beans for processing are on the
decline.
The livestock and poultry pros
poets look encouraging to those
who are attempting to assure a
supply of milk, eggs, butter, meat,
cheese, etc. for our Allies and the
civilian population. An increase
of 1875 COWS and heifers for milk
is anticipated, 81, 1858 more turkeys
are scheduled to be raised, 1922
more chickens and there will be
1896 more soWs to farroW.
Any farmer who can possibly do
so is urged to make plans yet for
increasing his late potato plant
ings. The present contemplated
acreage is still about 300 acres
short of the goal set for the county.
Any contemplated increases should
be reported to the AAA office for
their use in establishing individ-
ual potato goals for incentive pay
ment purposes.

The Weather

For a weatherman, this man
Morgan has been more than con-
siderate this year, according to all
the grass growers. A spell of hot
weather during the past week
would have cost the growers hum
dreds of dollars in lost and second
grade stuff. The cool weather and
cold nights on the other hand have
held back the crop until more help
is available. Morgan's records for
the past week are as follows:

Like Honus Wagner and Tyrus
Cobb, Napoleon Lajoie and Edward
Trowbridge Collins, the greatest Of
second basemen, were opposites In
all respects except ability.
Stable Larry Lajoie was phleg-
matte and graceful.
Eddie Collins, standing no more
than five feet eight and Weighing
only i60 pounds, was the nervous,
jumpy type,
Cocky Collins simply had to be
doing something, and 1t usually did
the other side no good. That was
the only explanation for his nick
name, for one Of the more remark
able things about him was the con-
troll he had over q fiery temper and
fighting spirit. And despite the
greatness that made him the rival
Of Ty Cobb for years, he was mod
est and unassuming,
SUCCESS FOLLOWS COLLINS
Collins was the keystoner and
keynoter Of two Of the most accom-
plished clubs that ever took the field
tho Philadelphia Athletics, who
won Z pennants In 8 years, 1910
II, and the Chicago White Sox, who
came down in front in ~ and
turned out TO be the Black Sox when
they duplicated the performance In
10.
The fact that such an important
member of the party did not become
involved In baseball's darkest chap.
ter Is perhaps the strongest EVIL
dence OF the strength Of character
that has kept Collins In baseball for
81 years-as one Of the foremost
players. manager, coach and for the
past 10 years vice president and
general manager Of the Boston Red
Sox,
Kid Gleason, who managed the
White Sox. considered Collins the
greatest player who ever stepped
onto the diamond.
Connie Mack tells you that no
other player quite matched Collins
In everything and at the same time
was such q fine team man.

collins was the quickest thinker
I ever saw" testifles Billy Evans,
the old umpire.
Gleason put Collins on top because
Of his hitting, fielding, baserunning,
knowledge, ability to handle other
players and because his head was
working all the time. Gleason said
Collins was more dangerous In a
pinch than any player he ever saw.
Collins was put out OF games on
no more than a half dozen occa-
sions, and he holds the major
league record for longest service as
q combatant-25 years. Mack, Glea-
son and others stressed the COOPER
alton and tremendous amount Of
help he gave his manager.
ONLY COBB STOLE MORE
Collins, generally considered the
smartest second baseman of them
all, left q lifetime batting mark Of
1888. Only Cobb topped his 744 stol-
en- bases, and he led the Georgia
Peach In lawful larceny In 10 differ
ent seasons. Cobb's maximum was
06 In Is. Collins 81 in 10.
Collins thrice topped Cobb In bat
ting at q stage In their illustrious
careefS when ordinary players
would long since have been washed
up.
With all his accomplishments. Kid
Gleason said he wouldn't dream OF
measuring Collins value merely by
the plays he executed, added that
the Columbia collegian had credit
coming on many plays pulled by
others.
Yet Eddie Collins perhaps is best
remembered as the victor in his
memorable foot race with Heinie
Zimmerman, who chased him across
the plate In the 1917 World Series.
Such Is fame.

Boston Promoters bangle $4,000 Bait For Pep Title Bou
Robinson, CabraI Top
Boston Boxing
Show April 3Oth

Boston, April 81. - Easily the
best welterweight In New England"
Is the appraisal one shrewd local
flstic expert puts on Freddy Cabral,
Cambridge, who fights the worlds
uncrowned welterweight champion,
Ray Sugar" Robinson, Harlem, IN
the magnetic main bout Of q Boston
Boxing Association show on Friday
night, April 30, when the Garden
may be filled to the rafters again.
HE lacks only confidence" says
this estimator whose opinions are
held In high regard along Cauili-
flower Boulevard. "Cabral Is well
ahead Of George Martin and Ralph
Zaneln and would have knocked out
Sammy Fuller In a round the other
night.
II was in New York q few months
ago when Pep fought Angott In a
main bout at Madison Square Gar
den. Cabral was in the semi-final
and gave that rugged veteran Sa-
verio Turiello o fine pasting. He
looked wonderful, even better than
when he whipped Phil Norman and
Joe DeMartino In his last Boston
bouts.
"Cabral Is the most moderated
kid we have In this section. A great
fighter but he's got to find 1t out
himself. He's got every bit as much
talent as Robinson himself but he
doesn't realize 1t yet.
Confident
what will he do against Robin
SOM Cabral can beat him, don't
make any mistake about that. He's
got a better chance than Bartolo
had Of beating Pep and Bartolo
barely missed. I'm not going over
board on Cabral but keep a keen
eye on him. He's got the makings
Of a big upset In his mltts. I've
been watching him improve with q
great rush and he's been picking
up the needed confidence enroute.
The other day In the gym / saw
him clout one Of our better middle
weights all over the joint"
In Robinson, the fistic flash from
Harlem who remains the idol Of
New York's Negro section despite
the presence Of Henry Armstrong,
Beau Jack and the rest, Cabral
meets the top Of the can, the foam
on the fistlc beer. Sugar has lost
only one fight in his career. that
to Jake LaLaMotta, a big middle
weight. Robinson got full revenge
on LaMotta In a return bout. Sugar
would be the acknowledged welter-
weight champion today except for
the fact that the l47-crown, held
by Fred Cochrane, is frozen" for
the duration with Cochrane in the
Navy.
Tickets at $l.l0 to $40 are on
sale at the Boston Boxing Associa-
ton, A School Street, Waterman
Building. A branch office at the
Garden will be opened in q few
