FACTS ABOUT THE
GIANTS AND SOX
How the Pennant Winners Size
Up For World's Series.
NEW YORK'S STRONG ATTACK.
McGraw's Team Is Better on Offense
Than Red Legs Boston Is Better
Defense Club Giants' Pitchers Have
Been Better Tested.
Now that the New York Giants have
captured the National league pennant
and Boston the American league flag.
It might be Interesting for the fans to
know some facts about these two clubs
before getting down their beta on the
world's series. At present the lied
Sox are a slight favorite, but no rea
son for that is shown in the records of
the two teams. It is likely that those
who have made the Red Sox favorite
are banking on the pitching of Joe
Wood, Buck O'Brien and Bedient Re
member, though, none of these men
has ever appeared in a world's series.
To get down to facts, the Giants
are heavier hitters than the Red Sox
and have shown themselves better run
getters, as the records will show.
On the bases the Giants are far su
perior to any club in either league.
In the last world's series the Giants
base running ability did not cut much
figure for the simple reason that they
did not get on the bases. Still, with
their hitting ability, the Giants ought
to get a great many more on the bags
this time than they did against the
Athletics.
The only department in which the
Red Sox show superiority over the
Giants, according to the official rec
ords, is In fielding.
While the Red Sox are often referred
to as sluggers. It Is very interesting to
know by the records that the Giants
are far ahead of them in long, cleanup
drives.
According to the figures, the best
base runner oh the Red Sox team is
'ft"

7 AOS STAHIi, MANAGER OP THE BOSTON
BED SOX.
Tris Speaker. He Is third. No other
Boston player is listed among the first
ten. The Giants have a monopoly on
the base stealing average in the Na
tional. In the first ten appear the
names of Doyle, Snodgrass, Devore,
Murray, Herzog and Becker.
According to these figures, the Giants
have a shade the best of the Red Sox,
so It naturally comes down to a ques
tion of pitching. Could the Giants hit
that hard against Joe Wood, Bedient
and Buck O'Brien with his spitball?
That's a question that no one can an
'swer.
On the other hand the question
arises. Can the Red Sox hit so hard
against Mathewson, Marquard and Tes
reau? Many of them have batted
against Matty, and though they lost the
opener to him they afterward gave
him a trimming. They do not seem to
fear him, but as Jimmy McAIeer said
the other day: "Any team that beats
Mathewson has to get up and dust He
always pitches an intelligent game, no
matter what is the condition of his
arm. His experience is also of immense
advantage to him."
The work of Marquard, Bedient, Tes
reau and O'Brien in a world's series is
hard to figure. Marquard has been
against the fire and has more experi
ence than the others, but he was not
successful against the Athletics.
O'Brien and Tesreau are both spitball
pitchers, and they are bound to be trou
blesome. Neither the Giants nor the
" Red Sox like to hit at spitters.
The man the Boston supporters are
depending upon to win the champion
ship is Joe Wood. There is no doubt
ing the fact that he is a wonderful
pitcher. He has a fast ball that is the
wonder of the American league, and
his slow one is a marvel. His great
change of pace is bound to wreak
havoc with any string of batters, pro
vided be does not lose his head. Wood
has been in many hard fights and
ought to be fully able $4 take -care of
himself.
A Gentle Hit.
Richard Harding Davis at a supper
In New York told a good story about a
dramatic critic. '
"The young man," Mr, Davis said,
"had roasted an actress dreadfully in
his dramatic column. He was Intro
duced to her a few days later, and she
said: " .
" 1 think It was real mean of yon to
roast me like that especially when
you know that I have three children
and a husband, who Is a dramatic

fT BALE THE HAY
By G. H. Alford, I H C Service Bureau,
Atlanta, Ga.
Baled hay is much more valuable as
a feed than loose hay, even when the
loose hay is well housed.
Loose hay carries a great quantity
of dust and often gives the farm ani
mals a severe cough while baled hay
does not
Baled hay takes up about one-fifth as
much room as loose hay and for this
reason the entire crop of baled hay
can usually be stored under cover
while loose hay must be exposed to
the weather in stocks and ricks.
Baling breaks up coarse hay so that
the stock will eat it more readily and
there is no waste in feeding baled
hay.
Baled hay is always ready for the
market It is convenient and satis
factory to handle in every way. Tt
can be hauled by team or shipped by
railroad.
Much of the tops and sides of stacks
is spoiled by the weather.
Loose hay becomes dusty and
musty. Baling hay keeps out the dust
and preserves the hay.
Baled hay retains much of the
sweet hay odor that stock relish.
There's a freshness and appetizing
quality and feed value in baled hay
that is never to be found in loose
hay.
We should hale our hay whether we
feed it on our own farms or sell it. Of
course, the market demand is for baled
hay and for baled hay only and for
this reason baling is the only way to
be sure of having a market for
It
The growing of hay and especially
leguminous hay as cowpea, soy bean,
peanut and lespedeza will rapidly in
crease the fertility of our soils, make
the raisins of good live stock profit
able and add very much to the income
on the farms.
We can buy a one-horse pull-power
hay press or we can buy a motor hay
press. For the small farmer who
bales his own hay, the one-horse pull
power hay press will prove very satis
factory and economical. With it he
can bale his hay at the time most con
venient and with a small amount of
help. For the farmer who grows large
quantities of hay or for the farmer
who bales hay for his neighbors the
two-horse pull-power or the motor hay
press is necessary.
Of course, no man can tell the exact
capacity of any hay press as this de
pends to a considerable extent upon
the kind and quality of hay being
baled, the skill of the operators, and
the speed of the team. However un
der ordinary conditions a 14x18 two
horse pull-power hay press will bale
about 8 tons per day, a 11x18 press
operated with a 3-horse power engine
will bale about 12 tons per day, a
16x18 press with a 4-horse nower en
gine about 14 tons per day, and a
17x22 press with 6-horse power en
gine 16 tons per day.
We should purchase a hay press
that has been designed for conven
ience. There should be a considerable
distance between the sweep and the
feeding table. Both of these .points
should be located at the extreme end
of the press so that the baling cham
ber may be set well into the interior
of the shed or barn andample room
be had for the revolution of the sweep
to be made outside the shed or barn.
Another advantage of the arrangement
of such a press is that the bale cham
ber may be set between two stacks
and fed from both stacks without re
setting the press. The close arrange
ment of feeding table and sweep will
not allow sufficient space for the
sweep to describe the circle necessary
to operate the press.
The reach bed should be very nar
row and should not be more than four
or five inches high to enable the
horses to walk over it without the
least trouble. When operating presses
that have a high step-over, the horses
will generally slow down, hesitate,
and ofter stumble at this point which
is annoying to the man, wearing on
the horses, and slackens the speed of
the press. -
The power construction of the press
should be such that when the horses
reach the stepover, they are pulling
practically no load. One stroke should
be completed before they reach the
step-over and the load of the next
stroke should not begin until the low
narrow stepover has been passed.
The bale chamber should be very
low so that !t is an easy matter to
reach acrow and tie the bale. " This
saves mucik tlaae and trouble as, In ty
ing the bale, It is necessary to go
around the bale chamber to the op
posite side. The press should be con
structed principally of steel and high
grade iron and should be strong and
durable. " ;
The two-horse pull-power press and
the motor baling press should have a
self-feed attachment as it increases
the capacity cf the jwess and at the
same time reduces the work of feed
ing the press. --
The hpy press is a money i"?ter
and k money sivcr end
shculd be
used on every firm.

THEY MIXED
HIM UP
By HARRY VAN AMBERG
"This is a case, gentlemen of the
jury," said the judge after biting off
the end of a plug of tobacco, "whar
the prisoner took the law into his own
hands by shootln' Tom Murphy in a
friendly game o' draw. Bill Jones,
tell the jury why yo' done it"
"We was havin' a fa'r game," said
the prisoner, "as I supposed. Thar
was fou' dollars in the pot I showed
a pa'r o' queens on tens. Tom showed
a full o' queens on sevens. Now, I'll
leave it to the jury whether any pack
o' keerds they ever see had five queens
in it"
"Do yo' rest yo' case thar?" asked
the judge. "
"I does," replied the prisoner.
"Jim Brown," said the judge, "I ap
pointed yo' the , persecutin' attorney
in this case, and" now I would like to
know what yo' got to say agin that
hon'able and manly statement"
.JThere is two sides to every ques
tion, yo' honah the side of the pris
oner and the side ag'in the prisoner.
Now, the side agin the prisoner is
this"- .
"Have I got to listen to the other
side?" asked the judge.
"Certainly, yo' honah."
"I'd ruther not do that"
"Why?"
" 'Cause I got my mind made up that
the killin o' Tom Murphy was Justi
fiable homercide. If I listen to the
other side I won't know whether I
stand on my head or my heels."
"It's the duty o' the cou't," replied
Mr. Brown, "to listen to evidence on
both sides. How yo' goin' to decide on
questions o' law without lmowln' what
yo' air talkin' about?"
"Yo' kin go on." said the judge re
luctantly. "Bill Jones," began the prosecutor,
"says that thar was two queens In his
own hand and three in Tom Murphy's
hand. How do we know, yo' honah,
but that Tom held three good queens
and the prisoner one from another
pack?"
"I tole yo' so, Mr. Brown," remarked
the judge Impatiently. "Yo' gone and
mixed me all up. What have yo' got
to say agin that argyment. Bill Jones?"
"I have to give yo' honah a fac' that
hasn't been mentioned. As soon as
Tom see that I had two queens he let
one o' his'n drap."
"Thar, now, Mr. Brown," put in the
judge, "I got it all straightened out.
Don't yo' go mix me up agin."
"Bill Jones," asked the prosecuting
attorney, "whaf did the game and the
shootin' take place?"
"In the Antlers saloon across the
street."
. "When?"
"This mornin." .
"At what table!"
"The one behind the fur end o' the
bar."
"What queen was drapped?"
"The queen o' diamonds."
"Yo' honah," turning to the judge,
"will yo' please send ovah to see if
that queen is still lyin' on the floo' ?"
"Jim Coyne, yo' go ovah, and if yo'
kin find the cyard bring it into court."
There was a hum of conversation
while the messenger was gone. Coyne
returned aud handed a card to the
judge, who looked at It with perplex
ity.
"Jim Brown," he s:iid angrily, "I tole
yo' yo' bettah leave t'other side o' this
case algpe. Yo' got it mixed up wose
'n evah. This yere cyard isn't the
queen o' diamonds. It's the queen o'
spades."
"I kin make it all plain lo yo' honor
if you'll listen to me. I aiu't a-goiu' to
argy high tpued so's the jury can't un
derstand, but plain. Bill Jones has
been a cyard sharp for twenty yeas or
mo'. Is it likely that he couldn't tell
the queen o' spades from the queen o'
diamonds?" v
"You bet he could," from the judge.
"Then isn't it plain to yo' honah and
the jury that Bill Jones has convicted
hisself o' perjury?"
"Reckon he has!" exclaimed the
judge. "What yo' got to say agin that
argyment. Bill Jones?"
"I got this, yo' bonah. Isn't it jist
as bad cheatin' to drap a queen o'
spadesas a queen o' diamonds?"
"Reckon," said the judge, blown In
the opposite direction, "yo' done right.'
,"Yo' honah," put in the prosecuting
attorney, "I hold In my hand the pack
of cyards the two were playin' with
when the killin' come off. Now, if the
queen you have belongs to this pack.
Tom Murphy, who drapped that queen
was innocent o' cheatin'. wasn't he?"
"Of co'se."
The cards were compared and were
of the same backs.'
"Mr. Brown." said the judge, "when
air yo' goin' to git through this case?
The furder yo' go the mo' yo' mix us
up."
"Yo' honah," cried the prisoner, "1
got jist one mo thing to say. Tom
Murphy drapped a cyard with $4 in
the pot Isn't that enough te show
cheatin'."
"Yes."
"Then I want to know what yo' keep
In up this trial fo. The persecutin'
attorney got yo' so mixed up yo' don'
know whar yo' stand. I reckon yo'
better dismiss the case."
"The opinion o' the cou't Is that the
killin' was justifiable, because either
one or t'other of 'em- was monkeyin"
with the cyards. In these cases in this
yere country the man that gits first
drap has the law with him. Sich bein'
my opinion. I don't want to hear noth
in mo' about it. seeln' I mought hang
an innocent man."
