comodate the down and out players
and those of the spectators who
may die laughing. Bets on the re-

FATS AND LEANS
The Cook Benefit Game Ex-
citing Much Interest

A large amount of Precipitation is
being cast off these days by those
composing the Fat nine in practic-
ing up for their ball game a week
from Sunday when they expect to
sit down hard on the Leans and
forever squash the ambition of the
gaunt ones as far as baseball is con-
cerned.
The Leans on the contrary assert
that it takes something besides beef
to alter their opinions and that the
Fats will have to go some and then
a little if they wish to come out
victorious. The Leans have only
signed nine men while the Fats
have 20 on their staff, eleven of
which are to be held as reserves.
Those intending to see the game,
and that is about everyone in town
that can see, are requested to bring
their lunches, prepared to stay six
or seven hours as it is proposed to
play nine innings.

lions that less than twenty-five per
cent of the force is available. This
makes it necessary to spread an av
erage mans service over nearly
four times 1873, 900 acres, decreasing
fire protection far below the point
of safety in many cases.
In the face of this, however, fire
losses on the National Forests are
kept at a point where they are triv-
ial when compared with the dam
age which would be caused were
the lands contained in the National

FIRE TOWERS
Lookout Stations for Fires
on Forest Reserves

Working along the line of secur-
ing the greatest results in protec-
ton against fire, with a minimum
of expenditure, the Forest Service
has decided to establish on the
most advantageous points of the
National Forests in the West, a
series of lookout stations from which
news of the breaking out of forest
fires can be telephoned to Forest
officials.
Since all of these stations will
command a view of the country for
miles around the worko detecting
and extinguishing fires in their in
cipiency will, by this plan, be great
ly expedited, with the result than
many thousands of dollars worth of
valuable timber will be saved annu-
ally.
In most of the National Forest
States the climate is very dry, and
the rainfall light. Conditions,
therefore, are remarkably favorable
for the spread of fire and eXtraor-
binary diligence is necessary in pa
trolling dangerous areas. To adj
minister the vast area included in
the National Forests, approximate
ly 1915, 100000 acres, the govern
ment has about 1,400 men in the
field. If each man could be used
for fire patrol, he would have to
cover approximately 1873, 900 acres.
AS matter of fact, however, the
volume of business on the National
Forests has grown to such proper

ELY WINS
The Second Game from
WintOn---Sc0Pe Il to II


A large crowd was present at the
local grounds Sunday and witness
ed the Ely Fire Department put it
over the Winton Tigers on score
of 10 to II.
The large score would indicate
a ragged exhibition but such was
not the case. While the game was
devoid of anything most SEN
sational, several good plays were
made on both sides. The features
of the game was the heavy hitting
of Seraphine and Cox, the former
having three three-baggers to his
credit. Cox made two three and
and one-two sack hits. eChilders
also distinguished himself with a
long throw from the right field to
the home plate catching a runner
coming from third.
Seraphine was on the mound for
Ely and LaBeau attended to the
receiving end. Hoffman and
Byers were the battery for Winton.
Murray and Brockway held the in
dicator and did their work in a
very neat manner. The score by
innings and the lineup was as fol-
lows:

JACK WARNER QUITS.
Ex.Tiger Leaves Galveston, Tex, Club
and Man Who Backed Him 10 Sore.

GALVESTON. Tex, May 4.-Much to
the regret of everybody connected
with the game 1t begins to look very
much as IL the Sandcrabs will be out
OF the Texas league or transferred to
some other city before long. Jack
Warner has baked on a bad deal and
skipped the country. James j. Nor
ton, who was Warmers hacker, says
he does not want the franchise and
states that II is for sale to the high
est bidder. Pitcher Slater has jump
ed the team and gone to his home.
Norton Is quoted as saying that the
only interest he has In the team Is
his Endorsement on the back of War
ners notes and that he wants nothing
to do with the business. He states
that he may go to Oklahoma City to
find out what shape the team Is In
and In the meantime he announces
that II there are those who want to
get In the game they can see him for
SO much cash. but 1t will take cash
and not hot air. All he wants Is the
$1,000 he loaned Jack Warner, and
when he gets that he is ready to quit.
