II one allows two pounds to the acre
and twelve acres in a days work and the
Irvine trust raises the price of Irvine to 25
cents a pound, then the cost Of tieing up
the farmer will be in a position to offer 81

loss. While it is true that most would
find it more convenient and cheaper to
bind with Irvine at Is cents, yet this is
about the limit. Any higher price will
make it cheaper to bind by hand. Many
will bind by hand rathert than nav 25 cents.

A Cricket Game at the Fair Grounds

A Cricket Game at the Fair Grounds
Yesterday Afternoon.
There was a game Of cricket played at the
fair frounds yesterday afternoon between
two teams composed of members of All
Saints church and Trinity cathedral congre-
cations. Tho game was won by the All
Saints Young men, despite the fact that
Jack Prince, the champion bowler of the
world, was in the box-no, not in the box
despite the fact that he bowled for Trinity.
Cricket Is an odd game. 1t appears to be
a combination Of croquet, base ball and the
time-honored sport of our childhood, ''two-
old-cat." The ball is as hard and has no
more elasticity than a bone, while its hard
ness is equalled only by the crystalized bit
of carbon known as the diamond. The bats
resemble tailors' press boards, and with one
Of them in his hands any base bail player
could mako a base hit every time. The
pitcher, and there are two of him, is not
called a pitcher; he is a bowler. The catcher
is a wicket keeper. There are also two of
him. Instead OF right field, left center, first,
second and third basemen, there are points,
long points and short points, long slips and
short slips, long off and short of, square
legs and long legs, Il other articles too
numerous to mention.
One inning is a game. 1t generally takes
all day TO play one inning.
When one side goes TO bat they stay there
until ten men have gone out on flies, been
thrown or bowled out. Being bowled out
consists in missing the ball and having your
wicket knocked down, One never strikes
out in cricket. He can swipe away at the
ball until he gets weary; as long as his
wicket stands he is in the game. And he
Judges his own base hits. When he hits the
ball a whack he can run or not, and when he
gets started he can make as many runs as he

THE NATIONAL A
THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
Omaha 4, Milwaukee z.

BY far the best aud most interesting game
ever witnessed on the Omaha grounds was
played at the park yesterday afternoon be-
tween the Omahas and the Milwaukee team.
II was a fourteen inning contest and was
fought as stubbornly as was the battle that
sent Napoleon to st. Helena,
The Milwaukees expected to win, there
can be no doubt of that. They entered the
ground full of hope. The pranced out on the
diamond like an aggregation of bronchos.
Even the antique Sutton and the antediluviun
Schock did n little cavortinR. But they left
the field chagrined and defeated and Woe
fully afflicted with Chariie-horse.
Omaha was the first in, as usual, with
Cooney at the bat. He was hit by q pitched
ball and Immediately stole second and third.
Cleveland got a base on balls and stole Sec
ond. Strauss then came to the plate and
carved three wide gashes in the ambient at
mosphere and retired to make way for Jack
Crooks, VINO sent a long fly 10 center. Silch
nailed it all right, but before it could be
thrown In Cooney had crossed. the plate.
That ended the run-getting for'Omaha tenn
porarily, for the next seven innings were
seven ciphers long enough TO make a neck
lace.
Milwaukee began making runs in their
half Of the first. Poorman got a base on
balls and stole second. On loves out at
first he got third, and after Shock had gone
out at first scored on a single by Sutton.
That settled Milwaukee, for the time, and
their next five innings resembled a small
nest Of Plymouth Rock embryos.
But in the seventh they piled up a little
obliquy on the heads of the unprotected
Omahas. Morrissey and Silch had both
been retired when Alberts came to bat. He
had a wicked look in his still grey eye, and
his general appearance foreboded evil.
Waiting for a good ball, he stood like a statue
Of Ajax giving electricity the horse laugh,
but at last, when it did come, he whaled out
O home run that made all the fans" tired,
and the crank who sits behind the scorers
actually closed his mouth and wept a silent
tear.
The eighth inning was a blank for both
teams, but in the ninth the Omaha's tied the
score and the mercury of the Omaha enthu-
siasts' expectations went mp to the ITO notch.
Crooks, the frat man at bat didn't bat, but
his insiduous smile so ratified the Milwaukee
pitcher that he gave him his base on balls.
Crooks then stole second, Walsh went out on
game right there and brought Jack home on
O seventy-five-cent single to left field.
The crowd cachinated, howled, pirouetted
ana enjoyed themselves in divers fashions
and then settled themselves for the tenth
inning. They got it, and four more, and
never did two teams play bali with more
vim. The iniield fairly ate up base hits,
while the outfield harvested flies with great
precision and eXhileratlon. But finally the
end came. 1t was in the fourteenth inning.
Andrews led off with n good single, which
so ratified Davies that he gave Maggie a base
on balls. Canavan hit to the pitcher and
was thrown out at first, and then Clarke
Milwaukee made a good effort in their
half, but failed.

desires, provided the ball does not get In In
time to put him out. One man made five
runs yesterday on one hit, and then wasn't
retired.
And there are other points Of interest.
When a ball hits o batter in the leg and
glides off across the green sward he can
make runs until he can not rest unless some
one Knocks down his wicket. The catcher
does not wear q chest protector; the batter
wears them. He wears them on his shins,
for IL the ball hits one or the other Of those
portions of his anatomy he Is fixed for at
least two weeks. The batter also wears
gloves, on the back Of his hands. He has to,
TO protect his knuckles. That is all about
the game.
All Saints vent to bat first yesterday, and
before they retired made II runs, including
byes, leg byes and wides. Such bric-a-brac
as that all counts. Then Trinity went and
the All Saints knocked them cold. Jack
Prince bowled out on the first ball and left
in disgust, Only one man did work worth
mentioning. Here is the score:

Telegram to The BEE. Little Elmer, the
six year old son of Deputy Sheriff Melick,
was rescued from q horrible death this morn

which ran away from him and he, following

partly covered an abandoned privy vault.
The dirt gave way and he fell to the bottom
of the pit. The vault was connected with an
old creek bed and was nearly full of water
from the recent rains, A little brother of
the child heard his cries and went to his
rescue. Lying fiat upon the ground, he
reached down and caught Elmer hand, but
could not raise hin out of the water. Mars.
Pullman, who lives close by, heard the
screams Of both children and rushed to the
spot Just in time TO see the child sink. She
frantically plunged her arm into the spot
where the child had disappeared and caught
him by the hair. With a heroic effort she
landed him on the ground by her side. After
rolling the water out OF his lungs and the

Nebraska Stands Next to the Top in

Corn Prospects.
WAsH1SGToN, ID. c., August 10.-The de-
partment of a%griculture's crop report for
August makes the condition of corn 94.S,
spring wheat Sl.2, spring rye 95.4, oats 1913,
barley 90.6, buckwheat 95.2, potatoes 94.5,
hay 94.5, tobacco S4.4.
Corn has made an Improvement during
the past month Of AZ points, and now is less
than one point lower than at the same time
last year. The August return of its condition
has not stood more than one point higher
during the past nine years and the present
return mas been equalled but three times
during that period. The Improvement is
quite generally distributed throughout the
country. In a few states, especially along
the Atlantic coast, the condition has been
somewhat reduced from the excessive rain
fall and the local floods and overfiows, while
in many other districts where an improve
ment is noted, similar causes have pre-
vented full cultivation and have thus lowered
what otherwise might have been q nearly
perfect condition.
In Ohio, Michigan and Indiana the results
of tho early unfavorable meteorological con-
dltion is being overcome ana crop prospects
are rapidly improving. The drought which
IN portions of the northwest threatened crops
has been broken by rain. and the present re-
turns show a high condition in that section.
The figures for the principal corn states
are:
Ohio and Inliana 81, Illinois 80, Iowa 100,
Missouri IS, kansas l02, Nebraska 10l, Texas
90. Tennessee 9S, Kentucky 81.
The general average for seven surplus
states is 30, against 80 last month, and SO for
August, 1883 Spring wheat suffered a fur
ther falling off this month, the decline
amounting to nearly 8 points, a condition
nearly 3 points above that Of 1887 and 1 above
that of 1886. With these exceptions it is the
lowest since the very small crop of 1881.
Minnesota records some Improvement
since the last report, but in Dakota there is
Il decline from the same cause noted last
month. Dakota is now the largest spring
wheat state, and its very low condition re-
duces the general. average considerably. In
the rest of the spring wheat districts the
condition is generally good, perhaps above
the average of the recent series of years. TIL
averages in the PRINCIPAL states are: Wiscon-
Washington rs. The quality of the crop will
be better than usual, especially in the ex-
IRENE northwest.
Rye and barley each declined 1 per cent.
the falling off being mainly in Nebraska and
Dakota.
The condition OF oats, while two points
lower than reported last month. is higher
than in August of any year since 1885. In
many sections the crops suffered from heavy
rains about harvest time, and the next re-
port may show damage from this cause not
yet reported.
Potatoes have maintained their high con-
dition of a month ago and now stand one
point higher than at this date last year.
Tobacco has fallen off materially on ac-
count of the excessive rain. The averages in
the leading states are: Pennsylvania 80,
Indiana 81, Virginia so, Kentucky 81, Ohio
So, Maryland G6, Wisconsin So.
