SOUTHERN BASEBALL IS HURT.
Cold Weather in Dixieland Cuts the
ReceiptS Way Down.

Memphis, Tenn, April 26.-The
sudden return from the north of thou
sands of robins and rice birds mark
ing for the first time in recollection of
the oldest natives action of this kind
on the birds that migrate from the
south in springtime, has caused much
thinking on the part of southern
league baseball managers and other
franchise holders in the various
leagues south of the Ohio river.
Much money has already been lost in
postponed games and in small crowds
prevented from attend ding on account
of the cold, but the "old heads" be-
lieve that the return of the robins
means more cold in the north and
south and suffering alike to both
northern and southern gate receipts.

BUGS AND COLD WEATHER.
Have Damaged the Wheat and Oats
Crop in Coffey County.

Burlington, Kan, April 26-The green
bugs and extremely cold and dry
weather have materially damaged the
wheat and oats crops in this county
Some Well posted farmers says that
the soft wheat and the oats are entire
ly ruined and that the hard wheat is
not in very good shape. while others
insist that with rains and warm
weather even the soft wheat will yield
some. Oats seem to be about gone
but very little oats is raised in this
county anyway Fruit is in better con-
dition than was at first thought and
there will be some cherries, apples, ber-
ries. etc. but probably no peaches to
speak of.

two walks and a passed ball, coupled
with a few errors. In this inning ev
cry man on the st. Marys team faced
Pitcher Boles. Again in the eighth
inning the Irish sent five runs over on
a comedy of errors coupled with a
three Dagger and two singles. In the
ninth two more were added partly on
hits and partly because of dumb play
ing by the Washburnites.
Before the game Quigley said that
st. Marys was going to slip one over
on Washburn and after the game all
he had to say was, Didn't 1 tell you"
st. Marys has a fine team and as they
have played eight games without a
single defeat their chances for winning
the state college, championship are
looking particularly rosy at this time.
They have had, the state champion
ship already for several years The
best individual player on the st.
Marys team is Tommy Burns, the little
first sacker who is the captain of the
team. Walter Walsh at short is a
good man too and while talking of
the good players it might not be amiss
to mention Govereau, the catcher.
For Washburn the only player who
really starred was Dunaway. the little
second baseman, who made several
difficult stops, though Snyder did ex-
cellent work behind the bat
Big Jack Halla umpired the game
Jack was bedecked in an oVercoat and
wore his kid gloves all through the
game. Outside his strong German ac-
cent he makes great umpire.
