CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-some Of
Charles A. Comiskey's last criti'
cisms Of modern baseball, it was
recalled upon his death today,
were contained in a copyright
article he wrote for international
News Service on the eve Of the
1881 World Series.
'T don't like the modern
game as well as the game of
two or three decades ago." he
wrote. '"The science has been
taken out of it. Baseball today
is more or less q Slam-bang
affair. Nowadays the quick
thinking, brainy player is
eclipsed by the fellow who can
lambast one over the fence.
"TOO many home runs
that's the trouble. They are
cheap home runs. Everybody
hits them. The muscle man
is king. One run doesn't mean
anything any mOre-the scores
must be collected in buncheS."

WAS BLOW To.
COM|SKEY

Charles A. Comiskey's death to-
day in Eagle River, Wis, termi,
mated one of the longest and most
picturesque careers in the history
of baseball. He was the only
player ever to rise to position
of sole ownership of a major
league club. Throughout the base
ball world and to his numerous
friends he was known as the "Old
Roman"
His interest in the national pas
time stretches back to the days
when he was teamster Of brick
wagon as a boy Of 16. Even against
the admonition Of his parents, he
pursued his beloved sport until the
last.
He was born in Chicago on Aug
ust is, 1859. AS a lad he spent
much of his leisure time in play
ing baseball with his neighborhoo ood
playmates. Once he deserted his
brick wagon to pitch in a sandlot
contest. His father discovered him
neglecting his work and gave him
O severe reprimand. From that
point on, he was definitely con-
verted to a baseball career.
His first baseball job was
with the Milwaukee Alerts as
third baseman at a salary Of
$50 o week. He played success
Sively with teams representing
Elgin, ILL.,, and Dubuque, Iowa,
and I'm 1883 he made his debut
with the st. Louis Browns.
Shortly thereafter his success
won for him the managership of
the st. Louis team and, under his
guidance the club won the Amer
ican Association pennant for four
consecutive years.
Launched American League
In 1890 Comiskey assumed man.
agement Of the Chicago club in
the new players league. A year
later found him back with the
st. Louis Browns and from there
he went to the Cincinnati Reds
as manager. In Cincinnati he
met Byron Bancroft johnson,
then a newspaperman, and the
two men launched the movement
which eventuated in the birth of
the American League.
Comiskey and johnson first
ventured into the Western League.
Comiskey organized the st. Paul
club Of that circuit in 1895 and
took over the teams manage
ment. The club was moved to
Chicago two years later and be-
came the Chicago White Sox,
with Comiskey as president and
owner, when the American League
was organized in 1900.
In the early years of the
American League, COmiSkey and
Johnson tOiIed together to
shape the circuit into the or.
ganizatiOn it is today. Later,
however, their friendship turned
into bitter enmity.
The heaviest blow ever sus-
tanned by Comiskey was the
BLACK Sox" incident in 1919
when players on the strongest
team he ever assembled threw
the world series to Cincinnati.
He baniShed seven of his stars
and began rebuilding his club.
but the "Old Roman" never fully
recovered from the shock and
his health began a gradual de-
cline.

Kelly, of Dubuque, Iowa, in 1882.

Aver Sweet Glover Will
Keep White GrubS Away

Right alongside of the old sayings
that an ''apple a day keeps the doctor
away" and it's parody San onion day
keeps everybody away" there is to be
added another-"sweet clover hay
ebay used for rhyming only) keeps
white grubs away"
That is what L. F. GRADER of the
agronomy staff of the Wisconsin Col
Iege of Agriculture told visitors to the
Farm and Home week. What he pro-
posed was not to use sweet clover for
hay but for pasture because it has
been found that where sweet clover
and, to some extent, red clover is
growing by itself in thick sands or
in blue grass, the grubs are generally
scarce, while right in nearby June
grass or timothy sod they may be
present at the rate of 100000 to 40O,-
600 per acre.
This, of course, brings back the idea
of growing sweet clover and red clover
in blue grass without blowing the sod
"a matter which has been discussed
pro and con for some time in the agri-
cultural press, declared GRADER. This
means of course the lining of pasture
lands that are too sour for these
clovers and often this lining needs to
be done a year in advance of seeding
in the pastures. On poor lands it may
also mean phosphate.

Feeding Cow According
to Production Favored

The low prices of dairy products
makes it more than ever necessary for
dairymen to feed and manage their
herd with care in order to find profit
able market for feeds, states e. A.
Cannon, Purdue university.
The first step in meeting the present
situation is to feed properly. Each
COW should have balanced ration.
based on her individual production.
The roughages available will deter
mine the grain mixtures to be fed in
order to balance the ration. Where
legume roughages are available, a
grain mixture containing 10 per cent
digestible crude protein will be found
satisfactory. Where legume roughages
and silage are fed, the grain mixture
should contain IA per cent digestible
crude protein. With mixed roughages
the per cent should be increased to Is.
Where rOughages such as timothy hay.
straw and corn fodder are fed the
grain mixture should contain IS to %
per cent digestible crude protein.

Crop Rotations
Aid to Alfalfa
Progressive Farmers Plan to
Let Good Stand Re-
main Six Years.

Crop rotations which permit good
stand of alfalfa to remain longer than
two years are being developed by pro-
gressive farmers of the state, accord
ing to T. G. Stewart, extension agrOn-
omist at the Colorado Agricultural
college.
Many are planning rotations in
which alfalfa is allowed to remain for
perhaps five or six years. If planned
according TO some systems, five or
six years Of alfalfa, together with
four or five other crops makes a 10
or IL year rotation. Such system
provides more alfalfa than is desired
and too little of cash and feed crops.
Stewart points out
Plan for 1eo-Acre Farm.
A simpler plan for a 160-acre farm
having a 10-acre farmstead, would in
clude so acres of alfalfa, allowed to
remain five or six years if satisfac-
tory hay yields are obtained The re-
naming 100 acres can be divided into
four fields of % acres each and ro-
tated with corn, followed by sugar
beets, and then barley as nurse crop
for red clover. seed crop of red
be secured from the fourth field each
year after the rotation is under way.
A 25-acre field of alfalfa can be
brought into the rotation as occasion
demands by seeding the barley field to
alfalfa instead of red clover. The %
acre strip of old alfalfa is then fall
plowed. The red clover crop cannot
be included during the two years re-
Quired to change the location of the
80 acres of alfalfa, but the original
plan can be revived as soon as the
change is completed.
Potatoes, vine crops or small grain
may be substituted for all or part
of the corn acreage in some districts,
Stewart suggests. Sweet clover may
be desired instead of red clover and
At lower attitudes in Colorado, red
clover will make two seed crops in
single year and has proved to be
satisfactory cash crop.
Field for Each Crop.
"a well-balanced rotation will al
ways provide good field for each
crop that is grown, furnish 8. proper
balance between cash and feed crops,
and maintain a desirable balance be-
tween cultivated and non-cultivated
crops" Stewart says.
