China best by reason of her extensive
exports Of teas, which have found a

therefore prompted her TO make dis

The Jay a bir of brilliant plum
age, is supposed to rusticate to brim-

glorious Fourth of July.
This Fourth will be devoted, by at
least a portion of the flock, to earnest
endeavor in the Forest City, both
morning and afternoon.
Chief Squawk .Kel brought the ring
birds in last night and at once went
to roost to be ready for the first en-
deavor which will take place before
belated worms have sought places of
safety. (Kel is a firm believer in the
old axiom about the early bird, and it
was at his request that the first grand
trial takes place before the dew has
left the grass.
Two straights from the visitors
means the second round for the Path

will be made at every contestable

Con WEIGH and Grant Thatcher will
do the honors for the Pathfinders, and

work for the Jays. With these op-
posing pitchers it is safe to say that
two of the hardest fought diamond

Jacksonville. July 3.-Jacksonville
furnished a comedy Of errors in the
eleventh inning, and this with two
timely hits, won the game for the sky
scrapers with two to the good.
Jacksonville was off in her stick
work and in fielding. Rutland was
making an effort to play with a bruised
finger and it was due to his two bad
throws to first that Columbia was able
to score in two innings. Anderson was
in the box for Jacksonville at the
start, but was retired in the fifth and
Persons substituted Anderson had a
better record than did the Jackson
willie star after the hitting streak of
Columbia had raped him for enough
to win.
Engel was invincible with the ex-
ception of the fourth inning, when
Jacksonville scored two as a result of
walking three men and yielding a hit.
In that inning Engel also made a bad
throw to second base. Had Jackson
vile had the luck Columbia was ia
vored with, Engel would have yielded
four instead of two runs in the fourth.
Aside from that inning Engel vcas cool

of the game was the hitting of Gun

got five good hits. Daily hit for about
