SPORTY TWO RIVERS.

Two Rivers is right in it in sporting
matters. There wasn't much sport in
Two Rivers until 1876 when the modern
style of base bali superseded the two
old cat style Ed Hamilton. Haskell
Fischbein, Will Hayes and other equally
incompetent players formed the first
base ball team VIII Nash was "a non
comhasant. but he was loyal to the Two
Rivers base ball team and could lie in
their behalf with delightful volubility.
Ed Nash was the manager of the Mani
him, When the Manitowocs went TO
bat it was impossible to turn the rascals
out and Ed bulldoZed the umpire to
give decisions against his own club. On
ly FIVE innings We're played when dark
ness set in. Fischbein was short stop
and he couldn't get over the two old
cat habit He always SHE'D the ball at
the base runner Indeed he hurled it at
every one that moved and it was out of
play three-fourths of the time.
Nash did not lose faith in the club and
while he could not speak in unreserved
terms of commentator of their playing
he did insist ON all occasions that it had
good material Ed Hamilton felt sort
of proud of being classed as good ma
terial' and Dragged little more than

UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.

On Friday last an accident occurred at
the Snow Flake Laundry which resulted
in the serious injury of two girls, Ber-
tina Burt and Minnie Spoentgen The
shaft on which the extractor runs broke
and burst the cast iron jacket in which
i was enclosed The extractor is a cy-
lindrical vessel, perforated and made of
copper. 1t is enclosed in a cast iron
jacket within which it revolves. It's use
is to extract moisture from clothing by
centrifugal force. 1t attains a speed of
over 1900 revolutions per minute. If
unevenly loaded with wet clothing it is
apt to rock The shaft on which it runs
is in socket in the basket This shaft
broke and the copper basket was hurled
against the enclosing jacket which it
tore to pieces and the parts were hurled
in every direction One of these struck
Miss Burt on one of her lower forearms,
causing two breaks. She was also struck
on the side and suffered injuries which
for time We're thought to be serious
Miss Spoentgen received some wounds
on the head and in other portions of her
body. They are painful but not serious
The machinery suffered considerably
though the building was not badly
wrecked. The loss to the machinery is
about 5000.

BASE BALL.

The first base bali game of the season
was played last Sunday and notwith-
standing the cold, disagreeable weather
quite large crowd was on hand to wit
ness the game and get a line on the new
team.
The champion Munzingers of Milwau-
kee were the first victims OF the local
ieall.' 5 strength for the home team was
victorious by a score of 3 to ). The Mil
waukee boys Put up an excellent game
and made the contest exciting from start
to finish. At times both teams showed
that they We're not in first class condition
and lacked the practice to put up their
best article of ball
There are few new faces in Manito-
woes line up but most of the players are
well known to Manitowoc fans. Judg-
ing from last Sundays contest Manito-
voc will have first class team and with
proper management most successful
season is predicted. All the boys have
asked is liberal patronage provided they
prove themselves worthy of it and this
spirit augurs well for the team and its
management.
APPEL, the Manitowoc pitcher, showed
remarkable form considering the cold
weather The Munzingers could do
nothing with his delivery and got but
four hits, one being credited because of
freak bound over T. Torrison's head.
Nine Munzingers struck out and in the
second he retired the side on strike outs.
Rosey made the star play of the day.
With the score to ) in the ninth and
two men on bases with two out Hug hit
the ball hard and it flew away into deep
center Rosey misjudged it at first but
by fast sprint he caught the ball above
his head in half turned position, retir-
ing the side and winning the game,
Manitowoc won by punching their hits
in the 9Th inning. Vollendorf. Gerl and
Schuette pounded out doubles and Peter
tx and W. Torrison singles. A liberal
display of errors helped matters and five
TALES crossed the plate before the side
was retired. These We're all that We're
needed and all that they got.
The Munzingers scored one i'll the fifth
on Cardes three-bagger and Tickner' S
error. They scored again in the eighth
and added final in the ninth.
The score.

AMONG FARMERS.

Cheese opened up this spring with u
good stiff price.
Crops are doing quite well throughout
the county and the prospects at present
are favorable for good harvest.
The weather for this week has not
been pleasant, but it is good growing
weather and is quite acceptable to farm
ers.
The amount of grain marketed here
the last few weeks occasions surprise.
Last years yield was greatly in excess
of what it was thought to be and an I'M
usually large quantity was carried over
the winter.
Wool brings a good price this year.
Small flocks of sheep would pay well if
it We're not for the dogs. Where the
focks are large herdsman may be EN-
ployed, but where the wool industry is
not speciality this is not possible
The pillow trust will enable the farmer
TO perceive clearly the beauties of com
bination. The whole country will soon
be in the trust business People could
knock trusts out if they would patronize
the institutions which are not members
Of trusts.
John Burns of Liberty sold his farm of
1915 acres to Charles Gems for "a, 100, in
Guiding the farm machinery and nipple
ments. He bought 40 acres in Meme of
Albert Meyer for So, 600 A big difference
in the price per acre though the land in
each farm was equally good.
The weather and crop report for the
week reports heavy frosts on Friday
night of last week in the central and
northern sections of the state. The tenn
perature for the week was from 4 to s
degrees higher than for the correspond
ing week of last year. The rains We're
liberal throughout the state.
The reports of the freezing of potatoes
last winter was one of the biggest fakes
ever invented. 1t had the desired effect
in raising fora short time the price of po-
tatoes But the reaction soon came. For
the season the price of potatoes ranged
from 30 cents to so cents per bushel An
immense amount of potatoes came into
market this spring. For the season there
were shipped from Stevens Point 300, 900
bushels of potatoes which will make a
train five miles long. These were ship
ped to every state in the union.

OUR BEST TEACHER.
Il Il Wrestling Against Opposition
That Makes Spiritual Giants
OF Wen.

Culture and character come through
suffering. Life is Gods university;
happiness is the graduating point, but
trouble and adversely are among the
chosen teachers. The world is built for
joy, but man comes to his full estate
through the tutelage of sorrow. If man
washes his eyes in tears and makes his
garments white with blood, he, too, is
promised the throne and scepter of the
higher manhood. Suffering is an al
chemist refining coarseness and trans
muting bad into good, selfshness into
sympathy. Steel is iron plus fire. Tools
are steel plus gashing axes. Statues are
marble plus the chisel, whose every
stroke makes sparks fly. Manhood is
nature plus the temptations that chisel
out character. Bronze doors of old
cathedrals are all % beaten handiwork,
and character is hammered out on the
anvil Of adversity; wine comes through
crushing of grapes, and JOY is fine
spirit oft distilled from bruised ahec-
tiOns. Sin and sclfshness dig great
burrows in the face, so suffering is sent
in to iron the lines out smooth again
From Paul to Livingstone, what heroic
leader hath worn soft raiment? What
Luther or Lincoln was reared in kings
palaces? 1t is wrestling against op-
posing winds that works toughness into
trees and gianthood into men. If the po
cts vision is ever fulfilled and we judge
the angels doing easy duty at home.
we must first, as veterans OF the old
guard, nchieve our scars and hold our
tattered flags in fierce battles upon a
far-of frontier. Optimists always. let
us not make believe and play there
are no troubles. One form of folly is
always to drag the corpse into the ban
quet another is to try and triumph
over tragedies by averting our eyes
