When the herd begins to take off it's
coat and roll up its trousers prepara-
tory to practice, the soda-water man
sadly buttons up his shop and wanders
away. Passing wagons bump softly
over the rough places on the warrant
ed-for-ever macadam road. The few
spectators get behind something. and
the players begin to unwind them
selves. 1t is customary to rent a.
Washburn player to bat the flies. al
though some of the Elks have been
known to bat flies in a most life-like
manner. The usual system is to bat
one at Sam Lakin out in the suburbs,
and another at Hal Norton. Lakin
fired his back at the batter's assistant
and Norton fired his at F. S. Crane on
third. Then Crane throws it straight
at Jake Houses collar bone. With an
airy, graceful movement, House catches
it in the tip of his mitt, balances it
there an instant while he does a clever
double-shuffle. and then rolls it in to

Jay Morris, the oil trust, stays near
home base where he can get behind
the grandstand screen in an emergen-

cheerfully ignored by the bunch in

third bases in a wild attempt to stop
grounders and once in awhile success
crowns his efforts.

corn is larger than ever.
Perhaps the only corn cribbed along
the SaIina. & Oakley branch of the
Union Pacific is here in Menlo, and it
does the visitor good to see here Il
large crib OF corn. The lay of the
country far as the eye can reach is lev
ell as a floor, but the farmers who have
settled on them say the land is rich
as gold. And if they are satisfied and
making money the newcomer ought 70
