Norfolk Wins Against Pilger.
Norfolk's Standing.
Played. Won. Lost. Pct.
IL 5 .545

Norfolk won from Pilger Sunday by
the lopsided score of 10 to 4. Although
the grounds were a little soft, the
Page crowd stole a few bases by fast
running. Cooper was batted all over
the field and was often wild, and
threatened to quit the game in the last
of the sixth, but was finally induced to
return to the box.
Both of the pitchers had an even
break of strike-outs, and only one man
walked on both sides. Archie Ward
pitched a splendid game and the Pilger
crowd had hard time making their
seven hits, which were all short ones.
The feature of the game was the
three-base hits of Tottenhoff and
Schoenauer,
Skeen, who caught for Norfolk, was
there and over.
The score:

A TRIBUTE TO BOYS.

Gilbert Hubbard: | have Il profound
respect for boys. Grimy, ragged. tou-
seld boys in the street often attract
me strangely. a boy is a man in the
cocOOn--you do not know what it is
going to becOmp-his life is big with
many possibilities. He may make or
llnmake kings, change boundry lines
between states, write books that will
mold characters. or invent machines
that will rpvolutiOnize the commerce
Of the world. Wouldn't You like to
turn Time backward, and see Abra-
ham Lincoln at twelve, when lie had
never worn pair Of boots? The lank,
lean. yellow, hungry boy-hlngry for
love, hungry for learning, tramping
off through the woods for twenty
miles to borrow book. and spelling
it out, crOuched before the glare Of
the burning logs! Then there was
that Corsican boy, one of a goodly
brood, who weighed only fifty pounds
when 10 years old: who was thin, and
pale, and perverse, and had tantrums,
and had to be sent supperless to bed,
or locked in dark closet because he
wouldn't "mind'. Who would have
thought that he would have mastered
every phase Of warfare ut 70; and
when told that the eNclequer Of
France was in dire confusion, would
say, "The tinancies? will arrange
them! Very distinctly and wildly
| remember slim, freckled boy, who
was born in the "Patch,' and used
to pick up coal along the railroad
tracks in Buffalo. \ few months ago
had a motion to make before the
supreme court, and that boy from the
patch" was the judge who wrote the
opinion granting my petition. Yester-
day ! rode horseback past field
where boy was ploughing. The
lads hair stuck out through the top
Of his hat; his form was bony and
awkward; his bare legs and arms
were brown and sunburned and briar-
scared. lie swung his horses around
just as l passed by, and from under
the Tapping brim Of his hat, he cast
quick glance out Of dark, half-bashful
eyes, and modestly returned my
salute. When his back was turned
took off my hat and sent a God
bless-yOu down the furrOw after him.
Who knOws?-I may go to that boy
to borrow money yet, or to hear him
preach. or to beg him to defend me in
a lawsuit; or he may stand with pulse
unhastened. bare Of arm, in white
apron, ready to do his duty. while
the cone is placed over my face, and
Night and Death come creeping into
my veins. BE patient with the boys
you are dealing with soul-stutf. Des-
tiny awaits Just around the corner.

should actually run short at this i'm
portant juncture?
Europe has been running steadily
short Of its best yield ever since 1903.
In 1904 Australia and Argentina made
up shortage of both England and
America in 1908 and 1908 the United
States filled the void; since then it
has been hand-to-mouth business all
around, with the progressive exhaus-
ton of reserves. If both Europe and
America were this year to fall below
normal average in the face of such
situation, an almost unparalleled
situation would have been created.
In 1897 and 1899, when EurOpe's
crops ran disastrously short in the
face of low supplies, America produce
ed a bumper yield. In 1893, when our
wheat was disappointment, Russia
and Austria filled the needs of the &C.
casion. Not since 1881, the famous
famine year." have both continents
fallen short. Only an extraordinary
combination of circumstances would
make possible such an outcome, and
on the face of things, they are not
probable this year. But the utterly
abnormal grain market Of the past
four months may rightly cause caution
in prediction.
