TOO MUCH THROWING IS BAu John Kling, Premier Catcher for Chi* cage Cubs. Tells How to Win— Let Umpires Alcre. BY JOHN KLING. (Copyright. 1S10. by Joseph B. Bowles.) When I was a pitcher inscini-protes sional teams around Kansas City l lost many games by trying to do too much, by throwing too often, and by wearing tnyself out by wasttd efforts. I was a failure as a ball player in Se veral towns before experience taught me that one play at the right instan^ is worth ten at any other time. It was the old'"stitch in time saves nine*' idea, but it did more for me than any thing else to win games and to bring me up in the profession. When 1 began catching, one ot the first things 1 learned was that the catcher can break up a team quicker than any one else can. He need not e# n make an error to do it. One of the easiest ways to lose n game is for the catcher to throw too much. He may throw perfectly, and yet by keep ing the infield moving and out of po si:*on, expecting his throws and study ing him instead of watching the bat ter, he tuay cause the game to be lost. My idea has been to make plays when they count and not to use too many signals. The infieiders have a lot to watch, and if the catcher keeps them watching him all the time he tak»'< their minds off their other duties an-j causes them to make blunders. Firsl and foremost in importance in winning is that the catcher never shall make or attempt to make any play, especial ly a throw, unless absolutely certain that the other men in the play have caught the signal, understand what is to be attempted, and are prepared tc make the play with him. There comes a time in almost every ball game when the opposing team has a good chance to win by scoring a lot of runs in a bunch. The inning In which that happens is the one in which the catcher ought to pull oC his play. In such a situation, when a team is having a batting rally, it i^ twice as easy for a catcher to catch John Klirg. men oS bases by fast throws than it is at any other stage of the contest. The team that is rallying and sees victory almost in hand always Is ex cited. and the base’runners take more liberties, longer leads and lose their heads quicker than at any other time. Excitement robs them of their natural caution and the catcher who keeps cool and keeps thinking can catch runners off their bases frequently, and perhaps break up a winning rally and save the game. The Cubs have done that many times, and It helped them win pennants. 1 am not claiming I won those games. Confidence in each other is one of the big elements in winning games. The catcher who does not have con fidence in his infield is afraid to throw, and even when he docs throw he throws timidly. A bad first baseman or one in whom the others have no confidence makes bad throwers of ail. 1 believe in helping umpires and do ing all I can to make their work easier. If they are let alone and not nagged at their work Is much more satisfactory. 3ADGERS PLAY SEVEN GAMES Number of Contests Increased as Re sult of Systematic Campaign Car ried on by Students. Wisconsin will play seven games of football next season as the result of a systematic campaign which has been carried on by the students, who de manded a longer schedule for the grid iron squad. The decision granting the extension of the schedule was handed down by the faculty the other day after the athletic council had voted in favor of seven games. Owing to the reform wave which struck Wisconsin four years ago the schedule was cut from seven to five games, but the student body vigorous ly protested and finally won their point. Cates far Spring Games. In the absence of Connie Mack, the local inter-league series between the Pfciliies and Athletics in Philadelphia was arranged to start at Shibe park on April 1. The negotiations were car ried on between John Shibe, represent ing the world’s champions, and Horace Fogel, president of the Phillies. The 1911 series, as usual, will consist of nine games. Isbell at Pueblo. Ft*r.nk Isbell, the veteran White Sox pla.-cr, is about to move his Wichita team to Pueblo. The Wichita city fathers notified Issy that there would be no Sunday baseball in that city this summer and Frank immediately notified them that there would be no baseball during the week then. Trick Birds o/ Hong Kong The famous Chinese conjuring birds am Java sparrows. At street corners • ta Hong Kong sedate old Chinese may be seen putting the birds through I a-elr tricks for the benefit of strangers. Each bird cage has a sliding door. j and Just outside this Is a pack of lit- J tie card cases, each containing a pic ture. and a small pot holding half a doses grains of rice. When the stranger, pursuant to the suggestion of the owner hands over the necessary coin, this is placed with the pack of cards at the cage door. Then the owner will undo the fasten ing of the door. The bird, eyeing the coin, then the cards, then the coin again, as if he thougnt his perform ance too cheaply valued, descends from his perch, opens the door with bis beak, hops out. draws a card from the pack and passes It to bis master. He received a grain of rice in reward. The man takes the little ptcture from the case received from the bird and hands it to the stranger to in spect. He then returns it to the case, accompanied by the tiniest Oat slip of bamboo, and shuffles the case up with the rest of the pack. The bird descends, selects a case and the stranger opens !t, to And it the Identi cal one containing the bamboo. How can this be accounted for? The mly possible way of explaining Is that J the bamboo slip Is slightly scented. ■v. MODERATE-PRICED PIGGERY ACCOMMODATING BROOD SOWS Excellent Pens for Shelter of Swine Both In Summer and Winter—Sanitary and Ventilating Con ditions Are Superior. — In response to a query for plans for a moderate-priced house to accom modate 25 brooding sows and the usual complement of pigs, the Coun try Gentleman publishes the follow ! ing: For the brood sows It is best to have separate cots like those describ ed by Professor Shaw of the Michigan station, front whose bulletin on the j subject the following engravings are made. Sows and pigs should be kept i *>way from the main or winter pen as much as possible. The sow- should j have plenty of exercise, plenty of green and succulent food, and access | to the ground. These cots offer Ideal | summer conditions both to sow and litter. Fig 1 is a good cot for a sow that is about to farrow-, since she cannot lie down close to the sides and thus overlie the young pigs. A cot like that shown in Fig. 2, however, gives better ventilation and is preferable in very hot weather. This is built 6xS. with vertical sides 3 feet high, with board roof, half pitch. The center boards on the sides are hung on hinges to open in hot weather. Note also the simple way of ventilating at the highest point of the roof. Cover the openings in the sides with woven wire. Such a cot contains 160 feet of stock lumber. 60 feet of matched stuff. 20 feet 4 by 6. 12 feet 4 by 4. 44 feet 2 by 4. and might to be made by a car penter in a couple of days. A floor can be made for it if desired for win ter quarters, using two-inch stuff cut in lengths to rest on the skids, which are wider than the sills. Do not fasten the sills to the skids, as the latter are the first to rot. Fig. 1—Movable Cot for Brood Sow. Fig. 2—A Six-by-Eight Cot. Where the pigs do not come late in the fall or too early in the spring, it is better to use such a cot as the per t manent home of the sow. keeping her ; there during the winter and compelling | plenty of exercise by putting her food The Arrangement cf the Pert. Plan of Piggery. at a considerable distance from the cot. and not using too much bedding, but enough to keep her warm and1 comfortable. Such cots are used also for fatten ing pigs. A movable hog cot is better in most cases than a permanent pen, as it keeps the pigs away from any central place, which is sure to become permanently contaminated, muddy in wet weather, dusty in dry. and dirty all the lime. If a permanent hog-house is to be built, it should be located on a knoll1 rather than in a moist hollow. Next, sufficient yardage, which you say you ; have, should be available. Large lots, where succulent food can be grown, are to be preferred to small exercise pens, which cannot bo kept healthful in a warm climate. The pig should naturally be fattened in the late fall, and none carried over but the breed ing stock. Experiments beyond num ! her have shown that it is not profit able to feed either old or heavy hogs. The rule ought to be to have eight months-old pigs weigh at least 200 pounds and fit for slaughter. Such pigs ought never to see the inside of a costly permanent pen, but ought to go to the slaughter house directly from the lots and the cots. ENGLISH BREED OF DORKING — Of the domesticated breeds of fowl In England the Dorking is among the oldest, ranking in this respect with the Games. There are those among poultry writers, who give it even greater historical significance, claim ing to trace its ancestry back to the time of the Roman invasion of Brit tany. It takes its name from an Eng lish town in Surrey, where undoubted ly it first attained economic impor- ! tance. From this source it has spread pretty much over England, and occu pies the same position to the poultry industry of that country that the Ply mouth Rocks and Wyandottes do to America. Pre-eminently it belongs to the all-purpose breeds, with a slightly preponderating advantage for table uses. SUCCESS IN SHEEP GROWING Experience Teaches Only Safe Way Is to Besin With Moderate Sized Flock and Gradually Increase the If umber. (By R. G. WEATHERSTOXE.) Success in the sheep business is a growth. It does not come to an in experienced man who jumps into the business on a large scale—such cases are usually characterized by losses and disappointments, that following soon after founding the flock, cause the owner to abandon the business. Experience proves that the only safe course is to begin with a moderate sized flock and gradually increase the number until it is as large as can be maintained at a profit on the farm. Careful study and some experience gained with a small flock are the ad vances that must be made before a man can make a success of the sheep business. Dogs, parasites and tariff tinkering cannot keep the busi ness down when the farmers appre ciate the large profits it can be made to yield. *nHh?hP.

A young man who is prominent in church work in Philadelphia t* ,s about his nephew: Harold is the youngster^ name, an . next door lives another oo> b.> * !l name of Dewey.

From the pockets of the coat the two boys a - siracted several tickets, and w icn Harold's mother found it out she ma e him return the tickets and explain* i the sin which he had committed, warning him to pray that he be lor given that night. He obeyed, an while on his knees added a prayer or Dewey as well. The next night Harold's mother was in the next room when he said his prayers, and she heard him ask < iod to forgive Dewey for stealing a pi'-ce ° cake. On the following evening he again was moved to ask forgiveness for his friend, this time for stealing three pieces cf candy. Apparently his patience was exhausted, for the nex. evening his mother was in the adjoin ing room when he offered his evening prayer, and this is what she hoard: "Gosh darn it.
