when it was perfectly apparent to eV- eryone in the bleachers that the last runner had spiked the bag in the center This was not the case, how ever. The runner himself admits that he stepped over the sack. and that he did not touch it at all. but thought that the umpire. who was at the time watching the ball being played in, would not see the play" and also he would have had to break his stride to hit the sack. Our coach on third base also saw the play, and tried to get the runner to return to second, and did not allow him to go home, when there was plenty of time. In the other case. Williams admits that he cut the second sack by at least six inches.
 In the first place, there are few games of good ball played in which the umpire is not roasted by some of the fans. who imagine that they sec a play from their seats up in the bleachers. much palmer than the man on the diamond. whose sole business it is to know whether the player is safe or not. Gormely umpired good game Nlll illt Slh-lt tl>Ntplipi Ol calling the second man out for not getting to bat.
 A batter is allowed one minute to get to bat. but if each player was al- lowed his full time. what howl would come from the bleachers. This is the strong point in a good umpire-hurry the game. Ii was more the fault of our players who got mixed in their batting order. an ineXcusable blunder. Gormely was right on top of every play. and outside of this one instance, umpired good game.
 I do not believe the coasters can re- call a single instance in the game where a decision was protested by a player from either side. A good ball. tosser will uphold an umpire every time in his decisions. when he sees him on top of every play. deciding in- stantly and staying with the decision.
 You have a good umpire in Cor mely. Stand by him. quit knocking, boost for the home team and you will have better ball games.

All that was said in that article has been sub- stantiated. A statement is made by R. P.

Stockmen Have Fun.

Denyer.-There was fun and to
spare at the banquet given by the Colo
RADIO Cattle & Horse Growers Associa-
tion in the convention hall of the AL
bany hotel Tuesday night. From 8
o'clock until nearly midnight the men
off the range feasted, and sang, and
enjoyed themselves in the hearty man
ner which has made these annual ban
quets thing to be looked forward to
from year to year.
Manitou water and ginger ale was
all that was provided to irrigate
parched throats, but it was all that
was necessary and the hilarity in the
air was produced by no artificial stim-
illus
The menu was labeled Chuck" the
Albany hotel was described as the
mess wagon" and the other inciden-
tails to the evening were carried out
similarly in the plains vernacular.
John w. Springer acted as boss of
the roundup" and Fred p. Johnson
announced the speakers. Among the
men who enlivened the occasion with
informal remarks on informal
topics, were State Senator E.
M. Ammons, Lieut.. Gov. e. r. Harper,
Dexter T. .Sapp. Col. B. F. Montsom-
cry, Judge D. C. Beaman, Dr. Henry

Cattle at Western Exposition.

Denver.-Fine cattle form the larg.
est part of the show at the stock
yards. Growers have brought the best
stock their states produce from the
following states: Ohio, Wisconsin,
Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas and Wyoming. The largest
bull In the show comes from Nebraska,
near McCook, and has been raised and
fed on buffalo grass. The bull is four
years old and weighs 2,640 pounds.
As Is customary in most stock
shows, the Shorthorns and Herefords
lead in the number exhibited, although
there are a number of Aberdeens,
Angus and Galloways. There are not
many Jerseys there, but those shown
are Of the best.
The grand champion Shorthorn
steer is a three-year-old and looks
more like an elephant than q steer.
He is of solid red color and weighs
2,145 pounds. He is too big and fat
to stand up much Of the time and he
can be found generally lying on his
side taking things easy. These ami
mails are all gentle and seem to appre-
ciate being made much over. The
grand champion Of the Herefords
comes from La Cross, Wis. and is
owned by Cargill and McMillin. This
animal weighs 1900 pounds and is
hardly two years old. His mate.
owned by the same men, is the steer
that took second prize, three-year.

Theft of a Valuable Painting.

y During the first week of December
last most valuable painting by the
celebrated Antoine Van Dyck, was
stolen from the walls of the Church
"Notre Dame" in Courtrai, Belgium,
representing the elevation Of the Holy
Cross This painting has an immense
value and, as in the case Of the Gains
borough painting, was cut out of the
frame. 1t is eleven feet. eight by nine
feet, eight inches size. AS a precau-
tionary measure, the public should
guard itself against either receiving
or purchasing the painting, and as a
special favor, is requested to immedi-
ately report the disclosure of this most
valuable painting to any Belgium con-
sui.
Antoine Van Dyck was born in Ant
werp in 1899 and died in the year 1641.
He studied and worked with Rubens,
the master of Flemish painters. Van
Dyck acquired fame and travelled in
all parts of Europe, where he left valu-
able paintings. The elevation OF the
Cross, which was stolen in Courtrai,
was painted In Antwerp in the year
1928.

Colorado State Granue.

Denver.-The annual meeting of the
Colorado State Grange, which opened
at the Charles block in this city Tues
day morning, was largely in the ma
ture of love feast. For several years
previous to the last annual meeting
the order had been torn by internal
dissenSionS, with the result that many
oranges had surrendered their char
ters, and the membership had dwind-
led to a very low figure. This year,
however, the breaches have apparently
all been healed, and the report of the
secretary shows a most fourishing
condition. During the past twelve
months the membership has more
than doubled, and there are now sew
enteen subordinate oranges and ST.
1874 in the state treasury.
At the opening session the utmost
harmony and good feeling prevailed.
There were sixty delegates present,
representing every subordinate grange
and every section of the state. The
principal feature was wle annual ad-
dress of Grand Master ]. A. Newcomb
of Golden, who, after twenty-five years
Of continuous service as an officer of
the state grange-eight years as sec
retary and fourteen years as grand
master-has declined further official
service and will retire to the ranks.
The address was detailed recital
of the work done during the past year,
and was source Of great satisfaction
and enthusiasm. 1t showed that nine
new oranges had been instituted and
that the membership had grown to q.

the coming year
