SWEET CLOVER
Fred B. Smith Thinks it may Make
Great Pastures.

Fred B. Smith has become eathy-z
siastic over the kind of clover that is
known as sweet clover and is consid-.
erred generally, in the south part Of
the state where it abounds, as a nox-
ious weed. But some of the farmers
along the Missouri are finding out
that this rejected plant is a marvel
Gus forage plant possessing most nu-i
tritive properties. A farmer near
Elk Point during last season pastured
on so acres of this clover, So head Of
cattle. ten horses and $50 sheep. Mr..
Smith never saw a bunch OF sheep
that looked better.
AS a plant for "a hog pasture this
farmer had about as favorable report
TO make. e Jne time Mr., Smith
| saw this sweet clover pasture, the
sheep only were kept on it, the cattle
having been turned into the corn
lstalks. In one part Of this pasture
was plat Of luxuriant white clover
which the sheep neglected, preferring
to feed on the sweet clover. This
cloyer is q rank grower and must be
kept down to make the best pasture.
If the plant once goes to seed it dies
otherwise it grows perennially.
Mr. Smith got about peck Of this
seed and had it sowed on the Marshall
county ranch where it grew on the
the raw sod. The seed costs about
81 so for peck OF it but Isl not han
Idled by seed men. When II once gets

renovation and a new dress has been
placed upon it. The interior decora-
tions are novel and very unique, being

most up-to-date fashion. It's resem-

BRITONS TAKE THE CUP
DOHERTY BROTHERS DEFEAT OF.
PONENTS IN TENNIS MATCH.
Americans Score but One Point in
Three Days Play-Return Match
to BE I'm England.

BOSTON, Aug S.-The international tennis
trophy presented three years ago by
Dwight F. Davis of this country goes to
England through the united efforts of r..
F. and HI. L.. Doherty, who cIinched their
hold on the trophy by winning both
matches In singles to-day and scoring in
the entire contest four out of the total of
five points. Each of the two contests to-
day went a full five sets. H. L. Doherty,
the British champion, defeating William A.
Larned. the American champion, Ga. 6-S,
60, 20, 10, while his brother disposed of
r. d. Wrenn. a former American cham
pion. by a score of GA. 3-6, 6-3, 6-S, Ga.
Both matches were played on adjoining
courts and the 5000 tennis enthusiasts who
the Enclosure probably saw the
finest exhibition of tennis in the history of
the game. From the very start the excite
ment was intense. and after each match
had been squared at the end of -four sets
everyone was fairly on tiptoe until HI. l..
Doherty won a long deuce set. his match
and the net three points to obtain possession
of the cup. Still the crowd fingered to see
the American favorite, r. ID. Wrenn. finish
his contest with the elder Of the brothers.
AT one tlme II looked as If the former
tvs brilliancy proved too much for Wrenn's
resources. H. L. Doherty's marvellous abil-
lty 10 cover court undoubtedly won him the
match with Larned. although to the minds
of many an unfortunate decision at a criti-
cal stage in the last set was the cause
of the latter's failure. With the games
four-all in this last set and Larned within
one point of the ninth game, there came a
question on Doherty's second service. The
linesman failed to call. and Larned, think
ing ii a double fault, started to change
courts in the belief that the game was his.
The referee decided that the point must be
played over again. This took the snap out
of Larned's game at once, and after that
Doherty had little difficulty in winning.
This. the II. L. Doherty-Larned match, was
looked on as the feature of the day and
many clustered about this court. The ease
with which Doherty won the first set was
very discouraging to the spectators, es-
pecially as Wrenn was putting up the game
of his life on the adjoining court against
r. f. Doherty.
In the three days covering the contest
for the cup the Americans scored only one
point. and that was on default BY r. +.
Doherty, occasioned by his accident. The
cup will be placed in custody OF the Eng
lish Lawn Tennis Association. and IL is
quite probable that an American team will

effort to regain it

THE SECOND GAME.
At the close of the first game a light
shower fell that delayed the opening OF
the second contest for twenty minutes.
Lowering clouds continued to fill the skies
and Ii was doubtful at the outset IL the
game would be played. Manager Watkins
put Volz in to pitch the first contest. After
the latter had thrown three balls he was
recalled, Tom Williams taking his place
Volz complained Of having a sore arm. OPP
posing Williams was Thomas for the Mill
ers.
volz allowed Sullivan. the first batter up
for Minneapolis, to walk. Spooner cracked
popped up a fly to Volz. Mcintyre retired
the side by hitting TO Fox. who doubled
Lally at second and retiring the batter
the third inning by Williams getting a
base on balls, being advanced on Thomas's
sacrifice and scoring on Laliy's hit An
other run was procured in the fifth inning.
Jill III " Al6ll II wa aa-
vanced by Spooner, who was given a free
pass to first. Lally then drove a hard one
over Tamsett's head for a single. Thomas
scoring.
The indianapolis club began the work Of
run-getting In the second inning. Jones
hit safely, but was thrown out a moment
later when Woodruff hit to Thomas, Wood
ruff going to third when Thomas failed to
handle Marcan's bunt. Woodruff scored
while Marcan was being run down near
second. In the next inning the Hoosiers
ran away from the Millers. Tamsett began
the work by hitting safely to center. Fox
attempted to sacrifice, but Thomas missed
the ball and the runners were safe. After
Thomas threw the ball to Spooner Tamsett
dashed for third. Spooner then threw the
ball over McIntyre's head, allowing Tamsett
TO score. Fox went to- second and scored on
Hogriever's hit. Coulter singled and Hog
riever went to third. In the attempt to
catch Hogriever at third Coulter advanced
a base. Jones was unable to pick out a
good one and fouled to Yeager. Woodruff
cracked out a single, scoring Hogriever and
Coulter. Woodruff then stole and scored
when Kihm hit safely to left. Although
two hits were secured IN the last of the
fifth the Hoosiers were unable to get a
run. AT the end of the first half OF the
sixth inning Umpire Foreman ended the
game by calling 1t on account of dark
ness.
