ENDURANCE OF GOTCH

GIVEN SUPREME TEST IN FIRST MATCH WITH HACKENSCHMIDT. Champion of AIL Wrestlers Telia of Bout With Russian Lion—Want * After All Europeans to Defeat Them Quickly as Possible. There are four requirements of a great wrestler who can keep a title for years without having his shoulders pinned to the padded canvas: Strength, endurance, speed and skill. Probably no man in all the annals of wrestling has had these elements so mingled in him in the proper proportions as Frank Gotch. 1 have heard men of giant stature and seemingly unlimited strength assert they could do nothing with Gotch because he was too strong for them. Others have pronounced the Humboldt Hercules the fastes t t big man in the world. His endurance was given the supreme test in his first encounter

with George Ilackenschmidt. When the mat (gladiators had tugged and pulled and shoved for more than two hours, and both were supposed to be at the end of their tethers, Gotch showed a flash of his wonderful speed and marvelous power of endurance* He picked the Russian Lion oft the mat and hurled him to the canvas as though he were a child. “When I met Tom Jenkins at Bellingham and won the American belt 1 was. up against a wrestler of great strength and superior experience," says Gotch. “However, I was more durable at the end of thirty minutes of wrestling. The wear and tear of the battle had its effect on this old mat gladiator. He had wasted more energy than I. Inasmuch as I was as strong as Jenkins after thirty minutes I had him at my mercy and he resorted to fouling tactics. “The fellow who can travel over the long route and remain fast and strong always has it on the other fellow if their strength is anywhere near equal. “In the case of Hackenschmidt 1 have often been asked why the Rus-

was able to put up such a strong front in our first battle and yet seemed so inferior to me in our match at Comiskey baseball park. “The answer to this is simple. I had been told of the wonderful strength of the Russian Lion. I was told that he would tear me limb from limb. I was coached to play a careful game. I was sure I could stand Hackenschmidt off and retain the strength to defeat him. I was disillusioned in that match and since that time I have gone after all those Europeans to defeat them as quickly as possible. The defeats of Mahmout, Zbyszko and Raicevitch are examples. “I confess that I tore into Hackenschmidt in our second meeting in harder fashion than I ever ripped into an opponent in my career. His misstatements of facts concerning our first match, his treatment of our party when we toured England and his misrepresentations in America only served to make me wish to humiliate him the more. I didn’t want him to have a leg to stand on. This talk about his having a bad knee is only an alibi at the most It was I who had a bad knee. Hackenschmidt was Injured in the heart. When he saw that he was a goner, he begged for mercy, and that showed Us true colors.” (Copyright, 1914, by Joseph B. Bowles.)

After Olympic Talent.

The British Olympic council has decided to award standard badges, with ribbons and bars, and diplomas for a series of performances during one year, reaching the required standard of merit. The awards, which will be known aB the British Olympic proficiency badges and diplomas, may be competed for only by British amateurs as defined by each of the governing associations concerned. These bodies have drawn up standards for candidates from seventeen to twenty years of age in athletics, boxing, cycling, fencing, shootlngf swimming, wrestling and gymnastics. They have also undertaken the supervision and checking of performances, and will endeavor to help the competitors to obtain proper facilities for coaching.

Intentional Pass.

Dode Birmingham isn’t particularly strong for the intentional pass, but doesn’t quite see how it can be abolished. He riddles the only practical remedy suggested to date by saying: “If you prevent the catcher from stepping out, you are going to kill off one of the finest bits of baseball — the pltch-outtocatch a base runner off second base or to knock oqjt the hit and run being attempted by the opposing team. You cannot kill the k intentional pass in that way without also killing other important features of the game which we cannot afford to have killed."

Invasion of Japanese.

Keio university of Tokio, Japan, is planning a real invasion of the United States this year. The Japanese players will arrive on the Pacific coast in April, and after a tour of that section will come east, playing many college nines.

JONES FINED FOR LOAFING

Wisconsin Boy Relates Funny Experience While Playing With Chicago Cubs a Few Years Ago. , “In all my major league career I have been fined but once,” said Davy Jones, who recently signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Federate. “That's a fair record, isn’t It? The assessment was for $lO and I had to* pay it and. never got it back. My offense was alleged loafing on a batted ball, and it happened that I really "wasn’t at all, but I never was able to convince my erstwhile manager of this fact. “I was playing with the Chicago club in the National league and we were fighting New York for the pennant. I was in right field and toward the latter part of the game, which was a very close one, somebody batted one along the foul line. I tried

to get the ball on the fly, but fell About six Inches short and the pellet dropped just outside the line, but far enough out to remove any doubt in my mind as to its being foul. “Instead of running after the leather, I took my time and when 1 got It back to the diamond the batsman had reached third. Imagine my surprise and disgust when the umpire let him stay there, calling it a fair bail. ; : “As soon as I returned to the bench after the inning, I wastreated to another surprise, for the manager told me that my deliberate movements in the field would cost me Just $lO. I paid the money and after that I hustled after them all, fair or foul.”

The Dubuque club, of the Three ! league, has signed Pitcher Lentz, of Freeport, 111. The new (linger is said to be unusually clever in nipping prospective stealers off the sacks.

NAMING THE NEW DEFENDER

Whatever Yacht May Be Called Rest# Entirely With Owners or Syndicates —Good Suggestions.Now that a series of races for the America’s cup are assured for 1914 and work is under way on at least one defender, the problem of naming the yacht which will represent this country in the international event arises. Sir Thomas J. Lipton has clung tenaciously to the name Shamrock with numerals added, and this country’s craft have had political and historical names, including the Puritan, the Mayflower and the Columbia, as well as such pther characteristic names as the Volunteer, the Vigilant and the Reliance, not to mention some of the earlier defenders, the Sappho, the Madeline, the Mischief, the America and the original Columbia. While the question of a name for each of such defenders as may be built rests entirely with the individual owners or syndicates, the suggestion of a name or names for the American vessels built for the honor of upholding American supremacy on the high seas is one which will soon attract the attention of the yachting fraternity. There are many American t Indian names particularly suitable to be applied to America’s cup defenders, and there are other branches in the sphere of yacht nomenclature which may be drawn upon. The first requisites are that the names suggested be easily pronounceable and not too long. Interest in the new yachts that may be built for the honor of defending the America’s cup is not limited to the comparative few who will subscribe toward the Jr construction and maintenance, but in reality they will become national and this will cause all who are in any way interested in the sport to at least contribute a suggestion for a suitable name for the defender.

Swim Records Go.

Three world’s Bwimming records were broken at Chicago, when the 120, 200 and 220-yard marks went to smash. H. J. Herbner took the 220 In 2:21, lowering C. M. Daniels’ record of 2:25. He also made a 200-yard record of 2:07 2-5 against the old record of 2:111-5. Perry McGllvary won the 100-yard race in 56 seconds, taking off 1% seconds from the former mark.

Hummel to Newark.

John Hummel, veteran second baseman of the Brooklyn Dodgers; and utility outfielder, will be sent to the Newark club of the International league the coming season.

American Association Umpires.

President Chivington of the American association announces that Umpires Johnstone and Murray have signed contracts.

Purchases Own Release.

Catcher Jack O’Rourke has purchased his release from the Middletown club of the Eastern league in order to sign with the Newark International league club.

ROUGHAGE IS NECESSARY FOR THE DAIRY COW

By R. E. CALDWELL, Department of Dairy Husbandry, Purdue University, School of Agriculture. Purdue University Agricultural Extension.

The individual feeding of hay will increase one’s appreciation of its quality and cause a man to select roughages which are especially adapted for dairy cows.

In order that a milk cow may be kept in her best condition physically. It is necessary for the ration to contain three separate parts, namely, concentrates, roughage and succulence. The roughage is supplied for two purposes. First, that of supplying nutrients; second, the supplying of bulk. The dairy cow is so constituted that best results are secured if she is supplied a feed that requires thorough mastication. Sufficient nutrients may be supplied the dairy cow through the use of grain only, however, better results are secured if a part of the nutrients are supplied in the form of roughage. Inasmuch as a dairy cow produces a prqduct that is comparatively high in protein, it Is obviously necessary to supply a ration carrying a rather large amount of the same material. There are a number of coarse feeds that analyze rather high in this particular element and under average conditions, will supply a cheaper- ration than if the protein waß supplied in the form of grain and concentrated, only. There is also a great variation in the palatability of rough feeds. These classed under the general heading of legumes are, as a rule, quite palatable. Feeds, such as corn fodder and timothy hay, produce very poor results unless given especial attention in regard to their preparation. This is best done by chopping them, which causes the cow to consume a larger percentage of the roughage than she otherwise would. Steaming or wetting rough feeds is not to be recommended. In order that a better understanding of the general classification of roughages may be had, the following classes are given:

Roughages. Class I —Poor in digestible protein, poor in digestible carbohydrates, high in fiber: Such as wheat, straw, oat straw corn stover. Class II —Fair in protein, fair in carbohydrates, considerable fiber: Such as timothy hay, red top hay, kaffir fodder, corn fodder. Class III —Rich in protein, fair in carbohydrates, considerable fiber: Such as Alfalfa hay, red clover hay, cowpea hay, vetch hay, soybean hay. The following discussion deals with the feeds listed above and considers their value as dairy feed and their, proper combination:

Wheat straw—Wheat straw, as a feed for dairy cows, has very little value, it carries only eight-tenths of one per cent, protein and four-tenths of one per cent, of fat. On the contrary, it is exceedingly high in fiber, making it rather indigestible and requiring a larger amount of energy for its proper assimilation. For dry cows it may be fed sparingly, aa it supplies heat and a limited amount of carbohydrates. As a feed for cows la milk, it should not be considered enaspt In extreme cases. Corn stover —Corn stover carries 1.4 per cent protein and seven-tearths of one per cent. fat. If property preserved and shredded, milk cowu will consume about 60 per cent of It. Its use for milk production is limtsud, although, under condition such aa exist at this season, it may very properly be fed in connection with a small amount of high class roughage and silage. Timothy hay.—Owing to the market price of this feed, it is prohibitive from the standpoint of the dairyman. It carries 3.8 per cent, protein and 1.3 per cent. fat. If properly cured, timothy hay is quite palatable and should be classed about one-third above that of. oat straw and corn stover as a feed for dairy cows. Red top hay—Red top hay Is equal In feeding value to timothy for dairy cows, and is recommended as a feed for this purpose only when it is possible to secure ‘ it at a rate comparer

ble with such feeds as corn fodder and oat straw. Alfalfa hay—This roughage belongs to the general class known ss legumes and is considered the peer of rough feed for dairy cows. It carries 10.5 per cent protein and nine-tenths of one per cent, fat It is extremely palatable and, so long as it may be purchased for sls or less a ton, it will supply food nutrients for the purpose of milk production as econonfically as through the use of grain. Red clover hay—Red clover belongs to the same class as alfalfa and, in the main, is as valuable a feed. Its palatability is not quite equal to that of alfalfa and it carries only 7.1 per cent, protein and 1.8 per cent. fat. As a feed for dairy cows, it should be purchased at about $1.50 or $2.00 less per ton than alfalfa. Soy bean hay—Soy bean hay will analyze almost equal to that of alfalfa. However, it is not equal from the standpoint of a feed. The chief difficulty is due to the fact that soy bean hay is rather unpalatable and difficult to harvest. In feeding any rough feed to dairy cows, they should be supplied all they will consume without waste. When silage is used, 12 or 14 pounds of dry roughage will represent the amount consumed by the average cow. If they must depend entirely upon dry roughage for the fibrous part of their ration, they might consume as high as fifteen or eighteen pounds per day. As a general proposition, it is possible to supply a dairy cow with one-third of her roughage made up of cheaper feed, such as oat straw and corn stover, the other two-thirds being made up of a high class roughage, snch as alfalfa or clover.

MAKE HENS WORK FOR FOOD

Grain Should Be Thrown Into Litter 8o Fowls Will Have to Exercise Themselves to Get It ’ ' Hens, like hobos, ought to be made to work for their food, according to N. E. Chapman, poultry expert at the Minnesota College of Agriculture. J4r. Chapman believes the failure to make hens work is one of the principal reasons why eggs are scarce now. Another reason they do not lay, he said, is because they are often so housed that they have cold feet. “There ought to be lots of straw and litter in the chicken bouse," said Mr. Chapman. “The grain ought to be thrown into the litter so the hens will have to scratch for it The exercise is good for them. It will keep them warm and healthy. Pullets rightly cared for ought to be averaging a dozen eggs a month now. They Will begin to lay before they get their full growth if they are given the right care. They should supply the eggs while the old hens are molting. During November, December anl January, old hens will not lay many eggs. They will hardly average an egg a month." Corn meal, shorts, ground oats, oil meal, beef scraps, skim milk, green food, clover, alfalfa, grit shells and charcoal are recommended* by Mr. Chapman as the best food for chickens this time of year. Reports of a scarcity of eggs are prevalent all over the country, Mr. Chapman said. He believes the price will be unusually high before midwin-, ter. The number of eggs in cold storage, he said, has been attributed to the warm weather during the summer in the southern states, resulting in the production of eggs that were of a poor quality for storing.

Meat Shortage.

Waste in animal life on the farm Is said to be one cause of tbs meat shortage. ■ • - /■ ■ . $
