ed well yesterday, although Nichols
and st. .AJohn did not bat up to their
average Dario, at short for the town
boys, led both teams at the bat, get
ting three hits out of four times up,
although two of them were nits on
account of the politeness of cadet out
fielders. Lalo, on third for the town
team, had two errors against him, but
he worked in fine shape, nevertheless.
He fielded the three other chances
that came his way in fine style. Reyes
is a wonder at first, but needs some
thing for his batting eye. He played
a beautiful game in the field yesterday
Montoya had more work than any
of the fielders yesterday. He had
twelve chances, nine of which he ex-
ecuted without error. This explains
his three errors, IN spite of which he
will have a high fielding average.
All the fielding and batting aver
ages during these games will be
watched with interest by the players
and fans alike, for the players who
show up best will be the ones that
go on the trip to Albuquerque to rep
resent Roswell in the big tournament
at the Territorial Fair next month.
The boys will play their best, consid-
ering what high average means for
them The next game will occur Fri
day, and if it is to he of any benefit
to the team that takes the trip the
attendance will have to be better than
yesterdays crowd, which was compos
ed of 130 or 140 cadets and twenty
Or thirty other persons. Following is
the official score:

CITIZEN OBJECTS TO
BICYCLtSTS ON WALKS

A complaint has come to the Rec
ord that bicycle riders are in the hab-
it of "scorching" down the cement
walks of North Hill. They have made
a specially of Main street This prac-
tice is against the city ordinance, and
unless it is stopped the guilty parties
will be prosecuted. Additional to the
danger of legal complications is that
as an antidote for which the ordinance
was passed, that of running down and
fnjuring a pedestrian. The riding has
been done at night for the greater
part, and this makes the danger of
hurting someone all the greater.

The first game of the fall base ball
season was played at Amusement
+ Park before a small crowd yesterday
afternoon. The Roswell town team
and the cadets from the Military n
stitute were the contestants and the
town boys were the winners, six to
three. 1t was a pretty good game,
ering the fact that it followed but lit
tie practice on the part of the cadets
and absolutely none on the part OF
the town team with the exception of
the Mexican members who held down
three inf1eld positions. The game was
won by hard hitting.
The worst part of the exhibition
was the way it was allowed to drag.
Both sides were slow in running their
men out to bat and in getting into ac-
tion at the conclusion of each half
ianng. The several pretty individual
plays that were made during the
game was the feature
Reeves was in the box for the town
team and pitched a good game. AL
though he passed four on balls and
by hitting batters, he allowed but five
hits that were fairly well scattered
and struck out ten. Crowell, for the
cadets, hit one and passed one on
balls, struck out four and allowed
, eleven hits.
A sensational play was made il the
third inning when Reeves hit nard
one to McMurray, who knocked IL
down but let it get away. Out OF
McMurray's arms the ball bounded in
to the air and was caught by Montoya
who threw the runner out at first
In the first half of the fifth Leland
in right made a pretty play by catch
ing hot liner from Webster's bat
and throwing out Montoya before he
could recover and return to first.
Then in the last half of the fifth Crow
ell made hit with the spectators by
catching what looked like a cannon
ball from Grissitt's bat Reeves ran
on the infeld fly ball and RED" got
credit for two put-outs.
All the new players on both SIDES
showed up well. Grissitt, at second
for the town boys is ball player all
through the game and is strong at the
bat Webster, at third for the cadets
plays a nice game and bats splendid.
Wynne. the new cadet captain and
catcher, is a league back-stop and
keeps in the game all the time He
already has good control over his team

playing a good game in the field and

HITcHING WEIGHTS
SHOULD BE HEAVIER.

There have been enough runaways
on the streets of Roswell during the
past three days to last a month and
the cause of about half of them has
been light hitch weights. The city
council recently passed an ordinance
requiring heavy weights for nitching
purposes and extra heavy for teams
No attention has peen paid to the ord
nance, which, legally is in effect,
either by the people who hitch teams
or by the officers who are supposed
20 enforce the laws. 1t is time some
thing should be done along this line.

tribute the water over the lands.
The reservoir site is a large natu-
raj depression, the storage capacity
of which has been increased by the
construction of five embankments be-
tween tie surrounding hills. The wa
ter is to be diverted by means of an
earthen dam 20 feet in height, and
conveyed to the reservoir through a
canal with a bottom width of 20 feet
second. This canal is provided with
a weir at its lower end, over which
the water will flow, allowing the silt
to gather behind it and be sluiced out
at intervals. The outlet canal con-
meets the lowest point in the reser-
voir with the river, passing out thru
gate in one of the fills. The chan
mel of the Hondo River will be used
for carrying the irrigating water
distance of about a mile. AT this point
it will be turned by a small concrete
diversion dam into the distributing
canals, one on each side of the river.
The area to be irrigated is all first
class land, free from alkali, and when
irrigated will be easily worth $100 per
acre when planted in corn or alfalfa.
If used for fruit raising it will have
higher value. This project is prac-
tically completed and it is expected
that sufficient flood and excess water
will be stored in the reservoir to fur
nish water to the lands under it in
1903.
Carlsbad Praiect.
Work on this project has reached a
point where water is available for
about 10000 acres, and the entire ac-
reage will probably be supplied dur
ing 1908.
Plans are being formulated by
which the entire Pecos Valley even
tually will be brought under compre-
hensive system CT irrigation. In this
connection the underground waters
are being carefully studied. With the
of the artesian belt rapid
progress will be made in agriculture
and other industries.

Growing Satisfy.

In a bulletin issued by the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Agriculture the
following directions for the growing
of satisfy are given:
Satisfy, or oyster plant, Is one Of the
most delicious of vegetables, and 1t is
not grown as largely as its merits de
mand, either in the home garden or for
commercial purposes. The seed should
be sown as early In the spring as the
ground can be prepared, making drills
one foot apart and covering the seed
with about one inch of soil. When the
plants are large enough to facilitate
rapid and careful hanCling thin. leav-
ing a plant every five or six inches.
Satisfy does best in a deep, rich, sandy
soil, although it may be grown success
fully In any kind of a deep, fertile
loan. Fresh manure should not be
used for this vegetable. as it induces
the formation of two many fibrous, lat
eral roots. Bone meal and the mineral
elements can be used with good effect.
Favorable conditions for the growth of
satisfy are furnished by liberal manur-
ing the previous season for cabbage
and other vegetables requiring high
| feeding.
The crop may be dug In the fall and
stored in the cellar and covered with
sand, or the roots may be left in the
ground until spring. Market garden
ers usually store the bulk of the crop,
so sales can be made during the win
ter The roots are entirely hardy,
however, and there will be no loss if
left In the ground. Sandwich Island
! is the leading variety.

or.gon,s First wheat Crop.

In his "reminiscences of Oregon,
Hon. B. F. Nichols tells in the Laid
law Chronicle of the first wheat raised
in Oregon. May II, 1916. near where
Dallas. Polk County, now stands. Gen.
Gillian seeded ten acres of bottom land
to California spring red wheat. from
which he threshed and cleaned up 100
Bushels OF red wheat The crop next
year was volunteer and yielded over
twenty-five bushels per acre of Califor-
MIA fall or white winter wheat. The
next crop. 1913, also yielded thirty-two
bushels per acre. The white wheat
that was mixed with the sowing in the
first place did not mature, but spread
out over the ground, allowing the
spring wheat to be harvested the first
year and leaving the other to grow and
mature for 1917. The third crop was
the largest of all, and all from one
seeding. A truly wonderful thing to
those who had come from the cold,
bleak prairies of Northwestern Mime
sofa and Illinois, where the ground Is
covered with snow from twelve to IF
teen inches deep four to six months of
the year, and where the mercury drops
TO So degrees below zero quite often
during the winter.
