Hope famed up in the breast of
many fan yesterday morning when
the skies grew light and the sun
struggled to break through the
clouds. But the incipient fires were
dashed out before they had fairly
lbegun to glow by the drizzle that set
in about 10 o'clock. The precipita-
tion kept up with very short inter
missions during the day and in the
Afternoon when the double-header
with Cedar Rapids was due To start
the dreary wetness was descending
in sheets. Playing ball was just out
of the question and the disappointed
ones staid in the dry and spent the
AFTERNOON in futile discussion.
The effect of so much moisture
upon baseball has led the local man
agement to seriously consider a
plan for covering the diamond with
a tarpaulin to keep it i'm shape at
least for Sunday and holiday games.
| 1t is believed the thing can be done
with profit, taking the season
through, especially if the weather
continues to- be unusually wet. II
would require something like 1000
yards of canvas which can be bought
anywhere from > to so cents per
yard. with a substantial reduction on
la wholesale lot. 1t is figured a canvas
covering could be made and the nee
essary apparatus for pitching it so
that it would shed water furnished
at a total cost little i'm excess of
$3.50. Such an investment would
have yielded double returns on two
or three occasions this season.
Yesterday, had there been any
cessation in the rainfall, a method
never employed here would have been
used to dry the diamond. y barrel
of gasoline was taken to the Twelfth
street park and an apparatus pre-
pared with which to sprinkle it upon
the ground. 1t would have been ig
nited and the surface moisture would
have evaporated from the heat. Such
an experiment has been resorted to
in other places with entire success.
OF course the outfieId must play i'm
the mud under any arrangement. but
with little care the balls could be
kept dry on a dry diamond and the
batteries thus be enabled to do effec
tive work.

steadily for 1870 years. He was twice
married, the second time when he was
aged 100 years. The offspring Of this
marriage was a son, who apparently
inherited his fathers recipe TO- long
