Times that he doesn't expect to get
Holmes. because he understands that
player will be sent to East Douglass. lie
says the Reading manager writes him
that Holmes has bean farmed to Port

that the Atlantic league manager is a
party to the foul conspiracy to prevent
him (Burnham) from doing" Portland,
which Is the joy and delight of his heart,
and deprive the team here of another
player. He cites as proof of this that
Spratt has written to him saying that he
expects to be released by Portland, that
player being released outright, by Read
ing, when Holmes was said to have been
farmed. Manager Smith says by the
way that he has no intention whatever Of
relessing Spratt. That players work
has teen satisfactory.

The committees have about finished
their work and everything is in apple

good big purses attached, will draw
the sportsmen from the neighboring
towns; while a general grand good

this will be speaking by the best ora

THE NOTTINGHAM CATTLE.
A Loss of Upwards of $4,000 for
Someone.

The Nottingham cattle counted
up 500 short, about-should have
been 2100 and only 1918 could be
found. Mr. Nottingham counted
his loss through the winter at
about 300. The appraisement,
made by jim Poole, Ben Sanders
and Sam Leforce, was s27, 200. AS
the cattle cost S32, 900 this left a
deficit of s4,S00 in addition to
probably s4 ZOO for feeding them
through the winter, or a total of
sS,SO0. This Nottingham bank
ruptcy case is, in way, peculiar.
1t was probably fortunate thing
for him, but was brought about by
the failure of the M, K. q T.
Commission Co., and next by a
st. Joe bank, which had come into
possession of some of the Noting
ham notes, from the defunct COM
mission company. Had the lat
ter concern been solvent it is more
than likely Nottingham would
have been granted an extension
and perhaps have finally pulled

emptions leave him with a nine
year lease on a good piece of land |
and personal property to the
amount OF $500.

BACK FROM NEW 1EXICO.
Jim Taylor Will Engage in Stock
Raising There.

Jim Taylor, of Claremore, came
in this morning from New Mexico,
where, because of his wife's
health, he has decided to move.
He has picked out a COW ranch
near Deming and will move out
next fall with his family. Public
land is pastured, only enough be-
ing taken up, or bought, for
ranch and to hold the water, which
is got from wells, if at all. 1t costs
something like $500 to put down a
well, erect wind mill, tanks, etc.,
and one well will water from 500
to 1000 cattle. Speaking of the
Mexican emigration scheme, Mr..
Taylor said he did not want any
hing to do with Mexican govern
nent-he wanted to live under the |
stars and stripes.

AURORA PLAYS IN LUCK.
Four Runs in the Seventh Inning
Wins for the Visitors.

Yesterdays ball game was not con
sidered good cause for rejoicing among
the local sports. Being the third ant
last of series of three games, two o.
which had already been easily won by
Vinita, it went hard with the ''pro
fessionals' to be beaten by streak OF
luck on the part of an amateur team
from one-horse Missouri village.
In the first Vinita was shut out and
Aurora scored one; in the second the
visitors got goose egg and the home
team recorded two runs. No scoring
was done in the next three innings,
Vinita holding the lead by two to one.
In The sixth Aurora tied the score,
and in the seventh, by the assistance
of their captains rabbit foot and
other hoodoos of like character, sue
ceeded in landing four runs. In the
eighth Vinita had scored two runs,
had two outs and two men on bases,
with Pleas Thompson at bat, and some
hope was had that the uncanDy work
of the hoodoo might in measure be
overcome, but it wasn't. Thompson,
who is generally safe hitter, landed
a pretty fly somewhere down in the
pocket of one of the Aurora tielders,
and all hope was left on the outside.
Aurora scored one in the eighth and
again in the ninth, winning by eight
to four.
The Aurora boys went home on the
Frisco passenger last evening, pleased
with the thoughts of having won |
even the third game OF the series.
In commenting on the defeat OF
their team one of the Aurora papers
took occasion to say the Vinita team
was made up of professionals, and the
who were only amateurs,
could not hope to beat them. This
has had bad effect on the home team
the members Of which are all look
ing for proposition from some of the
eastern league managers.
