Of salt to the tale Of damage related
by some crop killer" as well as to
take with allowance the optimistic re-
port sent In by some correspondent
who undoubtedly vas short" of the
market. In every department OF the
science of statistics she served her
apprenticeship. She also became &C
quainted with the better classes OF
correspondents and learned those In
whom to place reliance.
Soon after the departure OF Hyde
for Europe q Arm Of New York brokers
sent q representative to Washington
and asked Mrs. Burch to take charge
of their crop reporting. The estimate
Of the cotton crop made by Mrs. Burch
last year stands out clearly as the
best issued. While some "~guesses"
IS to the total Of the yield came
somewhat nearer the mark, they were
haphazard shots that sometimes make
a bulls eye. Taking 1t state by state
for the whole belt, the lady statisti.
cian' made the best balanced estimate
of the thousands that were issued.
Although everybody thought the crop
could not possibly exceed 10000, 900,
and many placed 1t below 10000, 900.
Mrs. Burch placed it at 1o.979.0o 0 The
bureau of statistics made an estimate
of 10, 900. The actual yield Is now
admittedly a little more than 1900,
900. So Mrs. Burch came closer to the
production than her old friends in the
bureau of statistics.

GAME LOST.

The baseball team of public school
No. 1 went to New Dorp Tuesday af-
ternoon and crossed bats with the
team of public school No. IA, of
Stapleton, and we're defeated in a
seven inning game by a score of A to
2. The battery for the local team
was Bedell and Dougherty. By this
team losing this game bars them
from competing in the championship
baseball game of the other schools
in the greater city. This was the
second game they were defeated in
the series. The other team won the
two out of the three games played.
The game was a fast n and no
doubt if the boys were allowed to
play the last two innings, they would
have won out. AS it was they were
crippled by being short two of their
best players.

RARITANS WON
THE H. S. GAME
Defeated the High School Boys
by a Score of IA TO 8 Yes
terday Morning.

A number of fans watched the high
school baseball team go down to de-
feat yesterday morning on the Rari-
tan Copper Works diamond to the
tune of IA to 8 at the hands of the
crack Raritan baseball team. Both
sides tried hard to pull ahead and 1t
is a credit to the Raritans that they
won out and they feel justly proud
of it.
The game started shortly after 9
o'clock. William Hornsby pitched a
fine game for the high school boys,
but his support was so weak and rag
ged that it was useless for him to do
much. Edward Golden pitched for
the Raritans and he certainly had
them guessing by the way he threw
the ball.
The Raritans' support was of the
best and although the members of
both teams tried hard to come out
ahead it could be seer from the start
that the Raritans were too much for
the high school. Buckley, who caught
for the high school, did his best and
deserves great praise. Paugh, of
Tottenville, S. l., caught for the Rar-
itans and he is a wonder behind the
bat. Ssf& .
The high school want to play a re-
turn game with the Raritans Satur-
day afternoon, but Manager Olson
says he has all of the dates filled un-
til July 4, and that he will hold that
n open for the high school, but by
that time the high school team will
have been disbanded.
The lineup of each team was as
follows:
High School-Schultz, S.; Par
sons, 2b.; Buckley, 3D., c.; ooz, h.;
Brodhead, If, 3D.; Ellie, RI, CT;

The LEAGUE TROPHY.
Price Lists from the Different Con.
Germs Not Yet Received.

The Factory League season opens
Saturday afternoon. Chairman De-
Leon, of the cup committee, when
seen by a NEWS reporter, said that
as yet he had not received the replies
that he expected from the concern to
whom he had written in regards to
sending price lists and information in
regard to cups, but that as soon as
he did he would call a meeting.
The cup to be purchased will be a
handsome one and a trophy we'll
worth the while of any of the teams
contesting for.
The cup, as told in the NEWS,
must be won for three consecutive
seasons by one team before it be-
comes their property. This will give
the team a trophy for which to on
test for for the next few years and
will also liven things up in the base
ball line.
