But part of the story of the Braves of 1914 goes back to the spring training program of that year in the South—to a pair of great com petitors. possibly the greatest that ever wore apiked shoes. Their names were Muranville and Evers, the Rabbit and the Crab. Heading north that year. I stopped off for a few days at the Braves camp in March. The main idea was to call on a few old friends, such as Hank Gowdy, Johnny Evers and Rabbit Muranville. Intending to spend only a duy or so, 1 hung around longer, for it was the most interesting camp I had run across. In an exhibition game that after noon, Evers and M aranvillr collided at second base, each trying to cover the bag. Both seemed to be badly Jolted, but neither gave any sign ol being hurt. I notlred Maranville, a few min utes later, looking (or some lost ob ject around second base, “ What were you looking for?” I asked the Rabbit In the dugout later. Phenothiazine Will Kill Nodular Worms Common Insect of Hogs Present on Most Farms You’ve heard so much about swine roundworms thut you may think they are the only internal par asites thut cause hog losses. If so, you're wrong You’re overlooking the nodular worm. The USDA says the nodular worm Is pcrhnps the most common worm purusite of swine, and that in some states, procticully all hugs raised under ordinary conditions mny be infected. Research workers in animal para sitology ure beginning to suspect that nodular worm injury to hogs is far greater than was heretofore believed.

He gave no sign of being hurt, as he grinned and started for first base. They Could Take It Another member of the Braves was hit, and he also showed no sign of any trouble, although he carried a lump above his elbow. Here, outside of the genial Hank Gowdy, was a rather snarling, tough group, without too much ability. The team had Dick Rudolph, George Tyler and B ill James pitch- Ing, but they had never looked like Johnson, Alexander and Mathew- son. or Feller, Newhouse, Shea and Blackwell. As far as one could see here was a ball club that might finish sixth or seventh—or even eighth. The squad, that week, had shown no power at all. Only some pretty fair pitching. That night, Maranville told me what was taking place. “I lost two teeth,” he said, “ and I never blinked. Two men 'were hit, and they never rubbed their arms. We've made a rule on thia club that nobody can show he has been hurt, not even If he gets a concussion, not even If he gets his block knocked off. Don't tlih.k los ing two teeth was any fun. It hurt. But I never let anyone know It. 1 like that brand of ba*-eball. Don't ever let ’em know you ve been hurt.” , ! ; j weak and teur easily, and this de stroys their value for use as cas ings. These losses, of course, are passed along to the hog raiser in the form of lower prices. Hogs entertain four species of nodulur worms. The nodular worm gets to be only about a half inch long, hence Is not as readily seen us the roundworm, which gets to be as thick as a lead pencil and more than a foot long. Hog raisers see ing roundworms mny blame them for trouble caused by the smaller, harder-to-see nodular worms. Phenothiazine is the only effective remedy for removing nodulur worms. It destroys more than 90 j>er cent of them. Phenothiazine Is easily given in feed—in fact, that is the safest way for a hog raiser to administer it. Considerable success has been at tained in Australia using a horn-fly trap constructed tn a gateway or lane through which the cattle must pass once or twice a day. The pas sageway through the trap is 33 inches wide and 100 feet long. The glass in the roof is coated on the inside with DDT and protected from the cattle by coarse screen The Victory Drive I lost considerable interest in this M aranville philosophy when the Braves were last on July 4. 15 games away from the first place. “ What about it now?” I said to I the Rabbit, about that time. “ Just warming up,” he said. "Just warming up. Watch us in the stretch.” It was from late July on that the Braves, headed by the driving force of George Stallings, a great man ager, a fighter from every known angle, plus Rudolph, Tyler and James, went to work. Stallings told me later he lost four pairs of trousers sliding up and down the bench. " I was full of | bench splinters,” he said. Dick Rudolph was one of the best, and one of the smartest pitchers in baseball history. Tyler and James came to his help. Day after day you got this refrain—“ Rudolph, Ty ler and James." They caught the Giants In the stretch, picked up 15 games on one of McGraw’s good teams, and then wrecked the Athletics In four straight in the world series. And all the Athletics had was Bender and Plank and Bush, Col lins, McInnis, Baker, Barry and what looked to be one of the great teams of all time—a team that had won four pennants in five years. It wasn't even a contest. Southworth's Team Now the Braves of 1947, Just 33 years later, under the able direc tion of Billy Southworth, another great manager, are among the teams to beat. These Braves are a much better ball club than the Braves of 1914. But, whether or not they can show the same amount of iron in their systems as this miracle squad offered against a for lorn hope, is another guess. It isn’ t often that any team has a M aranville and an Evers on the same squad, two blazing spots of flame. Type of cattle horn-fly trap rec ommended by Macdonald college. wire.

Anaplasmosis Gains Foothold on Range Anaplasmosis is a febrile, Infec tious disease, transmitted from sick or carrier cattle or by ticks, horse flies and other biting insects. Young animals are seldom affected. The treatment is still in the ex perimental stage and is largely a veterinary problem. Animals af flicted with the malady should be kept in the shade, given plenty of clean water, a little green feed, and protected against flies. Intro- venous injection of mercurochrome has been used with success as well as a modified sodium-cacodylate treatment. Remedy for RIack Rot Disease Among Grapes Use of bordeau m ixture 4-4-100 plus one pound of rosin fish oil soap per 100 gallons of spray m ixture is recommended for those vineyards where black rot and downy mildew have been serious. This spray is applied just before bloom, just after bloom and two weeks after bloom. If rainfall is above normal, it may be necessaary to make a fourth application two weeks after the third treatment.
