A Good Game of Ball.

The Sinner nine went to Hallettsville
last Sunday and crossed bats with the
Rosenberg Bros. Colts in very
pretty and exciting game of the ma
tional sport. Score to 5, the Sinner
boys holding the long end of the deal.
Before the game the Hallettsville
boys predicted they would drown"
the Sinner team, whatever that may
mean. If it meant they would defeat
our boys, u few minutes play con-
Yinced them their conclusions were
not very substantially drawn, and be-
fore the game was over, they were
aware of the fact that Sinner had
bunch of winning ball players
The first inning, Holchack opened
for Sinner with hit Welhausen beat
out and bunt. Jensen advanced them
with hit aDd both crossed the pan on
Sanford single over short In their
half of the first, Kuykendall hit over
second, stole second and third and
came in on an error. During the next
six innings, Sinner made three runs
and Hallettsville one, making the
score to 2 ia favor of Sinner. In
the last halt Of the eighth, Halletts-
vile made two runs on mixture oil
errors and hits The ninth inning
Welded nothing for either side.
Our boys make a very good show
ing on the diamond, every one doing
credit to his position. Special men
ton should be made of Pitcher Sand
ford, who pitched a fine game and
felded his position we'll, and First
Baseman Jensen and Catcher Hol-
chalk, who played fine ball. Sanford
and Jensen got three hits each the
| first three times to the bat.
| A return game will most likely be
played with Hallettsville on the home
diamond. The following participated
in Sundays gap11ss Adolph Richter,

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
Secretary Wilson Presents the Situa-
tion of the Farmers in Pleasing
TerMs-Touches on Price of Beef

Secretary Wilson Presents the Situa-
tion of the Farmers in Pleasing
Terns-Touches on Price of Beef.
Washington, Special.-In glowing
terms Secretary Wilson of the De-
partment Of Agriculture in his annual
report pictures the results of the
farmers work for the year ended
June 80 las.
Most prosperous of all years is
the place to which 1909 is entitled in
agriculture, is tie way the Secre-
tary puts it. The value of farm pro-
duets was $3.50, 100000, a gain of
1869, 100000 over the preceding year.
OF great popular interest are the
results of a unique investigation con-
Quoted by the department which
shows that in fifty cities the total re-
tail cost charged TO consumers for
beef above the wholesale cost paid by
the retailers averaged 38 per cent.
The lower the grade of beef, the
greater was the percentage of gross
profit.
In the upward movement of beef
prices the farmer, the report says,
has not shared equally with the pack
eT, retail and wholesaler, but as to
hogs, the case is different, the farmer
receiving nearly his fair share of the
higher prices of pork In the increased
price of his unfed hogs.
Secretary Wilson notes a great for
ward movement in enforcing the food
and drug acts, the willingness of
manufacturers to comply with the
laws and to cooperate with the de.
partment, making the work largely
educational
