Mike Clabby fin- ished a good third.
 A ball game, between the regular, shop team and team composed of IS of the remaining material in the fac tory was started, but subsided when contest between the married and sin gle men was proposed.

BASE ] BALL'TIPS,

Jersey City, with Red Waller doing the stunts, had a chance to lower Rochester league leaders colors yes- terday, but fell way back, being shut cut 10-0. Waller was touched for 1s hits while Mcconnell, a New York American cast off, held the Skeeters to four hits. The strange part of that quartet of hits was that all of them were made by former Connecticut leaguers, Waller and Warmer getting one apiece and Jack Hannifan two.
 It was also a bad day for Peter Will son. who lost the second game he pitched for Newark, who are making a great stab for the pennant. Pete went along good till the fourth inning when he blew up allowing Toronto four runs, 'Iron Man" McGinnity succeeded him.
 The Eastern league race is causing a. great deal of interest hereabouts as the league is composed of number of former Connecticut leaguers and form CT big leaguerS. Both Newark and Rochester will make great bid this week to cop. the flag, which is within reach of either club. Both clubs meet in Newark for two games this week, the results having a great bearing on the leader.

In fact, the cost Of destroying the mice
with poisoned alfalfa hay over this area
was reduced to about IS cents an acre.
Irrigation and winter flooding, when
aided by small dogs which kill the mice
when the latter are driven from their
burrows, were found to be two effective
methods of disposing of the rodents,
while burning Of dry cover and blowing
up Of lands not usually titled destroyed
the homes of thousands, forcing them
out where they could be killed. Clean
cultivation, with thin wooden wrappers
placed around the trunks, was found to
be the best method of saving orchard
and ornamental trees from the sharp
teeth OF the mice.

Each succeeding year sees the fruit
industry of Washington assuming larger
proportions. AS the bearing acreage
increases the output is becoming larger,
and like improvement in quality is to
be obtained at the same time. These
conditions are increasing the demand
for Washington fruits in the best East
ern markets. To encourage this de-
mand an effort will be made to inaugu-
rate fast train service for the purpose
Of landing Washington perishable fruits
in the New York markets as soon as
possible. Such an innovation will make
ii practicable to build up large bust
ness, where the fruit Of the state is now
going in limited quantities. II will
make an overproduction Of Washington
fruits impossible.
