THOUSANDS Of BASE
BALLS USED IN
A YEAR
Figured That Leagues Get
Away With 10000 sphers
in One Season.

More than 10000 baseballs are used
a season by the teams in national
agreement leagues. The New York
and Chicago teams each use in the
neighborhood of 60 dozen balls sea-
son for the home games. an average
OF nine balls game for those sched-
uled on the home grounds. That
seems like a good many balls. but
there is plenty of use for them. A
couple of new balls are handed to
the umpire when the game begins,
new ones are thrown out when those
knocked over the fence do not re-
turn promptly. two or three new ones
are given the pitchers before each
game for limbering up, and sometimes
balls knocked into the crowd mysteri-
ously disappear. The rule of the
American league to throw out new
balls instead of discolored ones means
largely increased number OF balls
used in that league. 1t is said that
some big league organizations, with
strict eye to economy, can get through
a season with 40 dozen balls, but that
is below the average. The two big
leagues between them use about 1000
dozen balls season. In the leading
minor league organizations. such as
the American association and Eastern
league. each club may use as many
as so dozen balls. the clubs of the
smaller leagues using about 10 or Is
dozen apiece. Balls used by profess
SIGNALS are. of course. of the very
best grade, though amateurs, profess
SIGNALS and everybody else get the
same ball furnished to the big leagues
ii they ask for the regulation ball.
There is no need to carry any over,
the factories regulating their output
according to the demand. which they
are able to calculate to a pretty fine
point.

LITTLE LIKELIHOOD
OF Elevation of American Consulate ut
Ads Abeba to a Legation.

Washington. March 21.-It is said at
the state department that there is lit
tie chance of the elevation of the
American consulate general at Ads
Abeba to the rank of legation. which
is reported to be the object of Frank
r. Mowrer, the consulate at that place,
now on his way to Washington. 1t is
believed that Mr.. Mowrer is impelled
to make the request because some of
the European governments have estab-
lished legations at the Abyssinian cap
ital with the result that their repre-
sentatives take official precedence over
the American consul general and
thereby obtain certain advantages in
their pursuit to capture the tempting
Abyssinian markets and gain political
influence.

Uucle Scion Chase on Apples.

If you plant an orchard and think
you have nothing to do but to pick
the apples once year, you will find
your time and money thown away. |
should as quick think of raising corn
without cultivation as apples, but you
raise apple trees and corn on the
same piece and give both the cultiVa
tion they need. Don't set young APP
pie trees in tWitch grass sod-ploW
deep. Harrow the sod down fine,
plant your trees and corn at the same
time, the cultivation you give the
corn will rot the grass sod, the rotten
grass sod will make the young trees
grow. A green twitch grass sod will
kill young apple tree, but rotten
grass sod is just what an apple tree
needs to grow and thrive. After two
years to corn, the ground will be
worked fine and mellow, then put on
the disc and plant a crop of potatoes
you will get large crop of potatoes
and a wonderful growth of the trees
by that time you will get the pure and
undetiled apple tree religion, and will
ask your friends to go and see your
young orchard and you will want to
set out more apple trees. A hoed
crop don't hurt young orchard if
you will hoe the trees when you hoe
the corn. After three hoed crops, two
years to corn and one year to pota
toes, in the early spring seed to clover.
In August cut a crop of hay when
the clover is in bloom-a second crop
will grow up in the fall. The next
spring turn in the clover sod and plant
to corn again and follow with three
hoed crops and crop Of clover. In
this rotation don't cut but one crop
of hay. In this way your orchard will
come into bearing young and all the
time you can raise paying crops If
you fertilize the ground the trees will
get their part of it, if you make clean
cultivation. Apple trees with Guilt
walton without much manure will do
better than where the ground is rich
without cultivation. Cultivation is
the key to grow the apple tree.

Train Wreck in California.

Thirty one dead and a score in
jured comprise the casualties of the
wreck at Honda, Sunday, of the Is
malta special train of New York and
Pennsylvania Mobiles of the Mystic
Shrine who were returning home
from the annual meeting of the I'm
perial Council of the Ancient order
of the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine at
Los Angeles.
The train carrying 145 Shriners and
friends from Ismalia temple, Buffalo:
Rajah temple, Reading, Pa, and
neighboring cities, was rushing north
ward fifty miles an hour on the
Southern Pacific coast line when the
locomotive struck a defective switch
at the siding at Honda. The loeomo
tive turned a somersault into the
sand The forward coaches were
crushed to debris and took fire. The
flames were soon extinguished by un
injured persons from the two rear
coaches. The bodies of twenty two
victims now lie at Santa Barbara and
nine llOT6 are dU CdH LUIS oblSpO.
The injured, many of whom are ter
ribly hurt and some of whom may
die, are in two sanitariums at San
Luis Obispo.
The wreck occurred at 2.35 O'Clock,
an hour and forty minutes after the
train had left Santa Barbara. The
statement that the train was making
high speed when it struck the defec
tive track is borne out by the fact
that it covered the sixty one miles
of crooked track from Santa Barbara
to Honda in one hundred minutes.
The locomotive in leaving the rails,
tore up the track, twisting the rails
into fish hooks. The baggage car
half buried itself in the sand on the
right side of the locomotive. 1t was
smashed almost to kindling wood.
The dining ear, i'll which were
thirty persons eating luncheon,
fell directly on the demolished loco
motive. Nearly every person in the
dining car was killed. Scores were
scalded by steam escaping from dis
connected pipes. The rear coaches
jammed against the fire wreckage,
pinning in those who might other
wise have escaped. Several impris
oned in the debris were roasted alive.

The Bridge and the Ferries.

We publish elsewhere in this ISSUE
two notices which are termed "Road
Petition, they being matters brought
10 the attention Of the County Com
missioner5 by petition in the SAINT
manner as when action on highways
is desired, but in the present instance
one notice refers to bridge and the
other TO the maintenance Of ferrie=.
On petition Of G. b. Bu.hee and l0s
others the commissioners are asked
TO establish highway across the
covered bridge at NorridgeWock, now
operated az a toll bridge, and to make
it county bridge and free from tolls,
under an act passed by the I'D legis-
lature. Under this statute, should
the county Commissioners judge it
eXpedient to act in accordance with
the prayer of the petitioners, such
value as they put upon the bridge will
have to be paid to the present owners
by the county. The hearing upon
this matter is to be held on Wednes
day, August 18th at nine O'Clock a. m.
The other notice refers to the ex
pense of maintaining the Butler and
Moor ferries across the Sandy river
and asks the county commissioners to
apportion such expense between the
towns of Norridgewock and Starks
The ferries were heretofore maintain
ed by the town OF Starks, being who'll
ly within its territory, but the fact OF
the last Legislature which set of a
portion of the town of Starks and I'M
tied it with Norridgewock made the
Sandy River the boundary line so that
both towns, presumably, will share il
the expense of their maintenance
hereafter The hearing on this petit
ton is to be on the same date as the
petition first entioned, but at three
O'Clock in the afternoon.

A Wild Runaway.

A four-year- colt belonging to
d. ID. Strickland, figured in a lively
run away down Russell and Water
street, about half past five Saturday
afternoon. Mr. Strickland was driv-
ing out of the Skowhegan House
stables when the horse took fright at
a stream of water which was being
used to wash an automobile. Seeing
that he was about to collide with an
express team which stood III the yard
at the time, Mr.. Strickland jumped,
hoping to be able to retain his hold
on the reins and stop the horse. He
was thrown to the ground with con-
siderable violence and the horse broke
away turning down Russell street at
full gallop. Coming through Rail
road square he took to the sidewalk
at Parker and Nays store continuing
on it as far as the Heselton house lot
The wagon collided with several posts
and bounced from side to side in the
widest manner, but pedestrians were
able to get out of the way and little
damage was done except to the vehi-
Gle itself which was completely de-
molished. The horse ran down Searle
Hill, below the Eddy, on his way
home, when he was captured, SUI
staining no injury whatever from the
adventure. Mr.. Strickland was bad l.
~ bruised and shaked up but able to
be dressed and about the house Mon
day and believes that he received no
injury bruises and sprains, which will
be temporary.

Bridge OF Culvert.

State Highway Commissioner Paul
d. Sargent has been having a great
deal of trouble TO determine the diff
ference between bridge and a cul-
vert.
He has hunted the law books far
near. and also the dictionaries witt
the result that a culvert was found to
be smaller than bridge, but nobody
told where a culvert left off and
bridge began.
He has adopted the arbitrary dis
tinction Of six feet as the shortest
length for bridge and everything
less than that is a eulvert, no matter
whether the channel of it is natural
or artificial.

Circus Day, Nav IS.

81 hate to see a circus with so many
rings and acts. In big show there
is so much to look at that one keeps
bobbing ones head all over the big
tent, with the result that one doesn't
see a tenth of the performance. |
should rather attend an old fashioned
one ring circus, where | can see
everything we'll"
In all parts of the country the
above sentiment is oftentimes eX-
pressed, when a big circus is billed to
appear. This is true, where the man
agement of big show mixes all sorts
of acts together in crazy connection.
But the great Hargreaves' Railroad
Shows, which will exhibit in Skowhe
gan Saturday, May %, afternoon and
evening, although one of the largest
amusement institutions i'll all the
world, offer no ground for such com
plant The experienced manage
ment of the great Hargreaves' Rail
road Shows long since remedied this
evil.
A circus program is made up of
what are termed "displays." A dis
play is a series of acts given simulta-
neously in the rings, on the elevated
stages, in the air and on the hippo
drome. Instead of a display com
posed of several diverse acts, as is SO
often the case in circuses, the Har-
greaves displays are made up of acts
of the same kind. For instance, if a
male or female equestrian act is being
given in Ring No. /, the very same
kind of feature will be found in the
other rings. If group of aeriaists
appear at one end of the dome of the
great tent, another group will be pre-
scented at the opposite end. Thus it
is possible for the spectators at one
extremity of the canvas to see prac-
tically the same performances that
the people in the far end witness.
