Jimmy Dykes Wants Hurling Job JIMMY DYKES, the round veteran and Jack-of-all trades on the Athletics—the man who can’t be placed “wrong” on a baseball diamond—seems quite likely to go through the season of 1929 as a pitcher! It has been the ambition of the sturdy second baseman-short-stop-third baseman-first baseman-outfielder —what is be? to try his famed fast ball and his dinky curve against the big league sockers in games that are important in the pennant quest. He is in a fairway to have that ambition gratified. With what results no one knows, w rites Bill Dolan in the Philadelphia Record. The conversion of hard-hitting pitchers into infielders and outfielders is not an uncommon occurrence in baseball, but very few have made the transition from other positions to that of pitching. Bob Smith, a rather light-hitting infielder, with the Boston Braves, made the switch from a utility role to the pitching mound a couple of seasons ago with better thari fair results, and Dykes has just as good a chance to m »ke good on the knoll as Smith. The all-around Mackman, like Smith, has a fine throwing arm—one a mite better than Smith's according to ball players who are familiar with both men—and though Dykes' curve ball may leave a lot to be desired, his “hook” will improve with experience and his speed should fit in nicely in a league that specializes in fast-ball pitching. Dvkes’ search for a new position in which to exercise his talents of slugging and heaving baseballs comes as a result of the return of Joe Hauser to big league spangles. This is a happy anticipation

for Hauser, and no one is sorry about his return, but every good break must have its victim, and the corpus delicti in this instance is Jeems Dykes, who diked the hole at first base last season after the gap had cost a number of ball games. Dykes had occupied himself in his previous years of baseball hiking from second base to short to third, according to the need of the moment, and nobody, least of all Jimmy and Connie Mack, had a suspicion that the oft-shifted Infielder was a great first baseman. But good as Dykes was at a first sacker, the fans know that if Joe Hauser comes back in anything like his old-time form he will be sure to cop his job again, and the worshipers at Dykes’ feet are bemoaning their visions of his return to a utility role in balldom.

Harvard Students Favor Enlarging Big Stand Harvard undergraduates, gathered at a mass meeting at the Harvard union, voted by a large majority for the two additions proposed by the Harvard Athletic association to increase the capacity of the present stadium on Soldiers. field, Cambridge, to a seating capacity of 80,000. Voting followed a debate in which Lothrop Withington, captain of the Harvard football team in 1911. and Adolphus Marion Cheek, Harvard captain in 1926, argued in favor of the increased stadium. Harvard, with 2,200 entrants each year and a death of 500 yearly in the graduate body, needs the proposed increase, Cheek stated. Dr. William Conant of the class of ’79, asked that a new stadium of 150,000 seats be erected instead of the planned increase to the present stadium.

BASEBALL JI NOTES O Pitcher Don Andrews of Chicago was elected captain of the University of Illinois’ 1929 baseball team. • • * Wilcey Moore hasn’t been of much help to the New York Yankees this season, and the reason is a sore arm. « * • But then George Bernard Shaw says he doesn’t know Ruth. The Bam, it might be said, doesn't know Mr. Shaw, either. '• * • Hugo Lindquist, captain of the Illinois Wesleyan baseball and basket ball teams, has been signed by the St. Louis Cardinals. • « • Jack Slattery, who was recently deposed as manager of the Boston Braves in favor of Rogers Hornsby, has sailed for Europe. • * • “Wild Bill” Affleck, dean of Pacific coast umpires, will officiate at all games played in the Pomono (Calif.) Night Baseball association this year. • * * Ossie Bluege, Washington infielder, has a brother who may make the big leagues some day. At the present Otto is in the Trans-Mississippi * • • Archie Yelle, veteran catcher, was appointed acting manager of the Des Moines Western league baseball team, following the resignation of L. J. (Danny) Boone, infielder. • « • Clarence Allen, promising Baltimore Oriole pitching prospect, was a southpaw when a lad, but his left arm was broken in a fall from a tree and he became a right-hand thrower. • * • Eddie Kenna, catcher for the Minneapolis American association club, has been traded to the Washington Americans for three players—Shortstop Gillis, Catcher McMullen, and Pitcher Van Alstyne. • * • The largest dog in the world is claimed by Bill Strother of Los Angeles. Ilak, 80 per cent polar white wolf and 20 per cent Alaskan husky, weighs 195 pounds and stands 34 inches high to his shoulders. * • • The Tigers are gypped all around in trades. They got Easterling from Seattle in exchange for Ruble. The former has slumped in his hitting, while Ruble is leading the Coast league in swatting for the Seals. • • • Lester Bell, Braves’ third sacker, came within one of tying Rogers Hornsby’s National league record for total bases in a game on June 2. Bell hit for 15 bases in five times at bat, three of his blows being home runs. • • • Bill Miller, a Chicago semipro who went South with the Reds this spring and was released, was picked up when the Reds were in the Windy city. Owing to the indisposition of Fred Lucas and Adolfo Luque, Manager Hendricks figured Miller would help by pitching to the hitters, if of no other use. • • • One might ask why they attempt outdoor sports at all in the New England section. The Eastern league, starting late in April, had 50 games postponed by June 1, because of bad weather. The result is a revised which calls for double-head-ers practically all playing days in June and July. But who can tell what the weather may be in the eastern territory in June and July? Baseball has supplanted wrestling as the national sport of Japan. • * • Wiley Moore, big part-time man of the Yankees, has a lame arm and the relief pitching necessary has been intrusted to other members of the staff. As yet, there is no reason to be alarmed about the state of Wiley’s whip, cold apparently having settled in the elbow. Meanwhile, the saying that one man’s poison is another man’s meat holds good. The disabllitly of Moore reacted to the benefit of Al Shealy.

CUYLEK NCi TO TRAVEL WITH Owner Wrigley Looks to Kiki for Needed Punch. Hazen (“Kiki”) Cuyler, bench warmer and bad boy of the Pirates, is going great guns with the Chicago Cubs. Owner William Wrigley .and Man-‘ ager Joe McCarthy look to this slender,. fleet-footed brunette of twentynine for the punch to put them across ' ahead of the field in the National league pennant chase. ‘•That Kiki Cuyler is some boy, some boy,” said Wrigley. “Hit? You bet he can. Hard to get along with? I never saw a more amiable player. He is fighting for the Cubs all the time. He is helping the rookies and he is going to give us the pennant this year, or remiss my guess by a mite.” Kiki has been in professional baseball only eight years, but in that time he has experienced the sorrows and joys that many of the game's oldest veterans never realize. has been sent back to the “farm” three times after a major league start; he has hit his way to land among that, small coterie of the game's best sluggers, he has been benched for insubordination and has been traded down the river. Lhst season Cuyler was benched by the Pirates when he had a fuss with Donie Bush and Barney Dreyfuss. While many critics, including John McGraw of the Giants, believed Kiki was through, that his batting weakness had been discovered and that being hit by a pitched ball had made him bat shy, he has made good with the Cubs in startling fashion and seemingly rejuvenated them. Most Peculiar Home Runs Made by Oklahoma Player One of the most peculiar home runs ever m:ule came in a game between Salina, and Bartlesville, Okla., a few years ago. Bartlesville had a big 6foot 7-inch fielder named Murphy. The game was halted by rain in the fifth inning and the grass was wet when play was resumed. One of the Salina players hit a rolling drive into left. It shouldn’t have been good for more than a double. The tall Murphy chased the ball to the fence, stooped down and picked it up, straightened up to his full height to make the throw-in. He was very close to the fence at the time and he was so tall that his hand, when he drew back to throw, was above the edge of the fence. The ball was wet from rolling through the grass and it slipped out of Murphy’s fingers as he tried to throw and dropped over the fence for a homer. Mike Cleary and Denny Kelliher Hard Hitters Jim Corbett was once asked whom he regarded as the hardest hitter he ever faced, Fitzsimmons, Choynski, Jeffries or Jackson, and Corbett replied : He claims the hardest hitters of all time were Mike Cleary and Denny Kelliher. Few people have ever heard of either man but Corbett says Cleary was the hardest natural hitter that ever crashed a fist against an opponent. Kelliher, he says, could knock a man stiff with a three-inch punch. “They could make all the other hitters in boxing look like powder puffs,” added Corbett. <3 Goslin Picks Pipgras as Best in American League “Goose" Goslin, the slugging outfielder of the Senators, says “Big George” Pipgras of the Yankees is the best pitcher in the American league. “That boy Pipgras,” declared Goslin, “is the best pitcher in the league and should have a big year with the Yankees. He throws a fast one that is really fast and almost impossible to hit. His fast ball sails and you can’t get a good hold of it. At the end of last season he was almost unbeatable.” Sure for Olympics rZ; ■ An. *"**rwW r" ? ■ Hr * iiWW • B e j JOk r 1,. ?

Get Big League Offers Two University of Chicago baseball players have been offered tryouts with major league dubs. Pittsburgh and Brooklyn think Capt. Kyle Anderson, a second baseman, is worth signing, while the Dodgers have offered Priess, outfielder and leading hitter of the Western conference, a tryout at the end of the Big Ten season. Priess may stay in school as he has another year of football competition. Chicago finished in the second division* in the Big Ten.

Plenty Pasture Need of Geese Can Be Profitably Raised in All Parts of the United States. i (Prepare* be the United Statea Department of Agriculture.! Abundant pasture of a sort that is , tender and remains green for a long period is the most economical basis for the raising of geese. A stream or pond, or even tanks of water may serve for the aquatic needs ol the birds, and shelter may be reduced to a minimum. In -the South none is required and in the North a simple shed open to the south is sufficient. Geese can be raised successfully and profitably in all parts of the United States, but are more abundant in the Middle West and the South. In 1920' Illinois with nearly 200.000 geese closely followed by Missouri, Arkansas and lowa led in production of geese. Kentucky, Tennessee, Minnesota. North Carolina and Texas fol- , lowed, but this group of states was much behind the four leaders. Closest Grazers. “Geese subsist largely on grass during the growing season and are the closest of grazers.” says Alfred R. Lee, author of Farmers’ Bulletin 767F, “Goose Raising,” just .published in a revised edition by the United States Department of Agriculture. Geese grow to much heavier weights than j chickens, but the price per pound on the markets is usually several cents less than for chickens. Some of the geese are sold from the farms to specialists in the fattening of the birds, i and then go to market, largely in the . cities where foreign population cre- ■ ates a demand. Principal Breeds. The bulletin describes the principal breeds of geese fcund in the. United States, the Toulouse, Emden, African, Chinese, Wild or Canadian and Egyptian. It gives directions for housing, selection and mating, incubation, 6 care and feeding of the goslings, and preparation of stock for market. An acre of grass will supply nearly if not all the food for from four to twenty-five geese, with perhaps ten to an acre as an average. In the South some cotton growers keep geese for the sake of their aid in keeping down weeds in cotton fields. Farmers' Bulletin 7G7-F may be obtained free upon request to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Agent Must Account on . Basis of Actual Sales Produce agents in all instances should account to shippers on the basis < of prices actually received in good ’ faith from third persons, deciares the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agriculture, in response to inquiries regarding this particular accounting feature under the Produce Agency act The bureau bases its position on the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States, as well as the state courts, have held that an agent to sell cannot sell to himself. The point has been raised as to whether an agent who is making sales on track, charging therefor a commission of, say, 7 per cent, and who takes part of the contents of the car to his own store for sale, must account on the basis of the price received through the store, or may account on the basis of the price received on track. : Obviously, under the policy outlined above, the bureau says, the agent must make his returns on the basis of the price received for sales through tne store for the portion so sold, while returning on the basis of track p>-ice for the'portion actually sold on track. The bureau points out that this does not compel produce commission merchants to handle produce through their stores at 7 per cent, or whatever the track sales commission may be, but that such merchants are entitled to the commission that is usual and proper for sales made through the store. 11 Agricultural Squibs t A hen usually lays eggs like the one she was batched from. • • • Nothing justifies* feeding complex mineral mixtures to cattle all the time. • « • Most cream separators will do a much better job of skimming the milk when it is warm • • • Beginning the first week, provide green feed for young chicks, or, best of all. let them pick their own green food on the range.

When the junior) club member feeds his calf, the time} that he spends in petting it a littlei is not lost time. ’ Fatten Fowls Rapidly 'J To fatten fowls rapidly, keep themi in rather small coops where they can-| I not take much exercise. Keep the; coops darkened by covering them with, old cloths This will keep the chickens from moving around In the coops.| Give them soft food that can be easily digested—cornmeal mashes, ground oats or tallow has been mixed. This, with plenty of pure water, will fatten them in eight to ten days.
