B. B. NOTES.

The team went to Merrill Thursday
and easily disposed OF the organization
representing that city. Tos make the
game more interesting every player on
our team was shifted to some other than
his regular position. McAuley and
Buemiller were left at home and Gard
ner did the pitching. Potter was loaned
to Merrill and his arm went lame. A
physician has advised him to let it rest
for few days.
Fond du Lac opened series Friday
losing the first two games and winning
Sundays game with ease. There was
apparently something wrong with the
Wausau team, especially in the pitchers
box. The Fond du Lac players jumped
on Lang after the fourth inning and
succeeded in hammering out more
than twice enough runs to win
the game, the final score being 8-3, and
they secured Is hits. Monday the team
left for Freeport for another long trip
and will be gone until July 6, when
Freeport opens series here. The team
has shown some loss of form recently
and errors have been plentiful. This
trip may result in change in the
teams standing. and either Freeport or
Lacrosse has chance to Jump into
first position. We start away from
home with lead of rs points.
Under orders from President Mol,
Buemiller is under a short suspension
as penalty for 'sassing" an umpire
at Green Bay.
The Wittenberg Indian base ball
team was in the city Sunday evening
on its way home from Merrill, where it
was defeated that day 1913 The team
plays Schofield next Sunday at Pine
park and the lineup of the Indians will
be IS follows: Hill, 3b; n DEBORAH, Oh;
Stacy. r. f.; Green Deer, C: Mann, 1b;
Whitening, If; R. DEBORAH, IS Pigeon,
CT; Wilson, p; Yellow Thunder and
Pierce, subs. This team is composed
entirely of Winnebago Indians and
was organized by Whitening, who was
given a tryout in the spring by the
Lacrosse team. Following this game
the Nationals and Logans will cross
bats.

LIGHT ON BUILDING MATERIAL.

For years the cement and concrete
people have been carrying on cam
paign of exaggeration and misrepresen-
tation fer the purpose of convincing the
public of the value of their product, as
a building material. They have
flooded the country with concrete
literature, have enlisted newspapers
and magazines in their behalf. The
public has been led to believe that this
material is new discovery and that it
is superior to all others for constructive
purposes. Its promoters are CON
stantly pushing it forward, advocating
its use for purposes for which it is en-
tirely unsuitable and claiming for it
merits which it does not possess.
1t would seem that the many failures
which have marked the progress of CON
crete, the many disasters which have
followed its use, would have educated
people TO its defects, but so little has
been said of these failures and the talk
in its favor have has been so loud, that
the truth has been overwhelmed by the
misrepresentation the public having
practically heard but one side of tie
case.
The result is, that the widespread
adoption of the use et concrete is only
a menace to the public safety, and an
unwarranted competition to the manu-
facturer of the burned clay product,
'@"hich has in every way demonstrated
its superiority as a building material,
that it seems necessary to publish some
facts relating to the subject The
following are extracts from letter of
Mr.. A. G. Koch OF Springfield, MINI

Not only is the conduct of reinforced
concrete under fire quite problematic,
but there are inherent trouble and pos
sibilities in that mode of construction
that make it DANGEROUS TO handle and
an absolutely uncertain quantity, and
therefore not desirable material to
use in building. The sole reason for
its use by any one is on the basis of its
Being cheaper than standard construc-
ton of brick and steel and tile. Now
then, to make it cheaper than that
standard it has to be cheaply done,
inferior materials used and these mixed
and put in place by cheap, Gnskilled
labor And that means "cheapness"
in very undesirable senss of the term.
1t is small wonder therefore, that so
many coilarses of buildings, built by
that system, have occurred in this
country. The appallingly long list of
such and fatal coliapses has had one
more item added to it within the last
twenty-four hours An apartment
house in Washington was the scene Of
this most recent illustration of the
dangers of concrete construction. Two
men were killeaan a number seriously
injured, ami some thirty families who
were contemplating soon moving into
