like the great Lefty since 1921,
That is, during the first four
months of each season.
Groves record of Is victories
against only two losses up to the
middle of July this year stands
alone when the work of the
pitchers of years back is un-
folded.
Faber Comes Near
The only moundsman who has
ever come near Lefty's record is
Reds Faher, the Spit-ball artist,
still with the Chicago White Sox.
Reds, in 1921, hung up a record
of 19 victories against only six
losses up to July Is.
Still, it's brilliant record for
the Red, who was pitching then
when the name of Grove meant
nothing.
The outstanding factor in
Groves work this year is the
fact that Robert Moses has
been able to participate in many
more games than the 10 which
form the figures of his record.
In other words, while gaining
his 18 triumphs, Grove has
worked in countless others.
maybe two or three times a week,
as a relief man. It is this fact
which stamps him the great
pitcher he is. There have been
few during the last 10 years who
have possessed the stamina of the
same Robert Moses. Fred Mar
berry alone comes to mind.
Outside Of Faber, few pitchers
have reached the 18 mark in vic
tories during the first half Of the
season.
II triumphS to his credit at the
end of the first half. He was
then a member Of the New York
Yankees. Rommel Of the AS and
the late Urban Shocker, then
with st. Louis. tied with 13 as
the leading American League
pitchers of that year. Dutch
Ruether, with the Brooklyn Dodg
erS, the temperamental fellow
who later joined the Griffmen,
was the leading National League
hurler that year, with IA wins at
the turn.

SAYS GIANTS
WILL CAUSE
TROUBLE
BY BABE RUTH

NEW YORK, July Is. Before
the season started, named
Brooklyn as the team that would
win the National League pennant.
The Robins started out badly, and
I got a number Of letters kidding
me for my choice. Then, when
the season was about a month
along, I picked what l thought
would be the order Of finish for
all major league clubs and, again,
I insisted that l had not changed
my mind in regard to Brooklyn.
Early in June, in an article
about the way the teams were
going, I again said some nice
things about the Robins as likely
to break loose at any time and
cause those teams out in front
all kinds of worry. 1t seemed
that every time I mentioned
Brooklyn, the letter-writers got
busy to give me the laugh.
These letters, I presume. were
from fans roofing for the Cardi-
mails, Giants, or Cubs. AS a
great number came from New
York, I concluded they were writ
ten by red-hot Giant sympa-
thizers. and some of them, ap-
parently, took kind words for
Brooklyn as a slam at the Giants.
They were wrong there. Both
McGraw and Robbie are good
friends Of mine and wish
both a lot of success, but
figured, at the start of the sea-
son, that Brooklyn was a bit
stronger, due to the deal for
O'DOul and Thompson, and to
pitching, which 1 felt would be
Steadier.
At any rate, I took quite
little good-natured panning for
what I said about the Robins, and
then suddenly the Brooklyn team
began to win. Naturally I had
my opportunity to smile. It really
was no surprise that the Robins
have come through with their
recent successes. The surprise
was that they did not get going
earlier.
Expects Giants to Squirt
So I say again that I still be-
lieve the Robins will be out in
front when the National League
pennant race ends late in Sep
tember. Here is another pre-
diction. In spite Of the trou-
bleS the Giants have been having
1 expect them to make a squirt
soon and I expect to see them
all alone in first place one Of
these days.
In the American League the
complexion of the race has turned
very strongly ward Connie
Mack's world champions since l
last discussed the chances Of the
teams. The Senators, after
noble chase, have fallen back and
the ---ankees have not been able
to cut down any Of the big lead
which the AS built up while we
were going so poorly.
With the race half over there
Is no denying that it looks
like the AS.
The Senators still have
chance and so have the Yankees.
Our club has not given up hope
of winning and we hustle every
day because there is no telling
when the teams ahead may hit
a slump. We had bigger lead
over the AS in early July three
year ago and they passed us in
September, so we have some re-
cent history to remind us that
we are not out of the pennant
race.
Then again. the Indians are
close enough behind us to keep
us hustling anyway. and the Sen
ators are near enough in front
to be overtaken in a short time,
even if we can't catch the AS.

HEAVY AUTO TAX is
PART OF CAR UPKEEP.

Motor vehicle and gas taxes are not
a tax in the ordinary meaning of that
word, but they are a part of the cost
of operating the vehicle, G. M. Bah
cock, Minnesota commissioner of high
ways said in commenting on widely
published statements purporting to
show that automobiles are taxed more
heavily than other classes of property.
Every Transport system must have
two things, vehicles and a place to
move them" said MIR. Babcock. 10
comotives and cars are useless to
railroad company unless it has ade-
quate tracks and terminals An auto
mobile is of no value without roads
The only difference between the rail-
road and the automobile owner is that
the railroad builds its own roadway,
but the state acts as an agent for the
automobile owners, builds roads for
them and collects the cost from them
1.-The cost is collected in two ways.
The license fee is a 'ready-to-serve'
charge similar to the service charge
made by public utilities companies.
The gasoline tax is a metered road toll
It is in no sense tax on the motor
fuel industry, nor is it tax for or
binary government purposes. It is a
definite, fair, and convenient method
of paying road-rent according to the
amount of driving we do.

At this time of year many farm
wives report sick chickens. As a gen.
eral thing, no attempt is made to de-
termine what particular disease the
birds have. Some say they are
"droopy," others say they have a
"diarrhea;" still others describe the
trouble as lameness or by innumerable
other names. It is seldom that the
owner opens bird to see what Is
actually the trouble. NO ONE, how
ever expert, can erpect to recognize
the disease by simply walking among
the birds and observing their appear
ance. Sometimes this is possible in
such diseases as roup, when the eyes
swell, but usually the examination Of
dead bird is necessary.
Most farm wives, or husbands for
that matter, don't like to open dead
bird-they think it's too MESSY. The
University sends out thousands of
poultry disease bulletins with pictures
of the various diseases, but unless one
opens bird the trouble will go un-
recognized. Open one or two and
check with your bulletin, or get in
touch with the local veterinarian or
county agent Surely they know more
about poultry diseases than the ped
dler who may have been selling pianos
the week before he got the job selling
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1931-09-11
chicken medicines.

chicken medicines.
Get this straight-there isn't any,
thing that comes in bottle, as a
liquid, pill or powder, that will cure
the common diseases such as cholera,
tuberculosis, white dirrhea, blackhead
or coccidiosis. There seems to be a
notion that when birds get "droopy"
something must be dissolved in the
drinking water. If it colors the water
red or green or purple, so much the
better for the sale of the article-it's
the color that counts Drinking water
treatment is usually worse than use
less for many times flock owners have
birds suffering from roup, tubercul-
osis or worms and think that medi-
eating the water will bring good re-
suits.
These medicines are worse than a
waste of time and money. The owner
reads the guarantee on the bottle, or
that given by the salesman, and
blindly believes the statements MADE.
Far worse is the fact that he DOES
NOT DO THE NECESSARY THINGS
that will actually help. Then, too, he
will never see the saleman again, so
what good is the guarantee?
The University of Minnesota does
not now or ever recommend cure-alls.
There are few or no cures for the COM
mon diseases of poultry In most
cases, if RECOGNIZED early, steps
can be taken to stop further losses.
Medicines are not resorted to in
tuberculosis, cholera, white diarrhea
or blackhead. Worms of course can
be removed with the proper drug but
only after serious damage has been
done to the flock.
The FIRST REQUIREMENT in con-
trolling chicken diseases is to find out
what the disease is. Don't depend up
on some itinerant peddler for your ex-
pert advice. Consult your local veter-
marian. He lives with you and can
be trusted to help you to the best of
his ability. If he is not available, see
your county agent He isn't an oracle
but at least he has had some training
in the recognition of the more common
diseases.
IF you can secure this help and get
the proper advice you will make pro-
gress. If, however, you let some
handsome, talkative they are
very free in that respect stranger sell
you package of guaranteed cureall,
you have no one to blame but yourself.
A guarantee, unless backed up, is
worthless.

MUST STOP 1T.

Editor The Ely Miner:
There are few young rascals in
this city who think it smart and great
fun to break fences and fruit trees in
an effort to steal little fruit and
vegetables that some one else has
worked hard for. There are not many
of that kind but those have a bad
influence on others and give a bad
name to the neighborhood they live in.
The little fruit raise is for the pur-
pose OF showing what can be done in
that line in and around Ely and for
that reason is more appreciated than
it's market value at the stores.
The conduct of these rascals comes
under the class of maliscious mischief.
If they don't stop it some parents will
be invited to visit the juvenile court
and bring their offspring with them
and that won't be either smart, funny
or nice.

Of these taxes, as long as they are
used for road purposes, and expended
honestly and efficiently. The man
who owns a car gets his money back
with big dividends in the form of re-
duced operating costs and greater and
more dependable use of his car. The
man who does not own car does not
pay either license fee nor gas tax
The automobile and gasoline and al
lied industries have grown and pros
pered since good roads made the auto
mobile universal utility, so they have
no cause for complaint
''Of course there is limit beyond
which these taxes should not go, but
