4 series of games to be played off on successive Sundays between the Sacred Hearts, the Burritts and the Holy Cross baseball clubs, was arranged last night at a meeting of the managers at the Republican A. (. Headquarters. Because of the large folloWings of the three out fits, the series should be productive of some great battles for the next few weeks.
 The Sacred Hearts and the Bur ritts will clash in the fnst game to be played next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Washington Park diamond. The two clubs are hot rivals and a bitter battle is expected to result when they clash.
 A week from Sunday, the Burritts and the Holy Cross teams will play in the second game. This means an- other torrid scrap because of the red hot feeling between the membrs of both clubs.
 Howver, two weeks from Sunday. the most interesting battle of all will take place when the Sacred Hearts and the Holy Cross teams meet. No more bitter baseball rivals ever existed in this city than these two clubs. The members of the team argue it out on the street, in their homes and everywhere they meet. They will Have a chance to settle the dispute on the diamond.
 The teams will all probably play two rounds with a playoff sched- uled if any of them are tied at the end of the series.

YACHT THISBE READY FOR
 THIRD RACE IN SERIES
Defending Craft Equipped With a New Mast and Spreader for
 Trials Again Today.

Rochester, N. Y, Aug. 13 LP;- With new mast and new spreader in place of the broken one that Thisbe was ready today for the third race in the series for possession of the coveted Canada's cup.
 The challenging quest of the Royal Canadian Yacht club made it one all when she crossed the finishing line Of the 2 mile triangular course yes terday in 3:24:34. Thisbe was fore ed, owing to the broken spreadcr, to drop out.
 So far the eight metre yachts have had little opportunity to give their crews a chance to bring out the best in them. Mondays and yesterdays races took their place in a breeze that made the contests rough and tumble affairs with strong arm handling the only tactic that could be employed.
 An s mile windward and leeward course faces the Thisbe and Quest today with no letup in the breeze predicted.
 Skipper William P. Barrows Of Thisbe fearful that the old mast was subjected 10 strain yesterday when the spreader broke, making the craft pitch and toss in the trough of the waves, replaced the spar with a spare one from the Conewaga, one of the cup defense candidates.

BROOKLYN FACES <
 ST|FFEST TEST
Robins Reach Important Cross
 roads in Pennant Race

Chicago, Aug. 13 UP)-The Brooklyn Robins, enigma of the Na- tional league, have reached an inn portant crossroads in their attempt ed march to the 1880 pennant.
 With five consecutive defeats be- hind them and three games with the league leading Chicago Cubs ahead the Robins are facing the all important test of their worth as championship contenders.
 A victory over the Cubs today would enable Brooklyn 10 regain tie for first place and probably would give them the confidence needed to carry them through to the pennant.
 A defeat will put the Robins two games behind the Cubs-the larg- est margin by which they have been month of the mpaign-and in the opinion of baseball critics would put an end to Brooklyn's championship dreams.
 On paper. the Robins do not rate as a first division ball club and their sustained success has been the surprise of the major league cam paign. Ever since the Robins at tained the lead, early in June. rival managers have been predicting that they would slump. but Man ager Wilbert Robinson has kept his ot to~ they had not lost more than four games in a row at any time during the season.
 The Robins dropped the first con- test of their crucial four-game series with the Cubs yesterday when Sheriff Fred Blake bestnd Dazzy Vance, to 2. in an Hin ming pitching duel. Vance pitched great ball and deserved a victory. the Cubs making their only earned run of the game in the eleventh in ming when Stephenson singled after singles by English and Cuyler and a walk to Hack Wilson loaded the bases.
 Two errors by Jake Flowers gave the Cubs their first two runs in the opening inning and although the Robins pounded Blake for 12 hitc. he received sensational support anl Brooklyn was unable to overcome the handicap.
 It was the second time in as many days that the Robins threw away ] game which they should have won. The strain of setting the pace ap- parently is beginning to affect the Brooklyn players and a sixth con- secutive defeat in today's game and their 18th loss in 17 starts against the Cubs this year-woul1 be greatly accepted as evidence that the Robins have cracked"
 Manager Robinson refuses to be- leve his team has "cracked" anl predicted that they would earn at : least an even break in the series with the Cubs.
 We've had more than our share of bad breaks during the past week." said Robinson. "Vance de- served to win yesterday but lucI; vas against him. I'm counting on | Phelps, Luque and Thurston to stop the Cubs in the remaining games. "I have two fine left handlers n Clark and Elliott but they never did have much against the Cubs anl prefer to take my chances with the right handlers. We've got enough good ones to stop McCar- thy's men, but we've got to have d | few breaks. We didn't get them yesterday"

During this time they com bined 10 get only four hits. The fielding of both clubs during this period was sensational and not an error was made.
 Schuster was on the mound for the losers and Spencer did the hurl- ing for the winners. Each was in remarkable form during the first six innings moving down the opposition almost in order.
 In the last half of the seventh the Rulers reached Schuster for three solid hits. These, coupled with felder's choice, gave them d trio of runs.
 In the following inning the win ners combined three more hits to give them two more runs. In the meantime. Spencer retained the same form that he showed during the early part of the game. The Workers were able to collect only three hits off his delivery.
 For the first six innings the pitchers had the batters completely at their mercy and were given per feet support. In the first two in nings the Rulers got two men on base but they were stranded.

Learn to Use Your County Assn,

! Learn to Use Your County Agent + would seem that there are many l farmers in the county who do not | know that the county agent is here to help them. Only last week an in. cident occurred which is worth while using as an example Co show of one | instance where a farmer. by using his County Agent. might have saved him. l self over a thousand dollars.
 When visiting a farm in the county farmer gave me a long story about the hard luck he had had with his cows last month Mammitis or garget had started in his herd in the early part of the summer and spread from one COW to another and as a consequence two of these cows died and three had tO be sold for beef. The cows were ex eellent In production up until this time and the farmer had paid more than s2p0 apiece for them the previous year. If he had called up the County Agent at the time that the garget or mammitis had started in his herd feel sure that the use of Formald ehvde in this case would have at least cut down his losses very materially and if it had eut down ali these losses t would have meant that the farmer would have saved over sl 000 In val ue Of cows as well as extra milk that he would have sold during this period
 l do not mean by this chat l ann Veterinarian or capable Of nrcscrih- ing for all Illnesses of cows but there are specific instances such as this above mentioned case in which l could have been helpful. \ telephone call or postal card would have brought nc Co that farm within two or hrec days You'd f have been worth while fer the farmer Co have called?

There may be great many things on which l cannot give you immediate in ormation but l have at my disposal all of the information held by the College. the Agricultural Experiment Station, and the United States depart ment of Agriculture lt wou seem that with these three sources back of me that information could be sup piled on most all agricultural prob. lens
