base ball teams fer the
attainment Of ballyhoo. I note that an
increasing number Of the college foot
ball teams have gone into training
camps this season. New York Un1ver-
sity team not only went to q training
camp, but took its band with 1t.
understand that as a defensive measure
Carnegie Tech, a strong rival Of N. Y. u,
has ordered all the cheer leaders to
work out in secret at a camp near
Miami, Fla.
The training camp long has been
speciality of professional base ball. The
theory is that it was necessary to get
the athletes together in some sunny
cline after the long Winter lay-off in
order to get the kinks out Of the
muscles and that sort of thing.
But it always was my notion that
the base ball training camp largely was
for the purpose Of the advance bally-
hoo, q means Of exciting the minds Of
the customers so that they would be
ready to rush to the opening games.

in the campaign. Sam West, never
able to get going at bat, was relieved
of his garden post at times. Two

5-.. Little New Talent.
whether Washington will have bet
ter ball club next year is predetermined
There have been developed this season
such worthwhile infielders as Hayes,
Myer and Joe Cronin, but there was
no improvement noted in the young
outfielders and pitchers. The catch
ing staff still looms strong as far as
catching goes. There's little punch
in it, however. And little new talent
In fact. outside of those who have
been with the club all season or the
greater part of it, there are but ten
players on the Nationals reserve list
for 1880. Two are players recalled from
farms, Cliff Bolton, a young catcher
who worked with New Haven Of the
Eastern League, and Paul Mccullough,
a pitcher who failed to make good as
a major Lacquer before the Nationals
farmed him to Birmingham.
The eight others are Buck Freeman,
who played outfield with the st. Mary
Celtics of Alexandria the past Summer;
Al Powell, a young outfielder who this
year was with the Takoma Tigers; Doc
Land, outfielder bought from Gadsden
Of the Georgia Alabama League; George
Loepp, outflelder procured from Balti-
more; Harold Heidelbach, pitcher
bought from Gadsden; Carlos Moore,
pitcher bought from Birmingham; Ed
pitcher taken from college
ranks, and Jim Mcleod, shortstop pro-
cured from Little Rock.
And President Clark Griffith hopes
to pick up a likely player or two in
the draft in Chicago today. It is hoped
he will be successful. The Nationals
need some rebuilding and it will be
we'll to have some new talent around.

7 rs all over. And the Nationals fin
ished their season as they started
1t by taking a licking. This time it
4 was the Red Sox that did the lick
ing. The Hubmen scored their
second successive victory over Johnsons
charges in Griffith Stadium yesterday,
2 to 1, to sweep the short series.
Before the season finished Sam Rice
managed to register his 200th hit OF the
year. He made it in the sixth inning,
singing through the box to center field.
Sam had made his 199th hit In the
fourth frame, a sound double to center.
And before the season finished, Nick
Altrock stepped from the coaching to
the playing ranks and put himself at
the top of the American League batters.
Nick picked up Rices bat in the eighth
inning and whacked clean single to
left field. One game, one time at bat
and one hit is Nick's record for the
year.
Ad Liska and Ed Durham were OPP
posing fingers. at the outset of HOSTILE
ties. Liska went the route, but Durham,
after toiling six innings for the Red
Sox, turned the task over to Pat
Simmons. Liska pitched well in his
