J Vean Gregg. The open season for baseball stars in retirement to come out is about closed. And it has gone by with Vean Gregg, great southpaw, still resisting the call. Vean, this spring, has turned down seveal tempting offers from Seattle of the Pacific Coast league to pitch. "No, thanks; I finally got out of the game and I stay out," replied Gregg to every inducement. When the Cleveland club signed Vean Gregg several years ago, after his record-breaking hurling on the Pacific coast, he was justly heralded as the best southpaw "find" in years.
And for a couple of seasons in the big show he earned the title of "the best southpaw, in the big show today." But he did not last. And the main reason, it is generally conceded, was the lack of heart for the limelight. All- the while Vean was in the minors and the majors he would rather have been back home in Oregon, working daily at his trade of plastering. "The tall plasterer," as the fans of course dubbed him, couldn't see hotel life and traveling. The home life and the farm appealed to him mora He liked to be, also, where he could pick up a rifle at any time and blaze away at some mark game or target. I recall the day that Vean was practicing in the Cleveland ball yard when a vaudeville sharpshooter entered the park with his rifles to pull off a publicity stunt by shooting a ball on the wing. Vean forgot all about limbering up. He started to buzz the actorshooter and inside ten minutes was Showing the gentleman how to shoot. Gregg was born in Chehalis, Ore., in 1886. He first played pro ball with Spokane in the Northwestern league in 1909. His sensational showing caused Portland to buy his release that fall. The next year he set the baseball world on fire. For one thing he hung up a world's strikeout record of 367 strikeouts in 395 innings. He averaged 8.34 strikeouts a game for 44 contests. The Cleveland club at that time had business relations with the Portland club ana" purchased the tall plasterer for $4,000. For two or three seasons he ehown in Cleveland, ranking as the best southpaw In the game at one time. Then his arm grew sore. In July, 1914, he was traded to the Red Sox. The change failed to revive his
arm, however, and he was sent to the International league. He tried a come back with the Sox later and than drifted back to the coast.
Earlham Track Men Ready For Meet at Terre Haute State critics have picked Earlham to cop the I. C. A. L. track meet at Terre Haute Saturday afternoon. The performance of Earlham in winning three track meets and losing one by only two points i3 the reason for the
dope. Coach Mowe, of Earlham, is not as enthusiastic, however. His team's weakness in the dash events, coupled with competition from Butler and Franklin in distance runs, leads Mowe
to believe a close meet is forthcoming. The Quaker monitor took ,13 men to Terre Haute Friday afternoon. A light workout was held there late Friday to accustom the Quakers to all angles of the Rose Poly field. Those making the trip are: Ivey, Lawler. Johnson, Carey, Dalton, Tomlinson, Chambers, Carter, Teal, Delph, Graffis, Whiteley and Fauquher. Quakers Are Off For Mancie The Earlham baseball aggregation left for Muncie Saturday morning for the return scrap with the Normal school of that city Saturday afternoon. Muncie won an early 3 to 8 game from
the Quakers. Coach Echols of high school accompanied the squad as Coaches Mowe and Highins accompanied the track team to Terre Haute.

WALLACE TO BOX OLSEN Bud Wallace, Richmond welterweight scrapper, will box ten rounds to a decision with Kid Olsen, of the Superior Shows of the Moose Carnival at the carnival grounds Saturday night. The winner of the scrap will take all the gate receipts. Wallace will weigh in at 150 pounds, while Olsen fights at 158 pounds. ,
DRULEY KNOCKED OUT Yank Druley, Centerville welterweight,, received his first set-back since leaving the army when knocked out by Young Webb in the last round of an eight round bout at Dayton Friday night. The main fight of the evening between Battling Levinsky and Chuck Wiggans, resulted in a draw.
"Comparing the present prices of whole milk and butterfat," said Robert E. Whiteman, living on the Chester pike, "I "lost about $5 on my milk in the past two weeks. Have been selling the milk instead of the cream, as a tryout. For example, .the milk from
three cows brought me $20.05 for the past wo weeks, which was 60 cents Ipss thanthe cream alone was worth at current prices. On top of that I lost 700 pounds of skim milk. Even at 60 cents per hundred, a low figure this would have been worth $4.20. Some have estimated that 100 pounds of skim milk, fed to young hogs, is pqual to one-half bushel of corn in food value, thouah I haven't figured that hut for myself." Mr. Whiteman says he can't afford to sell his milk at present prices; bran and middlings being entirely too high. He says that midlings advanced $5 per ton the day that Richmond milk oistributors cut the price of milk. A Lucky Breakdown. C. D. Thomason. who owns a farm
near Whitewater, says he owes the splendid condition of his 30-acre wheat field to the breaking of his grain drill last fall, delaying the seeding for about 10 days. The fly didn't get his wheat, while those who planted early lost out, at least ia part. Harry Robertson, who is running the Thomason farm, said he was to plant better than 30 acres of corn and up to Friday morning none had been put in. He said that oats and rape are showing up well. Got $14 For His Hogs. Charles F. Williams, living south on the Liberty pike, says that he sold 33 hogs in Richmond on Monday, averaging 232 pounds, at $14. Mr. Williams says that 25 acres of the 50 sown to wheat on the last of September is looking very fair and that part
of the balance has been disked in with barley. He claims that barley has a heavier protein content. than oat3 and that when ground makes a better ration. Up to Friday morning he says that they had in but 12 acres of corn

Outlook For Wool Pool. Theodore Davis, president of the Wayne county federation, spent three days at federation headquarters at Indianapolis this week. He says they had a most interesting session and much business of importance was discussed. Mr. Davis is a member of the Wool Pool committee. Mr. Davis says that the formation of a wool pool is almost a certainty, in his view. Earl Crawford, of Milton, chairman of th committee, has also been in Indianapolis most of the week.
General Wool Meeting Is Postponed to Next The wool pool meeting which was set for this Saturday night has been postponed until ' even ing. May 29. The meeting was deferred because of the fact that bids are to be submitted by eastern wool buyers to the wool pools in the sixth district at Muncie tonight, and County Agent Murphy will attend the meeting, in
order to represent Wayne county
and was going to rush another
acres along. Said, tOO, that the Season I srrnwprs nnil tn lni fheir litolnalnn

Thes,e bids will be presented for consideration of Wayne farmers at the coming meeting. After reaching a decision as to the bids from eastern buyers, details covering the place when wool deliveries are to be made, etc, will be worked out.

NEW ATHLETIC LEAGUE IS PLAN FOR INDIANA SCHOOLS To meet the need of new athletic league, since the withdrawal of Wabash from the I. C. A. L., tentative plans for a league composed of Wabash, Michigan, Aggies, Knox, Butler, DePauw and Valpariaso, have been drawn up by the athletic authorities In these institutions, Earlham authorities heard Saturday. All of these Institutions have shown that they were anxious to become members of the proposed circuit, and although nothing definite has been done yet, a meeting of. representatives from all these schools,, and possibly one or two more, will be held at Ann Arbor. Mich., on June 4, the day before the conference track and field meet. In selecting these schools for tenta-
I tive members of the new circuit par- ; t!cular attention was paid to the ques
tion or whether or not the towns in which these schools are located will support college athletics. The indications that the league will be well enough supported to be successful are very bright.

CORN MEN PROVIDE FOR BETTER SUPPLY OF SEED Provision for better supplies of highquaUty seeds Is the object of the Indiana Corn Growers' association in offering to insppct and certify seeds produced and offered for sale by Hoosier farmers, is the statement of the committee on seed certification. Investigation shows that Indiana is
behind other states in this respect and it is hoped that the plan of inspection and certification will eventually bring improved seeds to every farm. It is not expected that a large number of farmers will go into the business of pure seed production, but it is hoped that at least one source of high grade seed will be established In every community. Thirty-one general conditions have been incorporated in the plan to stabilize the certification and inspec-
Heavy Rains and Frost Are Week's Curriculum The following summary of -weather and crop conditions in Indian?, for the week ending May 18 is issued from the weather bureau, Indianapolis, department of agriculture, J. H. Armington, Meteorologist: Heavy 'rains marked the beginning and closing days of the week, while frosts or freezing temperatures occurred in most sections on Friday and Saturday. The mean temperature showed a deficiency of 9 degrees, while rainfall average nearly 2 inches of the normal for the week. Although at the beginning of the week moisture was needed in many places to 6often the
surface soil, which, had become crusted, the precipitation was bo heavy as to further delay plowing and planting of corn, potatoes, truck, etc., which made only slow progress, at best. On the other band, while vegetation made only slow growth under the cool weather, oats, rye, clover, meadows and pastures continued to improve in condition. Wheat showed considerable improvement In most localities, and the crop is reported as fair in the majority of places in the central and adjoining counties but the conditions are still poor in most places In the extreme northern and extreme southern aection.
