citation Since Resignation
of L. r. Fossate.

1t seems that the long schedule of
lao games is not without favor in keo-
kuk, for in speaking to director of the
Keokuk Base Ball Association, some
consideration was shown for this long
er draft. The director argues that it
would be profitable to prolong the sea
son for the reason that the organiza-
ton and perfection of a base ball team
is as much for the 129 game as for the
lao game schedule. He states that
great expense is attached to the early
training, but after the team is once
well under way money is made as the
season advances. This great expendi-
ture of money is only returned as the
season Is prolonged, and if the extra
games are played the money received
is like SO much velvet. An expendi-
ture of 81 900 is useless for the short
season, he argues, and the lao game
limit would be more acceptable

There are other schedules to be sub
mitted, however, and certain changes
will be necessary. With the excep-
ton of the opening Keokuk seems well
favored in the two schedules.
Quincy is much opposed to either
of them and still is after the 140 game
schedule.

FREAK IN SEQU0IA FOREST
Tree Trunk That Has Stood for Six

Its Base.

Out II California there is tree
trunk which has stood for the last 16
years entirely severed from It's base.
says the Wide World Magazine. The
stump is Is feet in diameter, and the
trunk towers rs feet in the air. This
remarkable freak is located near the
Sequoia forest reserve In Tulare coun-
ty, California, and was sawn of by
lumbermen for timber. Through some
miscalculation. when the cut was fin
ished the tree still held its position.
and dynamite was resorted to to bring
it to the ground, which accounts for
the deep cash on one side. After the
first charge of the explosive had been
ignited the tree still remained stand
ing, and 1t was discovered that the
entire trunk had been shattered by
the discharge and was therefore use
less for lumber. Accordingly, the
work was stopped and the giant has
remained upright. withstanding some
OF the severest wind storms that the
state has known, held in its natural
position by its great weight
