the course when II Is considered that
he was the smallest and yotfngest OF

stride OF the winner carried him to
victory, the short strides OF Raffen-

OF the highest commendation for the
gameness and courage he showed
in the hard struggle. 1t was
gruelling race and the winner as
suredly deserved the victory. 1T was
q race in which II was an honor to

fifteen prizes had been donated for

ants was well rewarded. Al gold

while the merchandise prizes were
divided among all six.

over the splendid showing of Flood
and his Tigers, and well there may
be. for 1t has been a long time since
Mansfield has had team mp in the
running. But This year the Tigers,
after bad start saw the necessity
of getting better pitching talent
and the place held by Mansfield to-
day is due 10 Freeman and Schanze,
who Joined the club and helped out
the cyerworked Bucholz. When the
club is hitting. even fair pitching
will carry it along. but Mansfield
has always been noted for having a
team that one day will lace the
leather all over the lot and the
next day. fail to do much of note
with the stick. Good pitchers TO
help out on the light batting days
are a great source OF strength to the
club and will help to keep it up in
the race.
At Lancaster there Is some gloom
over the failure TO get close to the
top. Bus Fox is trying his best to
whip his club into shape. Without
Captain Browns help at second many
games have been lost. Brown will
soon be ba.rk. though, and his coming
will give Lancaster a big boost Then
some Of Laucaster's best players
have not shown their form of last
year and the great White is sadly
missed. Lancaster may grab onto n
first division berth but no pennant
is going to Foxville. Take that
from me.
Some one has asked what is the
master with the Diggers. There are
many things, gentle fans, and fan
cites. First, the Marion dub seldom
wins close score game. Errors al
ways seem TO be costly and hits,
plentiful enough, seldom come at
the right time. The pitching staff
is as good as any in the league
but none OF the beavers are winning
consistently. II bonehead play is
made, Digger will make ii and 1t
viii lose a game. Taken all In all
the team needs a good shaking up
lWilloughby. who has averaged only
three hits week since joining the
club, has no place at the top of the
list. A little more inside baseball,
too, will help. For instance in
recent game. Willoughby was up
with runner on first and none out
IN a dose game. Instead OF sacri-
fclng he tried to hit the ball out
and failed, the result being an easy
out But even that would not have
been so bad had a hit and run play
been planned and the Intention sig
nailed to the runner. The latter was
standing fiatfooted when Willough-
by hit the ball.
There are other places where the
playing Of the team can be made a
lot tighter and Manager Lewis
hopes 20 accomplish the result de-
sired.
The Newark club is in the cellar.
Newark must stay there. too.
There is only one chance for the
Molders to get out and that is by
being showed out by the Diggers.

THE PITCHERS.
Some of the pitchers In the Ohio
State league fared none too well in
the seventh week. II is noticeable
that many of the stars of last year
are falling to deliver. while new
hloods are constantly breaking in
and getting away wath a fair per-
centage of victories. The passing
of the old beavers is being attr'ib-
mted to the increased speed OF the
league. Umpire +. s. Handiboe Is
authority for the statement that the
Ohio State this year appears TO be
much faster than in its first season.
and he claims that this bettement
all along the line is responsible for
the downfall OF many topnotchers of
last year.
In the seventh week, Pickett, who
forged to the fore last week, was
displaced by. his sowthpaw team
mate Pennybaker, the real leader at
the close of the week. Scratch" Nc

pressed a little parcel into his hand.

An Economic Experiment.

Mister Otto Knowsomebetter was an eco
nomic chap
With Il well developed liking for a dol.
lar in his trap
He was wont to ponder wisely, with his
fingers In his hair,
ON the various expenses that an honest
man must bear.
And the one that most distressed him,
cen to giving him a shock,
was the awful cost of fodder he was
forced to feed his stock.
Now, we know the ancient fable of the
man who fed his steed
On a simple sawdust diet n had made
the same succeed
AS a steady equine ration-if the victim
hadn't died;
AND he knew the plan was useless. and
devoid OF sense beside.
So he figured out a process, widely diff
ferent from that,
whereby he could save his pocket and
his cattle keep their fat.
He procured a load Of sawdust with the
happy scheme In mind,
Shorts and bran and other staple of a
fat-increaslng kind;
Which he mixed in true proportion, with
a touch Of pepper stout,
For he'd heard il said the secret OF the
sawduS steed's demise
Was a little too much sawdust n the
lack Of exercise.
so he placed the toothSone mixture In q
freshly secured bin,
Smiling as he thought how bossy would
be neatly taken in.
Then he measured out a portion and he
gave it to his COW,
And she hesitated slightly, but she ate
il anyhow.
Then he went at eve to milk her, with
elation in his soul
And she gave a pat of butter in a little
wooden bowl!

Some years ago many farmers along
the line of the Missouri, Kansas &

and engaged a young lawyer named
Brown. Judge CAN'T, who was pre-

Of the cases out of court because they
We're improperly brought. Brown was
mad all over. Swelling with indigna-
ton, he arose and said: Your honor
will you please tell me how il is pos
sible in this court to get justice against
a railroad company"
Judge Can't quietly ignored the con-
tempt of court shown by the lawyer
n asked: DO you wish an answer
to that question, Mr.. Brown"
Yes, sir" defiantly replied the in
dignant lawyer; yes, sir, and / want
to know how a farmer can get his case
into this court so that it will be heard
Judge CAN'T smiled and said: Well
first, Mr.. Brown, I'd advise the farmer
to hire a lawyer"
