crack combinations around second

Barry-Frisch and Bancroft-IAjoie

combination Of 80 years ago, one of
the all-time greatest.
The deadliest hitting combina-

Ruth and Gehrig, who were big

They were the top hunks of dyna-
mite-and there never again may be
such another combination when it
comes to sheer power.
Present Candidates.
How many of those meeting in the
all-star party here could crash
the two line-ups named above?
You've got to give Lou Gehrig his
chance. Here is one Of the great ball
players when you figure in service to
a team year after year. Hubbell and
Dean are two others who may make
the all-time grade before they are
through. The same goes for young Joe
Di Maggie. who should have is or 1S
years left-who already is a star in
his second big league season.
The same goes for Joe Med

their chance to displace some
Of the big names from other

There is another entry to be con-
sidered for all-time recognition. The
name Is Gehringer of Detroit-a bril-
liant infielder and hitter up around
$50 year after year. Gehringer is a

plays base ball-but he plays it up to

Some of the Greatest.
THE greatest defensive outfield I
ever saw in action belonged to
the Boston Red Sox around 1912
Lewis, Speaker and Hooper.
The best offensive outfleld belonged
to Detroit-Cobb, Crawford and
Veach.
The best infield 1 ever saw
was the Connie Mack combina-
tion from 1910 through 1914
McInnis, Collins, Barry and
Baker.
Picking the best single pitching staff
is another matter Connie Mack
wasn't far away in 1904 when he had
Waddell, Bender, Plank and Coax
ley-Bender, Plank and Coombs were
not any too ragged and moth-eaten.
They won four pennants and three
world series in five years.
The two best base runners I ever
saw over stretch of time were Ty
Cobb and Max Carey-Cobb stole
more than $50 bases-96 in 19l5-83
in 1911-he stole go or more bases in
five different years. Eddie Collins
wasn't far away with 705 stolen bases.
His top mark was 81 in 1909. Carey
averaged a greater number Of steals
per starts-he was thrown out less
than any other player.

But it was a typical Dean climax to

There's distinct feeling among
base ball troupers that Dean is riding

knack of extricating himself just when
it seems he's headed for real trouble.
He has ceased accepting speaking
engagements since the notable occasion
on which he addressed a church dinner

Weaver was considered, but, in the
end, Marse Joe reached toward his

from the champions, Relief Pitcher
Johnny Murphy.
The National Leaguers were dealt
similar shock when Van Mungo, the
Dodgers f1reballer, was reported un-
able to pitch due to an injured back.

Mungo was on his way from Brooklyn

4 DD success stories for 1887
~ the rise of the Chicago Cubs.
~ When the season started, the
4 a Cubs could have stepped into
the first chapter of an Alger book
just bunch of honest hearts and
willing hands. The applause went to
the rich bullies in ST. Louis, the genteel
Giants and the roistering Pirates.
But what difference a few months
make. Today finds the Cubs in front
as base ball attention swung to Wash
ington and the all-star game and
the players not in the game enjoy
q three day holiday.
American League games scheduled
yesterday between the Yanks and
Red Sox and the AS and Senators
were moved back.
Overcame Handicaps.
CINCE June the Cubs have been
hot. They have won 10 out of
81 games and have been especially
effective against those bad boys from
st. Louis. Monday they made it nine
straight against the Gas Housers with
two victories over them. Previously
the Cubs had won three out Of four
from Pittsburgh and three straight
from the Cards. In those nine games
they made 129 hits. scored so runs.
The Cards have not beaten them since
April Is.
Like every Alger hero. the Cubs had
to overcome adversely to be at the top
on base balls traditional inventory day,
July 4. Early in the season injuries
and illness deprived them of the serv-
ices of nine players, most of them
pitchers.
Charlie Grimm's men found a REM
edy-they started to hit. They are
still hitting. The latest averages
credit Gabby Hartnett with 1886, Billy
Herman with 1865, Bill Jurges with 1863
and Frank Demaree with .349.

First-Divisioners to Start.

NOV Terry also is playing marbles
for keeps. Back in 1884 when
he first managed an All-Star team,
Terry was criticized for letting the
Americans off the hook by making
too many substitutions in order to
give the crowd show. His National
Leaguers stepped off to 40 lead in
the first three innings, only to falter
and fold In the stretch. Joe Cronin's
Americans rallied and won a 9-to-7
decision.
Terry used 20 players in that game
at the Polo Grounds, setting an ALL
Star game record. Today the tip was
out that Terry may set another record.
This time, however, it won't be for
the most liberal use of players, but,
rather. for the contrary
First Of the two pilots to announce
his lineup, Terry named Waner of
Pittsburgh, center field; Herman. Chi
cago. second base; Vaughan. Pitts

left; Demaree, Chicago, center; Mize,
St. Louis, right; Hartnett, Chicago,
catcher; Bartell, New York. shortstop,
and Dean, St. Louis, pitcher.
This team embraces only four of
the National League clubs-the Giants
Cubs, Cards and Pirates-and all are
first-division teams. The only substi-
tutions Terry contemplates, outside OF
pinch-hitters for pitchers, is Hubbell
for Dean in the fourth inning and
either Grissom of Cincinnati or Mungo
Of Brooklyn for Hubbell in the seventh.

recommended, using the contour
method in orchards, and in alfalfa
irrigation, the width and length of
borders being determined by the
soil types. In heavy types of land
subsoiling may be advantageous in
securing this deep penetration, said
Brown.
One of the interesting examples CT
increased productivity through pro-
per irrigation was the subsoiled al
falfa demonstration at the John
Kubler ranch near the Mt Signal
school.
Here four acre feet of water were
used in irrigation and Kubler got
five tons of alfalfa to the acre off
200 acre ranch. In the first cut
ting this spring he had yield of
a ton per acre after making his
! last cutting about Dec. l.
His alfalfa is five years old, and
for two years was in dairying and
the trampling of the stock resulted
in closing the surface soil so that
it was difficult to obtain adequate
moisture penetration.
The fields were subsoiled 16 in
ches deep, 4ia-5 feet apart and he
now has a moisture penetration of
3l2-6 feet.
At the G.. c.. Bennett alfalfa
planting on the Wanl ranch near
'Wulff crossing, another demonstra-
ton of subsoiling was inspected, here
oats and alfalfa being planted.
Bennett has operated this piecs
for seven years and the ground was
very hard, yielding only three tons
of hay per acre per year, which was
of excellent quality but the pro-
duction was too low to be profit
able.
Last fall Bennett subsoiled 81
inches deep, four feet apart. seeded
alfalfa and oats and has a splen-
did mixed hay crop yielding thres
tons to the acre per cutting. TIL,
subsoiling not only has increase
production but has resulted in {

of weighing this grain as we sell
and ship only to firms and storage
warehouse whose weights are
known to be accurate and fair.
After the car is reported to our
office, his responsibility ceases and
becomes ours for the protection of
his interests and the ultimate re-
mittance to him Of proceeds derived
from the sale, or cash advance
against storage, as the case may
be. If sale is made for shipment
by truck his only responsibility is
to advise us when the grain is
really for shipment and the same
procedure will apply.

to hold for higher prices we arrange

to sell when we market it for him.
