BASE BALL NOTES.
What a blow for Holyoke.

What a blow for Holyoke.
 Springfield, too. got hers yester- day.
 Now if we can trim Springfield to-day we will come back into the limelight once more as pennant possibility.
 Holyoke is reported to have made s5,000 this season on the sale of players who will go higher next year. Pretty good work for Man ager Tom Dowd and no wonder other owners of teams In bigger leagues are after him.
 Red Waller was the man of the hour In Springfield, and Dan 0'Neil's smile faded away as he saw the de- spised Bridgeports get away with the game. The hukey run scored in the first inning was as good as dozen.
 The local fans have not had a chance to see Waller at work in this city this season. Jim o'Rourke will confer a favor by having him here on Friday, as we would like to get a crack at him. We guess we know his puzzles.
 It took pretty good sand for local lsympathizers to back up the locals after Holyoke scored those first two runs yesterday. but there were some of them right here in Waterbury who took all bets offered.
 Curtiss. Dubuc's catcher in the Notre Dame team. has been recom- mended to the New York Nationals by Dan Brouthers. the New York scout. What a battery that would make if Johnny McGrav would now pick up Dubuc.
 Frank Fitzpatrick got good and square for all the knocking be re- ceived up in Holyoke yesterday. He was guyed unmereifully when he muffed an easy one. bu. when he cracked out that two sacker in the last inning and won the game his enemies crawled into a very small hole.
 Perhaps we won't win this pen nsnt. but yoa can inst gamble that the teams that try to prevent us vifl find as right there fighting every ninats. and ze can place . knock out ss good ss the rest Of them. HolToks thinks sc noE.

THE PEBBLE DID IT.

Springfield, Aug. 21.-One pesky pebble penetrating through the sward in right field proved the un- doing of the Ponies yesterday. After Sonny Jim O'Rourke had been dis posed of in the opener, Frank Beau mont wheeled one into right field that would ordinarily have gone for single. The ball bounded away from Waite and dribbled along to the rear end of the lot while Beau mont beat it for third. Hi Ladd drove to center and sent in the only run of the contest. The score:
 R.H.E. Springfield .000000000--o 8 l Bridgeport 00000-1 8 8 Batteries--Luby and Connor; Waller and Beaumont.

Big slugger Not to Go With Boston
 Nationals.

Manager Dan o'Neil announces that he is through with the Boston nationals for the services of Tom Standard. Boston's option on the big fellow has expired and as 1t had been extended once at the request of the Hub management. Manager o'Nell doesn't want to take chances of extending any word to the effect that Boston has passed up Stankard. but will now turn his thoughts In other directions.

ROYAL spoRrsMEN.
Points of Difference Between King
 and Prince of Wales.

There Is no finer marksmen among grouse shooters in Great Britain to- day than the Prince of Wales, who even on a moderately stocked moor does not consider 1t a feat to bring down with his own gun a hundred brace of birds in a day. According to the Gentlewoman, if the king "hat never reached such pinnacle of ex- cellence in that difncuit department 1t Is not to be forgotten that his rep- utation as deer stalker was made many years ago.
 This difference in attainments be- tween father and son Is in a measure a reflex of their differences in temper ament. To be able to shoot grouse calls for something like instinctive precision. The birds are driven by beaters and frequently fy down the wind at more than the speed of an express train. The sportsman must have a quick eye, unerring judgment and the most unvavering decision.
 The genuine deer stalker, on the other hand. must have within him the qualities of a born statesman. There must be the most calculating judgment. the finest self-eontroi un- der auivering excitement. and above all the ability to take advantage of every opportunity as it arises.
 When the king goes grouse shoot ing there is no attempt at record breaking. for his Majesty has no hankering after a full bag. To pass an exhilarsting afternoon on the open moor under conditions that send the party home pleased and slightly exhausted. with just sufficient of in- eident to create a little amusement for the rect of the evening. is his Nsiesty's ideal dsy's sporf.-

THE MAN WHO TANNED CASEY.

I'm just an ordinary fan and don't
 count for nluch. But I'm for writing hist'ry with 2
 true and honest touch. It isn't often that knock-lll put
 you next to that But I must interpose a word on
 Casey at the Bat" Oh, yes, I'll have to come across, the
 poem is beaut- Been running through my tntnKer
 since our team got on the c1ute. I heard an actor fan recite 1t thirteen
 years ago,
 He sort of introduced it in the pro
 gress of the show. It made hit from gallery down to
 the parquet floor. But now I've got to thinking, ana
 that poem makes me sore. I'd like to know why any fan should
 be so of his nut About the mighty" Casey, who just
 proved himself a mutt. The score, we're told, was 4 to 2,
 one inning ief! to play, Which proves the Frogtown tWirler
 had things coming all his way. So in the, ninth, with two men gone,
 he loosened up bit, And Flynn scratched out a single;
 Blake let loose a two base hit. Then up from stand and bleachers
 there arose a mighty roar, They wanted just that little hit they
 knew would tie the score. And there at bat was Casey, mighty
 Casey, Mudville's pride. But was the Frogtown slabster sent
 ballooning, terrified? Now in a pinch with two men down
 and Casey at the bat Most pitchers would have let him
 walk-we all are sure of that. But Hagan was hero; he was made
 of sterner stuff;
 It's his kind gets the medals and the
 long newspaper pun. He knew the time had come when he must play the leading role; He heard the fans a-yelling, but
 twas music to his soul; He saw the gleam of confidence in mighty Casey's eye, And then resolved. "I'll strike him out-I'll do 1t or I'll die" He stood alone and friendless in that wild and frenzied throng; s There wasn't even one kind word to boost his game along. But back in Frogtown, where they got the plays by special wire The fans were ready, if he won, to
 set the town on fire. Now Hagan twists his body on the truest corkscrew plan, And hurls swift inshoot that cuts the corner of the pan. But Casey thought the first one
 pitched would surely be ball, So he didn't try to hit it, to the great disgust of all.
 Again the Frogtown wizard figured dope on Mudville's pride He thinks the next will be an out, and that it's going wide" He just shot through a straight one to the center of the plate, And Casey waited for the curve until
 it was too late.
 And now the mighty slugger was a. hanging on the string; If another good one came across
 twas up to him to swing. And Hagan saw the jaunty smile was
 fading from his face And a look of straining agony was
 there to take its place. A moment Hagan pauses, hides the ball behind his glove, And then he drives it from him with sweeping, full-armed shove, And now the air is rent in twain be- fore the slugger's slit For Casey, mighty Casey, hadn't fig
 ured on the spit.
 That night the bands were playing
 back in Frogtown-by-the-Crick. | And frenzied fans were shouting Mickey Hagan turned the trickr So why lament for Casey just be. cause he couldn't clout? Let's say, "Hurrah for Hagan, who
 famed the slugger out"

THANKSGIVING DAY
Tucumcari Observed the Day
With Praises, SONG and
Rejoicing.

Thanksgiving Day was observed
httingly in Tucumcari with praises,
song and rejoicing. The day was
one OF those beautiful Indian sum
mel DAYS, almost like the hazy
DAYS of Indian Summer that sc
many OF US remember back home,'
and we only lacked the iridencent
splendor OF the leafy nantes OF the
hills.
Thanksgiving Day means some
thing this year to those sturdy sons
OF toll who are so rapidly building
a great State to be, cut out here in
the edge of the Rockies, and espec-
ially to Tucumcari and to Quay
county. Our newly broken sod has
yielded up a plentiful crop this
year. Our new land is giving a
promise which will be fulfilled in
thousands OF happy little homes
ont here in this Land OF Sunshine.
The Thanksgiving service was
held at the Baptist Church, all OF
the churches OF the city joining
in. The Prayer OF 7 a n X :
giving was offered bv Rev. Du-
Bose of the Presbyterian Church,
and the sermon was by Rev. Wilson
OF the South Methodist Church.
The music was beautiful, being
rendered by the united choirs OF all
the churches OF the city, and
especially is the number gwen by
the quartette, Messrs Coulter, w.
a. Gamble, l.. p. Gamble and @.

A. Gamble, worthy OF compliment.
Rev. Wilson preached a very
able sermon, from which the follow
ing is quoted:
Mans chief gratitude is for the
exalted place that God has given
him in lifting him to the highest
plane OF usefulness and service.
Gods wisdom enters into mans
life for his advancement and Tor
the development OF all OF his facul-
ties, enabling him to taste OF the
infinite privileges and to enter into
the full enjoyment, and reap the
rewards OF faithfulness and service.
AS the God Man for the JOY set
before bin Him endured the cross,
so should we find our chief Joy in
helping others and Frightening the
lives OF those who are in the dark
ness OF sorrow and affection. AS
the sun lights the soul, SO the Sun
of Righteousness shines into our
lives, giving us light and strength,
and enabling us to have fellowship
one with another. Ii the brightest
! Jewel has been taken from the
home, if the pail of sorrow hangs
around our hreside, our faith
should be a light to dispel the
darkness, and enable us to see
that though the experience may be
as the bud that is bitter, yet the
flower will bring JOY and sweet
ness"
The church was crowded at the
hour of service, and one and all
united in an honr OF heartfelt
thanksgiving. The service was very
impressive and imposing, and one
not to he soon forgotten.
