Grasshopper Disease. .

Fort Collins, Colo, August 10, 1908.
Mr.. J. w. Denney,
Dolores, Colorado.
Dear Sir:-The package of grass hop
pers and your letter are at hand. The
grass hoppers appear to be dying from
a disease which is puite common to
grass boppers in this locality, in fact,
In all parts of the country. 1t is a
micro organism which lives within the
body of the hoppers and technically
known as einpusa grill. When the
grass hoppers become abundant in
most any locality they are frequently
subject to epidemics of this disease
which reduce their numbers very
materially. In fact, we owe much of
our success against grass hoppers to the
work of this native disease. The peo-
pie In your valley are to be congratu-
lated that tie disease is reducing the
grass hoppers. And 1T Is at all abun-
dant the prospects for grass hoppers
for next year will be poor
Sincerely Yours,

This reservoir is in course of construc-
ton and is owned by the Summit Res
Rervoir Irrigation company. 1t is the
second in size of the reservoirs on this
system and Is located one-lplf mile
north of Millwood. 1t Is u piece of
work well worth seeing, being 1900 in
length and over thirty feet high. The
work is being pushed as fast as possible,
and all the teams that can be used
to advantage are on the job. A. NJ.
Puett, J. N. Withers and G. Il. Rentz
are the men behind this enterprise.
We are requested to say for the benefit
of the knockers who seem to know all
about this system and its water shed,
that If they will devote as much time
investigating and getting the real truth
regarding the system from beginning
to present date as they do explaining
to strangers its demerits they could be
Of great benefit to the community.
The promoters of this enterprise are
deserving of the highest praise for the
quality of the work performed, and
are to be congratulated for possessing
the grit and perseverance, necessary for
undertaking and carrying through
this irrigation system which will add
thousands of dollars of taxable proper
ty to our county.

PRESIDENT PU1L1AM's OPINION
National League Official Explains
Vexed Point in Scoring.

CINCINNATI. April 17.-President Pull
liam Of the National League. who was
here yesterday. said:
When two base runners negotiate Il
double steal each should be credited with
stolen base. but if the atcher throws
one OF the two out the other should no;
be credited with stolen base as h.
reaches his destination on put-out.
II hardly think it fair to the catcher to
credit one runner with stolen bias, If he
nips the other when the pair try for
double steal said Pull:am. He car
tainly cannot throw out both base run
ners and should be protected TO that ex-
tent. Of course. there may be some who
differ with me. but that is my opinion.
You can't imagine how many inquiries
I receive about different plays that come
M during a season. There are hundreds
OF them. and I suppose in many cases my
opinion differs radically from that of
some one else. Scoring is. to a sreat ex-
tents a matter or judgment.
al present | cannot think of any pla
by which a universal system OF scoring
every play can be decided upon. | have
known of instances where half the scor-rs
in press box have credited player with
hit while the other half gave tiefaer
an error.

The fielding of both teams was ragged
at times, and neither side did any tall
batting. but Columbia made its errors at
the right time for the Blue and Gray. Lee

had the locals guessing until the eighth
inning. when he got his bumps. Joe Mont
gomery twirled his first game for George
town and lie made good showing. keep

sions this season has shown brilliantly
again came TO the front yesterday. when
in the ninth inning hard hit came int
his territory with severa! runners on the
bags. He recovered the ball and by an
accurate throw to the plate cut the rune,
off with what would have been the tying
run. He also made fine catch of liner

GEORGETOWN AND
TIGERS CLASH TOMORROW

Georgetown plays its biggest game of
the year tomorrow. meeting Princeton in
the first of series of two games. the
final game to- be played on the local field
Monday. The rivalry existing between
the Tigers and Georgetown in base ball
dates back eleven years. the annual con-
tests between the two schools ranking
high in collegiate base ba II circles. Where
Yale ranks high in foot ball Princeton
maintains an equally high prestige in
base ball. Last year Princeton was
ranked second to Cornell by many critics
but the New Jersey team still argues
that its aggregation surpassed the Ithaca
nine in al departments of the game.
Georgetown and Princeton broke even
last year
Georgetown is out for the collegiate
title this season. and in order to gain the
honor must. at least. secure an even
break with Princeton. there being chances
of arranging "a third date far later in tn
season. Up to date Georg ,town has won
eight out OF the nine games played. con-
Sidered one OF the best records ever made
by A Blue and Gray team. Diamond will
pitch the first game against Princeton
and should he display anything like the
form he showed in the Virginia struggle
Georgetown VIII have an excellent chdnc
to win. The seventeen-year-old twirle,
possesses every timing in the category Of
pitching. which. when combined with his
superb control and cool head. makes him
difficult man to beat Heyniger. con-
sidered the leading college pitchcr in the
country. will go to the slab for Princeton
tomorrow. The rest of the team is made
up of veterans. The return of Patten TO
school makes it possible for Georgetown
to use last years reserve star at short
stop from now on until Smiths recovery.
