RULES OF FORFEIT.
Umpire Ehret Is Due an Apology for Ills
 BIunder.

Judge Kavanaugh will now apologize to the Southern League for the mistake he made in appointing Red Ehret one of the official umpires. As judge of play, Ehret is Il huge joke.
 Never before in the history of base ball has anything like the ruling of the "oficiar' in Nashville been heard of, With Montgomery having the game well in hand, he forfeits because, first, Mike Finn would not have a spectator elected from the grandstand, not giving Ike Durrett a chance to do anything He announces that the game Is for feited, but candidly admits that he doesn't know who gets the and who gets the O.
 He had not the slightest grounds for his arbitrary action, as the following will sow:
 Rule 26 in regard to forfeited games, says: "A forfeited game shall be de- clared by the umpire in favor of the club not in fault at the request of such club in the following cases:
 Section 1. If the team of a club fail to appear upon the field. refuse to begin a game for which it Is scheduled or as- signed. within five minutes after the umpire has called play at the hour for the beginning of the game, unless such delay in appearing or in commencing the game be unavoidable.

No devils ions, however, were arrived at.

This incident Is new in baseball, and when the League fathers gather in the fall 1t will have to be decided. Until then the contest under the rules goes to the locals by a score of g to 0. The affair was loosely played by both sides, but despite this 1t was hotly contested. Nashville had a leead over the visitors of four runs until the fourth round, when by punching hits they scored three. They made the same number In the seventh through Nashvile's errors and hitting.

use as national demonstration farm

tiers on the respective projects, is the
report that comes from Washington.
The idea is a good one and meets with
the hearty approval of the reclamation
service, particularly as it mas worked
great benefit to farmers on large pro-
jects which have been built by private
enterprise under the Carey act.
The idea of the secretary is to main
tain an experimental farm on each
project, where farm and irrigation ex-
perts of his department can irrigate
lands, plant crops, and determine what
crops are best suited to the peculiar
soil and climate Of each and every
project Furthermore, these farms will
be beneficial in determining the amount
of water required for various crops,
