Twas A Garrison Finish

A bunch of ball players, repre-.
senting the Audubon Y. NJ. G. A.
the Benton Bloomers and Brayto n
teams came to Extra, last Saturday,
to play a game with the Extra
Wonders at the opening of season
in Athletic Park, the downtown
grounds; with the avowed determi-
nation of winning the game, and by
jingo! for little while it looked as
if they were gong to dc it. Mayor
]. o. Howard pitched the first bail
across the home plate, Doctor w. r.
Koob, of Brayton, made a big hole
in the air trying to hit it; Umpire
Hal Mantz, of Audubon, yelled play
ball and the game was on. The
first inning the High Mixers scored
four times; made one in the second
and one in the third, while our boys
were busy gathering basket full
of goose eggs and there were broad
smiles on the faces of the visitors
and their hearts were light. We
kept on gathering eggs until the
fifth inning when three scores were
run in, and right here is where our
pitcher Basil Sargeants strong
right arm began to wag vigorously
and the High Mixers took their lit
tie basket, went out to gather goose
eggs; the smiles came out the other
corner of their mouths and their
hearts were as heavy as are the first
pan of biscuits that bride tries to
make. Both sides drew blanks till
our boys came up for the last half
of the ninth inning when they lit
onto Percy Freeman, the Brayton
pitcher; like a June bug onto flea
and when the side was declared out
three large juicy scores was chalked
on the Extra side and the game was
tied up. The High Mixers went to
bat again but went out in one two
three order and third baseman Dyer
who had not been hitting the ball
very hard all day came up, selected
curve to his liking, hit it squarely
upon the nose and when the ball
was tielded in and the dust had set
tied down Dyer was discovered
roosting on third base; Kirk Knox
was the next batter and he swatted
beauty to right center for two
bases, ran madly to first base Dyer
trotted gaily across the home base
with winning run and not soul
was out, but oh, my; what a shout
of victory rent the air;a procession
was formed headed by the Extra
Concert Band and the conquering
heroes came marching up town aa
proud as peacock. Lineup and
score by innings:

r. H. Mitchell of Nebraska has
discovered small mountain of soap.
The hill is composed of fine and
very white sand, which, when mixed
with water resembles sapolio. The
people of vicinity have been max
ing good use of the natural sapolio
for some time for variety of uses.
AS a toilet soap for the hands it is
said to be superior to any prepara-
tions used by machinists. Mr. Nit
chell thinks the sand hill can be
made into a very paying soap indus
