No More Big Time For
Me, Says Player Under
sO-Day Suspension; Ex-
citing Career
BY RoMNEY WHEELER
AP Feature Service Writer

bUFOhD, Ga, July 29.-The
way Cetus Poffenberger feels
about it now. it will be all right
with him if he never pitches an
other game in organized base
ball.
Plain-spoken Mr.. Poffenber-
ger, nicknamed Boots, is under
90-day suspension in the South
ern Association for sounding off
on an umpire's decision and back
ing il up with a fast bali which
zoomed off the arbiter's chest
protector. That dropped him from
Nashville's pitching staff for the
balance of the 1871 season and
the first Is days of 1912.
But Boots isn't loking for any
sympathy. The big fellow, whose
, screwball tendencies got him in
difficulties with Detroit and later
with Brooklyn. signed with the
Buford seni-pro Shoemakers.
And as far as he is concerned.
he'd just as soon stay here from
now on. 55u
Here's How
How did | get let out by De-
troit? Well, had a row over
money with 'em, just like did
with Brooklyn. They never did
pay me what / was worth, and
they said l never gave them all /
had. So what! The most I ever
got in the big show was $500 a
month That's for five months.
And the other seven months you
don't draw a dime.
Poffenberger thinks the Bu-
ford team, sponsored by the
Bona Allen Shoe Company, has
an ideal set-up.
I'D like to stay here. I'd work
in the plant in the off season, and
play baseball in the summer. I
tell you, this outfit has real
first-class team. They treat you
right.
what about Nashville? Well,
Nashville still holds my contract.
/ don't know just what I'll do yet.
I'll see what Nashville offers next
spring. If l can do better over
here, I'd just as soon ask for vol
untary retirement. My wife likes
it here.
Boots won his first start for
Buford, beating a nearby semi
pro textile team, Al.
Boots doesn't care to discuss
the escapades which earned him
his reputation as one of base
balls screwbaIls. His career with
Detroit in 1878 and Brooklyn
in 1899 is. so much water over the
dam. He wound up on the sus-
pended list after jumping Brook
lyn in mid 1899, was re-instated
through efforts of Larry Gilbert
in 1910
Good Record
He had a good year under Gil
bert, winning 26 and losing 8 to
help Nashville win the Southern
Association pennant and later
the Dixie Series. Gilbert, pleas
ed with the reformation, tried to
peddle him to a big league club
last winter, but found no TAX
ers.
81 don't expect to get back in
The big-time", says Poffenberger,
"and / surs2 dent care to kick
around the minor leagues until
I'm worn out. I'd just as soon
stay right here with Buford"
Poffenberaer now is headed
west with the team on a 5000
mile swing which is to include
semi-pro tournaments at Den
yer. Houston, Tex, and Wichita
Kas.. where Buford twice has
won national CHAMPIONSHIPS He
thinks he'll be eligible to pitch in
the Denver Posts tournament,
but must watch from the bench
at Houston and Wichita where
his current Southern legaue sus-
ension bars him.
THAT suspension's got me
now. he saws. "But look out
next wear. II stay with Buford
I'll really go to town..

vigilance in the months their child
rem are released from school disci-
pline and the daily lessons in safe
ty practises.
Edward P. Curran, Safety Director
of the Club, said chances for acct
dent this year are increased because
there are more cars on the road.
Unless motorists are extremely eau
tious the child accident toll will be
heavy during the vacation period,
he said. 1--WE most urgently ask all
drivers to refrain from taking
chances where children are con-
cerned," he added.
at should be recognized by mo-
florists and parents that the hazard
to children is greater in the summer
months when they are free from the
restraints and safety lessons in the
classrooms, "the safety director con-
tinued. Therefore the duty devolv-
es upon drivers to be doubly careful
and upon parents to apply the eau
tionary measures essential to safety"

BRIDGE BONDS SOLD

The State Roads Commission on
Thursday last opened bids for the
purpose of $6,00O,000 Yefunding
bonds of the Susquehanha River
and Potomac River bridges and
awarded the contract to a syndicate
headed by Alexander Brown G Sons,
at an interest rate of 2.08 per
cent.
The present bonds were carrying
an annual rate of 81 per cent, as
authorized by bill passed by the
Maryland Legislature in the 1885
session, known as the Bridge Au-
thority Act.
The low rate will be a saving Of
about 100000 per year and will
either mean further lowering of
the toll charges on the two struc-
lures or will permit the State Roads
Commission to make the bridges
free at date earlier than is provid-
ed in the indenture contract with the
original bond holders.

How many miles does the dairyman
walk in year Juggling milk to his
calves and going back with the empty
pals? How many hours year does
he spend washing calves buckets? And
how much is the milk worth that he
feeds to each calf?
The answer to each Of these ques-
lions will surprise the average dairy
man. The answer to the first depends
on mileage made each trip. The an
swer to the second depends on the man
and the equipment he has for wash
ing buckets. The answer to the third
depends on the price of milk-but it
does take 200 gallons of milk to grow
a milk-fed Holstein calf to sixteen
weeks.
According to E. B. Pratt, dairy spe-
cialist with the Ralston Purina Com
pany, an easier and cheaper. way to
raise calves is on dry feed.
The plan which he outlines calls for
letting calf suck for the first three
days. For the next four days, the
calf is given quart of milk night and

LOWERED FERRY RATES IN
AUGURATED BY STATE

Reductions in ferry rates for pas
sengers and automobile, running
as high as 40%, went in effect
Tuesday, June 10, on the State-own-
ed Annapolis Claiborne Ferry, fol
lowing formal exercises at which 1t
was taken over by the State Roads
Commission.
In addition, announcement was
made by Governor Herbert r. O'Con
or that rebates of approximately
$65, 900 are available now, for those
who have used the ferry since July
LIST, 1910, il they will return their
ferry slips for redemption. This re-
bate will have the effect of making
the rate reductions retroactive to
July LIST, 1910.
Under the new schedule of rates,
as announced by Governor O'Conor
last week, larger automobiles which
now pay $1,000, will pay $3.50, and
the rate on small cars will drop from
$3.50 to SLIPS. The passenger fare
will be soc one way, and SOC round
trip, instead of soc one way and
85c round trip, as before.
Members of the State Roads Com
mission and of the Chesapeake Bay
Ferry Commission; members of the
Senate and House Of Delegates; and
leading State and County officials
were present at the ceremonies
which concluded with a lunch
con in honor of Governor O'Conor on
the Motorship Governor Nice. In ad-
dition to the lowered rates which
went into effect June 10, Governor
O'Conor held out the hope of furth-
er rate reductions, and promised
that ushers of the ferry would be
given increasingly improved service.
Business is booming and we cal
culated that we could make those
reductions now and still leave
enough margin to allow us to MAIN
tain and improve the service, Gov
ernor O'Conor said.
1--WE shall work to improve the
service in every way possible, and
we hope that eventually we shall be
able to make a further rate reduc-
ton. Meanwhile, 1t is our belief that
lower rates will result in greater
use of the ferry.
