Ny son, do you know why the state
kf Michigan was admitted into the I'm
Ton and why every old bunker with a
@ackknife continues to swear by it? It
was the pine tree business that did 1t

states with pine trees, but none like
Michigan. Nature grew that pine for
the man with the jackknife. It's soft
and slick and easy. When you want to

sunny side of the barn and white

you and your wife quarrel, sit on the

THROWS OUT GAMES
Secretary Farrell, Of tho National As.
ISOLATION, lnstructs President Peck
ham to Throw Out The Two BurI-
inaton Boone Games of May and
9. Which Burlington Won.

Because Manager Egan, of Burling-
ton, played First Baseman Gagnier, at
Boone, on May and 8, after Secretary
Farrell, Of the National Association,
had notified Egan that he had award
ed Gagnier to Ottumwa, Secretary Far
rell has instructed President Peckham
to throw out the two games In which
Gagnier played. both Of which Burl-
ington won. Ottumwa, which claimed
to own Gagnier, protested the games,
but before it did so Secretary Farrell
had awarded Gagnier to Ottumwa.
Egan played him regardless Of that
decision. Secretary Farrell, but day
or two ago. instructed President Peck
ham that the decision as made must
stand, and because Ottumwa protested
the games must be thrown out. Burl-
ington won the first, the opening game
OF the season, 2 to 4, and the second
by l to 0. The official notification Of
the ruling of Mr.. Farrell was sent to
the clubs affected, by President Peck
ham today. BY it Burlington loses two
games played and two won. and Boone
gains in standing by having taken
from 1t two games played and two lost.
The games will probably be considered
as postponed games and may be played
later, altho this point has not been
decided. Gagnier has now reported
