Newark is third in the Eastern League
race and Jersey City sixth, but the
Skeeters by taking yesterdays game
gained a lead m the seasons series with
the Colts. having won six out of eleven
games. Manager Burnham expects
Jimmy Jones back in the game this
afternoon and. with the full team in
the field, the locals are confident of
evening honors in the final game of the
series. 1t will probably be Carrick
against Lake.
1t was a queer sort of a game that
Newark lost yesterday, 4 to 8. The
Colts outbatted n outfelded the
Shelters, and Mccarthy outpitched
Pfanmi1ler, but, in spite of all, victory
perched on Jersey City's side. Manager
Bean made a wise move when he
chased Pitcher Lake to the box in the
ninth inning, for the Colts were just
about ready to- break up the game in
the last round and had scored a run
and placed a man on first with nobody
out, when Pfanmiller was beckoned to
the bench. How Umpire Conway
treated Newark in spouting his de-

PULL STAKES
IN NEWARK
That Local Franchise
Will Be Transferred to
York, Pa.

The city of York. Pa, lost its base
ball team last week by the transfer of
the franchise to Reading. The Newark
Atlantic League club a been losing
money, according to reports and ap-
pearances. 1t is now regarded very
likely that the local Atlantic League
team will be switched to the Pennsyl-
vania town.. The trouble at York was
the fact that the team there was a
tailender In the Tri-State League. The
Newark team Is a first division club In
the Atlanti and, the league magnates
believe. would prove a paying PROPOSE
ton there.
Vice-President Scheuer stated last
night that President Konkle had gone to
York for the purpose of comforting
there with persons who desired to have
the club transferred, and that If the
negotiations were satisfactory to tho
Newarkers 1t was practically certain
that the change would be made. Mr..
Scheuer said that the Newark Club
had been losing money and that 1t was
plain to him that the lovers Of base
ball In this vicinity did not appreciate
what had been dom for them.
There is to be a meeting of the At
lantic League at the Penn Hotel, in
Allentown, today, and, among other
matters to be considered at that ses-
sion, 1t Is believed that the subject of
the Newark Clubs transfer will be
taken up 1t was said last night by
Mr.. Scheuer that though York had
failed to support the Tri-State League
team. which was a tail-end aggrega-
tion, 1t was believed that a team well
up in a league race would find 1t profit
able there.
The support given the Atlantic
League team here has certainly been
far from encouraging for the hackers
of the enterprise. and 1t will probably
be a surprise to no one to find that
there Is a movement to transfer the
franchise.
Some protests are to be acted on at
today's meeting, and the transfer Of
the Chester Club to Shamokin will
also be officially ratified. Several man.
ayers have made protests on the
ground that umpires have made de-
cisions contrary to the rules. One of
these will be entered by Manager
Sutton. of the Easton team, who played
the second game of a double-header at
Elizabeth under protest. In that game,
he claims. the umpire declared a force
out when the situation did not admit
of such a decision.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, July 31.-After
playing eight innings Elizabeth forfeited
the game to Brooklyn yesterday by a score
of 9 TO 0. Manager Neubeck. of the New
Jersey team, had nothing to say until after
Brooklyn registered seven runs in the
eighth inning. He then refused to let his
team play because Manager Hussey re-
fused to pay him his guarantee for Mon
days game, which was postponed on ac-
count of wet grounds. Score:

Gradually as the years pass on
dairying will be steadily on the

According to statistics we find
that the average COW of Kansas
produces approximately 100 ponds
of butter fat per year. This is
far from the average attainded in
some of our eastern States, where

many good herds which average
from 800 to 400 pounds of butter

increasing the capacity of COWS of

cords placed before US as that
