such conduct, and if it is not stop

every one who rides would act with

II was sorry 10 see the league
meeting fizzle out" said Mike
OConnor, the big chief OF the Bron-
cho herd, yesterday. -" 1t was
through nothing but carelessness
that the meeting did not take
place, as there was plenty of time
in which to officially notify the
different cities. 1 would like to
see this get started as soon as pos.
sible, as l want to know where
am at before next spring rolls
around. 1 have several good offers
for next season, but am holding off
for San Antonio, as / would very
much like to stay here, this being
about the best town in the league,
and 1 believe money-maker. l
don't believe in the idea of getting
such cheap players as some people
are talking about. The people
want to see fast ball playing, and,
what's more, every city ought to
have a good ground so that play
er can put up good game"
The local craDks are beginning
to inquire as to next seasons pros
poets for San Antonio. From all
appearances the outlook seems
quite bright, as those who ought to
know say that San antonio will be
right in it when the time comes.
But there is nothing like starting
the good work early, so that when
the time has arrived San Antonio
will be in it with team of young
hustling ball players.

season begins with a team of Mex
lean ball players, uniformed on
the diamond with Mexico's nation
al colors and off the diamond with
full Mexican costumes, including
the festive somb rero. Mr.. Dix is
now looking for an advance agent
and gives preference for the job to
the ball player. He says he would
like to hear from some strictly
temperate ball player to act as ad-
vance agent in the trip, but that
no man who takes even "his tod
dy" need apply.

Glover as a Weed Ext.rm4nator.


Among its other excellent qualikes,as
an agricultural plant it is = common e1-
perience among farmers that clover Is
ono of the best e1terminators of weeds.
Airand sunshine are as necessary for the
life Of weeds as they are for cultivated
plants, and when growing together, II
one is thrifty enough to outgrow and
oxershadow the other, If not disturbed,
Il eventually takes possession of the
ground So where clover is thiokly sown
On ground naturally weedy the two year
" mowings and the shade win prove too
much for nearly all varieties of weeds,
and when the ground IS paowed for a dit
ferent crop it Will not only be enriched
from the clover, but Will be compara-
lively free from weeds. But it must not
be forgotten that Land may be 30 unfes-
tile that clover cannot be grown upon 1t
without first manurng it and putting
the soil into suitable condition for re-
ceiving the seed, while great many
kinds Of weeds have the faculty Of grow
ing ON very poor Land without any fer
tliZer whatever.
