Liquidation Still Continues

"Promiscuous shipping of half-fat
and medium steers still continues
throughout the corn belt states," says
Rappal Bros. Il Co., of Chicago, in
letter to the STAR, and they advise as
follows:
"That an urgent demand will prevail
at this market for we'll finished western
cattle during the coming season, is be-
coming more and moro apparent day
by day. Corn values in the middle
western country have risen to point
making further feeding almost prohib-
itive, Us evidenced by the continued
liberal movement marketward. Feed
lots in the corn belt states are begin
ming to present rather empty appear
ance, prevailing prices are q half dollar
higher than they were month ago,
and it certainly needs no seer to divine
the range cattle markets future.
'The coming western season will not
only witness an era of spirited COM
petition for grass cattle possessing flesh
and quality, but also for feeders of
good quality, and values will undoubt-
edly reach high altitude, notwith.
standing that the receipts of trans
Missouri beef will be heavy. Viewed
from all standpoints the prospects for
an unusually strong demand on export
and shipping account is unusually
bright, and the dressed beef outlet also
promises to assume huge proportions
for range beeves, as there will be a
small crop of native steers, and the
limited supply will not cut very much
figure. The pendulum of time brings
its epochs of prosperity and its eras OF
depression, and rangers in general are
now due for season of profitable
prices, which is destined to come tc
pass this year.
"The southern mutton crop will fall
far below the output of former years
and this marked falling off in supplies
will insure good prices for western
sheep"

manager with the basso- profundo voice
At roar from the manager, they would
bunt, or wait from their base, or 'hit'
'em out-but it was of no avail. With
Cornelison as steady as an old plow
horse, and the field backing him up
with gilt edge support, they drew
blank for the tenth and eleventh in
nings. In the last half of the eleventh,
with the score 5 to 5, Rapid City got its
batting eye. Hanif singled, and Nc
Elroy smashed out two Dagger, ad-
vancing Haniff to third. 1t was up to
Likely Noyes to win home with the
fans. He walked up to the plate, took
death grip on his piece of Climax
and swatted the ball up in the air in
the center fields territory. just as
the center fielder made the catch,
Haniff tore home and made the win
ming run, beating the throw in by thirty
feet. The crowd executed the Omaha
dance, rushed on the field and carried
the victorious Powder River boys off
the diamond and came home perfectly
satisfied with the score and game.
"The Hot Springs boys, however,
played the game to the last, and exc
cuted elightning plays. Cheatwood
was in fine form, and was backed up by
first class fielding, the work of Driscoll
at third being exceptionally fine. Out
side of Cornelison's fine fielding and
mastery pitching, Bolmer was the star.
He accepted every chance, but one, and
that had no effect on the run getting.

got two singles and two bagger.'

to Rapid City.
The Hot Springs champions, with
Manager Keith in charge, visited Dead
wood Sunday and won the game. Re-
turning they stopped at Rapid City
and lost an eleven inning game. The
Deadwood Pioneer-Times gave good
write-up of the game from which we
extract tho following:
"The work of both teams started out
like base ball aud throughout the entire
game both organizations acquitted
themselves with much credit. The Hot
Springs team showed the work of good
practice and their team work was pref
ty. Throughout the entire game but
few errors were credited to the visitors.
In their in and out fields they had a
number of stars and with the ever pop
ular Cheatwood on first base, they made
the local team play far better game
than even their most ardent supporters
would have believed they were capable
of playing. The Deadwood boys played
great ball for having had but little
practice. Their team work at times
was a little uncertain, but several nice
plays were made, and they demonstrate
ed during the contest that with few
weeks practice they will be equal to
tho crack team from the carlsbad.
They did not play the last half of the
| :t,tb i,,,i.,p mod n
cient lead, the score closing at 10 to 6
in favor of the Hot Springs team. The
contest did not belong to either team
until tho game closed, and it was not
the fault Of the b.eachers that the
locals were not successful. The en-
thusiasts crowded out on the diamond
and made a desperate attempt to rattle
Hoye, the pitcher from the Springs, but
he was like stone wall. lie is q vet
eran IN the box and executed some very
good work throughout the game He
was batted hard by the Deadwood ag-
gregation, out his excellent support
made it almost impossible to make g
score unless home run was hit. Dris-
coll, the third baseman for the Springs
team, was one of the favorites with the
audience. He was always at his post.
The team did not como to this city mis-
represented. Every man was q ball
