The disappointments of the day
for the huge cosmopolitan crowds
gathered here were the usual one
of weather, which was dull and
rainy, and the usual one of the
absence of the prince of Wales
from the big race. This! absence
waa accounted for by a severe ear
ache and strict orders by the doc
tor to remain indoors. The Duke
of .York also stayed In London on
the' doctor's advice ' because he is
recuperating from a recent attack
of Influenza.
Big races in England never fall

More Productive Farms
Prospect in Southwest
DENVER The farming belt of
the United States, moving west
ward again, is expanding to in
clude in the area of great produc
tivity the region embracing West
ern Kansas, parts of Oklahoma.1
the Panhandle of Texas and East
ern New Mexico, says A. Lincoln
Fellows, irrigation engineer of
the departmen t of agriculture
with headquarters here.
Mr. Fellows has Just completed:
a survey and reached the conclu
sion that the transformation of
this area into profitable agricul
tural ' land will be accomplished
largely through the' supplement
ing of dry farming with irriga
tion. Irrigation will 'make great
strides here, he predicts, with the
largest number of Irrigation pro
jects located in the Texas Pan
handle. Older methods of dry farming
must give way to more advanced
and intensive methods under pres
sure of economic conditions, ia
hi Judgement.
"Where the farmer who first
settled the dry farming belt was
contented with a bare living and
a 'very few of the comforts of
life, the present day farmer must
have ht3 modern conveniences,
automobile and radio Included,
and must make better profits to
pay for these things." he said.

Central Press Sports Editor
TAMPA, Fla., March 20. Just a year ago I stood looking over
the Washington Senators with Clark Griffith and discussing
the makeup te the team, then preparing to retain the cham
pionship newly won.
"We're going to left hand the league to death this year if our
pitchers get going right." remarked Griffith. Pointing to "Zeb"
Zachary and George Mogridge he said: "There are two of the best
southpaws in the game when they're going good."
Griffith had then, in addition to. these two men, Duth Ruether
Just added to the staff and counted on to do his bit.' along with the
other two. Beth Griff and Harris knew when they obtained Rueth-
1 7M,i
m
mum i &
i' 'WW ;1
..M
er that he rated as an in and outer, so they withheld a decision
on him at the time.
When the 1925 campaign ended Ruether had turned in 18 vic
tories and been licked Just seven times.
Zachary had won 12 games and lost 15.
Mogridge alone had failed to render a good account of him
selfeventually being traded to St. Louis for Hank Severeld.
This spring finds Ruether the only lefthander on the team, of
big league record and caliber. Zachary departed during the win
ter for St. Louis.
WHAT'S THE ANSWER
WHICH cause one to wonder.
Why did Griffith suddenly change hii mind about Zach
ary and pin bis hopes on Ruether, who has never had two
good years in a row?
Why. with the knowledge that his southpaws played a big part
in tne winning or two pennants,
"You can't win pennant
old baseball axiom. The Senators proved, that Rood lefties play an
important part in a pennant fight. Will they prove the axiom it
self to be true this year? If Ruether fails to hit his stride they
have no one to hurl 'em from the first base line.
It Is useless to ask Harris and Griff why they disposed of Zach
ary. They answered that by acquiring Joe Bush and Outfielder
Johnny Tobin from St. Louis. They decided these two men would
help more than Zachary. "Win" Ballou, the rookie hurler tossed
into the bargain, was not counted.
.
CHANGE OF HEART MAY BE FATAL
I UNDERSTAND that Harris is counting on Joe Bush partly as a
pinch hitter this year. The venerable one is a mean man at
bat in a pinch. But why sacrifice a good lefthander to get a
pinch hitter, one asks?
There are many angles to be considered in sizing up the chances
of this team in the coming scramble but one can ask first of all If
this title change of. heart on Griff's, part has already runined the
club's chance of making It three straight pennants with the ac
companying honor and filthy lucre.
