failure to follow the pace set by the
leaders during the past week has given
the New. Ravens q lead that can now
hardly be overcome provided the latter
continue in anywhere near the form
they have displayed the past two
months. During that period the lead
ers have won 30 games, lost ID, and
tied 2, rate of five victories out of
every seven games played. Spring

rate of out of IL. Springfield has
played off its entire schedule within
two games, while New Haven has
seven games postponed and tied.
Should New Haven decide not TO play

should win a bare majority of its re-
naming % games. it's standing at the
finish would be: Won 81, lost s43, per

port should take notion to run into
the top place, it would have to play off
all its postponed and regular scheduled
games and win "a out of the 81. There
is, therefore, little chance for Bridge
port to finish better than third.
As both leaders will make strenuous
efforts to have every game count, it is
probable that their full list of 112
games will be played. This leaves SO
for New Haven and 81 for Springfield

THE FROG INDUSTRY
SPIRIT LAKE.

There has been money in frog
legs marketed this fall. Big wages
have been made by men, women
and children, a the aggregate re-
cipts from this source hes not been
less..than three Thousand dollars. -.
Spirit Lake Beacon:
This is a great industry at Spirit
Lake and the people up there have
become very expert frog catchers.
J It is pastine with old nd young
and the common s;llutation is How
many frogs this morning. Every
body catches frogs and it has taught
them to he very nimble. They pay
their preacher in frogs legs, as they
are legal tender at cent a leice.
They string the legs like dried
APPLES and sell them at 50 much
Der yard. The minister got s rolls
of them on salary this year at =
cents yard. They have turned their
bustles into frog baskets and the
pitchforks into spears. It has been
a good year for their farmers too
although the weather caught their
corn their polywog crop was good
and their frog crop .ripened without
accident.
When it is too wet for oats and corn
they always plant tadpoles at Spirit
Lake. Frost won't kill them an d
bugs won't eat them, and the
money sharks can't get them on a
mortgage. When they figure shillings
instead of saving 12 and a half cents
they say Is frs legs and a tadpole.
Distance is counted tue SINE way.
A block is forty frog Jumi~ or
52S jumps to the mile. Tho is
also measured the same way, 10,
seconds is frog hop or 6 hops to
the minute. Ask a young lady when
church begins and she will say 80
frog hops after ten. The church
stands sixty frog hops from Main
street and the spire is4 frog hops
and 9 polly wiggles high. Every
body figures wages and prices in
frog logs and even the kids are
becoming young tadpoleons OF
