THREE PITCHERS USED
None Is Able to Stop the
Slugging.
Burk Holds Portsmouth Safe
Lotshaw, Farrell, Craig and La
Rue Star In 1ame.

I'm a contest marked by the sharpest
hitting that has been seen at Webb
park since the early season, the Dig
gers hammered the Night Rider
Fingers all over the lot while the
callers could do but little with San
ford Burk. The final count was 3 and
8.
There was some class 10 that
clOutlng. Not an inning passed with
out the Diggers getting at least one
safety and almos: every safety was a
oorker that required an outiielder TO
hurry some to keep 1t from being an
extra baser. In all this hitting,
Windy Lotshaw stands out pre-emi-
nent. The Hoosier lad put one over
the fence and In another try he
pllced the ball but a few inches from
the top of the fence In right center,
getting three bases. He also secured
two singles. Farrell, too, was In on
everything that was coming off and
out of five trials he secured two
singles and double.
The advent OF Red Craig, Marion's
new pitcher, will be remembered for
many a day. The genial lad was sent
in to play second and he played q
great game despite those three err
rors with which he Is charged in the
score. Craig is candy hitter. Out
of five tries he laced out a double
and two singles, all clean sharp
drives. Another time he pasted one
on the nose into right field that
would have been good for two OF
three bases had not Burke, the
speedy ex-Mansfielder, made sensa-
tional catch. Hughey Tate, oDay
and LaRue were also punching the
ball with great regularity.
The hit germ evidently nestled
close to the Digger bench and infect
ed the Digger bats. II was a merry
clouting party that 0Day's lads en-
joyed and Johns, the college pitcher
who has been cutting up quite a bii
in the Ohio State league, was shown
no mercy. He lasted four innings
and Mercer went to the mound. The
youngster lasted two and then "Red'
Bohannon finished the game IN the
box, Kellar, an amateur going 10 sec
ond base.
Toward the close OF the game the
hit germ evidenly caught onto the
Might Riders bats and they punched
several safeties on Burk, netting
them three runs. But the game
was safely slowed away in the Dig
ger win column and Burk was takini
1t easy.
In spite of the fact that the Dig
lger clouting made the result Ger
tainty, there were many pretty play

BE A FARMER.

Now IL is the time to get n nice
iarm and settle down. Farms are
divided into two kinds--the aban-
doned and those that want to be.
Having secured your farm. proceed
20 settle on its as gracefully as
possible. To begin with, mortgage
your property in town, and gather
together all your available resour-
ces.
Mach can be done with an aban-
dOned farm II one has money and
courage enough. First: remove all
the superfluous rocks To do this
start a rockery. Whenever, in walk
ing over your farm, you notice a
bowlder or so loafing around, left
over from the heartless old glacial
period, with nothing on earth to
10 but gather moss, pick it up care
lessly and add 1t TO the rockery.
After a while you will get into the
habit. Then, In case you run out of
resources, you can, with the muscle
thus acdIhod, spend the rest OF
your life IA museum, as a strong
man.
Second, secure a respectable and
sven-tempered herd of kline. Kline
are largely used to give milk and
to furnish models for oil paintings.
You can also use them to drive
TO pasture. Driving a herd of kline
to pasture is not only splendid ex-
erclse-better than golf-but Vt also
adds to your sense OF the beautiful.
Third keep on hand a stock oI
hens. These delightful companions
will be a perpetual source of amuse-
ment and profit. Accompany them
with some chanticlers. AS long as
they cheer yopu by their presenct

Allows Portsmouth to Win

CONDITIONS ARE TRYING
Crowd, Peppered with Dust,

Misplays-wolfe Stops Msrion's
Attempt TO rie The Story.

In contest played under the
most trying conditions, Portsmouth
defeated the Diggers yesterday three
TO two in five innings OF play. A
high wind kept clouds of dust NOV
ing across the field during the great
er part of the afternoon and in the
first of the fifth the dust storm got
SO bad that play was suspended for
fifteen minutes.
Spectators in the grand stand and
bleachers were peppered with the
dust which swept across the field at
q rate OF forty miles an hour and
was literally hurled into their faces.
Conditions during this period were
almost unbearable. Many ruined
their clothes and resembled Weary
Willies more than anything else.
After that blow the stands held the
dlrties looking crowd that ever wit
messed n ball game in Marion.
II all really happened in the first
inning. Wilmot got a bad start and
his support was extremely ragged
with the result that Portsmouth
had two counts, enough to win the
game. Burke singled to the middle
and Wolfe sacrificed. Nolan drew
a pass and Spencer lifted an easy
one to Farrell in center. But Far

he grabbed the ball he could have
forced a runner at third but he
missed the bounce and the bases
were full Then Totman smashed
at one OF Wllmot's Blenders and the
result was little roller that went
only few feet from the plate. An
deron should have fielded the ball
but instead he let Wilmot run in for
II and Totman was safe at first
while Burke scampered home. Bo-
hannah pulled of the squeeze with
Nolan coming in. Nolan scored and
Bohannon was thrown out at first
by Larue. Tate's perfect return to
Anderson nipped Spencer, who had
tried to score from second on the
play. Portsmouth had several other
chances TO score during the remain
der OF the five innings but Wilmot
was working right and there was
nothing doing.
Frank Wolfe, the ex-Dlgger was
mainly instrumental in the failure
OF the Diggers TO tie the count In
the third. Anderson walked and
Wllmot, who followed popped out

Farrell forced Anderson at second
Wolfe made a great one handed stop

When Bishop Duncan first went to
Texas to preside at a state conference
there he was suffering severely with

sition and referred to his malady with
such frequency that 1t became bit
tiresome to the preachers. A brother

sPENcER's TREE.
An Incident Of Pioneer Life In 0td
Tennessee.

One seldom hears nowadays ut
the man who gave his name to
Spencer's tree, says Miss .. Il.
Bond, the author OF ''Old Tales Re-
told; or, Perils and Adventures m
Tennessee Pioneers, bat in oldSn
times the name OF Thomas Sharpe
Spencer was connected with many
tales of Tennessee adventure. He
was a man of extraordinary size, re-
markably kind and gentle hearted.
He went to Cumberland County in
117G in company with John Hafli-
day to explore and hunt in the un-
known fore.
Halliday decided not to stay. and
Spencer went with him as far aS the
border of Kentucky to put him
safely so far on his way home. Kind
and thoughtful to the last, the big
man with the big heart broke in two
pieces his long hunting knife and
gave half of it to Halliday. who had
unfortunately lost his own.
With only half knife and his
rife Spencer turned back into the
forest and began to look out for
site for his home. He was fortu-
nate in finding not only suitable
place for field, but also ready to
hand large dwelling, vacant of a
tenant.
The foundations of the structure
were fastened deep in the eal III, the
walls were tinted silver gray. the
lofty roof was lichen green, and its
frettcd pinnacles lowered toward
the sky
The dwelling had a tall opening
in one side, through which Spencer
walked into the hollow of the great
sycamore tree which was to be his
home and took possession Of spa
cious chamber which measured near
" eleven feet across and thirty feet
and more around.
The new proprietor stood his rife
against the wall, hung powderhorn
and drinking cup upon projections
of the wood and was ready for
housekeeping. At nightfall he
spread down a furry bear skin and
lay serenely down to sleep.
Spencer lived in his tree through
the varying seasons of full year,
caring nothing for wind or rain and
minding neither heat nor cold in
his snug retreat. The tall sycamore
known as Spencer's tree stood for
many years after its tenant had
passed away and was long pointed
out as an example of the magnifi-
cent growth found by the pioneers
in our primeval forests.
Concrete Construction.
The modern development Of concrete
construction has done much to improve
the aesthetic quality of railway engi-
neering. Substantial appearance and
architectural character tend to take
the place Of much ugliness Of wood
and steel along the right of way. Co
lossal examples of re-enforced concrete
construction are the several miles of
viaduct built across the salt water he
tween many of the islands to carry the
railway from the Florida mainland to
Key West. AS impressive as Roman
viaduct is the rhythmic order of these
great monolithic nrcfes-about six
miles of them altogether. In one
stretch alone are nearly three miles,
in another two. Fancy the ugliness Of
piles or steel trestles in contrast With
this gigantic work. which declares that
modern engineering, like that Of an-
tique days, can be not only strong, but
beautiful!-Century.

Republicans Formulate Plans

Chicago, July Is. AS the result of
the republican conference here TO-DAY
which was called by Frank Fl. Hitch
COCK, chairman of the national COM
faittee, headquarters will be establish
ed Immediately in eight states and
active campaigning for TAFT and
sherman begun long before these
states had expected to take up the
work. The states taking part in the
conference were Illinois, Indiana. To-
wa, Kentucky, Missouri, Michigan.
Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The meeting was one of the most
enthusiastic yet held by Mr.. Hitch
cock, although at the outset the men
were less receptive than were the rep-
resentatiyes of the states in the far
west, who met early in the week at
Colorado Springs. It was agreed that
polls should be taken at once, in or
der to gather necessary information
concerning the situation.
The leaders from Wisconsin were
not inclined to open headquarters in
that state until after the republican
state ticket had been named.
After a general campaign program
had been outlined by Mr.. Hitchcock,
the men became interested, and it was
agreed that work should be begun in
all states as soon as possible.
