To-Day's Sport P a r a d e
BY HENRY NfcLEMORE United Press Stan CorrespOndcn

United Press Stan Correspondent.
 New York, Sept S-UPL)-Be- ing one of those inartistic souls who would rather watch an ele- phant do the rhumba in a china shop than a. gazelle leap lightly from crag to crag 1t is only na- tural that our favorite athletes should be those who perform their deeds in a spectacular manner.
 Of course, our list of favorites Is not entirely devoid of players who worked with grace and perfection of form, for some of our most breath-taking athletes have been flawless technicians. Bill TIL den, Lewis Lacey. Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey for example. But these men are exceptions. Nine times out of 10 perfection means monotony. Bob Jones' Helen Wills Moody, Gene Tunney and Tommy Hitchcock are of this school.
 The latest addition to our roll of honor is Berkeley Bell of the Texas Bells. There are dozens of men in tennis who will whip Bell more often than he will trim them, but we'd rather watch the tumbling Texan in action than any other six racqueteers you can name.
 What has Bell got that makes him such a WOW to watch? We'll, there's his tremendous fighting heart for one thing. The man never knows when he is licked and as a result he is liable to up and whip anybody. Last year this never-say- die spirit carried him to a first round victory over Jean Borotra of France. Only yesterday it enabled him to eliminate Will mer Allison. Half the players Bell defeats are better than he is, but the doughty Texan won't admit 1t.
 But the thing that makes Bell worth anybody's money is his mag nificent disregard of form. Nobody ever will describe his technique and movement about the court as poetry of motion. Particularly fas- cinating is his forehand drive, a stroke that is executed after the manner of an angry man beating carpet. He doesn't stroke the ball; he flogs it.
 Out of Order
 Bells favorite shot Is something yO0 CoAi sAAO oAN4A6 'Ne~SS' He comes charging itno the short court. loses his balance, plunges toward the net head foremost, and stabs at the ball while in ful flight. The remarkable thing about this performance is that it earns Bell plenty of points.
 Bell is the Hack Wilson of ten his, in so far as ability to get his clothes dirty is concerned. If you have ever seen Hack in that grimy suit of his, then you have pretty fair idea of how Bell looks after a hard match. He digs more divots than a duffer at golf.
 Who remembers the days of mild-mannered, Lord Fauntleroy tennis galleries? The boys and girls boo every other decision now, and they even went so far as to throw cushions on the court at Forest Hills yesterday.

The recent Agricural Outlook issued
BY The University OF Maryland states
that Maryland farmers may reason
able expect this year, lower produc-
ton costs, tendency toward improv-
ed market demand and a greater sta
bility of prices in 1881. During 1880
the decrease in value of Maryland
Farm Crops was IS per cent, The 1881
farm income of Maryland is not ex-
pected to show very much improve
ment.
Wheat-Little hope for better prices
during 1881. Grain might be profit
ably used in livestock feed.
Corn-Some increase in price likely
until 1881 crop is harvested. Begin
ming November LIST price likely to be
somewhat lower than during present
season.
Eggs-Improved price expected last
half of year and should show normal
seasonal rises but will probably not
reach high PEAKS of recent years.
Poultry-Should show gradual rise
