Mats Win With Best Inning,

THE Griffs still were felicitating
themselves today on their last
ditch rally which finally netted a
victory over the AS after four previous
failures. Going into the ninth inning
they were, as usual, behind the 8-ball
Then, surprising even themselves,
they scored five runs to pull it out of
the fire, 1877.
The victory marked several season
highs. For one item the Griffs' II
hits set new batting mark for them.
SO did the total of 10 runs. And,
lastly, that ninth frame was the first
big inning they've staged since the
season started.
Almon Williams, twice victor over
the Mats, started for the AS, but he
couldn't stand prosperity. Wildness
prompted Connie Mack to insert Edgar
Smith, who was charged with the
defeat, for it was Smitty who filled
the bases with only one out in the
last inning.
The AS we're leading, rs, but Ben
Chapman squared off against Herman
Fink and singled to tie it up, TT
Then Buddy Lewis singled, making it
81. Before Fink could get the side
out Joe Kuhel and Johnny Stone each
doubled and Eddie Linke and Sgd
Cohen managed after considerable diff
ficulty to hold the lead.

Riddle Works Out Today.

MEANWHILE, when the Nationals

Vised that Johnny knows how to catch
and moves around in better style
than Hogan. This afternoon Bucky
was to get his first glimpse of Mutt in
uniform, for with no game slated
until tomorrow he has ordered a
workout.
Actually it won't be Harris first
look at Riddle. He saw him some
eight years ago, although later than
this date he received brief trial
with the White Sox Engel touts him
highly and Bucky plans to use him
regularly.
He doesn't have to be very good"
said Harris, dourly, "to be better than
what we've had. I like that fielding
record of his with Indianapolis last
year. In lis games he was credited
with 101 assists. A catcher must be
able to throw and run to get that
many assists"
Riddle batted 1925 for Indianapolis
In 1886. He is on the stocky side and
faclally resembles old Pat Collins,
who once caught for the Yankees.

SCRIBE GETS FILL

Taken for Ride by GuIotta

INDIANAPOLIS, May 3.-Imagine

how it feels to streak around the 2lla-
mile speedway track here at speed

He Goes on Relief Now.

THE Griffs eventually won the game,
10 to 7, but it was no fault of
De Shong's. The young man who
won Is games for the Nationals last
year worked three full innings and
the AS played game called double
or no count. This they did most sue
cessfully, meaning they scored two
runs in each of these innings. and
held 60 lead when Harris finally
thumbed James Brooklyn off the
premises.
1t was the second time that Jimmy
has tried to pitch a game since the
official season opened. The first
time, facing the Red Sox, he lasted
two innings. His total for five in
nings pitched now reads: Runs
scored, 9; hits allowed, 7; bases on
balls, 9, and hit batsmen, /.
The affair in Philly yesterday con-
WINGED Harris that De Shong ought
to be on relief. So until he shows
that he is ready to pitch winning ball
Jimmy will occupy niche in the bull
pen.

Gram Ration for Jerseys

A good winter grain ration for
Jersey COWS depends upon the
amount of milk produced and the
quality of the hay fed. Under Or
dinary conditions, states an expert
at the North Carolina State college,
each COW should receive siX-tenths
of one pound Of grain for each
pound of milk produced in excess
of ten pounds. This means that
COW giving 20 pounds of milk would
receive SIX pounds of grain day.
This feeding is based on the sup
position that the COW is getting about
three pounds of silage for each 100
pounds of weight and all the legume
hay she will eat. Where the hay is
of poor quality, more grain will be
required.

Stolen Horse Saying Is
Applied to Oats Yields

The parable of the farmer who
waited until his horse was stolen
before locking the barn applies to-
day in the loss Of soil through ero-
sion.
At the Guthrie, Okla, experiment
station of the Soil Conservation serv-
ice two equal-sized fields, one eroded
and the other virgin grass land,
were soWn to oats. The virgin land
yielded more than 40 bushels to the
acre while the soil-Wasted field pro-
duced II bushels. Losing oats, a
prime horse feed, is in way aGI1iv-
alent to losing horses. The differ
ence of 20 bushels is enough for the
usual work horse ration for more
than 100 days.
The eroded land had been in culti-
walton about 80 years, and contin-
ued cropping accounts for some of
the difference in yield. But erosion
was largely to blame for the vast
ing Of the fertility of the field. If
oats were selling at 40 cents a bush
el, the difference in returns from the
two one-acre fields would amount to
SLIGO. Furthermore, the cost of ter
racing badly eroded land on the
Guthrie project was more than three
times as great as on newly broken
land. These facts, according to the
Soil Conservation service, show it
pays to start saving soil on newly
cleared land rather than wait until
washing waters have carried away
most of the good soil which had
developed through the years.
