BASEBALL NOTES.

The seasons series is over be- tween the New Yorks and Athletics Griff1th's team winning ten games out of. nienteen.
 The St Louis Cardinals have not much to be proud of, but the dis tinction of not having won a game in Pittsburg this season is one that rivals cannot take away from them
 A matter of acute interest in the west is just how soon the Quakers will pass McGraw's men. The pos sibility that such occurrence may not come to pass at all seems not be en. tertained.
 Joe Nealon came out of California with the reputation of being better first baseman than Hal Chase was but in making big league reputa, tion Chase simply lost his fellow Cal. ifornian.
 Jakey Atz, Comiskey's new infield. CT, is the second former New Or leans player the White Sox have SC. cured recently. George Robe came from the Pelican flock. Atz, incl. dentally, is no spring chicken.
 It seems that the real name Of Warhop, the pitcher signed by Hugh Jennings, is Schmidt and that he is a German, not an Indian. Those who had the latter impression must have thought his name was Warpaint.
 Freddy Parent has been laid low twice by pitched balls this season and has donned the head pad for per. manent use when he goes to bat Roger Bresnahan it was. who conceiv' ed the idea of the head pad, but he has faced the cannonading without 1t.
 Having played advanced baseball all summer, Schaefer and O'Leary, the Milesian members of the Detroits, ,are going into advanced vaudeville this winter. They have a line of comedy quips calculated to make audiences scream-no, not with pain.
 An interesting and somewhat cur. ious situation in baseball is the fact that Tommy Leach is playing the outfield. Leach is a strictly first class third baseman, and third base men of that calibre are scarce. Yet here he is playing the outfield, and Pittsburg is getting along all right with him in that position.
 News dispatches from Chicago con- tain some unbridled nature faking. The idea of saying the doves whip ped the cubs.
 The National league list of reserv- ed, drafted and purchased players contains the names of 275 men, the largest, says John Heydler, since the war-the baseball war.
 Frank Rudderham of Providence, who umpired in the Southern league this season, may officiate in the Ma tional next year. At President Pull liam's request Rudderham came down from Providence yesterday to see the National president.
 If Manager McCloskey of the Car. dinals has not done anything else of moment he has accomplished a good deal in the development of Eddie Karger into such a fine pitcher.
 Base ball fame is fleeting. Bill Donovan is considered the best pitch CT in the game to-day. Last year il was Walsh and before that Brown and MathewsOn. And who was Alexander, pa, that people called him great?"
 Hal Chase is among the first ten hitters of the American league.
 Overland southpaw pitchers are still as scarce as hens teeth. Rube Waddell is alomst alone as a port side twirler of that description.

 Connie Mack's Atheltics will earn s10O. 1000 for their owners. -
 Frank Farrell's share of the swag is not less than s60,000.
 The Noyeses. owners of the Wash ington club. will come out s25,OOO ahead of the game.

IZZIE THROWS MIKE FRANK.
New Britain Man Contracted t'
 Throw lizzie Four Times.

New Britain, Sept. 24.-Mike Frank of this place, 160-pounder, contracted to throw lizzie Winters of New Haven four times in one hour in the wrestling carnival in Hanna's armory Saturday night. Winters weighs 125 pounds and some of the New Britain sports thought it was a shame to pit him against such a bur ly antagonist. Mike Frank did not get one fall but Winters forped Mike over and pinned him down in minutes and 10 seconds. The New Haven boy received much applause for his work, while Frank passed out of the hall unnoticed.
 Sam Burke of Philadelphia, known as the Terrible Swede, de- feated D. w. Morgan of Detroit, known as Kid Rudin, in two straight falls.

POLICE STOP BOUT.

New Britain. Sept 24.-The police stopped the star bout last night at the entertainment given by the Young Mems Pleasure club at Han. mas armory. The bout between Kid Brennan of Hartford and Spike Hick- ey of New Haven was in the third round when Sergeant Thomas Grace who was in charge of the officers on hand, stepped into the ring. The bout had turned into a slugging match on Brennan's part. He was unable to keep his head and struck several foul blows, the last in the third round, which knocked Hickey to the floor. The officer used good judgment in stopping 1t.
 Joe Grim retained his title of "The Human Punching Bag" last night at the stag of the Dry Dock Athletic club in New York. He fought Jim Barry of Chicago. and was punched and banged around in the same man. ner that bag is struck. but he was on his feet with his hand up when ended the fight.
 Barry knocked him down nearly twenty times during the six rounds, but every time the plucky Italian would regain his feet in an instant and fight back He seldom landed a blow, but he was always willing to receive punishment.
 Young Wagner defeated Marty Bogue in one round. Billy Donnelly was outpointed by Billy Bestfg. Frankie Sheehan and Tommy Nelson boxed a fast draw. Willie Green had a shade the better of Terry Young. and Ted Merritt and Johnny Martin fought a draw.
 George Decker of Philadelphia had a shade the better of Matty Baldwin of Boston last night ia the main bout at the Crown Athletic club in Brook Iyn. Decker was substituted for Bert Reyes, who was i'll and surprised every one present by his great dis play of cleyerness.

PUEBLO GOLD MINES.

Venus Defenbaugh and Geo.
Hill came up from = Dnio yester.
day with big teams for the pur.
pose of taking back grain and
flour. Mr.. Defenbaugll states
that mining development in that
district is quite active and that
some very rich ore is being un-
covered There are many pros
pectors in there and all have
great faith in the mines. This
Is one of the resources of Harvey
county that has received scant
attention in the past. as it has
never been given sufficient work
to really ascertain its richness.
The district is somewhat isolated
and the first discoveries were
copper and of a grade that did
not appear of sufficient value to
work without transportation fac
ilities. Later however. some
rich gold has been found which
has caused considerable excite
ment
Dell Defenbaugh has bought
the ]. c. Peterman merchandise
business at DEMO and also the
saloon. This place is the supply
point Of the Pueblo mining dis
.rict and an exceptionally good
point.
Mr. Defenbaugh states that
he people of his section are pros
'ering Good crops were raised
md with stock selling ut a good
iCure they are all doing well.

The people of Harvey county
even surprised themselves in the
magnificent fruit display made
at the fair last week and every
one feels encouraged. They
should be. We should all take
a greater pride and interest in
the growing Of trees and orna-
mental shrubs and with any care
they win be successfully grown.
The Times-Herald urges this
matter upon all as it is no longer
@ question of experiment but a
reality Still we find people
harping that this country is not
adapted to fruit raising or agri-
culture. although the latter is
about given up as complete sue

The Times-Herald learns that
a forest ranger now working in
this section is causing some trou-
Die among local people. One
man who had recently made
proof or @ timber claim but had
not yet received patent had cut
some wood on the place and was
told not TO move one stick of il
unit. he had secured patent.
The gentleman came to Burns
and asked advice from authori-
ties and was advised to do lust
as hs pleased upon the place -
cut as much wood as he saw tit
and hau. it away. He was fur
,her advised 20 kick the ranger
oil his premises should he insist
on coming on and being ofiicious.
Such presumption is one of the
unpopular features Of the forest
reserve policy and tends 60 widen
the breach between the govern
men, and the people Of Eastern
Oregon.

VACANT LANDS

According 10 the report Of the
commissioner of the general land

lands were taken under the home
stead and other laws, leaving

Divided into l60-acre farms the
lands taken would give lll.46
