GOLDEN VESTS
BADLY ROUTED
Milwaukee Bowlers Take a
Brace and Roll Up Big
Score in Second Match

The Milwaukee bowling team man
aged to get into the game last night
long enough to give the champion
Golden West aggregation a beating
that was almost a disgrace. The final
score of the combat on the California
alleys was $3.50 to 1851. The Mil
waukees bowled as they never bowled
before, while the Golden West players
were not there at the critical periods.
The exhibition contest drew a full
house and lots of enthusiasm pre-
vailed, as the rival teams are old-time
opponents and each wanted the match
badly. Some excellent scores were
rolled up by several of the contestants.
Lagarde was the star of the night,
rolling 591 in the three games.
A. w. Martin, who made the big
score on the previous evening, started
out like a real breaker of records. His
first game netted him 243, the highest
individual score of the night. The fans
locked for something startling from
Martin in the following contests. but
he fell down in both, scoring 165 in
the second and $50 in the final at
tempt.
The Milwaukees got away with the
first game without apparent effort.
The Golden Vests were there with a
comeback in the following struggle
and routed the Milwaukees by nine
teen pins. This gave them confidence,
which, however, lasted only for a
minute. The Milwaukees got into the
going for fair in the final mix-up and
there was no chance for their oppo-
nents.
This evening the Milwaukees will
be pitted against an all-star team, con-
sisting of the reputed best man from
each prominent alley in the city. The
all-star team will be made up as fol-
lows: T. E. Burke, Lux. McMullen,
Aldreden and Catterman. Following
is the score:

HARRIS SIGNS NEALON
AND COMPLETES TEAM
Noted Amateur Performer Will Hold
Down First Base for the San
Francisco Nine.

The San Francisco baseball team
for the coming season was completed
yesterday when Manager Hank Har-
ris signed Flash Nealon, the artful
bush Lacquer, to cover the first sta
ton. The deal was made quietly and
after a lot of persuasion on the part
of the magnate, as James C. Nealon,
the noted athlete and father of the
young man, objected strenuously to
his sons playing professional ball.
Nealon is only 20 years old, but
plays better game than a lot of pro-
fessionals. He made quite a record
in the bush leagues last year and I'm
Gle Hank has been after him for a
long time. The youngster will need
some coaching before he can hold
down the first bag to perfection, but
he should make good, as he is a nat
ural sticker and sensational per-
former In the field.
Charley Graham came to terms
with Mike Fisher yesterday and the
Tiger manager has about filled UP his
salary list for the season. Graham
will again captain the team. He Is at
present on the lookout for promising
bushers to develop into Tigers should
the opportunity present itself.

AN ACRE OF LAND.

The possibilities connected with the
intensive cultivation Of one acre Of
land are much greater than most peo-
pie suppose. The gross return from
the average acre Of good prairie soil
in the west is not far from $40, prob
ably less than more. One acre put into
strawberries, onions, celery or early
potatoes, to be followed by a crop Of
turnips, will easily give gross return
of over $3.50 per acre Used as well
cared for small fruit and vegetable
garden for the farm home it will re-
turn any year over $780, Planted to
n late potato crop 1t will for period Of
ten years bring in over $50 per acre.
The truth is that nearly every man
has twice as much land as he can
work to advantage and depends upon
small returns from large acreage
when he could handle his business witt
more pleasure and profit if he would
try getting large returns from a small
acreage.

ONE REFORMATION.

A certain county in the central west
which for forty years had been poking
along in an old fashioned agricultural
way, raising grain to sell and in wet
seasons having much trouble to raise
any sort of crop for want of intel
ligent cooperative work in the matter
of drainage, woke up from it's pioneer
slumbers three years ago and with no
little effort got farmers institute or
ganized. AS an outcome of this re-
viyal marvellous change has come
over that community. At the winter
session of the institute this year no
hall in the county seat town would be-
gin to hold the crowds which sought
admission. Large drainage schemes
are well under way, the grade Of all do
nestle animals is being raised from the
scrub to the registered class, moss
backed old farm mortgages are being
cancelled, good homes and big red
barns are being built, seventy-fve
bushels of corn to the acre have been
placed as the easily attainable crop for
that section, and the corn growers are
all eager to reach it; the local tile fac
tory Is overrun with orders, and for the
first time In forty years the farmers of
that section are beginning to realize
what a heritage they possess in the
rich black soil on which in the past
they have toiled almost in vain to raise
good crops. The pioneer settlers al.
ways selected the dry lands, avoiding
the wet ones. The dry land fellows
have many of them worked out their
land, while the wet land men are Just
beginning to reap their long delayed
returns.
