These players were ordinarily heavy
hitters but they could not do much on
the dead diamond here. With a grass
diamond the ball is always clean and
hard and does not become soggy, dirty
and dead as on skinned diamond.
Playing is faster on a grass diamond,
which is another argument in its
favor.

Something about St. Joe's pitchers
from the News Press: OF the eight
pitchers in the local Western associa-
ton team three are known to St. 10
seph fans. They are Fair, Zackert and
Seay- Fair came to st. Joseph the lat
ctr part of last year and pitched one
or two good games with the local West
ern league club, but his work was not
such as to warrant Ducky Holmes in
signing him for his Lincoln team
Zackert pitched last year in the Sun
day league of this city. His most
notable feat was when he held his op-
ponents In one game to no hits and no
runs. Zackert in time will make
pitcher Of big league reputation. his
friends believe He is a left handler
and seems to have an unusual assort-
ment of benders. Seay was a failure
with the Western league team here last
year. He was a failure with the local
team of two years ago. If the Western
association is as fast as the Western
league, it will be a question for the
wise ones to solve If Seay makes good
with the locals. The pitchers who are
not known to the local fans are Walsh.

A woman once wrote US
that she was not going to
buy SCOTS Emulsion any
more because it cost too
much. Said she could get
some other emulsion for less
money. Penny wise and
pound foolish. SCOTS Emul-
sion costs more because it is
worth costs more to
make. We could make
SCOTS Emulsion cost less by
using less oil. Could take
less care IN making it, too.

The animal roared and bit and clawed the

him with the right and shook him on with

Jotindra promptly took advantage OF thu

Although badly wounded, the animal had
