PITCHER PATRICK
OF JACKSONVILLE
Something OF the Treatment Accord
ing TwirIer in the Far West
Recently.

The Jacksonville Courier tells of the
treatment of Patrick, one of the best
twirlers of the Central association,
last season, as follows:
Pitcher Alfred Patrick left Jack
sonville for his home in Arlington,
KY, this afternoon, cheered on his
way by the we'll wishes of host OF
admirers for both Patrick and his
work in the pitchers box
Stories from the far northwest are
to the effect that Patrick was given
very little chance to exhibit his skill
as a pitcher while witt Portland. He
was put in to finish few hopeless
games and he pitched one five-inning
contest for Portland. In that game
the regular catchers had cold feet
and the third baseman did .Ae catch.

When McCredie of Portland re-
leased Patrick. Manager Mohler OF
San Francisco snapped him up with
the expectation of playing him in his
games with Portland. The Frisco
manager stated that he had never
seen Patrick start, but he looked
mighty good in warming up. He
though with proper development the
youngster would make very valua'
BILE pitcher. But Mohler failed to Sc
cure Patrick's release from Jackson
vile and was unable to play Patrick
Mohler expressed the desire to take
Patrick with him to Frisco in the
hope that he could arrange matters
so that he might play him with his
club. But such arrangement was not
made and Patrick returned to Jack
sonville, arriving last night.

cence in whatever he proclaimed
or demanded, by the convention
of delegates assembled.
And now the Democrats OF
Colorado have, along with a full
some adherence to Bryan upon a
directly opposite platform. linked
themselves to the corporation
and utility interests of Denver
in an acknowledged partnership
with Mayor Speer, whom they
have accepted as their State
leader and standard-b bearer.
Of course this does not include
all of the Democratic delegates
who attended the convention at
Glenwood Springs, and notably
not the delegation from Delta
county, but that does not pro-
hibit the Speer victory from be-
ing overwhelming, nor does it
offer any mercy or hope for
union or harmony in the ranks
of the State Democracy.
The Centennial State, with its
National Democratic convention
to be held in Denver, may sue
ceed in giving an exhibition of
enthusiasm, but it is very doubt
full if it will feel that it is in any
way genuine.

Denver Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
June II. The demand for good
fat cattle exceeded the supply
here last week and prices are 25
to so cents higher. Anything
fit for the block found quick sale
and packers could have used a
great many more cattle. A new
top for the year was put on the
steer market at $6.55, at which
some good Longmont beeves sold.
They were of very good quality
but right fancy stuff would have
brought considerable more. 9th
err steers sold at Sc. 80 and Sc. 20,
while a bunch of good South
Park hay feds went at $6.O5.
The Delta independent., 1908-06-19

Cows were very scarce and the
few good ones offered went like
'hot cakes" The best sold at
S4.75 to SIS. 35 and medium to
fair at $4.25 to $4.75. Choice
heifers foom Loveland sold today
at $3.50, the record price of the
year. Anything fleshy enough
to kill was disposed of in short
order, but when it came to the
poor grades statesmen found it
difficult to move them even at
lower prices. Bulls were active
and firm with bulk at SO. rs to
$4.OO. Veals sharply higher.
Good light weights sold at Sc.
to Sc. so with tops at $500. Very
few feeders and stockers went
to the country because very few
were offered. Not a great many
wanted however, as eastern
markets were reported lower
and demand light. The inquiry
was very good for the good
aeshy steers but anything of
this kind was quickly snapped
up by killers who were willing
to pay more than feeder buyers
could afford. Today's supply of
cattle, 5000 head, mostly south
erns. Demand for natives good
and market fully steady.
Hogs about quarter higher
than a week ago with demand
very good. Prices now range
from IS. so to $3.50.
The sheep demand was good
on this market and values are so
to rs cents higher than week
ago. Good wooled lambs sold up
to 5000 late in the week. The
supply here was very light and
packers are needing good killing
stuff.
