BASEBALL. CHAT.

As they say on the race track a
blanket would now cover the leaders in
the race for the pennant. The Bostons
are still In the van, with the Baltimores
only seven points behind and the New
Works nine points In the rear of the
Orioles. Through the clever playing Of
the st. Louis team yesterday the leaders
were beautifully whipped. and they were
pushed back uncomfortab.y close to Bal
timore and New York. Very otter the
tai.-end teams have an annoying habit
of turning to and giving the leaders a
merry walloping. Under the circum-
stances such "a prevail just now, these
things upset the incest calculations and
add to the excitement and interest of the
game. Any little thing that st. Louis
may do to the Bostons to haul them still
further away from the lead, OF course,
would he gratefully appreciated by Bal
timore and New York The Giants make

Weather Crop Bulletin.
Central once. Columbia. Mo.

During the week ending Saturday
April 14th, the weather was much
more favorable for growing crops
than during the week proceeding, but
too cool for vegetation to make
much advancement. The rainfall,
considered for the state at large,
was in excess OF the normal, but was
not well distributed. The greater
portion of rainfall during the week
occurred on the Sth and 9th and in
most sections was sufficient to
greatly improve the condition OF
wheat, oats and grasses. Light
showers also occurred on the 14th.
The temperature was below nor
NAL. Frosts occurred on the 10th,
|11th, 18th and 18th bot little
damage is reported.
Wheat is recovering slowly and
looks fairly well in, most counties.
Early sown wheat suffered most
from the freezing weather in March.
In a lev unties some wheat has
been ploved up and the ground pre-
pared for corn.
The greater portion of the oats
sown early in March were killed and
have been resown or the ground
plowed for corn Late sown oats
are growing slowly.
In the northern portion of the
state farmers have been busily en-
gagged in preparing corn ground and
some have commenced planting. In
the central and southern counties
planting is we'll in hand. The acre
age of corn will be somewhat in
creased by the planting of fields pre-
viously seeded in oats.
Grasses are improving slowly and
etock has been put on pasture in
some sections. Considerable clover
and timothy has been resown.
Gardens are backward. Many
potatoes have been replsnted.
; Fruit prospects are much better
'thsh they were a week ago. Cher
ries, apples, pears and plums are in
bloom. Peaches are about allkiiled.
Cotton L.anting has commenced in
New Madrid county.
The present week has opened with
conditions more favorable to crop
growth and il the warm weather
continues vegetation will make rap
id advancement.
