"FARM" IDEA
 IS BORROWED
Brownies Take Hunch from Nearby Cardinals for
 Development

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-The St. Louis Cardinals farm system for developing young players, which has brought three National league pennants and one worlds cham pionship to the Mound City in five seasons, may soon have neigh borly rival.
 Taking leaf from the book of Messrs. eadon, Hickey and Street, that well-known sportsman, Phil Ball, turned agrarian.
 With floods here and drought there it has taken him a good while to prepare a couple or likely tracts for the Brownies but there is evidence that the long-awaited bumper harvest is finally at hand
 In a recent home stay of 24 games the Browns astounded the experts, the customers and pos sibly themselves by winning 16 for a percentage of .667, boosting themselves well out of the cellar.
 Among their victims were the league leading Athletics, who drop ped four out of five, the second- place Senators, who lost two out of three, and the third-place Yan- kees, who emerged on the short end three times in a five-game series.
 George Blaeholder who set the Washington outfit back on their heels with a two-hit hurling per- formance, came up from Tulsa, formerly one of MT. Balls estates Other Browns to clout or toss their way out of the brush and make good include Larry Bettencourt, Jack Burns, Jim Levey, Ralph Kress, Chad Kimsey and Wallace Hebert.
 Promising young men from the minors make up 50 per cent of the 1881 squad, with Milwaukee in the American association and Wichita Falls in the Texas league principal sources of supply.

The players say that the veteran has been more effective since he hurt his wrist than before, for the peculiar reasons that it has forced him to adopt somewhat differ ent style of delivery and more baffling one.

Gabby's Choice Harder.

Gabby Streets opening selection may not be quite so easy, for he has had no standout among his re- liable regulars.
 Burleigh Grimes undoubtedly will clamor for return bout with Grove. He dropped two close de- cisions to the Mackmen last year. If he is right, the law of averages should be in his favor, but it takes something besides that to tame the big bats of the As.
 This might be the occasion for Street to pull a surprise by as- signing his younger star, Paul Der ringer, to pitch the opening game. Derringer has had a great first year and one of the keenest of National league, observers told me recently the ex-Rochester star was one of the most puzzling twirlers to face for the first time. "Derringer," he remarked, "has a most deceptive delivery. Vhe batsman doesn't know where the ball is coming from until it's on 1 top of him. This is due to Der ringers peculiar style.
 He wraps himself up and let's go of the ball before you know it It may be sidearm, overland of underhand He will bother any team that he faces for the first time, including the As"

TO DOG AND SHEEP OWNERS
/: OF MORGAN COUNTY

There has been great deal writ
ten in regard to the enforcement of
law of the game and OF the prohi-
bition law, SO thought it was time
,, something was being said in regard
to the dog law. There seems to be
quite misunderstanding about it,
especially about the dogs wearing
their collars and tags, for about one
half the dogs 1 see over the county
are not wearing their collars and:
tags. 1t is just as necessary for the
dogs to wear their collars and tags
as for automobiles to have tags on
them, and the penalty is the same
dogs must be kept tied or inclosed
for each offense. The law says all
from sunset to sunrise, but as I pass
along the highways at night I see.

If these dogs were taken care of
at night, the sheep killing in Nor

often happens to drive them away,
and only one or two are killed. The

thought If dog owners knew this,
they would surely be more careful
with their dogs.
would like every dog owner to
read the back of the yellow slip they
get with their dog tag, and in case
of every stray dog which comes to
their premises, to call the dog war
den, and tie the dog up till the
warden can get them. The law fur
ther prescribes under Sec. 5652-14a
that it shall be unlawful for the
owner, keeper or harborer of any fe
male dog, to permit such female dog
to go beyond the premises Of such
owner or keeper at any time such
dog is in heat, unless such female
dog is properly in leash.
Whoever fails to comply with the
above section of law shall be liable
to a fine of not less than ten dollars,
nor more than twenty-five dollars.
Tags must be purchased not later
than January Goth, to avoid paying
the penalty of one dollar ($1.00).
