WITH THE BIG LEAGUERS

THE A. A. BRAND. KANSAS CITY, April 10.—The Chicago Cubs today knew the American association brand of baseball. The Blues won yesterday’s game with the big leaguers, 6 to 3. A double with the bases loaded spoiled the Cubs’ chance for a win. LOUISVILLE, April 10.—The Chicago White Sox were en route to Milwaukee today for their two last games before the opening of the season Wednesday.

BLUES ALSO IN PITCHING HOLE Like Indians, Raws All Set Except in the Box, Bv JACK HELLMAN. Kansas City Post Sports Editor. KANSAS CITY, April 10.—'“Give me two pitchers that are capable of taking their turns in the box with Evans and Horstman and I’ll show you a team that will be up there fighting all season.” Thus spoke Alex McCarthy, second baseman and manager, recently when Boss George Mueblebaeh called him into conference to learn the true strength of the Kansas City Blues. And just to illustrate the co-ordinate spirit that prevails between the office and the field, John Savage, secretary, hopped the next rattler for St. Louis in quest of the necessary material. Two days later Savage returned with the tidings that Branch Rickey would turn over to the Blues within a fortnight a pair of seasoned huriers. ONLY TWO MAINSTAYS : NOW ON STAFF. I From McCarthy’s conversation it is levtdent that Evans and Horstman aro ' the only delivery clerks that can be regarded as certainties. Johnson has shown up well in the south, but he is too inconsistent to be regarded seriously. "Jakev” Beedle, a portslder, is the most promising of the younger crop, but is sadlv lacking in experience. Guv Hoffman, leading thrower In the * Western league last year, has not yet ! reported, hence it is problematical whethjer he delivers to the satisfaction of midget Mac. Pete Henning has shown little if anything at all and will soon be the reclpi ient of a pink slip. The others have i not done enough to warrant considera- ! tion. , . i McCarthy apparently is satisfied with the rest of the makeup as it shapes up i at present. E<i Sweeney and Johnny will look aftt-r the chores behind the sticks. Brief at first McCarthy at second, Fabrique at short and Wright at third comprise the inner guardsmen. WRIGHT FILLING COCHRAN’S SHOES. Wright’s hitting and fielding have been all that could be desired and Mac doesn't ! care a rap whether George Cochran re- i : ports or not. Fabrique has been covering the short field brilliantly, and if be spanks the agate around the .250 mark I he wiil have made the fans forget all about McAuiey. The outer works, while not the strongest in the league, shapes up favorably with the other departments. A1 Platte, former Colonel, will chase j (lies in the sunfield and should not fall ■ i below the standard set by Beals Becker ; for the last three years. Becker is now playing, outlaw ball in ! the west, as is McAuiey, Grover Laud and I Cy Falkenberg. | Wilbur Good in center field ranks seci ond to nne in the league, both afield and j with the bludgeon. Miller knows how to play the difficult ! right field and is one of the hnrdest j hitters on the team. His only drawback is a weak arm. Few of the players derived any benefits from the three weeks' conditioning siege in the southwest owing to Inclement I weather encountered. McCarthy planned to put the athletes i through some strenuous paces on the ; home lot, but frigid weather kept them ! indoors. Mitchell's Cubs stopped off here en 1 route to the Windy City from the Pacific coast, -where they spent a month in training, for three games. The Millers open the A. A. season here next Wednesday.

BOWLING Indianapolis pin knights dug deep into the money pile In the fire-man and allevents division of the A. B. C. tournament, which closed at Peoria,. 111., last night.

This brings them a little something like $950. They also cut In for a $55 purse when they set up a high score for one game.

Strauss Says, with 2,728, landed 138tb place and 127. Indianapolis Rotary club, with 2,722, copped 143d place and $26.

Yankees Don’t Talk Defense; Batting Is Chief Conversation It Is Hit , Hit, Hit With Huggins' Tearn—Outfielders Slow. . i NEW YORK, April 10.—A mighty earnest aggregation of ball players is coming up from the south. They’re the New York Yankees—Babe Ruth, Carl Mays, etc. They fully intend to win the American league pennant this season. That's all they're talking about. They have nothing to say to the discredit of Tris Speaker's Spbkes, the Detroit Tigers or other rivals, but they do talk about themselves in connection with the flag. There has been talk of bad feeling on the club because of Babe Ruth and Carl Mays and the great amounts figuring in their purchases and In their contracts. If there is such a feeling existent It is well hidden. There are arguments and loud talk, temperamental displays at times on the field, but evidently they aro just the scrap oozing out of the Yankees. They look as If they were going to do some i scrapping for the old flag. Skull practices arc frequent. Huggins has ’em on the field at times. The veteran* gather around the manager and the argument waxes hot as they discuss base running. Seldom do they talk defense all attack. It is hit, hit, hit, hit with them all the time. They believe Ruth, Pecklupaugb, Lewis and possibly Baker are going to slug home the bacon. Carl Mays is pitching In wonderful style. He promises to be a second headliner with Babe Ruth. There is sufficient pitching stuff. The outfield is slow on its feet. But it can hit. The Infield is full of holes but they may be filled. The team would look better with Frank Baker present. Huggins won’t say what his infield will look like. He is saving that announcement for later on. The Yariks have a hard fight on and they know it. They have twenty-five games on the road almost at the finish of the race and that is going to he tough sledding. But they're full of fight. St, Paul Alan Is New Handball Title Holder DETROIT.

Second Davenport Not Handicapped by Foolish Ideas Held by Big Dave Claude Davenport, six feet six, 1* a brother of Dave, the eccentric hurlcr, last; yeur with the Browns. Claude is getting bis annual tryout with the San Antonio club, and this year he looks as if he might stick. “And the thing in his favor, he is not as eccentric as his brother Dave," says President Benson of the Sail Antonio club. . | Dave refused to report to Clark Griffith because he hoard that Clark Griffith wouldn’t stand for his players smoking cignrets. "That one rule bars me." Davenport is said to have explained previous to starting for Idaho, where he is Intending to plav independent baseball this season. "And all the reasoning his brother and T volunteered he refused to heed,” said Benson. Davenport was suspended last season for a row he had in the clubhouse at Rt. Louis. Ills loss hurt the Browns' 1919 chances, but seine sort of discipline had to be maintained. The Browns sold Dave to Washington, and when be wouldn’t report, Griffith sent him back. it looks as if Dave was going right ahead being eccentric to the detriment of what might be a great career as a pitcher In innjor league baseball. . ‘ Highland Golfers See Banner Season Ahead Highland Golf club committees for the cointng year have been named by President Kirk, who announced today that prospects for a banner year are In evidence everywhere.

Saturday Feature of Tlie Times HELPFUL HINTS ON POULTRY Article 4 By FREDERICK J. CRICK, Former Extension Poultry Husbandman, United States Department of Agriculture. The month of April has arrived when every one should have all incubators running to the utmost capacity, those not using Incubators set all the hens possible. The demand for poultry is greater and will be greater than before, and high prices will prevail for several years to come. Prices have been greater than even known and the supply has fallen quite short of the demand. The value of this particular industry is greater in value than the whole value of the wheat crop of twenty-eight states In one year. Only once in the last thirty years ha the value of gold been in excess of the value of eggs iu the United States. Flocks of chickens in the United States have laid over 1,750,000,000 dozens of eggs in the period of one year. The egg and meat output of the American hen is greater than all the tons of canned and fresh and salted beef; ail the tallow, all the hams and bacon, all the salted, canned and fresh pork. Sausages and sausage meat do not come within 135,000 tons of tho weight of the eggs laid during the period ot one year. These are only a few of the reasons why this Industry is greater and should be kept always In the lead. Give the chickens the best of feed ann care, for the loss of a few chicks doesn't look great, but it lessens the number of eggs and future stock which could be produced from them. Rid the chickens of lice. This Is one of the causes for a great many failures not ouly In bodily harm but the vitality of the stock is weakened and subjects your chickens to many diseases. The average persons raising chickens doesn’t realize the damage done !y these pests, so I will discuss this more thoroughly In next week's issue of The Times. ASK MR . CRICK! He Will Solve Your Poultry Problems. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Dear Sir—l have a bird which has lost Its appetite, acts sluggish, comb Is extremely pale, sort of a purple color, and has a water discharge from the vent. Would you please Inform me as to the nature of this disease and if it’s contagious. W. R- S. Hope. Ind. This disease is known as going light, and Is due to many causes. Sometimes it's due t worms in the intestines, filth in hen houses; from Improper feeding, but most often badly Infected with lice or mites. Plenty of green food is ueces sary, discontinuing the washes for a short while, puttlug bird In dry place where there is plenty of sunlight. Emmerich in one of the early battles In which tho marines fought. "Every member of the American Legion I* a sport aud a follower of the great American game. “In addition to the usual Interest that attaches to an opening game the war record of these members it the team should make us specially anxious to pull and root for it. “Many clubs and fraternal organizations are working along this same line and I feel sure that every post of the American Legion in the county will be pleased to do the same thing. "Please present this letter to your members at the first opportunity and urge one and all to bo present on the Red Letter day. the 14th. "Company, fall In! Atten-sbun!
