RIM. Roll In Lively.

There was plenty of scoring in the
morning game at Oakland. The Seals did
most of it, and therefore got away with
the game. They liked the kind Jones
tossed. and every once in a while opened
up for bunch that always meant runs
San Francisco started the game by grab
hing FIVE on four hits in the first inning,
and this lead helped. The Giants were
there all the time, and with a little more
energy might have made away with the
glory. Corbett lined one over the left
field fence in the sixth, bringing in run
ahead of him. The score:

ALAMEDA CRICKETERS
PLAY A DRAW GAME
Better Fielding Might Dis
pose of the San Francisco
County Eleven.

The Alameda and the San Francisco
County cricket teams played a drawn
match yesterday on the ground at Web
ster street, Alameda The Alameda elev-
en-, lacking its captain, Harold Ward,
went to the bat first and scored the good
total Of l6S runs. the principal contribu-
tors being Wheatley (43), G. Croll 900 and
B. Bird L2s). For San Francisco County
the most successful bowler was Petersen,
who took six wickets for So runs. Rich
ardson captured two wickets for a runs.
The Alameda team would have stood
q good chance Of disposing of their OPP
pouents for a smaller total than 16S runs
had their lelders not dropped three
catches. Five wickets were down at 6
o'clock for lSe runs. and the match ended
IN a draw. The details are given below:

in the Score. The errors made by the
locals were also costly. The first three

scored on three hits. The visitors con-

SHEEPSHEAD BAY, June 18.-James
B. Bradys Oiseau will make his second
appearance of the year this week when
he goes to the post for the Swift
stakes. at seven furlongs. He is en-
titled to a liberal weight allowance.
AS he worked well on Tuesday it may
be assumed this fine colt will not dis
appoint his owner and trainer this time
Brady has, however, Welterweight, a
most capable substitute for Oiseau in
case the latter should fail. 1t is the
part of wisdom to start Oiseau in Just
such a stake as the Swift and thus
gradually key him up for higher honors
later in the year. Sysonby is engaged
in the Swift stakes, for which his
weight is 100 pounds.
Mr.. Keene has Mildmint and Won
Tromp also in the race There are at
least half a dozen who will make it an
interesting event. A j. Joyner, trainer
of Tradition, expects TO start her in
the Mermaid on Wednesday,
Her opponents will be Coy Maid In

certainty for Tradition. On Thursday
the public may be gratifed with look
at Queen of Hearts, full sister to Art

and half furlongs, with Voorhees,, Nc
Kittredge, Inquisitor, Jacobin and other
likely opponents.

RUNS AND HITS BY INNINGS.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1905-02-17
WAS GRATITUDE MISPLACED?

Senator Deliver, having read the
resolutions of the Corn Belt Meat Pro-
ducers' Association, and, perhaps, an
article or two in the agricultural and
general press, is moved to sarcasm at
the stupidity of the Iowa public in ex-
tending it's gratitude to our friends at
home for their speeches, rather than
to 'the actions of the house of repre-
ure.
The senator's scorn raises a point of
legitimate discussion for it is we'll to
analyze a bit before we accept the pub
SIC as being as stupid as the senator
seems to think it is. 1t is true that
the house of representatives possessed
the necessary authority to render eff
fective assistance to rate reform, III
it also follows that the Iowa delegation
in the house of representatives had to
be driven by public opinion before It
exhibited any disposition to give the
public what it demanded.
Because of this fact the manufact-
urers association, the corn belt asso-
citation, Henry Wallace, Governors
Cummins and Van Zant and the news
papers that made the noise at home,
which finally scared congress up to
doing its duty, are rightfully entitled
to some Of the credit for what was
DONE. Because these men volunteered
freely of their assistance, it was but
natural that they should be thanked
for their services, while congress,
which needed a %drubbing before it
would do it's duty. Just as naturally
was forgotten in the resolutions. Sem
ator Deliver, himself, was relieved of
responsibility in hat the opportunity
had not arisen for the senate to act
and some of the congressman can es-
cape thru the same exit, but it is be-
cause some of Iowa's congressman in
high places are too slow in represent
ing the. people of Iowa that the dele
cation itself is sometimes neglected.

ears, shelled them and put it thru
the planter, without testing it to see
whether it would grow or not. The
result was an uneven stand. The man
who got sixty fold took a little more
care. a few weeks before planting he
picked out the best corn and taking Il
few kernels from some of the best ea.S
he tested them TO see ii they would
terminate. He took a little more time
and care than the first man and was
rewarded in so doing.
But the farmer who received a hun
bred fold began 10 select his seed in
the fall. When he waa picking corn
he would select the best ears and put
them in u dry place way from the
frost, Then during the winter he
would take Il few grains from each ear
and test them to see if they grew. In
this Nay he got perfect seed and every
grain he planted brought forth Il:
healthy stalk from which he gathered
an hundred fold of good, ripe corn.
