It is customary to blame the} failure of a major league club on| the manager, yet no man can win ball games unless he has the ma-/ terial to work with. That has! been the prevailing fault of the Phillies. It's Up to the Players No manager, no in a pinch or strike the batter out with the bases filled. That is up, to the ball players. “Stuffy” player in his gray mai baseball’s greatest leaders, Connie! ‘Stuffy” knows the game. He is a likable chap, and I am sure his players will give him their best efforts. But it takes more than good w es and kindly feel- ings to win ball games. Philadelphia managers in past have been handicapped in their usually futile efforts to es- cane last place. It remains to be! seen how well McInnis ¢ win! pail games with the mat 1 “at the smart, “Stuffy” fully the task that is ad. He admits that at least f clubs, possibly five, have a de- cided edge cn him. He has no visions of a first division berth, although I am sure to land one, weuld be more than ptable. imagine if he were able to finish fifth, at the top of the second di- vision, he would get all the thrills of a pennant winner. i Much the Same Club | The team that has been handed | over to MeInnis is much the same | club that finished in the cella ty on. Only in pitching will it, he materially different. ! Knowing the part efficient | pitching plays in baseball, MeIn-| nis, through the medium of several trades, has considerably changed | the personnel of his !

He knows how to pitch and how to get the ball over, two most important assets.

On the basis of the ratio of colts to horses present a it or more in the” five years may be looked for, but whether this num- ber will be sufficient to meet the needs for farming operations is problematical. A balance will un- doubtedly be struck between motor power and horse power but when that will be no one ‘as.yet seems willing to: say, On the basis of the present conditions it seems probable that horses will decrease in number faster than motor power will replace them and some advances in prices may oc- cur within a short time. © up: turn in horse prices has been noted during the past few months, While there have been advances in. id barley during the past few there is little probability of 1 further advances and next production will no doubt see ices somewhat lower a ‘actor tending to reduce the dems; for onts is the constantly decreasing’ number of horses. When it is choice between oats cash crops, ‘barley be the better. The present more favorable prices for the barley crop is due chiefly to a marked shortage in production last year. Under or- dinary conditions sufficient of these crops to meet the requirements of each farm would seem like good bus- iness. Present prices for oats are about the same as the pre-war level and barley prices are even less. a| the Worms will not bother them after that time. _ “Canadian field’ peas make feed for the month of August. ging-off corn is an economical method of finishing the ton litter ola the peas and the alfalfa pas- ure.” ood og IN BLE MALADY “So your ‘wife's down south for her health?
