Sporting Tips

Third place again for the Indians.
Hofer does not like that very much.
Fennell, Ottumwa's star man will
probably work in today's game.
Yesterday the Indians won the sec
ond Of the sixteen easy games ahead
during this month.
Pittsburg's great winning streak was
broken yesterday, the team losing to
New York by the score of to 2.
Mullin, who won ten straight victor
les for Detroit, lost yesterday, Phil
adelphia winning by the score of 5
to A.
Eleven players in yesterdays game
walked to first. Corriden and Hide
brand drew passes to the initial sack
on two occasions.
Belt has been playing a star game
behind the bat during the past week
and if he could keep his present pace
up he would be the best catcher in the
league despite OF his years. Frank
Belt is remarkable man and the
game is proud of him.
Miller catches more difficult throws
than anyefirst baseman in the league
and yet yesterday had the misfor-
tune to drop the easiest throw of the
day. Miller does not make slip
very often.

Their weakness in base running has
been particularly shown during the
past two games in Keokuk.
What Difference.
When the local team is losing
And is slipping down the slide
To the dark percentage cellar,
Where the poor tail enders hide,
Then the fans in listless fashion
And with tagging footsteps SLOUGH
To their places in the bleachers
Everybody has crouch.
No one cares what. teams are playing
No one cares who makes hit,
And a triple unassisted
Would not make them root a bit.
When the ninlble center fielder
Takes a hard one from the fence,
All the cheering that they hand him
You could buy for thirty cents.
T3-ere is frost along the bleachers
And the festive peanut tastes
Like a piece of dried-up cactus
From the arid desert wastes.
And the seats above the grand stand
Are as cheerful as tomb;
There is nothing at the ball grounds
But chunk of solid gloom.
When the local team is sitting
In Its place upon the top
Then tle army and the navy
Couldn't make the rooters stop
Every play they makes a marvel.
Every hit they makes beaut,
And the bleacherites q dippy,
Everybody has to root.

CORN TWO CENTS PER GRAIN
Twenty-Five Kernels of Exposition
Prise in Fifty-Cent


Seed corn worth : cents per grain, is
being given away by some of those who
bought the p~rize-vinning ears at the Ma
tional Corn exposition.
In a neat sealed package the prize corn
is being pu; up and sealed by the
sitIon management, twenty-five kernels in
each envelope. The package says:
This envelope contains twenty-five ker-
nels from the "FIrsts' in the open 10 the
world and grand sweepstakes corn OF the
National Corn exposition. Omaha. and Is
from ears winning total prizes to the
amount OF $40. The package is put up
and sealed under the direction OF the
officials OF the National Corn exposition.
above. J. WILKES JONES,
General Manager.
What the effect of the distribution OF this
corn will be on the corn crop in the west Is
a matter Of conjecture. twenty-five kernels
however will grow at least fifty ears Of corn
II IL is carefully sorted the grower will
have az least forty ears for seed next fall.
This Is putting pure blood" into the
corn fields 81 the west, and according 10
the experts II the twenty-five grains are
planted where the corn plants which Il
produces will not be poloniEed by scrub"
ears in other fields or from other seed.
there is no reason why the children Of
prize winning corn" should not be prize
winners.
The largest distributor OF corn is being
made BY z. Z. Fsyille OF Des Moines, the
editor Of Successful Farming. who was the
largest buyer Of prize corn at the auction
following the National Corn exposition.
