Billy The Kid Got Off Floor To Get Back In Major League
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, Sept. 18-When the Cardinals won five of the last six from the Dodgers, nine of the last 1S and 28 out of B against all oppo- nents to pull even with the Brook lyns, the least surprised person was William Southworth.
 Billy the Kid Southworts is the most optimistic man in baseball.
 His players reflect his unlimited natural enthusiasm.
 He never enters a series with any doubt in his mind. You never hear him say: If we get through this game, I'll do so and so." He speaks in positive vein.
 Not the least reason why South worth is an excellent manager is that he is a little man of the world. He understands the players prob- lemS. He is one of them, but de- mands respect. Ask a member of the St. Louis club a particularly pertinent question and he'll say: "See the skipper. Hes the man to talk about things like that" REMNANTS FOLLOW
 SOUTHWORTH AROUND
 Southworth got off the floor to re- scale the managerial heights orig inally achieved in 1929, when he was removed in mid-season as manager of the Cardinals.
 Southworth's answer to being de- noted was to win three more Inter national League championships at Rochester, where his clubs prevailed in 1928, '29 30 and ,31.
 Remnants have a way of follow ing Billy the Kid around.
 Southworth was 8 good fellow well met in those days, a bloke who couldn't say no. Booze got the better of him. Dropped by the Cardinal organization, he was signed as a coach by the Giants in '33, only to be dismissed during the training trip for drinking.
 He was out of baseball for two years. He worked for a Colum-

Figures from the Navy Pre-Flight School at Iowa give you rough idea of to what extent our side IS being toughened up.
 Three new physical efficiency records were set.
 I. R. Her of Paducah, Ky, did 535 sit-ups, with feet free, in succession. If you suspect that's a breeze just lie down and start sitting up. Her did it for one hour and 48 minutes without a hreather.
 Her is prepared to meet the chal- lenge of Charles W. Russell of Cin- natl, who did 305 sit-ups, and who believes he can do more than 535. At the moment, however, Russell, who established his mark on bare floor, is recovering from an abrased posterior, which is nothing to be ashamed of under the circum- stances.
 Robert Kilgore of Minneapolis performed 60 pushups for a new mark for entering cadets. Richard Church of Connersville, Ind, did IT chins. Previous records for entering men were Al pushups and IS chins.
 Battle Ball, an adaptation of bas- ketball to mass mayhem, is the lat est innovation with the Seahawks, as the future flyers training at Iowa are called.
 Lieut.. Marshall Wells, who was football and basketball coach at Milliken College, and Ensign George Paskvan, former Wisconsin fullback, introduced the game as an answer to overcrowded basketball facilities.
 The number of men on team may vary, g on a side taking part in early exhibitions. Several balls are used simultaneously, the object as in basketball to make field goals. In the first 15-minute scrimmage ses- sion, with six balls in play, one team scored 42 field goals and the other 26.
 Battle ball gained support because of the body contact, speed and team play, however, elemental, involved.

 STARTS CLIMB BACK
 AT $500 A MONTH
 Southworth caught hold of him. self and Branch Hickey gave him another chance as manager Of the Asheville Piedmont League faTm club at exactly $500 a month.
 The story of Southworth Is the old one about it being impossible to. keep good man down. Asheviiles Memphis and back to Rochester.
 And then, early in July, i04O. when the theorist, Ray Blades, had the Cardinals in the dumps, Owner Sam Breadon paged Southworth, the practical baseball man.
 The afternoon Southworth took over in Philadelphiaf1 the boys iU the red blazers stole more bases than they had swiped all season. You're right. Southworth has his players running, taking advantagG of their blazing speed. Make them throw you out" he tells them MAKES YOUNGSTERS CLICK; CARDINALS NEVER TIGHT
 Southworth was perfectly ai home the day he picked up the Cardinal ribbons. He had a hand in the development of good share of the Red Birds in Rochester.
 Southworth is a fine hand with young players, as he again has demonstrated this season.
 He has the faculty of keeping his teams loose in tight spots. Under him, the Cardinals ara never tight.
 He works at his job, rarely leaves his hotel room except to go to the park while the club is on the road.
 While Southworth frownS upon extra-curricular drinking on the part of his athletes, his sad ex- perience with the cup that cheers has not made him preacher for temperance.
 Balance does it, and Billy South worth has this in abundance.

cordine to George D. Quigley, asso-
ciate professor of poultry husbandry
at the University of Maryland.
Good equipment IS required to do
a good job Of brooding, Mr.. Quigley
points out, and that is more impor-
tant, he says, if the poultryman tries
to brood early in the season, as in
March He recommends a tight brood
er house which can be cleaned thor
oughly in advance For farm use a
10 feet by II feet portable colony
house Of approved design is about
ideal, he says For best results, it
should be sprayed with coal-tar
disinfectant before using and if there
is any possibility that the house is in
tested with red mites, it should also
be sprayed several days before using
with a mixture of carbolineum and
kerosene, half and half.
One of the secrets of successful
brooding, Mr.. Quigley says, is to keep
the chicks cozily warm. So-called
cold" brooding is frequently advoca-
ted, he states, and always catches a
new crop Of suckers, but the experien-
ced poultryman is apt to always strive
to keep his chicks comfortable. A
starting temperature of 95 degrees to
100 degrees F. at the edge of the how
er at floor level is about right for all
hovers except the electric, in which
the temperature must be raised until
chicks spread out we'll beneath the
hover regardless Of what the Their
mometer may read. At the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station it
was found that in certain electric how
ers it was necessary to raise the Their
mometer to 115 degrees to obtain sat
sfactory chick comfort under the
hover.
In your chick program, says Mr..
Quigley, use vigor, ventilation, var
iety (of food and vitamins for Vic
tory"

Of that type of borrower who does
not keep faith and is not good char
acter risk since this type of loan must
be largely a character loan. He has
noted an Improvement in credit NOR
ale The farmers understand that
these loans are definitely to be repaid.
It is the policy and program of the
Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Of
flee to cooperate very closely with
the county agents and the Extension
Service as we'll as with the Soil Con
servation Service in an endeavor to
encourage farmers to adopt those
farming and soil practices which af-
fords them a more diversified income
as we'll as encourage a Live at Home
Program"
The amount loaned to any one in
dividual farmer is limited to $780,
90. This loan has proved very SER
viceable since it enables the farmers
to make substantial savings on their
seed and fertilizer bills by being able
to pay cash The rate OF interest is
percent and no inspection or ser
vice fees are charged. While many
farmers find that the $4,000 limit
necessitates some curtailment in their
acreage Of truck crops, nevertheless
most Of them have expressed them
selves to the effect that they are
much better off at the end of the year
by borrowing as small an amount as
possible and being able to repay it
with some income left over for the
use of their families 1t has been the
experience in highly specialized truck
crop sections that too much credit
has been equally or more disastrous
than too little. This type of loan has
proven to be a particularly service
able and satisfactory one for the
small farmers on the Eastern Shore.
The headquarters of Mr.. Mock,
Field Supervisor for Somerset and
Worcester Counties, is located in the
Princess Theater Building, Princess
Anne, Maryland, Mr.. Mock accepts
applications at his headquarters in
Princess Anne on Mondays, Tuesdays
and Thursdays and in the county a.
gents office in Snow Hill each Wed
nesday. Mr.. Mock recommends If you
expect to apply for loan this sea-
son, that you make your application
early and have it approved SO that
you may make your plans for your
1912 farming operations and have
your check mailed at later date,
when you are ready to start your
1912 purchases.

PURPOSE OF The
FCA TO FURNISH
FARMERS SEEDS

Mr.. w. B. Mock, Field Supervisor
of the Emergency Crop and Feed
Loan Office of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration, Baltimore recently re-
turned from a Baltimore meeting held
in connection with the 1912 loan pro-
gram.
The purpose of the loan is to fur
nish cash to farmers for the purchase
Of seed, fertilizer and other supplies
necessary or incident to the produc-
ton of crops for market. 1t is de-
signed for the group of growers who
do not have collateral available to
borrow from local banks or produc-
ton credit associations and who, at
the same time, are not in need of re-
Mobilization and detailed supervision,
Mr.. Mock states that during the
past years loans have been made on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and
that considering the fact that the
only type of security taken is a crop
lein, the repayment record has been
very satisfactory in most of the coun-
ties. In the highly intensive truck
counties, farmers have suffered from
price failures on some commodities
for a number of years with results
that many farmers have had to con-
tend with extremely difficult prob
lens. Mr.. Mock further states that
there has been a careful wedding out
